After her rebirth

As time passed, Fox couldn't help but bite her lip. She thought of Maximilian's expression when he discovered she had drugged him, fearing that he would mercilessly expose her.

So, Fox couldn't help but say, "A confrontation is fine, but I need to change my clothes first, right?"

Although there was air conditioning and heating, she was only wearing a man's shirt, which didn't keep her warm at all. Her legs were bare and freezing.

If this continued, Maximilian wouldn't come out, and she would faint from the cold first.

Then, without further ado, Fox tried to open the door and leave.

Once she was out, who cared about these people?

"Just wear that." Katniss's thin eyelids lifted slightly. "Try it, see if you can get out of this door?"

Facing Katniss's cold gaze, Fox felt a moment of fear, but then she thought, what could Katniss do if she just walked out?

With so many people around, could she really kill her?

It was just a scare tactic.

With this thought, Fox gained some confidence, snorted coldly, and started to walk out barefoot.

But as soon as she took a step, a silver needle shot over, landing steadily at Fox's toes, gleaming coldly.

"Ah!" Fox's face turned pale with fright.

There was still lingering panic in her eyes.

Jesse's eyes flashed with surprise. This Katniss was really something.

Suddenly, the sound from the bathroom stopped, and the next second, the bathroom door was pulled open from the inside.

Maximilian walked out from inside.

Everyone's eyes gathered on him.

The man's clothes were already soaked with water, clinging wetly to his body, making him feel even more uncomfortable.

A deep wound had opened on Maximilian's arm, with bright red blood flowing from

the wound, seeping into his clothes and forming a red stain.

Katniss was suddenly shocked. Maximilian had self-harmed?

Was it to resist the drug's effects and stay awake?

His face was pale, his lips were blue, his forehead was covered in fine sweat, his breathing was rapid and difficult, and his fingers were trembling constantly, looking very painful.

Katniss immediately walked to his side, helping him to sit on the bed, then placed two fingers on Maximilian's wrist.

Maximilian couldn't say much at this moment, just weakly leaning on Katniss's shoulder.

Anger gradually filled Katniss's eyes.

She glared at Fox, then said to Hank, "Could you please bring your first aid kit?"

Now, with the heavy snow blocking the mountain, even calling an ambulance wouldn't be quick.

Hank had mentioned earlier that to prevent accidents, he had basic equipment and a complete set of medicines.

Hank's face was serious. After hearing Katniss's words, he immediately went to get the first aid kit.

Meanwhile, with all the commotion, Maximilian's friends were slowly waking up and naturally came over to see what was happening.

Seeing more and more people, and with Maximilian injured, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Katniss helped the drowsy Maximilian lie down, wiped his still dripping hair with a towel, and covered him tightly with a blanket.

She had just touched the man's hand, and it was ice-cold.

In the dead of winter, Maximilian had been drenched in cold water.

Clara glanced at the open door, had a thought, and tugged at Fox.

Fox's eyes lit up, understanding Clara's intention, and quietly tried to sneak out under her cover.noveldrama

Clara was very unhappy. "Katniss, what are you doing?"

Katniss ignored her.

After settling Maximilian, Katniss slowly walked to Fox's side, her words cold, "Now, you go in."

She pointed in the direction of the bathroom.

Fox was terrified of Katniss's fierceness and hid behind Clara, shaking her head.

Clara stood in front, facing Katniss's anger directly, "Katniss, don't go too far. This matter..."

"Shut up!" Katniss didn't waste words, directly pulling Fox out from behind Clara and dragging her to the bathroom.

"Let go of me, let go of me."

Fox struggled continuously, but it was to no avail.

Clara didn't dare to step forward, only daring to scold, "Katniss, you better stop, you can't treat her like this."

Katniss ignored her, directly throwing Fox into the shower and turning on the cold

water.

"Ah." Fox immediately curled up from the cold.

Katniss kicked her and shouted, "Shut up!!"

She was already being merciful by not cutting her.

She wanted Fox to taste what Maximilian had just gone through.

In the freezing cold, how long would it take for Maximilian's already weak body to recover from such a chill?

Clara's eyes flickered. If she let Katniss deal with Fox now, Fox would definitely implicate her.

She had to protect Fox and shake Katniss's position to have a chance to secure her own place in the Manners family.

She walked over, trying to rescue Fox from the shower, but was blocked by Katniss,

"You better not meddle, I haven't settled your account yet."

"Do you only know how to bully people with such rough tactics?" Clara looked heartbroken. "Katniss, you're too impulsive now, you'll cause big trouble. You've already punished her, isn't that enough?"

Katniss ignored her, only saying to Desmond, "If you don't take her away, I'll have to take action."

Clara was furious at being ignored by Katniss, "You... you move aside."

Fox, drenched in cold water, screamed in misery.

Clara was pushed and stumbled.

Desmond was angry, "Katniss..."

He wanted to intervene, but Jesse stepped forward, blocking him, and said coldly,

"Desmond, it's better not to get involved, right?"

The room, which was originally spacious, suddenly felt a bit cramped.

Jesse was smiling, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

Jesse was the son of the Turner family. Although he studied medicine and didn't get involved in the Turner family's business, the power behind him was not to be underestimated.

Desmond hesitated for a long time. He couldn't offend the Turner family for Fox. Seeing this, Clara stepped out of Desmond's embrace, trying to rush in, but was blocked by Jesse and the others.

Clara frowned slightly, "What are you doing, a few men bullying a girl?"

Jesse rolled his eyes, standing in front of Katniss, then raised his hands in a surrender gesture, "Hey, don't falsely accuse people. I didn't do anything, the public's eyes are sharp. I'm just standing here, is that not allowed?"

Clara felt extremely wronged. Jesse was simply a rogue!

Clara had no choice but to pin her hopes on Desmond, looking at him for help.

Desmond's face was extremely ugly. After a long time, he shook his head slightly at Clara. This matter couldn't be interfered with.
