Chapter 73
Rowenaâs voice cracked with anger as she yelled into the camera .
â So this is it ? You and my mom teamed up to mess with me ! A memory live stream ? Seriously ! Like that could ever be real !
â Youâre trying to frame me for your death usir
the surveillance footage , arenât you ? â
After her outburst , Rowena spun around to unlock the door .
But strangely , the pounding and ranling from earlier had ceased entirely .
She pushed the door open effortlessly , only to freeze in her tracks at the sight before her .
Her fiery anger extinguished in an instant as her eyes widened in disbelief , meeting the gaze of someone she hadnât expected .
Torin said , â Row Rowena , youâre not actually
Torinâs lips formed her name instinctively , but he caught himself just in time .
This girl standing before him was no longer his sister .
His sister could
never be this vicious , this cruel .
No , never
Caught off guard , Rowena hastily squeezed out a few tears , attempting to appear pitiful .
â Torin ⦠Iâm awake ⦠I finally woke up .
I missed you so much , the whimpered
Her eyes turned red , and teardrops the size of pearls fell with practiced precision .
Her innocent tear â streaked face was a stark contrast to the venomous thoughts hurking beneath the surface
But Torin had seen through her charade .
Avoiding her outstretched land , he brushed past her without a second glance , striding into the room where Elysia lay .
His hean thudded heavily in his chest .
Torin thought , Elysia , Iâm here , Iâve come to apologize .
Iâve been wrong â so terribly wrong .
At that moment , other than the researchers .
Stellan had also arrived .
Before he could enter , Rowena darted after him and clung to his arm like a leech
She tilted her head , her voice dripping with feigned sweetness â Torin , whatâs wrong ? Thereâs nothing in ser in there .
Letâs go home , Okay ? I just woke up , and I feel so dizzy â¦
red eyes and tea
Torin turned to her with a cold , unreadable expression .
His gaze lingered briefly on her red â rimmed eyes : tear â streaked cheeks â features that would have once melted his resolve
But now , Reason triumphed over sentiment .
He shook her off with force and said ly , â Let go .
I donât have a sister
like you .
â
Rowenaâs face paled instantly .
If Torin entered the room , heâd find Elysiaâs body .
With only herself in the room carlier , there would be no one else to blame .
â No ! Torin , please donât g
go in , she pleaded , clutching at his sleeve .
â Iâm not feeling well .
My chest hurts so much .
Canât y you take me to the doctor first ! 1 .
.
I think Iâm going to faint
Torin glared at her .
frustration etched deep in his features .
She clung to him , impossible to shake off , yet unworthy of a harsher response ,
He finally snapped , â Rowena , stop pretending .
Elysia is in there , lying on that cold bed .
Iâm going to see her .
Rowenaâs mind raced .
â Elysia ! Since when did Torin call her that so affectionately ? And how did he know Elysia was inside ? Did he see the surveillance footage ? Did he see me nearly strangle her ?
Her panic surged .
In a desperate bid to stall him , she clutched her chest theatrically , gasping for breath .
â Torin ⦠youâve forgotten everything I did for your illness , havenât you ? How can you treat me like this now ? You wonât even take me upstairs to the hospital ? Itâs right there .
⦠â¦.
â¦.
â Please ⦠just take me to the doctor first .
You can come back after I canât breathe .
.
While they argued , a curious nurse snuck into the room and discreetly began streaming the scene live
Within minutes , a staggering billion viewers flooded the broadcast â breaking all records .
The chat exploded .
If Torin believes her lies again , I swear Iâll find him and finish him off myself ]
What did Rowena do for Torinâs ! ]

ast this nonsense and get inside the room .
]
[ Forget them .
I want to see Elysia.
Someone push past
Rowena noticed the flicker of doubt in Torinâs eyes and quickly pulled out her phone .
But as soon as she unlocked it , the familiar notification soun rang out .
She had forgotten to log out of her g
game before pretending to be in a coma .
The chat went wild
This is gold .
How will she spin this ? Let me guess .
