Chapter 89
Elysia lived under the same roof as them and took the same exam on the same day as Rowena .
But on that day , the entire Drayton family only saw Rowena off to the exam , offering her encouragement and warmth .
Their real sister , on the other hand , had curled up in this small corner because of illness and sleeping medication , abandoned and forgotten by them .
Torinâs tears flowed uncontrollably again , streaming down his face in torrents .
He said , â Rowena lied to me again .
She lied to me again !
â At that time , I didnât see Elysia .
I asked about her , but Rowena said Elysia woke up early and went alone .
The driver went with her .
Thatâs when we decided to all go together and see Rowena off to the exam .
â
Torin , who had always maintained a good demeanor , once again lost his composure in front of a billion people .
The way he accused Rowena made him look like a lunatic .
But no one cared anymore .
Netizens had gotten used to Torin pushing the blame onto Rowena every time , just talking without taking action , and being the first one to claim that he was not at fault when something happened .
He was not as genuine as Caellan .
[ Whoa , whoa , whoa ! This guy is finally not arrogant anymore .
Whereâs the fire you had when you scolded Elysia two days ago ? And what about the affectionate form of address toward Rowena ? How come your good sister Rowena hasnât come to save you ? ]
[ This dude really went all out .
He wouldnât actually get a demerit , right ? I didnât expect Elysia to have such crazy fans .
For a moment , Iâm not sure whether I should be happy or worried .
]
[ Whatâs with your worry ? Didnât you see Caellan taking it willingly ? Even if the teacher comes ⦠Damn , the teacher really is here ! Brat , youâre on your own now .
Itâs not that I donât want to help .
I just canât help .
]
Ruby had long been frightened by this scene and hid at the side , afraid of getting dragged into trouble .
It was not until the moment she saw Emma , who was the class teacher , that she immediately ran over and hid behind this powerful woman , instantly feeling a sense of security .
â Stop it right now ! You keep fighting .
Want to end up in jail , huh ? â Emma yelled , her voice sharp with fury .
When he still wouldnât stop , she stormed forward , grabbed the boyâs ear , and yanked him back .
That finally got the two of them apart .
The boy who hit Caellan immediately wailed loudly and said , â Ouch ⦠Miss Harris , please go easy ! â
Meanwhile , Caellan , who had been beaten to the floor by that male student , was bruised and swollen .
He could not get up no matter how hard he tried .
He was still calling out intermittently , â M â Miss ⦠â
Emma was just starting to feel proud that Caellan was finally showing some respect to his teacher , when he suddenly snapped , â Get lost , old lady ! Mind your own business .
â He flinched and added with a loud cry , â Damn it , that hurts ! â
The viewers did not know what had happened .
They only heard a scream and lost Caellanâs livestream feed .
Without Caellan on the screen , everyone directed their gazes back to the screen .
In the end , it was the schoolâs medical teacher who drove Elysia to school , repeatedly comforting her in the car ,
â Donât worry , â she said gently .
â Itâs just one subject .
Youâre still in good shape ! And even if Ridgewood doesnât work out , there are plenty of great schools in Stoneford .
Youâll find the right fit â I know you will .
I believe in you .
â
Upon hearing this remark , Elysia quickly looked up at the teacher in the driverâs seat , her expression showing surprise ,
But soon , she quickly lowered her eyelids, seemingly thinking of something unpleasant .
Forcefully suppressing her inner pain , she responded to her teacher with a smile .

She said nothing .
Perhaps she did not know how to respond .
Even she did not trust herself anymore .
All she could do was try her best not to let others worry about her .
However , the teacher mistook her silence for a lack of confidence and continued to comfort her , saying , â Itâs okay even if you canât get in .
You can try again next year , right ?
â Donât worry , itâs not your fault .
Youâve suddenly come down with a fever , which happens sometimes .
After the exam , drop by my infirmary so I can check your temperature again .
If you still donât feel well enough , we can discuss skipping the exam for now and figuring out another solution .
â
Elysia instinctively shook her head and said , â No ⦠Itâs all my fault .
If I hadnât been drenched in the rain yesterday , I might not have had a fever .
â
Even she believed it was the fever that caused her to oversleep , never considering that it was because of those gummies .
The teacher frowned and said again , â Itâs not your fault .
You just need to have a proper talk with your family .
Repeating a year isnât the end of the world .
â I donât know whatâs going on with your brother .
