Chapter 70
Without a second thought , Elysia grabbed the bottle and made her way to Caellanâs room .
If not for her extraordinary self â healing abilities , her wounds would have already ruptured and festered beyond repair .
â Carllan , be good .
I brought you a treat â a yummy chocolate drop .
Try
y it , she coaxed .
At eleven .
Caellan could never refuse his favorite sister .
He popped it into his mouth without hesitation .
It wasnât exactly sweet , but it wasnât bitter
cither .
Perhaps because the poison had been in his system for too long .
Caellan didnât feel any immediate effects .
â Elysia ⦠I feel a bit hot
hr
murmured .
Elysia placed her hand on his forehead , her expression unreadable .
She spoke briefly to Aspen outside the room and left .
The screen went dark .
In the viewing room , the older Caellan sat frozen in disbelief , repeating to himself .
â So thatâs how it happened ⦠She tricked me into eating it
The girl next to him smacked him on the back of his head before darting off .
As she ran , she shouted , â It was a white lie , you idiot ! Without her , youâd be blind for the rest of your life ! â
The online audience chimed in as well .
Exactly .
Elysia is amazing .
Not only does she have incredible abilites â self â healing , high intelligence , and now the power to neutralize poisons- but sheâs also so kind .
A true heroine .
Too bad her life is so tragic ]
[ Elysiaâs life is like a trial by fire .
Itâs as if the universe gave her these awful relatives to force her to sever all ties and ascend to godhood .
]
[ Youâve been watching too many fantasy dramas .
Instead of becoming a deity , someone like her should be serving the nation as a treasure .
Dying at the hands of her so â called family would be a crime .
I
â Such awful relatives ⦠Torinâs face burned with shame .
How could someone as incredible as Elysia end up with family like us ?
But it wasnât too late .
He could still make things right .
He wouldnât let Elysia face any more danger , nor would he let her endure another moment of hardship
She deserved a life of happiness as the cherished daughter and sister of the Drayton familly , nothing less .
Meanwhile , the screen remained black , prompting questions from the audience .
Is the stream over ? We still donât know who poisoned him !
[ Reasonable guess : Rowena .
Didnât she want Caellan dead before ? Bet if Callan sees this , heâll jump to defend her .
I
[ Right ? Heâs probably fuming and munering , â It wasnât Rowena ! â right now .
]
Sure enough , Caellan yelled .
It wasnât Rowenal She would never do that to me .
We share the same mother â why would she hurt her own brother ? â
His denial was cut short when Rowenaâs voice rang out from the screen , cold and unrepentant .
â Yes , I poisoned him .
I blinded Caellan .
So what ? Do you have proof ? â
Silence blanketed the room
The scene transitioned to a hospital corridor , where Rowena stood next to Elysia , her head held high and her tone dripping with arrogance .
She showed no remorse for her confession , instead snapping at Elysia , â Did you cure him ? Using that freakish blood of yours again ! â
Rowenaâs words made Elysiaâs stomach churn.
The younger girlâs actions and attitude never ceased to shock her .
â Callan is your brother , Elysia said , her voice shaking with disbelief .
â How could you hurt him ! Wouldnât your mother be heartbroken ? â
Rowena sneered , placing her hands on her hips .
â Are you stupid ? Heâs not your motherâs child , so why do you care ? â
â Honestly , I wanted him dead .
If you hadnât shown up to save him , my mom would have only had me left .
She wouldnât keep thinking about kicking me out .
I wouldnât have to waste my time playing nice with those stupid fathers and brothers â
Her voice grew angrier , and she shoved Elysia hard .
But B Elysia caught her wrist effortlessly .
â Stop hurting people , Elysia pleaded .
â Callan , Torin , Fenwick , even Dad â they all adore you
