Chapter 108
â She ⦠she â¦â Rupert stammered twice before exploding with anger .
â Iâm her father , after all ! I gave her life , raised her , and yet .
.
yet sheâs just going to let me die ? She couldnât even bother to tell me ? â
The more he spoke , the more labored his breathing became , until his head turned red and swollen like a balloon .
Fenwick could only pat his back firmly , trying to help him breathe easier while reassuring him , â Dad , donât get too worked up .
Youâre in good health now , arenât you ? Elysia may seem sharp tongued , but sheâs softhearted .
Sheâll definitely help you â
Torin could no longer bear to listen to such shameless words and said .
â When Elysia tried to end her life at Momâs grave and was rushed to the hospital with serious wounds , the doctor called you .
Why didnât you help her ! When Rowena had Elysia tied to a chair and abused her .
Where were you then ?â
Torin pressed on , his voice steady despite its bitterness .
â And letâs not forget , if Elysia hadnât stopped you from drinking that drugged milk , you wouldnât even be fine now .
The drug Rowena used on you isnât fatal , Isnât it only fair that she doesnât help you ? â
Every word that Torin had said hit Rupert like a thunderclap
â What do you mean ⦠taking her own life ? And abused her ? â Rupert gripped Fenwickâs shoulder tightly , and his rough hands were trembling
Two photos popped up on screen in the live chat right in front of Rupert , stark and shocking .
His mind flashed back to that phone call from the hospital long ago .
At the time , Rowena had been right there by his side and lied to him again .
It only took Rupert a second to conclude that .
He then realized Elysia didnât go to the hospital for an abortion .
On hindsight , he thought it made sense because Elysia had always been an obedient child .
And yet , time and time again , he had let her down â so much so that he let an outsider treat her so cruelly under his very nose .
It was his fault .
Again , he had abandoned her when she needed him most
However , Rupert was baffled .
â Why didnât she explain when she came back ? If Iâd known the truth , I would is completely different from now when she knows Iâve been poisoned â
never have let her suffer like that And it
As soon as Rupert finished speaking , the Elysia on the screen said , â So I recorded everything .
I started recording the moment the door opened .
Elysia calmly pulled out her phone as Rowena froze in shock .
The screen clearly displayed the timer on the recording app , which stopped at her touch , showing â Saved successfully .
â
Rowena was so furious that she looked like she was about to explode .
She lunged at Elysia , but Elysia had already prepared for this .
She quickly turned off her phone screen and held it behind her back
With a mocking tone ,
Elysia said , â Youâre right .
I donât need to save anyone with my blood .
Iâm not some superhero who saves just anyone .
â But all I need to do is play this recording for Dad , and once he checks with the hospital , everything will come to light Oh , and you just admitted to cheating earlier .
What do you think Dad will do ? Kick you out , maybe ?
â After all , youâre not his biological daughter .
Youâre just an outsider with no blood ties who tried to harm him .
â
Elysia threw Rowenaâs own words back at her , but while Rowena relied on deception , Elysia had evidence
The smug look on Rowenaâs face finally gave way to fear .
Meanwhile , comments flooded the live chat .
Well done ! That was so satisfying to watch ! ]
[ Elysia is so smart ! With evidence like this , letâs see how Rowena talks her way out of it in front of Rupert
[ Wait Dido â â Rupert just insist that Rowena wasnât harming him a moment ago ! So ⦠hasnât he figured out that he didnât become dementia because Elysia threatened Rowen to stop poisoning him ! Why didnât Elysia just give the evidence to Rupert and expose Rowenal ]
Elysiaâs words completely overturned Rupe
rtâs earlier assumptions .
His eyes widened in shock .
He finally realized that Elysia wasnât abandoning him .
She had recorded the evidence and used it to stop that ungrateful kowena from poisoning him further .

Chapter 108
He had thought his symptoms were just normal discomforts of middle age , but the truth was that Elysia had saved him yet again without him even realizing it .
She was his biological daughter , and blood ties couldnât be easily y severed .
Once he convinced her to come home , he would make it up to her properly .
He also had to ask her why she hadnât played the recording for him earlier .
Also , why hadnât she told him about being rushed to the hospital and the horrific physical abuse Rowen inflicted on her ?
He wondered if he had disappointed her so deeply .
â No ! That canât be it â Rupert suddenly shouted , startling everyone around him , who looked at him like he was crazy .
He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment , then tried to appear calm as he explained .
â Iâm her father , after all .
Blood is thicker than water .
It mustâve been something Rowena said that influenced Elysia and kept her from showing me the recording .
With this thought , the frustration in Rupertâs heart finally eased a little .
But the images
sof those bloodied photos still lingered in his mind .
âMy poor child .
She bled so much â
â What nonsense ! â Stellan couldnât hold back his contempt anymore .
If he had known how utterly foolish this old man was , he wouldnât have wasted so much effort on unnecessary schemes .