I called him the other day , told him to check in on you more , but now this happens .
And today â I canât even get a hold of him .
â
Elysia looked up in surprise as if she had been jolted by electricity .
Right after that , she repeated the teacherâs words with a trembling voice , asking , â The other day ? Ms.
Olson , when was this â other day â you mentioned ? â
Michelle Olson hadnât expected to let it slip while speaking .
After all , Elysia had always refused to let Michelle meet her family .
It was only after approaching her class teacher that she learned Elysia had a younger sister in her class and that Elysia was an illegitimate child .
So , when she saw the room Elysia lived in , she had already somewhat anticipated it .
She thought , â No matter how one looks at it , this background doesnât sound nice .
Itâs no wonder sheâs been bullied at school , with her family not caring .
But her background was not something she can choose .
At this point , Michelle felt that there was no need to hide anything anymore , so she became frank .
â Werenât you absent for a few days last week ? â she said .
â I couldnât hold back and went to ask your sister for your familyâs contact information .
I didnât expect that sheâd give me your brotherâs number , so I ended up telling him about some of the things that had happened to you at school .
â
Elysiaâs face instantly turned pale after hearing these words , and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead , even more than when she had a fever .
She thought , â Ms.
Olson went to look for Rowena ⦠and Torin .
â What exactly would they say to her ? Would they say that I bullied Rowena ⦠that I went to the hospital for an abortion , that I have bad character and steal things , that Iâm ungrateful and sued my foster mother ? â
Elysia bit her lips tightly , her heart filled with fear and uneasiness .
She did not dare to imagine what would happen if Michelle also believed those rumors , yet she couldnât help but let her thoughts run wild .
She thought , â Would Ms.
Olson hate me ? Would she distance herself from me like they did ? But why ⦠why do they always want to impose baseless accusations on me ? Why did they want to destroy the last bit of warmth I have ?
Could it be that Iâm fated to be hated by everyone , and those who love me are fated to drift away from me ? Then Iâd rather ⦠never have received
this warmth .
Just as Elysia was about to break her fingernails , Michelle seemed to have guessed what she was thinking .
She said , â Donât worry .
Iâve always been on your side .
I believe that such a well â behaved child like you wouldnât get pregnant out of wedlock , let alone at just sixteen .
These rumors are truly outrageous , right ? â
Elysia was instantly stunned .
This was the first time someone had sided with her firmly and told her , â I believe you didnât do that â
Perhaps it was because Elysia had been silent for too long that Michelle glanced sideways at her and exclaimed in shock , â Hey ! Whatâs wrong with your nails ? Youâve picked them until theyâre all broken .
There are band â aids inside the compartment in front of your seat .
Iâm driving , so put it on yourself .
â
â Sure .
Thank you , Ms.
Olson , â Elysia replied .
Despite her injury , she couldnât hide her childlike excitement , her voice bursting with uncontainable
joy .
Elysia , despite her injury , was so happy that she seemed like a child , her words involuntarily filled with joy .

This spread to a large number of viewers in the livestream , who expressed their views one after another .
[ Not only is this female teacher beautiful , but sheâs also kind â hearted ! Sheâs simply worthy of being worshipped ! ]
[ Elysia has finally found the light at the end of the tunnel ⦠Ms.
Olson , are you watching the livestream with Elysia now ? I want to confess to you .
Youâre my goddess ! ]
[ This is the first time Iâve seen someone not influenced by Rowena and believe in Elysia after watching the livestream for so long .
Ms.
Olson , hurry up and start your livestream , I want to send you gifts .
]
[ Iâm not trying to say anything negative , but can people believe so quickly something as shocking as a 16 â year â old girl getting pregnant ? This female teacher only did what most people would do , but what really shocked me is that she personally went to Elysiaâs home to take her to school for the exam .
]
Torin thought , Yeah .
This was such explosive news .
How come weâre so sure that what Rowena said was true without even investigating ? â
He just stopped crying but found tears welling up again uncontrollably .
Fenwick , on the other hand , became the â outsider â of this incident , but he did not stay out of it .
His expression was equally sorrowful .
He thought , â At least Torin personally went to the hospital to bring her back , but I didnât do anything for Elysia , and I was even one of the instigators of all the suffering she endured .
Looking at Elysia , who was smiling so happily on the screen , Fenwick felt a surge of jealousy once again .
He wished so much that Elysia would smile at him like that too .
