After her rebirth

Clara showed a proper smile.

She helped Elodie to the sofa, "Mom, how did it go? What did Katniss say?"

Everyone knew that Elodie went to the hospital today to ask Katniss to save Nathan. She was also very concerned about this matter and waited at home specifically.

Elodie seemed to be in a bad mood, and Clara couldn't help but ask, "Mom, what's wrong? Did things not go well?"

Elodie looked like she had been crying.

Clara suddenly had a bad feeling.

Before she could ask, she heard Elodie's rather serious voice, "Clara, I need to discuss something with you."

She immediately felt uneasy.

Could it be that this matter involved her too?

"What is it?" Clara felt a bit uneasy, holding Elodie's hand and softly comforting her, "Mom, don't stress too much. Desmond and I are also trying to find a way to help Nathan and Simon."

"Even if Katniss doesn't help, we can still find a way. It's just that Desmond has been hospitalized recently, so he doesn't have much energy."

She tried to remind Elodie that no matter what, she was Desmond's future wife. She couldn't just agree to any of Katniss's demands because of a few words.

Elodie still looked a bit dazed. She gritted her teeth as if making a decision, and looked at Clara with a bit of pity before slowly speaking, "Clara, only Katniss can cure Nathan's illness now, so I went to beg her today."

Clara didn't dare to meet Elodie's eyes. She felt a bit panicked and quickly said, "I know."

"She said she would only help if your family relationship is removed from the Manners family and returned to the Aaron family."

Clara's mind went blank, and her voice trembled, "Did you agree?"

Elodie's voice choked up, "She only gave me a day to think about it. I had no choice but to agree."

Clara's fingers trembled slightly, and a trace of reluctance and disappointment flashed in her eyes, "Mom, do you really want me to leave the Manners family?"

"Clara, I'm in a difficult position too." Elodie looked up at Clara, "But this is the only way to save Nathan now."

Clara's eyes reddened, and she immediately hugged Elodie, her silent actions expressing all her reluctance.

She felt Elodie gently stroking her hair and softly comforting her, "Clara, don't worry, it's just a temporary measure to deceive Katniss. Once she cures Nathan, I'll bring you back immediately. This is my promise to you."

Clara lay in Elodie's arms, sobbing softly, "Mom, I can't bear to leave you."

She said this, but where Elodie couldn't see, a trace of disdain flashed in Clara's eyes, and she became cold.

What promise, what love, it was all fake.

They all spoke so nicely usually, but when it came to the critical moment, she was the one abandoned.

Sure enough, whether adopted or biological, she was not as important as her son.

Elodie sighed slightly, "Clara, there's nothing we can do about this now. Dylan also said that Nathan is beyond medical help in the hospital. If Katniss doesn't help, he can only wait to die."

Speaking of this, Elodie felt very sad.

One of her sons was about to go to jail, and the other was lying in the hospital waiting

to die. What made her feel even more desperate was that her husband didn't care about any of this.

What kind of sin had she committed?

"Why is Katniss doing this? Does she hate me?" Clara's voice was muffled and a bit sour, which made Elodie feel even worse.

Elodie's eyes turned cold, and she spoke with disdain, "Katniss is just like that. She's been in a small place for too long, so she's narrow-minded. She'll make things as difficult as possible for us if she gets the chance. Even though she's my biological daughter, she's nothing like me."

In comparison, Clara, who was not her biological daughter, was much more understanding and kind.noveldrama

Clara stood up, wiped her tears, and said, "But you know what my biological mother is like. She was already unhappy about the engagement. If I really move back, she definitely won't treat me well."

She couldn't refuse this matter. Refusing would not only bring no benefits but also make the Manners family unhappy. So, at least on the surface, she had to agree.

But she absolutely couldn't move into the Hill family's house.

Elodie thought for a moment and then said, "I understand. Just move your family relationship out; you can continue living in the Manners Villa."

Clara bit her lip and frowned slightly, "Katniss won't agree to that. She hates me so much; she'll definitely make things as difficult as possible for me. Mom, if we do this according to Katniss's wishes, I don't know if I can survive."

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face, and Clara was immersed in a sad atmosphere.

Seeing this, Elodie felt very distressed, and her eyes also reddened, "Clara, it won't be like that. Don't worry, you still have Lucas and Dylan. They will look out for you. Besides, we've already moved your family relationship as she asked. If she still doesn't allow you to live in the Manners Villa, then she's going too far."

Clara's eyes turned cold.

Elodie really didn't understand the situation.

Katniss had the upper hand now; she could do whatever she wanted, couldn't she?

Clara pursed her lips and put on an understanding look, "Mom, don't worry. To save Nathan, I'm willing to sell my blood and kidneys."

Hearing Clara say this, Elodie felt very comforted. She nodded, "Good girl, I knew you would agree. You're my good daughter, and I won't treat you badly."

"But, Mom," Clara said hesitantly, "if the Boleyn family finds out about this, won't they have an even worse opinion of me?"

Elodie shook her head and immediately said, "Don't worry, I'll talk to them. They should understand."

Clara forced a smile and nodded.

Understand, my foot!

Now that Simon was definitely going to jail for a criminal offense, her future father-in-

law Gabriel was already very unhappy about it, openly and secretly mocking her for bringing shame to the Boleyn family.

If she lost her status as the Manners family's adopted daughter, could she still marry into the Boleyn family?

If she couldn't, wouldn't her life be ruined?

She didn't dare to bet on Desmond's love for her. After all, Desmond's own status was quite awkward.

No! She absolutely couldn't let things develop in this direction. She couldn't just sit and wait; she had to do something.
