Chapter 79
In the viewing hall , Torm had already hung his head in shame , unable to continuer watching his past misconduct or the increasingly brutal barrage of comments flooding the livestream .
His dejected and lost expression , paired wo
with his strikingly handsome features , quickly rek
rekindled the sympathy of some fans
Stop it , everyone ! Boss couldnât have known about Flysiaâs insane self â healing ability .
His reaction was just what any normal person would have .
Are you serious ! Fine , he can doubt that Elysia healeil from a stab wound , but what about the other accusation ? Is this how a â normal â brother reacts to hearing his sister might be pregnant ! ]
[ Ugh , Hoss looks like heâs about in cry .
If Elysia wanted to prove herself , couldnât she have just stabbed herself again in front of him ? That way , Tomm wouldâve had to believe her instead of trusting Rowena .
]
[ Thatâs twisted ]
On the screen , Elysia didnât rush to pick up the scattered X â ray flims in the car .
Instead , through choked sobs , she tried to explain .
â I just ⦠I heal faster than most people .
Torin , if you donât bebeve me , we can ask the doctor .
Please , letâs go ask the doctor .
I swear I didnât do anything wrong .
You can ask my teachers and classmates â theyâll tell you ⦠â
But Torin , his expression a mix of doubt and annoyance , stayed silent .
Without responding , he pressed the gas pedal , accelerating sharply
Elysia , who had barely ever been in a car , gripped the leather seat instinctively , her lips pressed tightly together as heads of cold sweat formed on
her forehead from fear
That fear seemed to morph into another emotion â one that traveled through the shared connection of the livestream , transmitting the poin directly to the audience .
In the viewing hall , Torin and Fenwick suddenly clutched their chests in pain , dropping to one knee as they gritted their teeth , staring at the screen
Elysia , however , remained outwardly calan
The 10 â year â old girl endured a pain so excruciating that two grown men couldnât handle it
As the two men grappled with their confusion .
Elysiaâs body began to tremble
She chatched her chest tightly , her pain escalating even further .
The livestream chat erupted .
[ Iâve turned the sensory intensity down to just 15 , and they still had to take their VR glasses off because they couldnât handle the pain .
This is incredible
[ Iâm amazed too .
The pain is unbearable , but you can feel exactly what the protagonist is experiencing ]
Unlike the audience , who could adjust their VR settings , Torin and Fenwick had no such luxury .
Writhing on the floor , they could only endure the agony as Elysia clutched her chest on the screen .
mauch
Finally , unable to bear it any longer , she pleaded , â Turin , letâs not go home .
Letâs go to the hospital , please .
My heart hurts so
And Torin said , â Enough , Elysia .
Stop pretending , will you ? Youâre a ninth â grader .
Your peers are already in high school , but youâre still in middle school .
Do you want to be held back ? This is your last week to study .
If you can at least stop being dead last , we can ensure you get into some high
Has tone was gentle , but every word was like a needle , piercing Elysias already fragile heart .
The pain spread , doubling in intensity
The air grew heavy .
The space fell silent .
Elysia said nothing â not because she didnât want to defend herself , but because the pain was too overwhelming .
The scene quickly transitioned , giving dine time for reflection .
As the pain subsided .
Fenwick straightened up , finally catching his breathi
Just as far was about to mock Torin for his behavior , he noticed Torin was still bunched over , repeatedly pounding his chest with his fist , muttering

under his breath .
â Iâm sorry Elysia , I hurt you again .
I was wrongâ
For once .
Fenwick didnât offer comfort .
bostead , he spoke with biting sarcasm .
â If you chose to believe Howena , then why bother giving Elysia hoje ! Why let her think you cared about her , remembered her , or even pretended to
to care abosit her educatum ? Youâre just a hypocrite â
Torin glared at him , his bloodshot eyes brimming with exhaustion and regret .
His swollen , red â runed eyes suggested he had cried â or hadnât kept all night
Through clenched teeth , he hissed .
