Chapter 87

Simon was super annoyed. Out of all his brothers, he was the only one with a free schedule. Lucas was swamped with work, Dylan was stuck in surgery, and Nathan was too frail to handle anything.

So, it was up to him.

After getting a call from Dylan, he took a break from his teacher to head over.

But by the time he got to the hospital, Katniss had already checked out.

She must've done it on purpose!

"Simon, if you're sick, go see a doctor," Katniss sneered. "Since when do I need your permission to leave the hospital?"

"Are you deaf or just not listening? I said I was cutting all ties with the Manners family. I want nothing to do with you anymore. Your brain and ears are both useless, beyond saving," she continued. Last time, she was nearly beaten to death, and Simon had a hand in it.

Hearing this, Simon's anger flared up. "Katniss, you're so ungrateful! Our family has treated you well all these years, and yet you turned out to be such a troublemaker, always causing problems and ignoring everyone's kindness!" Katniss held the phone away, listening to Simon's rant, her smile growing more mocking.

They treated her well? By making her wear old, faded clothes and sleep in a broken, cold junk room where the chill seeped into her bones?

"Today, to welcome you home from the hospital, Clara personally cooked for you. Is this how you treat someone's genuine effort?" Simon frowned, feeling even more annoyed.

They usually wouldn't let Clara cook, but today she insisted on making a meal to welcome Katniss, so they agreed.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have brought Katniss home on Clara's special day, causing a mess.
