NovelUpdateChapter 214
Upon hearing this, Dylan couldn't help but furrow his brow.
Then, as if he hadn't heard Katniss's sarcasm, he calmly put down the fruit and smiled warmly, "Katniss, we are
still related by blood. I'm your second brother. You don't need to be so hostile."
"Is itwho's hostile, or is it you?" Katniss raised her eyebrows slightly. "You chere for Simon, didn't you?
Dylan, do you think I'm easy to bully? Do you think if you ca few more times, I'll give in?"
Dylan shook his head, his voice very calm, "Katniss, I'm not here because of Simon. It's about Nathan."
Mentioning Nathan, Katniss's anger subsided a bit.
She pretended to ask casually, "Is he okay? He fainted here that day and scared me. Letmake it clear, don't
wrongfully accuse me. | didn't say anything harsh."
Dylan nodded, his attitude becoming even gentler, "I know. Nathan's condition is very bad. He was gradually
getting better with your care before. We didn't see your good deeds, so we wanted to ask if you could help him?"
Hearing Dylan finally acknowledge her past contributions, Katniss felt a bit sour inside. But only a little.
Now, she didn't care about these things at all.
Katniss's lips curled up slightly, and she gave a sarcastic smile, firmly refusing, "Of course not."
She wouldn't let her sympathy overflow.
Dylan's expression didn't change, as if he knew Katniss would respond this way.
He rolled his eyes, suddenly smiled, and said warmly, "Then can you givesguidance? You don't have to
do it yourself, just pointin the right direction, okay?"
Katniss didn't answer.
Dylan's eyes darkened, but his expression remained as gentle as ever, "No matter what, we are siblings. To be
honest, Nathan has spoken up for you several times before. He thinks it's our fault and that we shouldn't have
treated you that way. We owe you an apology. | can understand if you don't forgivefor Simon's matter, but |
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthope you can help Nathan."
Katniss lowered her eyes, her eyelashes trembling.
She didn't expect that the words Nathan said that day were sincere and not just an act. But, as she said that day,
the harm had already been done. What was the use of saying these things now?
Katniss snorted coldly, "The only reason | agreed to see you is to tell you one thing. The Manners family matters
have nothing to do with me. You'd better not ctoagain. Simon just hurtlike this, and you still want
Dylan didn't get angry upon hearing this. He still spoke gently, "Katniss, don't let a moment of anger make you
regret it."
"Ridiculous." Katniss sneered, "Regret not saving the Manners family? Please, get it straight. | have nothing to do
with you now."
Dylan sighed slightly, "What will it take for you to save him?"
Katniss's face darkened, losing patience, "Don't cto me. | don't have the ability to save anyone. Instead of
wasting there, you should think of other ways."
Although Katniss had said this, Dylan was still not giving up, "I know we all wronged you. But now it's a matter of
life and death. Nathan is really in danger and doesn't have much tleft. He was once on the brink of death,
but because of you, he found hope to live. Now, if you don't save him, he will surely die."
But what did that have to do with her?
When she gave her heart, how did they repay her?
Katniss found it laughable, but she seemed to propose a condition out of spite, "I might consider saving Nathan.
But you have to get Elodie to cand beg me." Dylan was stunned, "Mom?"
He sighed slightly, then said, "She clast time, but you..."
"That's what begging means." Katniss found it somewhat amusing, "With her attitude last time, how could |
possibly agree?"

Katniss didn't completely shut the door.
In the end, whether to save or not depended on how the Manners family chose.
Dylan knew Katniss harbored deep resentment, but it was because she once longed too much for family and
affection.
Dylan didn't think for long and agreed.
If Katniss could vent her anger and save Nathan, Elodie should agree.
But before begging, he had to tell Elodie to change her high-and-mighty attitude, or it would all be in vain.
Not long after Dylan left, Maximilian cin with the nutritious soup Mira made. Katniss drank it all, giving him
face.
Dylan's visit couldn't be hidden from Maximilian. When he asked, Katniss obediently answered, "I'm not trying to
make things difficult for them. It's just that sthings, if they don't happen to them, they'll never know the
pain."
Maximilian nodded.
Katniss was curious, "Maximilian, aren't you going to ask why | want Elodie to beg me?"
He asked, "What do you want to do?"
His serious demeanor lacked sfun.
Katniss playfully blinked, "It's a secret for now."
Maximilian smiled indulgently, "Okay."

Whatever she liked was fine. After all, if the sky fell, he would hold it up.
Don't be fooled by Katniss's current happiness. She deeply hated the Manners family, and her heart knot hadn't
completely untied. If torturing the Manners family could let her vent, he was more than happy.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe two chatted idly, and before they knew it, it was almost ten o'clock. Katniss was surprised, "You're not going
back? Get srest early. After all, you're busy with work."
Maximilian pulled out the folding bed from the room, "I'll stay with you tonight." At this moment, Katniss realized
Emihad left at spoint. Actually, she wasn't immobile and didn't need someone to stay overnight. Besides,
Emiand Conrad used to sleep on the sofa outside, but Maximilian was different. Looking at the small folding
bed, it was hard to accommodate the tall Maximilian. Katniss felt a bit distressed and pointed to her bed, "How
about we sleep together?" Her voice was a bit soft, with a hint of sweetness, making Katniss herself feel a bit
embarrassed.
Although they had shared a bed before, it was mostly initiated by Maximilian, and she half-heartedly agreed.
Now, it seemed like she was inviting him.
Of course, she was just being polite.
But Maximilian didn't hesitate at all and agreed readily, "Okay."
There was a hint of laughter in his tone.
The hospital bed wasn't like the one at home. It was fine for Katniss alone, but with Maximilian, it felt cramped.
Maximilian wrapped his big hand around her, pulling Katniss into his arms. His deep voice reached her ears,
"Good night, sleep well."
