After her rebirth by Cici

Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Katniss took a few steps back, dodging Clara, and checked out the folks standing behind her.

Everyone from the Manners family was there, except for her.

Clara was rocking a camel coat today, a limited edition that cost a small fortune, and her perfume was some fancy brand.

Katniss's eyes landed on the ruby brooch on Clara's dress. It used to be Elodie's favorite piece of jewelry, something she cherished for years.

Once, Katniss accidentally knocked it to the ground, and Elodie lost it, beating her up pretty bad.

She even got punished with no food for a day.

A servant felt sorry for her and snuck her some bread and soup that night.

But the next morning, Katniss had a high fever, and it wasn't until her teacher called about her missing all her morning classes that anyone noticed.

Elodie, fuming, kicked open her door, saw her still in bed, and thought she was just being lazy and skipping school. She yanked off the covers, threw it to the ground, stomped on her with high heels, and cursed her out. It wasn't until she dragged her out of bed that she realized something was wrong. She touched Katniss's forehead and found it burning hot.

She quickly called a doctor to the house.

Since that day of hunger and high fever, Katniss's stomach had been weak. Even her favorite foods could make her nauseous if she ate too much.

Seeing the ruby brooch brought back a flood of memories for Katniss, a stark contrast to now. The brooch she once got punished for touching was now a birthday gift from Elodie to Clara.
