Chapter 82
Everyone watching held their breath in fear and horror , their minds swirling with one pressing question , â Why did Rowena have the knife ?â
Back on screen , Elysia shared their confusion .
Looking at Rowena , who was holding a gleaming fruit knife and wearing a sinister expression .
Elysia couldnât help but ask , â What are you trying to do ? Didnât you say you wanted to give Torin his medicine ? Iâm already tied up â 1 canât call for help .
Just go.
â
But Rowena didnât move .
Instead , she lightly waved the knife in the air , its sharp edge catching the dim light .
Then , with a chilling smile creeping across her face , she said , â Iâve changed my mind .
Your blood is amazing , isnât it ? Remember when that snake bit me ! One sip from you , and the poison was gone .
And Chellan â no doctor in all of Fuvre could cure his eyes , but you gave him a little â chocolate and fixed everything .
â So , why not try it again ! Letâs see if your blood can cure Torinâs fever , shall we ?
[ Wait ⦠the â miracle blood â was Elysiaâs all along ?
[ Rowena never ceases to amaze me â everything good that happens around her was stolen from Elysia .
Im officially hunting down her remaining fans .
]
[ You mean Fenwick , right ! ]
Fenwickâs heart skipped a heat as he instinctively glanced at Torin .
But To even a glance .
i sát as still as a statue , his gaze fixed on the screen , not sparing Fenwick
Hearing Rowenaâs twisted suggestion , Elysia , surprisingly , seemed to calm down .
She took a deep breath and responded , steady and composed , â Alright .
If you think my blood is so useful , then go ahead and take it ?
Rowena was caught off guard by Elysiaâs sudden compliance .
She stood there , stunned , as Elysia slackened her wrists , closed her eyes , and presented herself as if ready for sacrifice .
Frustrated and annoyed , Rowena stamped her foot , gripping the knife tightly .
â Fine ! You want to play the hero ? This time , Iâll make sure you succeed
Everyone assumed Rowena would make a small cut on Elysiaâs wrist to draw blood .
But Torinâs reaction told a different story .
His eyes widened in terror , and he forgot to even blink as he stared at the screen .
He seemed to anticipate what would come next .
The fruit knife didnât just hover over Elysiaâs wrist .
Rowena brought it straight toward Elysiaâs chest , aiming for her
r heart .
Luckily , there was still a thick layer of bandages over her chest , and Rowenaâs strength wasnât enough to pierce through .
The blade only nicked her clothing .
â You you werenât going for my blood , were you ? You were trying to kill met Elysiaâs voice trembled as she opened her eyes and saw the blade just inches away from her chest .
Rowena chuckled darkly .
â Normal blood is boring .
Of course , I want heartâs blood .
Think about it â when Torin finds out 1 bled for him , sacrificed my flesh to make medicine to cure him , heâll be indebted to me for life .
Isnât that perfect ! â
With a wicked grin , she tilted the blade upward .
â No ! Please donât ! â
Elysia began to thrash violently , but the ropes binding her didnât budge .
She could only watch in horror as Rowenaâs hand reached for her neckline , pulling it open .
The knife hovered over the bandaged area just beneath her collarbone â the exact spot in the bloodstained photo Torin had seen .
Elysiaâs scream ripped through the room .
Despite her remarkable endurance , she was still just a sixteen â year â old girl .
No one
could stay stole through such pain â least of all when the knife began cutting into her skin .
â Stop ⦠please , Rowena .
.
it hurts â¦.
Elysiaâs tears flowed uncontrollably , but these were no ordinary tears .
The droplets of red streaked down her pale checks .
It was as if a porcelain doll

had cracked , beautiful even in its brokenness .
Rowena , her face splattered with Elysiaâs blood , seemed only to grow more excited .
Her grin widened as she mockingly said , â Oh , you cry too ? Of course , you do .
But youâre a monster , so even your tears are weird .
â
Elysia eventually stopped crying altogether , biting down hard on her lip to keep from making another sound .
Her entire body trembled from the unbearable pain , her hands gripping the chair so tightly that her nails dug into the wood .
The viewers couldnât take it anymore .
Almost unanimously , they tore off their VR headsets .
