Chapter 137
Rowena , lounging on her grand bed with her phone , was stunned into silence when Elysia stormed into the room , bold and unapologetic
Panic flashed across Rowenaâs face as she scrambled to sit up , shouting .
â Elysia , what are you doing here ? Iâm warning you â Torin and Fenwick are both here today ! â
Elysia didnât respond .
Instead , she climbed directly onto Rowenaâs bed .
At the hospital , after a grueling rescue operation , Fenwick rushed toward the gurney being wheeled out of surgery .
â Torin ? â he cried out , desperation thick in his voice .
When Fenwick saw Torinâs closed eyes , his heart clenched , rage bubbling to the surface .
He spun around and grabbed the nearest doctor by the collar .
â Why is he still unconscious ? Whatâs wrong with Torin ? Speak up ! â
The doctor twisted away just in time , narrowly avoiding Fenwickâs grasp .
Fenwick froze , then dropped to his knees .
The next moment , he broke down in a fit of sobs , crying like a child â Torin , donât leave me I canât live without you .
I donât have a brother anymore ? â
The nurses exchanged awkward glances before one brave soul stepped forward , patting Fenwick on the shoulder .
â Sir , the patient is fine .
Heâs just under anesthesia and hasnât woken up yeL
Fenwickâs wailing cut off instantly .
His trembling hand reached out to check Turinâs breathing .
When he felt the faint warmth of life , his eyes widened , tears still clinging to his lashes .
â Heâs alive ! Oh , thank god .
Heâs alive ⦠â
The nurses , watching this overly dramatic display , couldnât help but feel a mix of amusement and secondhand embarrassment .
He was like an actor in a tragic comedy â stunningly handsome , yet utterly ridiculous .
â Well no wonder heâs never had any scandals .
Who could deal with someone like this ! Even a face like his canât make up for it one nurse muttered under her breath .
â Get lost .
â Torin groaned , his voice weak but laced with irritation .
He struggled to open his eyes , nearly choking on Fenwickâs theatrics .
The doctor , who had narrowly escaped Fenwickâs wrath , returned , professional yet visibly annoyed .
â The patient has a severe stomach perforation caused by prolonged poor eating habits .
Post â surgery , he needs to â¦
â Fenwick Get me my VR headset , Torin interrupted , completely disregarding the doctor .
The doctorâs expression darkened , but his professionalism held firm as he finished his instructions and walked away .
Meanwhile , Fenwick rummaged through the hospital room , unable to find the headset
â It must have been Caellan who stole it .
Or you could use mine , Torin , Fenwick suggested .
Of course .
Fenwickâs offer was less about generosity and more about avoiding the livestream .
With no cameras on him at the moment , Fenwick figured he could skip watching .
After all , heâd already learned his lesson .
When Elysia returned , heâd apologize properly and agree to any of her demands,
â Youâre wared to watch , arenât you ? â Torin shot him a piercing look .
He could see right through Fenwickâs cowardice .
Every time things got tough .
Fenwick run .
He thought that avoiding watching Elysiaâs struggles would somehow grave what had happened
Fenwick stammered , unable to respond .
The weight of Torinâs gaze crushed any excuses he might have had .
Iâm not â¦
Under Tornâs unrelenting pressure , Fenwick reluctantly put on the VR headset , while Torin turned on the TV and connected his phone to stream
the feed
The monient they entered the livestream , chaos unfolded on screen .
â Elysia , what do you think youâre doing !! â Rowenaâs voice trembled with fear
She recoiled instinctively as Elysia stormed toward her , her presence alone enough to send Rowena scrambling to the far side of the bed .
The phone in Rowenaâs hand , still unlocked , was no longer her priority .
Elysia wasted no time , her fingers deftly swiping through Rowenaâs phone , apps with surgical precision .

Chapter 137
Even Rowena , as dian â witted as she could be , finally realized what was happening .
Elysia wasnât here for her .
She was after the phone .
â You ⦠you heard it ? You heard everything ? â Rowenaâs voice cracked as she rolled off the bed , her disbelief and panic evident in her wide eyes .
She wasnât the only one stunned .
The livestream clut enipted in clans
Joh dear ! This is hilarious !
[ Elysia just barged into Rowenaâs room like a queen , and one glare had Rowena screaming like a banshee .
Absolute legend ! ]
[ Rowenaâs room ! Nah , itâs Elyssaâs room , always has been .
Howens is such a fraud .
She always acts so tough , but look at her now .
This is pure drama .
I never thought the poor girl would go to such lengths to protect someone like Caellan , who doesnât even deserve her kindness .
)
[ Wait , am I the only one who thinks Elysia looks like Valeria Burchâs long â lost sister ? The resemblance is uncanny
Torinâs eyes fixated on one specific comment .
â She did it to protect Caellan
â Fenwick , what just happened in the stream ? Why are they saying Elysia went back to her room to protect Carllan ? Torin demanded , his voice cold .
Fenwick , who hadnât been paying attention , fumbled for an answer .
He couldnât admit he didnât know .
Instead , he guessed wildly .
â Uh , maybe Rowena took credit for taking care of Caellan , and he thought Elysia bullied her ? Or maybe Rowena accidentally hurt him while they were playing ? Or it could be .
â
â Enough .
Shut up â Torin cut him off , his patience completely worn .
Fenwickâs nonsensical rambling , filled with â maybe â and â ors ; only frustrated
him further .
He remembered this part of the story , though only vaguely .
All he could do now was pray he hadnât done anything to hurt Elysia .
