Chapter 78

Back to the fovestream , no one knew how long Flyssa had been nervously waiting outside the hospital , but the familiar black luxury car finally padled up in front of her .

“Viet in ” Torin vast , rolling down the window and tapping the passenger seat .

Elyssa , who had rarely – it – ever – been in a Drayton family car , let alone Torn’s , felt her licari pounding erratically

The intense heartbeat tugged painfully at her still – healing wound , towing her to gut her teeth and steady her breathing before carefully opening the car door and sliding into the seat

But her inexperience betrayed

ed her , and Torm couldst holl back a temark .

“ Put on your seatbel , ” he reminded her , his our Lives with impatiener .

Elysia fumbled awkwardly with the seatbelt , unable to pull it hisse .

“ Torin , the seatbelt ist …

Torin reached over to fasten it for her , his brows fumowed in irritation .

As he leaned back , his gaze belly lingered on her face , and for a moment ,

be hesitatel

Has Hysia always been this fair ? This delicate ? No , it must be makeup , form thought

Cleaning his thoughts , Torin frowned and , with a hint of sarcasm , asked .

“ What’s the dead ! Never been in the family car before ? Or did the driver never take you to school ? Don’t tell me you don’t even know how to pull a seatbelt properly .

Or is this just another one of your little tricks ? ”

Flysa’s face turned ghostly pale at the accusation .

She quickly explaincil .

Tin not lying , I really haven’t been in the car before .

.

But Torin let out a cold laigh , outing her of wnhout so much as a glance .

The house is ten kilometers from school .

Your expect me to believe you walked there every day ! The Lundly assigned drivers – slon’t tell me the chauffeur vady picked up Rowena ”

The livestream chat erupted .

( What the hell , Torm ? If you c

can’t say anything nice , just shut up .

The tests is staring you in the lace your sister walked miles to school every day while your stepsister rode in luxury I

10 miles no wonder Elysa was late on her first day of school What’s Rowena’s excuse , though ! She had a driver and still managed to be late ! )

[ So much for thinking Torin might finally have a conscience .

He’s still looking slowerum Elysia at his cure .

)

Seemingly realizing something , Torin softened his tone , trying to change the subject .

The placement test is next week .

How’s your preparation

going

His clumsy attempt at a topic shift left Elysia momentarily stunned .

Whatever explanation she haill been about to give , she swallowed it down

‘ ve prepared … ” she replied , her voice trailing off .

Then , as if remembering something crucial , she abruptly added .

“ Torin , thank

k you for the money .

I’ve been in the hospital these past few days because I was injured .

I didn’t do anything irresponsible , nor anything Rowena said .

”

She hesitated before consuming , her tone growing more urgent .

“ Rowena lied about everything .

I didn’t get pregnant , and I didn’t have an abortion .

I even brought the doctor’s scans and receipts

pts to prove it ”

She reached into her bag to retrieve an X – ray image .

Despite Elysia’s earnestness , Torin remained silent .

The atmosphere in the car grew heavy and орре

Seeing that Torin didn’t stop the car , she clutches the evidence tightly , prepa

prepared to show it to him as soon as they parked .

She believed that once Torn saw the X – ray , he would believe her , Rowena’s lies would crumble , and perhaps – just perhaps – Torin might even feel a pang of puli

However , as the car paused at a red light , Turin seized the monent Swilly , he snatched the X – ray from Elysia’s hands .

d at a red light , Turin seized the moment .

A knife appeared on the scan , its twisted blade embedded deep within the chest cavity , dangerously close to the heart .

“ What the hell is this Tom barely glanced at the image before tossing it aside as if it were something repulsive .

“ Elysia , do you think Tin stupid ! Are you seriously telling me someone stalibed yout Near your heart , no less ? And somehow , after only four days .

Elysia’s eyes widened in disbelief .

She hadn’t expected this response .

How could she explain ? Was this truth truly more absurd than the lie about her getting an abortion ?

“ But I’m only sixteen .

Torin ! How could I possibly .

Her voice broke , tinged with tears , as she pleaded , “ How could I have gotten an abortion ? ”

The livestream chat boiled over .

I can’t take this anymore .

Torn would rather believe has sister had an abortion than that she was injured ? What kind d of brother is this ? ]

What’s more ridiculous is his reaction to the supposed abortion Shouldn’t his first thought have been to track down the guy responsible and beat him up ‘ Instead , he chooses to insult his sister .

Unbelievable I

[ Torin doesn’t deserve to be a brother .

If Elysia were my sister ,

remy her with “ be more self – respecting “ ]

Ed protect her no matter what .

Even if the made mistakes , I’d guide her – not slap

[ Oh my god , is this real ? This poor girl was stabbed , and her brother still assumes she got an abortion ? ]
