Cecilia stood a bit further away, surprised with her mouth slightly open.
"Is this job really that profitable?"
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, Cecilia felt it was inappropriate.
If it wasn''t profitable, why would Katniss, whose family is so wealthy, still be doing it?
But then a doubt arose in her heart. ording to Byron, Ashley couldn''t even afford her medical bills. So, who was paying for this expensive hospital room?
Her dad had mentioned that even with money, it was hard to get a spot in such a premium room; you needed connections in the hospital.
Ashley was really hard to understand.
Katniss checked on Caius again to make sure his condition hadn''t worsened.
Having done everything necessary, Katniss had no reason to stay longer.
She looked over at Cecilia, who stood there with her hands in her pockets, looking casual.
"Cecilia, shall we go?" she asked, her tone slightly questioning.
Cecilia shrugged and said nonchntly, "Sure, let''s go."
Byron then looked at Cecilia seriously, "Shouldn''t you be resting your leg instead of getting involved in this?"
Cecilia replied, "You''re the one who loves getting involved."
At this, Ashley''s eyshes fluttered slightly, and she pressed her lips together without saying anything.
Byron nced at her, "Let''s go."
Cecilia rolled her eyes at him but showed no other reaction.
Katniss, however, could keenly sense a hint of low spirits in her.
She hooked her arm around Cecilia''s and waved to the two by the bed, "No more talking, we''re leaving. I''ll be back in two days."
"Let me know if anything happens in the meantime."
Outside the hospital room, Conrad was standing by the door. Seeing Katnisse out, he dutifully followed behind her to protect her.
Katniss let go of Cecilia''s arm and looked at her with a slightly pained expression, "Coming to see Byron being so attentive to Ashley, you''re just asking for trouble."
Cecilia clicked her tongue and stubbornly said, "I just came to see if Ashley''s dad is really going to die."
"No money, give money, and Ashley still won''t take it. That''s just pathetic!"
Katniss chuckled helplessly, somehow understanding Cecilia.
Matters of the heart are indeed not easily controlled.
It remains to be seen whether Cecilia or Byron wille to their senses first.
Dn came out of a room around the corner and saw this scene.
Two young women, followed by a tall bodyguard, chatting affectionately as they walked, creating a harmonious picture.
Katniss looked up and saw Dn standing ahead, staring at her, his eyes slightly tense.
After taking a couple of steps closer, Dn spoke first, "Katniss, are you still determined to treat Caius?"
Katniss didn''t really want to talk to him but felt some things needed to be rified. She didn''t want any further contact with him.
She let go of Cecilia''s hand and stood in front of him, "Dr. Manners, didn''t I give you the answerst night?"
"I''ve already got the patient''s family''s consent. If you disagree, you can talk to them." Dn''s face darkened a bit.
Caius''s condition was special and extremely difficult, attracting the attention of the hospital leadership as soon as he was admitted.
The hospital had a meeting and decided that Caius must be cured, making it a challenging case for the hospital to enter in the uing International Medical Unionpetition.
Held every three years, thepetition was just two months away.
Every hospital wanted to showcase their outstanding doctors to bring glory to their institution, and doctors from various departments wanted to seize this opportunity to shine.
The hospital director had always admired Dn and specifically assigned him to this
case.

He also persuaded Jesse to oversee and guide, intending to push Dn''s name onto the international stage.
With Dn and Jesse, no hospital in Luminous City or even the entire state could match them.
The incident fromst night had already reached the director''s ears, who called it nonsense and insisted that Dn continue treating Caius.
"You''ve only seen Caius twice and don''t understand his condition. His illness is veryplex, not something an ungraduated medical student can handle."
Dn frowned and said earnestly, "I didn''t mean to be harshst night, but I was worried because you were being reckless."
"Caius''s condition is critical, and every second counts. If something goes wrong, can you still graduate smoothly?"
Katniss listened quietly, a hint of cold sarcasm spreading in her heart.
Once again, he was acting like he was doing it for her own good.
In reality, he had never done anything genuinely for her benefit.
"Don''t worry about it," Katniss said, lifting her bag to reveal the medical records inside. "Ashley trusts me, and I understand the condition."
"Katniss!"
Dn pressed his eyebrows, his voice deepening, "You still have a chance to change your mind. Don''t end up regretting it."
Conrad looked at Dn, unsure whether he should punch him.
He seemed polite to Katniss, but his words were infuriating.
Cecilia understood. Who was this guy?
Daring to doubt Katniss''s medical skills?
Did he think wearing a white coat gave him the right to lecture people?
Status and age never represented a person''s ability. How could such a grown man not understand this?
Katniss''s expressionless face showed a slight smirk, "Thanks, but you can keep that chance for yourself."
"Let''s go."
Cecilia deliberately gave him a sideways nce and followed Katniss with a proud toss of her head.
Conrad red and waved a fist at him.
Dn sighed, not bothering with Cecilia and Conrad.
Watching the three of them enter the elevator, his eyes darkened. Only after the elevator descended did he turn to leave.
Once in the car, Cecilia couldn''t help but ask, "Katniss, who was that doctor to look down on you like that?"
Katniss pressed her lips together and didn''t hide it from Cecilia, "My second brother, but not anymore."
Hearing this, Cecilia remembered what she had heard about Katniss''s family.
Katniss''s family wasn''t good to her at all, especially her brothers, who all doted on a sister with no blood rtion.
Cecilia loved gossip but had principles. She never believed any negative rumors about Katniss.
So she never asked Katniss about it.
Seeing it firsthand today, they really had no trust in Katniss!
Cecilia''s chest burned with anger. She pounded the car seat and said furiously, "He''ll regret his words today."
"You just keep moving forward; you have plenty of supporters!"
Katniss smiled at her. She would keep moving forward. After all, this wasn''t just about two thousand dors; it was a matter of life and death.
Katniss had Conrad take Cecilia back to The Thorne Vi before returning to Golden Crest Estates.
Maximilian hadn''te back yet. Mira was cleaning, and she happened to be organizing the wardrobe, which was full of clothes she had specially prepared to spice things up for Maximilian and Katniss.
There were many styles. Mira had bought everything the store clerk rmended, and the clothes made her, at her age, cover her mouth andugh.
Mira rummaged through the clothes and couldn''t help but say, "Mrs. Hamilton, don''t you like these styles of nightwear? They all look unworn."
Katniss was sitting at the vanity drinking water. Hearing this, she choked and coughed twice, her face quickly turning red.
