After her rebirth

After a flurry of activity, Clara was taken to a nearby hospital, while Ella was temporarily detained by the police.

After Clara's wound was bandaged, she called the Manners family. When Elodie heard the news, she anxiously arranged for Clara to be sent to a major hospital in Luminous City overnight.

Seeing Clara lying on the hospital bed, pale and bloodless, Elodie was terrified.

"Clara, how are you? Are you okay?" Elodie held Clara's hand, trembling slightly.

She had raised her daughter like a precious gem for so many years, never daring to let her get hurt. That damned Ella actually dared to stab her.

The knife looked scary, but Clara's injury wasn't too serious.

However, she was terrified.

She had been pampered since childhood and had ordered many people to do bad things, but she had always been protected in a safe environment.

Even if she did bad things, no one would do it so openly.

She really didn't expect Ella to have such guts.

Clara leaned weakly on the hospital bed, letting Elodie hold her hand, and then said feebly, "Mom, don't cry. I'm fine. The doctor said it's nothing serious."

"What exactly happened?" Elodie wiped her tears, "You only said you were injured, but how did it suddenly happen..."

Clara lowered her head, saying nothing.

Elodie became anxious, "What's wrong, Clara? Is there something you can't say?"

"I..." Clara hesitated, then showed a helpless smile, "Mom, let's not talk about it. I don't want to dwell on it."noveldrama

Elodie shook her head disapprovingly, "Who bullied you? Mom will stand up for you." "That's right." Lucas and Dylan hurried in from outside.

They were both very busy, but when they heard Clara was injured and hospitalized, they came immediately, not caring about anything else.

After all, she was their beloved sister for so many years, and they were still worried when something happened to her.

Seeing her two brothers, Clara shed more tears.

After crying for about five minutes, she sobbed, "I don't really know what happened. I only know today was Aaron's memorial service..."

She really couldn't call Aaron "Dad" in front of the Manners family.

Clara paused, then continued, "I was supposed to stay there, and many people were helping. Then, Katniss came, saying she was there to mourn."

The Manners family said nothing.

After all, Aaron had raised Katniss for a few years. Even if he wasn't good to her, he was still her foster father. Now that Aaron was gone, it was appropriate for her to attend.

"After that..." Clara slowly began, with a hint of imperceptible resentment in her eyes, "Katniss pulled her adoptive mother aside to talk. It seemed she gave her some money, but I don't know what they were talking about. After Katniss left, Ella called me into the room."

At this point, Clara's face turned pale again. She shrank on the bed, trembling slightly, "Then Ella started yelling at me, accusing me of causing Aaron's death. She called me a vicious woman and other things. I had no idea why she was saying that..."

"I tried to explain, but she didn't believe me." Clara looked at the Manners family with grievance, "Then she stabbed me with a knife. I... I don't know..."

She half-truthfully recounted the events.

Katniss did come, and she did give money. Whether they talked alone or not was uncertain. With so many people coming and going, who knew if they talked alone?

And even if people accused her of lying, it depended on who the Manners family believed.

She said all this just to leave a bad impression of Katniss on the Manners family. She didn't care how others viewed her.

After hearing Clara's words, a fierce look flashed across Elodie's face, "That bad girl is truly vicious. She actually incited Ella to hurt you. Unbelievable."

Dylan's eyes flickered. He stood quietly aside, saying nothing.

Although he loved Clara, his intuition told him that Katniss wouldn't do such a thing. It wasn't about trusting Katniss's character, but it seemed unnecessary for her.

People always have a motive for their actions. What would Katniss gain by inciting Ella? Perhaps Ella was provoked by something else.

Lucas was also furious after hearing this, "How could she do that?"

If it weren't for the fact that Katniss was treating Nathan, Lucas would have rushed over to teach her a lesson.

They had followed her instructions, yet she still wouldn't let Clara go. It was infuriating.

Dylan stepped forward, his voice gentle, "But now is not the time to settle accounts with Katniss. We have no evidence, and it's all just our speculation. She still needs to treat Nathan. If we offend her..."

He didn't finish, but everyone understood.

Elodie's eyes flashed with displeasure, "She's probably relying on this to do whatever she wants."

Clara lowered her eyes, her tone soft, "Dylan is right. I'm just guessing. Maybe it's a coincidence... Katniss probably wouldn't do that."

Seeing Clara's obedience, Elodie felt heartbroken, "Clara, you're still speaking up for her. You used to help her, but being too kind-hearted isn't good. Some people just don't know how to be grateful."

"Mom..." Clara shook her head, "Don't say that. It's my fault for making you worry. I think the police will investigate thoroughly."

She held Elodie's hand and then asked, "I wonder how Ella is doing. I heard she was taken by the police. Do you think the neighbors will scold me when I go back?"

"Why would they scold you? You're the victim." Elodie was angry, especially at Ella, the assailant.

Clara's eyes were red, and she said, "But no matter what, she's still my... mother. If I don't get her out, people might scold me for not caring about my own mother."

Elodie frowned, "You're too kind-hearted. I think you shouldn't go back there."

"I can't." Clara immediately shook her head, "I have to go back to the Manners family..." She looked at Lucas, "It's my fate, something I have to endure."

Lucas remembered that he had insisted on sending Clara back to the Manners family last time, which led to this incident. He felt a bit guilty and said, "How about this, we'll rent a place for you in Luminous City. You don't have to go back there. The police are still investigating and will give you justice."

Hearing this, Clara's eyes flashed with joy, but she still looked worried, "Won't Katniss be unhappy?"

Elodie was furious, "What more does she want? You were hurt so badly. If you go back, you might lose your life. Don't worry, I'll talk to her."
