After her rebirth

Inpatient Department.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry..."

"Patient in Room 2 needs emergency treatment."

The sound of doctors and nurses running echoed through the hospital corridor.

Nathan was pushed into the emergency room.

He felt his eyelids getting heavier, his breathing becoming more labored, and his body feeling lighter.

He thought he might be dying.

But in the next moment, he seemed to wake up.

He looked around; it seemed like a hospital operating room.

There were two operating tables.

Clara was lying on one, and Katniss on the other.

They both had their eyes closed, their faces pale.

Dylan, dressed in surgical attire, was operating on Clara. Although he said nothing, the implication was clear.

Nathan couldn't believe it.

Was this a life-for-a-life situation?

But he also felt it was somehow inevitable, like a kind of agreement.

Memories surged, and he seemed to remember.noveldrama

Clara needed a kidney, but there was no match.

Katniss happened to be a match, but she had stomach cancer, and everyone hoped to make the best use of her.

At that moment, Katniss fell down the stairs and died, so Dylan was performing a kidney transplant.

The scene shifted, and he saw his anxious parents and brothers waiting outside the operating room, including himself.

The operating room light went out.

Dylan came out.

He smiled and announced that the surgery was very successful.

"Thank goodness Dylan was the lead surgeon; otherwise, the surgery wouldn't have gone so smoothly. It's such a relief."

"When Clara recovers, we must thank Dylan properly!"

The family hugged each other, celebrating the rebirth of the Manners family's princess, Clara.

Clara was pushed out by the nurse, and everyone's eyes were on her.

But no one noticed the body covered with a white sheet being pushed out after her, looking lonely and sorrowful.

That was Katniss.

Katniss, who was already dead and no longer breathing.

Nathan's breath hitched, and his body seemed to grow heavier again until he lost consciousness.

The machines started beeping, and the doctors and nurses in the emergency room were sweating nervously.

The operating room light went out.

Lucas immediately rushed up.

Before he could speak, the doctor sighed slightly, then removed his mask and said to Lucas, "Your family should be prepared; he doesn't have much time left."

Nathan was pushed back to the ward, but along with him came the hospital's POLST form.

Lucas clenched his fists, then turned to Dylan, "Dylan, is there nothing you can do? I remember your mentor is also here, can you..."

Dylan shook his head with a grim expression, "Lucas, I've done everything I can. Now... the only option is Katniss."

At that moment, Lucas truly realized that if this continued, Nathan might really be gone.

Lucas spent the night in the study, the floor littered with cigarette butts.

He opened the curtains, and the glaring sunlight made him momentarily uncomfortable.

He couldn't wait any longer.

Lucas instructed Dylan, "Keep an eye on Nathan, I'm going out."

After speaking, Lucas grabbed his coat, opened the study door, and drove away.

At the Hamilton family entrance.

Katniss helped Maximilian out of the car.

After what happened with Fox, no one was in the mood to stay longer, so they returned early after spending the night.

Just as she was about to enter the yard, a familiar voice came from behind, "Katniss."

She turned around, only to feel her wrist tighten as she was dragged away.

Fortunately, Maximilian reacted quickly and grabbed her other wrist.

He looked coldly at Lucas, warning him, "Let go."

Lucas was stunned but still didn't let go of Katniss, "Sorry, but my brother's situation is urgent, I need Katniss to save him."

Maximilian didn't listen to Lucas's explanation, directly gripping his hand and repeating, "Let go!"

Although the man looked pale, his dark eyes were like a deep winter night, exuding a tremendous sense of oppression.

"Do you want to take her from me?"

The next second, Emilio, dressed in his usual black hoodie, appeared behind Lucas.

Lucas's expression changed, and he had to let go.

Katniss rubbed her wrist, which had turned red from Lucas's grip, her eyes cold, "Can't you use your words if you have something to say?"

Hearing Katniss's blunt words, Lucas had no intention of arguing, his tone softening, "Katniss, Nathan is dying. The hospital just performed an emergency treatment last night, and they've already given us the POLST form."

"If you don't save him, he will really die." Lucas's voice choked with emotion.

He looked exhausted, with stubble on his face, messy hair, wrinkled clothes, and dark circles under his eyes, clearly not having rested well.

Katniss's eyes remained indifferent, "I made my demands clear last time."

"If you can't move Clara's family documents out of the Manners family, then don't pretend to want to save Nathan."

"Not willing to pay any price..." Katniss sneered, her eyes mocking, "Your brotherly and motherly love is really cheap. Or do you think Nathan, a sickly person, is not as valuable as Clara?"

Lucas's face turned ugly, "Katniss, Nathan is in this condition, aren't you just letting him die?"

"How many times do I have to say it? If you can't understand human language, then stop wasting my time." Katniss said impatiently.

Thinking of using morality to threaten her?

Ridiculous, she never talked about morality with the Manners family.

After all, they didn't have any.

After speaking, Katniss turned and walked away with Maximilian.

Lucas panicked, he quickly stepped forward, but with Maximilian's warning, he didn't dare to be as reckless as before, only pleading, "Katniss, do you really have to do this?" "Clara has been weak since childhood, if she returns to the Manners family, she won't survive."

"Then let Nathan die!" Katniss said impatiently, her words revealing her ruthlessness. Lucas was helpless, he ran his hand through his hair and sighed, "I agree."

He took out his phone and called Elodie.

Katniss, meanwhile, told Maximilian to go inside and rest.

In the cold weather, after being drugged and doused with cold water for so long, even

a strong body couldn't take it.

Maximilian didn't want Katniss to worry, and since they were on the Hamilton family grounds with Conrad watching, he felt assured that Lucas wouldn't dare do anything to Katniss.

The call connected.

Lucas immediately said, "Mom, listen to me. Take the family documents and Clara, and

transfer the family records now."

There was no response from Elodie.

"Mom, there's no time to think. The hospital gave Nathan the POLST form yesterday. Without Katniss, Nathan won't make it."

"Mom, are you listening?"

Getting no response from the other end, Lucas grew increasingly anxious.

"Aaron..." Elodie finally spoke, her voice tinged with weariness, "He's dead."
