After her rebirth

When Elodie arrived, Katniss was lazily sunbathing on the balcony.

This luxurious suite had everything one could need, making it as comfortable as home.

It's great to have money.

In a good mood and living comfortably, Katniss's injuries healed quickly.

At this moment, Conrad came over to tell her that Elodie had arrived.

Hearing this, the smile on Katniss's face disappeared.

Unexpectedly, someone so proud and unable to lower her face actually came for Nathan.

Indeed, except for Katniss, every child was cherished by Elodie.

Elodie seemed a bit uneasy when she came in.

Having learned from the last lesson, Elodie was no longer so arrogant and appeared somewhat gentler.

She was carrying some things in her hands, and her eyes showed some concern as they fell on Katniss, "Is your wound getting better?"

Katniss sneered, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why be so hypocritical given our relationship?"

Elodie's face stiffened.

She was somewhat dissatisfied with Katniss's attitude and couldn't help but say, "Katniss, no matter what, I am your mother. Can you not speak to me in that tone?"

Katniss spread her hands, "What tone should I use then? Ms. Smith, don't you understand the situation yet? I'm no longer your daughter, remember?"

These words were said without any scruples, making Elodie's face turn pale. She forced herself to suppress the urge to curse and put on a very fake smile, "Katniss, just tell me what you want me to do. As long as I can do it, I will."

Katniss glanced at her indifferently, "You're wrong again. You came to me, making it seem like I'm forcing you to do something bad."

Elodie's face looked unpleasant, but she still tried to remain calm, "Katniss, I'm begging you, please save Nathan. He has always been good to you."

Katniss sneered, her eyes full of mockery, "Good? Has anyone in the Manners family ever been good to me? I remember saying very clearly before that the life and death of the Manners family have nothing to do with me."

"But didn't you say that as long as I begged you," Elodie's face turned red as she stammered, "you would agree to save Nathan?"

Katniss smiled, "Yes, I only said I would consider it. Besides, do you call this begging? Have you had such a smooth life that you don't know what it's like to beg?"

Elodie, being repeatedly mocked by Katniss, became somewhat angry, "Then what do you want? Do you want me to kneel and beg you? I am... no matter what, we were mother and daughter for a while. No matter how bad it was, it was better than living with Ella, right?"

That was true.

If it weren't for the experiences of the previous life, where Elodie wanted to take her life for Clara's, Katniss wouldn't have such deep resentment.

Seeing Elodie like this, Katniss chuckled, "But back then, I took care of you all with all my heart, which should have repaid your so-called kindness to me, right? If it weren't for me, Nathan might not even be alive now."

Elodie became anxious, "Katniss, will you save him or not?"

"You see, you're doing it again." Katniss looked indifferent, as if watching a show, "I said you don't know how to beg. If you need something from me, you should show your attitude, not force me. Otherwise, if I'm unwilling, I can't think of a good way to save him."

Seeing Katniss like this, Elodie was really powerless, so she lowered her voice and said, "Tell me, what are the conditions?"

"If you want me to save Nathan, expel Clara from the Manners family and let her return to the Aaron Hill family." Katniss's expression turned cold, and she said word by word, "If you choose Clara, then let your son wait to die."

These words were like a sharp blade, piercing Elodie's heart.

Elodie had imagined countless conditions, no matter how difficult, she even thought it wouldn't matter if she had to give a large sum of money. As long as she could save Nathan, nothing else mattered. But she didn't expect Katniss to propose such a condition.

Elodie instinctively asked, "What does this have to do with Clara?"

Of course, it had something to do with her.

In the previous life, Katniss remembered that time when she took care of everyone in the family with all her heart, which made her so exhausted that she fell ill. She had a high fever and was in a daze, and no one even gave her a glass of water.

Everyone thought she was too pretentious, just a cold, making it seem like a big deal.

At that time, Clara just got a little wet in the rain and had a slight runny nose, and the whole family was extremely worried.

They brought food, took care of her, comforted her...

At that time, Clara was like a little princess, receiving all the love and care.

Katniss couldn't understand, just because she didn't grow up with them and had no emotional bond, did she deserve to be ignored?

So, this time she wanted to see, between Nathan and Clara, what would Elodie choose?

People don't feel the pain until the knife cuts into their own flesh.

Clara's eyes were cold, revealing some mockery, "After all, Nathan has been cherished for so long. Doesn't Clara want to do something for Nathan? It's just a status, nothing too serious. Clara is very understanding and kind, I think she will agree."

Elodie was a bit troubled, "Can we change the condition? Clara hasn't suffered much since she was a child. If she goes back to the Hill family, she will be wronged." Katniss didn't waste any words, her tone extremely cold, "Fine, then let Nathan wait to die!"

Elodie's face changed, she immediately approached Katniss, "No, Katniss, don't be so heartless. He is your third brother! You are related by blood. I'm begging you!" Katniss took a step back, her eyes full of disdain, "Don't use emotions to manipulate me, we never had any feelings. If you can't even bear this, don't say I have no conscience. Aren't you all selfish too? Don't talk about great maternal love, it's all selfishness."

Elodie's face froze, not knowing what to say.

She wanted to say something more, but seeing Katniss's look of keeping her at a distance, she couldn't say anything.

In the end, she could only nod, her tone carrying a bit of pleading, "Can I think about

it?"

Katniss nodded, smiling slightly, "One day, you only have this much time to think." Listening to Katniss's sarcastic tone, Elodie felt very uncomfortable, but there was nothing she could do.

She left the hospital, and looking at the glaring sunlight outside, she felt a blackness before her eyes and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, a kind person helped hernoveldrama

up.

Elodie returned home in a daze, and seeing Clara coming to greet her, she felt a pang of bitterness in her heart.
