Chapter 26
The screen suddenly erupted with a burst of comments .
FandomFreak 23 : ( A drug to ruin his future ! So , does this mean that Fenwick is no longer fertile !
StarCazer90 : Donât say that With todayâs medical advancements , thereâs no way Fenwick would actually end up like that !
MoonlightLover [ Well , even if Fenwick was like that , weâd still love him .
Even if he were disabled , weâd never leave ! ]
DramaQueensLife : Hey , quick question â can we , as early viewers , post about this on Twitter ? The headline : â Fenwickâs Fertility Lost , Revenge Taken on Sister ]
â Absolutely not ! â
â Of course you can
Two voices spokes
simultaneously â one furious , belonging to Fenwick , and the other calm , from the host , Stellan
Fenwick shot an angry glare at Stellan , then puded his chest and declared , â I never
actually took the drug Elysia supposedly gave me .
It was Rowena who wamed me just in time and saved my future ?â
Among the Drayton family , only Callan looked utterly confused â he had only been nine years old at the time , so no one bothered to expose it to
Torinâs eyes filled with a mixture of pain and sorrow as he looked at his father on the screen-
He questioned with restrained anger , â Elysia had just returned home back then .
Dad , how could you let two strangers , who were completely unfamiliar to her , pick her up ? If you were busy , you could have
â Could have what ? Asked you to go Rupert interrupted with a dismissive tone .
â You were the first person I called .
And what did you say ?
â You said you needed to prepare for your Scholastic Assessment Test and then headed to the library â
Torinâs usually stern and composed expression seemed to shatter like a blade had slashed through his facade , leaving a deep emotional wound .
His thoughts whirled in a storm of regel
I shouldnât have done that Torinâs thoughts spiraled into regret 1 shouldnât have refused to bring Lysia home
He remembered how , if he hadnât gone to the library that day , perhaps things would have turned out differently .
Maybe Elysia , unhurt by Rupertâs and Fenwickâs neglect , would still be the kind â hearted girl she once was .
FanGirl89 : [ Donât be upset , Torin ! Your exum was way more important , and you did nothing wrong ! Your dad was irresponsible â that was his daughter , for crying out loud ]
Bookworm20 [ Exactly ! Anyone could have picked her up ! II
WhisperingTrush : [ But quick question , want Turin guaranteed admission to Stoneford University ? What was he even preparing for ? )
â Yeah , Torin , you didnât have to take any exams , Fenwick interjected , seizing the moment .
â So you probably never intended to pick up Elysia
â You even hid in the library just to avoid seeing her .
This makes you worse than Dad .
At least he was genuinely busy !
Fenwick wanted payback for Torin airing his dirty laundry earlier the incident with the drug .
He couldnât predict how the media might twist his words now .
What was said casually hit Torin hard .
His already pale face turned ghostly white , heads of sweat gathering on has forehead .
It was the first time Fenwick had seen his usually composed older brother look so defeated
â Alright , Torin .
Stop blaming yourself .
If Elysia reacted so poorly to a bit of mistreatment , then it just proves :
s the wasnât that innocent , Fenwick
â Our family gave her far more than that shabby village she came from ,â he added .
Turinâs brow furrowed , and he scared at Fenwick in disbelief .
â How can you compare the way those human traffickers treated Elysia to how she was treated at home? Have you ever seen her room ? â
Torin was ready to show him the evidence â photos of her room â when Fenwick interrupted , â Of course Iâve seen it .
I handpicked it to match her
so â called habits .

Chapter 26
Fenwick had chosen that room for her ! Torin thought , stunned .
Fenwick seemed too proud of it , his chest puffed out .
The intemet fans had no idea , showering praise on him
Pink Bunny23 : Sure , it was wrong of him to kick Elysia earlier , but she did walk into the wrong room .
Now that heâs picked a new room for her , itâs a way of making up for it .
]
AngelWings : Right , heâs already apologized .
Why canât that vite wo
woman just let it go ? ]
Torin had nothing more to say .
He pulled out his phone and displayed the room photos on the screen .
Fenwick glanced at the screen , his smug grin Ending as the photos loaded .
The room was barely large enough for a single bed , with peeling wallpaper and a flickering lightbulb
Instantly , the lively stream chat went dead silent , only to explode again with a barrage of condemnation aimed at Fenwick
UrbanChic : [ Wow , I was expecting a princessâs dream room .
What a leidowm
PeLovers ? [ This room isnât even fit for my dog .
I suggest you experience it firsthand , Fenwick ]
The snug look vanished from Fenwickâs face as he glanced away from the tiny , shabby room in disgust .
He hastily defended himself .
Thatâs what Elysia asked for I never saw it myself , but I heard â
His words faltered halfway
He suddenly remembered that it was Rowena , fresh from the hospital , who had come to him ten years ago , claiming that Elysta was more comfortable with small , rustic spaces .
So , he had instracted the buder to choose the smallest room for her
He had never seen it with his own eyes , nor did he hear any wishes from Elysia herself .
â No , impossible .
Rowena wouldnât deceive must be lys playing tricks again he thought .
â Alright , everyone , enough arguing .
That day maybe we did misjudge Elysia Rupert , the head of the family , cut in with an air of finality .
â The doctor who saw Rowena back them didnât find anything wrong , but I refused to listen .
â I was stubborn , and it broke Elysiaâs heart.
Once she returns , Fll apologize personally .
But only if she promises to stay at least fifteen feet away from Koveiti â III still acknowledge her as my daughter .
â
She couldnât even come back , Stellan thought .
He chuckled , a sound that seemed to send chills down everyoneâs spline .
He stopped laughing only when all eyes were on hum , then waved his band with a mock â apologetic grin .
â Sorry .
1 just heard the funniest joke â
JustAnotherUser : [ Yeah , thatâs hilarious â staying fifteen feet away from Rowena â What kind of demand is that ! f ]
CoffeeAddict : ( At the end of the day , itâs Elysiaâs own fault .
She drugged Fenwick .
No wonder Fenwickâs been detached this whole time â I wouldnât want to see her either !
Rowenalan42 : [ Elysia must have hurt Rowena pretty badly if Rupert doesnât want her near Rowena ! Not to mention , Rowenaâs still in the hospital .
â Oh my , itâs getting dark , â Stellan commented as he looked out the window at the darkening sky .
They were nearly at the highest point in Stoneford , and the view from the window was stunning â a sea of city lights , twinkling like a field of stars
â Looks like Fenwick and Caellan are eager to get home and reunite with their parents , Stellan observed .
Carllan glared at him and replied firmly , â Of courset Letâs go , Torin , Fenwick â Rower is still waiting for us at the hospital !
Without another word , Stellan turned back to the viewers .
â Well , thatâs it for tonightâs stream ?
Live Fanatic : Nooo ! I havenât had enough yet ! I was just getting into it !
Heartthrobeam I still want to see more of our handsome Fenwick !
Loyal Follower : Whenâs the next streand ? Iâll be waiting ! If I donât see Elysia take revenge .
I might just start defending her online ! ]
Rowena Forever II donât care what happens â 1 have zero sympathy left for Rowena from now on
GossipGuru [ Donât get too confident .
Rowenaâs kindness is well known to everyone whoâs seen her grow up .
Unlike Elysia , whoâs just a bitch .
