After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 77

The next morning, Juniper left home half an hour early, carrying breakfast made by the family cook, and headed to the hospital.

She tiptoed into the ward, only to find Katniss already awake.

Juniper blinked. "Did I wake you?"

Katniss gave a weak smile. "No, I didn't sleep well. Why are you here so early? Don't you have classes this morning?"

"I brought you breakfast. I asked the nanny to make it special. She simmered it for hours-chicken soup. Smells amazing, right?" Juniper put down her backpack and quickly pulled out the lunchbox. "Whenever I got sick, the nanny would make this for me, and I'd get better in no time!"

As soon as she opened the lid, the room filled with a delicious aroma, making Katniss's stomach growl a bit.

She hadn't had a proper meal in days, relying solely on IV nutrition.

"Have you eaten? Let's eat together," Katniss's voice was still a bit hoarse. Juniper felt a pang of heartache, "I've eaten. This is all for you."

Knowing Katniss was injured and couldn't move, Juniper carefully fed her.

"Not to be rude, but your dad is really something. You're his biological daughter, and you just woke up. How could he be so harsh?" Juniper said indignantly. "Seriously, you should be my dad's daughter. He may not be educated, but he knows how to care for his daughter."

The Davis family had risen to wealth quickly and had plenty of money but lacked culture and couldn't integrate into high society. They were looked down upon for their lack of heritage.

Even at school, the rich kids didn't like to hang out with Juniper for the same reason.

Katniss quietly drank the chicken soup and said with a wry smile, "Good thing my dad isn't here, or he'd beat me again."
