After her rebirth

The caller was a friend from the village where she used to live at Ella's house.

He said they should hold a memorial service for Aaron and asked if she wanted to come back to attend.

Although Katniss was not Aaron's biological daughter, she had called him dad for so many years, so it was reasonable for her to go back.

Katniss agreed.

But she wouldn't be genuinely sad at the memorial, just attending to fulfill that faint father-daughter bond.

In recent days, Maximilian's condition had improved a lot, and he seemed to be back to normal, which put her at ease.

Hearing that Katniss was going to attend Aaron's memorial service, he frowned and then said, "Let Conrad go with you."

Katniss did not refuse.

Going to that place, with so many people and gossip, although there wouldn't be any danger, it was best to be cautious.

After driving for several hours, she arrived at the memorial venue.

It was very lively here.

Many people were chatting together, and the venue was set up very decently.

Katniss raised an eyebrow, did Ella get rich? But it's no wonder, the Manners family placed their precious daughter here, naturally, they had to spend some money, otherwise, how could they ensure Clara wouldn't be bullied?

"What are you doing here?" Clara, carrying a basin of water, happened to run into Katniss at the door.

Her face was unfriendly, not wanting to put on a facade in such a place.

Mainly, it didn't matter how these people viewed her. Plus, living here for a few days, she felt very oppressed, and now encountering the culprit who made her like this, Clara naturally wouldn't have a good expression.

Katniss glanced at Clara and walked into the house on her own, "I was invited."

Clara quickly put the basin on the ground, "Pretending. Katniss, please leave here, don't disturb my father."

It wasn't about protecting anything, Clara just wanted to oppose Katniss at this moment.

"Father..." Katniss curled her lips, with a hint of sarcasm in her eyes, "You call him so smoothly now. Not bad, you've integrated well. As expected of the biological daughter."

Clara was so angry that her face turned pale. She approached Katniss, lowered her voice, and said, "I warn you, this is not a place for you to show off. If there's nothing else, leave quickly."

Katniss looked Clara up and down, then showed a meaningful smile, "Clara, you look more real now than before. It seems, more pleasing to the eye."

Clara tugged at her clothes, looking at Katniss with a fierce gaze.

Living here, she didn't dare to wear those expensive dresses she used to. Not only did they not fit in, but they could also easily get torn or dirty. More importantly, whenever she went out for some fresh air, some ill-intentioned people would look at her with lewd eyes.

Helplessly, she could only choose to dress more plainly, so as not to attract too much attention.

But Katniss was clearly mocking her just now.

She was about to say something when Ella came out.

She looked very sad, with no energy left.

Clara pouted.

A few days ago, she was lively when asking the Manners family for money, but now she was pretending to be pitiful.

Seeing Katniss, Ella started crying again, "Katniss, you're here. Your dad is gone, leaving me all alone, that heartless man. How could a good person just be gone like that..."

Katniss frowned, keeping a distance from the approaching Ella, "My condolences. Besides..."

She glanced at Clara, "Don't you still have a good daughter here? Clara was raised as a noble lady, so excellent that she surely won't ignore you in the future."noveldrama

Ella nodded slightly.

Clara stood aside without saying a word, just staring at Katniss.

Katniss stared at Aaron's portrait for a while, looking thoughtful.

Clara felt very uneasy, quickly walking to Katniss's side, "You've been here, what are you still doing here?"

Katniss ignored her and turned to Ella, asking, "Today is... his memorial service." Ella nodded.

"There is also a possibility..." Katniss paused, her eyes glancing at Clara, then said slowly, "I heard that some people, if they have unfulfilled wishes after death, might come back to fulfill them during this time."

Ella frowned, "Wishes?"

"Yes." Katniss said slowly, "It could be a concern for loved ones, a regret, or... a chance

to take revenge for being bullied and unable to fight back."

With every word Katniss said, Clara's heart trembled.

Ella was confused, but Clara felt very guilty.

She clenched her fists tightly.

No way.

That couldn't be true.

She was a young person of the new era, believing in science, and all this talk about souls was nonsense.

Clara's face turned pale, her heart pounding.

Katniss saw this but said nothing more.

She took some money from her bag and gave it to Ella, then turned and left.

Ella looked at Katniss, thinking that this daughter still had some conscience, they didn't raise her in vain.

Watching Katniss's departing figure, Clara breathed a sigh of relief.

But she still felt that Katniss's behavior and words today were somewhat inexplicable.

As Aaron's biological daughter, Clara naturally had to stay until the memorial service ended.

Otherwise, these relatives and friends would gossip and scold her behind her back. Fortunately, she wasn't alone here, or she would have been scared to death. Ella was helped into the room to rest.

She lay on the bed, crying. Although her relationship with Aaron wasn't particularly good, they had been married for many years, and his sudden death was inevitably sad.

Especially after Aaron's departure, she would have to earn money and do all the work alone in the future, how tiring that would be.

Thinking of this, Ella felt even worse.

At this time, a woman from the village came in, closing and locking the door behind

her.

She walked to Ella's side, looking mysterious, "Ella, I have something to tell you, you must hold on."

"What is it, Mary?" Ella saw Mary's serious expression, it seemed to be something big.