â At least Iâm better than a blind fool like you.
Those who had been defending Torin just moments ago seensed sitterly silenced by the sharpness in his gaze .
They fell into uneasy silence , as though struck dumb by the force of his anger .
The audience empted once more .
Both of you are terrible .
Elysia hit the jackpot with this family â absolutely cursed .
Sheâs spent her lite shickling them from Rowenaâs schemes , and this is what she gets in retur â I
[ Exactly .
Elysia saved their asses countless times , and all she got was a bunch of ungrateful jerks Classis â Tarmer all the stake situation .
I
I hope karma catches up with these tools .
Til trade my acne just to see Torin Fall seriously ill .
I
I hope to see Rowena suffer I
[ I hope to curse Fenwick .
]
As if on que , a servant rushed downstairs and grabbed the phone in the living room , dialing the Lamily doctor .
â Dr.
Darwins Cummings ! Torin has a fever .
Please come quickly .
â
â What ? Heâs actually sick ? Uh .
I mean , Iâll be right over â Darwin said .
Since Rowenaâs â frequent injuries â had become routine , the Drayton family host hired a doctor on retainer .
For Darwin , these visits were easy money , requiring linke effort .
Heâd been happy to treat Rowenâs â accidents for as long as theyâil last ,
But hearing that Torin was genuinely ill dampened his spirits â not because it would take more effort , but because
He didnât know how to treat actual illnesses
The livestream audience , of course , had no idea about the doctorâs incompetence , but the news of Torinâs fever was enough to send them into firs of laughter .
Serves him right Thatâs karma for slandering Elysia .
Totally deserved I
LOL .
looks like my acne curse worked .
Bye â bye pimples , hello Torinâs Fever I
Hearing the commotion , Torinâs expression shifted .
Fenwick , standing nearby , chimed in .
â Donât forget .
It was Rowena who took care of you when you were sick .
She even made you medicine , â
Torin , however , seemed unbothered by the comment , but the chat w
wasn
Medicine made from blood : What kind of quackery is this ? Can I get some to cure my chronic arthritisti
[ Please No legitimate doctor would prescribe that .
Rowena probably staged the whole thing to gain sympathy or quils â uip Torin .
]
[ Now that you mention it , I remember something Yesterday , outside the lab , wasnât it the same ? Rowena was crying and showed Torin something .
and he instantly changed his expression and took her to the doctor
Torin sneered , his lips curling into a mocking smile .
â She was perfectly fine yesterday .
Nothing wrong with her .
â
Adhering to the principle of keeping family matters private , Torin hadnât wanted to say anything further .
But Rowena was no longer part of his family .
As for the incident involving the blood , his choice to send Rowena to the hospital instead of staying to check on Elysia , and his decision not to .
report Rowena to the authorities despite everything sheâd done â be considered it enough to blance the scales .
Just as everyone in the livestream began ridiculing Torin for believing Rowenaâs lies , the footage shifted again .
A doctor was seen standing at the doorway , speaking to Rowena .

â Itâs already 90 degrees .
Iâd be best to take him to the hospital for an injection , or else .
I really canât do much .
Miss Drayton , the doctor adviser ) .
Rowena scoffed , her expression impatient .
â No need .
If you canât treat him , just make something up â prescribe some medicine or something Thatâs what you always do anyway .
Just give him some cough syrup â
The doctor looked horrified .
â Thatâs completely different Heâs almost at 100 degrees If you donât take him to the hospital and his fever worsens , he might suffer brain damage ! â
Rowenaâs eyes widened with surprise at those words , but instead of concerts , she exclaimed , rain damage ? Wonderful ? â
Why are you so scared ! Mom and Dad arenât here , Fenwick is off filmsing in another city , and Cellan is sleeping like a log .
Iâm in charge of the
house .
â Get lost and stop wasting my time .
I need to go prepare hot medicine for Torin to scald him in death .