Oh , my brain was in a coma , but my fingers had a mind of their own ! â ]
Torinâs gaze hardened as he watched her frantically exit the game .
The realization hit him like a brick wall â his supposedly comatose sister had been gaming in a hospital bed .
â This is absurd , â he mattered , his voice trembling .
Rowena , you ve gone too far
Before Torin could finish his sentence , Rowena thrust a photograph in front of his face , silencing him instantly .
The photo was drenched in hues of red , horrifying and grotesque .
Torin took one glance before recoiling in pain , swiping it away as his face contorted in anguish .
His voice trembled as he muttered .
â It was you ⦠it really was you .
â
Seeing her plan working .
Rowen immediately began to cry , chasing after him with her words .
â Torn , look ⦠back then , to save you , I trusted that remedy .
I cut a piece of flesh from just beneath my collarbone , the closest to my heart , and used the blood to make your medicine .
And now , canât you show me even a linke sympathy My heart hurts so much , â Rowena said .
Watching the livestream , Fenwick could no longer sit still .
Remembering that Torin had left the broadcast running , he shouted into the camera , â Torin , take Rowena to the doctor right now ! Hurry ! Rowenaâs heart canât take this kind of stress anymore ! â
He hadnât expected Rowena to appear in Stellarâs laboratory , let alone the revelation that she was never actually in a
in a vegetative state .
But none of that mattered now .
Torin didnât know he had swapped hearts with Rowena .
He didnât know the heart she now carried was unstable and unable to withstand emotional turmoil
What if Rowena died of heart failure ? What would we do he wondered :
The mere thought amplified Fenwickâs fear a thousandfold .
His composure crumbled , his voice trembl
trembling , his eyes reddening with wor
worry .
He pleaded again , â Torin , forget about Elysia .
Sheâs lying right there , sheâs not going to die .
Take Rowena to the doctor now ! â
The raw concern in Fenwickâs voice , the redness in his eyes , and the sheer panic etched across his face revealed how deeply worried he was for Rowena
And yet , even as Fenwick shouted at the screen , Torin remained frozen , lost in thought .
The others in the room looked on indifferently , unmoved by his urgency
Fenwick finally snapper and bolted toward the door , intending to intervene himself .
But
it just as he reached the exit , a plastic water bottle flew through the air , hitting him squarely on the head .
One bottle was followed by another , and then another , until the entire studio erupted .
Every staff member grabbed their water bottles â some empty , some still full â and hurled them at Fenwick without hesitation .
Torin , having locked the door behind Fenwick , ensured there was no escape .
In the livestream chat , viewers cheered wildly :
[ Finally ! Iâve wanted to throw something at him for so long ! How can he not see through Rowenaâs obvious act Heâs supposed to be an award- winning actor and canât even detect someone faking it ? )
[ How did Fenwick get three million fans ? Fake stats , I bet
[ Who told you he has three million fans ? His Twitter doesnât even show three million dollars , let alone fans .
His delusional stans just keep making stud up !!
[ Heâs nothing but a pretty face â a vase with no substance I
Chapter 73
I canât believe Torin is actually taking Rowena to the doctor instead of checking on Elysia .
This family is beyond saving .
At least Elysia has us Forget them
As the chaos continued , Stellan watched calmly , unfazed by the scene .
When Torinâs desperate gaze turned toward him .
Stellan merely cast an icy
glance at Rowena .
That alone made her sobbing escalate into full â on wailing , her cries laced
with apparent authenticity .
I donât want Stellan to take me ! â Rowena sobbed , her voice trembling .
â He hates me .
Heâs always come between me and Elysia .
Torin , are you really going to be this cruel to me ? L.
L
Her words were cut off by gasping breaths as the churched her chest , her body trembling as if she were on the verge of collapse .
She stumbled toward Torin , her legs giving way .
Torin caught her .
Then without hesitation , he turned to Stellan , his expression conflicted but resolute .
With a plea in his voice , he said , â Stellan , Ill be right back .
Let me see Elysia â just for a moment .
Please â
