Chapter 72
On the screen , Rowena , visibly enraged , kicked the machine twice in frustration .
Unsurprisingly , her kicks did nothing to the cold , unyielding metal Meanwhile , the banging on the door outside grew louder , as if it would give way at any moment .
â Hmph ! Donât blame me for this , then , â Rowena muttered through gritted teeth .
âYou shouldnât have put yourself in my way by contributing your memories .
If youâre dead , they canât extract anything from you , right ? â
She clenched her fists , her gaze locking onto Elysiaâs pale , lifeless face .
The girl lying on the bed resembled a withered flower â drained of life , but still breathtakingly beautiful .
â Well , you wonât live long anyway , Rowena sneered .
â Think of it as me helping you reunite with
your mom a little sooner
Her tone took on a mockingly benevolent lit.
â Maybe Iâll even send Torin , Fenwick , Caellan , and Dad to join you .
Wouldnât that be nice ! â
Rowenaâs twisted logic seemed to soothe her .
Feeling oddly virtuous , she climbed onto the bed without hesitation .
With a final glance at the metal door , she reached out with both hands toward Flysâs delicate , porcelain â like neck .
Though the surveillance footage had no sound , Torin immediately grew tense at the sight of Rowenaâs hands .
The moment her fingers touched Elysiaâs skin , her body jerked violently as if she had been electrocuted
She froze , her eyes wide in shock , and didnât move further .
Torin , watching from the broadcast roon , could no longer contain his anxiety .
Pulling out his phone , he called Aspen to confirm Elysiaâs condition , seeking reassurance .
â Miss Drayton ? Aspen answered promptly .
â Mrs.
Drayton visted earlier , so I stepped out for a moment .
Let me check on her .
.
Aspenâs sentence was abruptly cut off by a sharp scream .
â Oh no ! Miss Drayton is gone ! â
The panicked try pierced through the phone and reverberated into the ears of everyone in the room , including the viewers watching the live
strcan
[ Wait , what ? Gone ? Rowena recovered that quickly ! Wasnât she in a coma after falling down the stairs ?!
[ Two possibilities : Either itâs a medical miracle , or she faked it
[ Unlikely to be a fake Stoneford First Hospital wouldnât lie to the family .
Itâs a public institution , and getting caught would ruin them .
I
Not anymore .
Itâs been privatized by the Rookwood Group .
Also , is this lab inside the hospital ) Wild .
]
( So this really isnât memory playback â itâs live surveillance footage .
Rowena just tried to destroy the machine , and now sheâs attempting to kill Elysla
The comments poured in each more Frantic than the last .
Torinâs heart raced with every passing second .
When his eyes landed on the words â kill Elysia , â he bolted from his seat and dashed for the door.
â Stay calm ,â Fenwick tried to reason .
â Maybe Mom transferred Rowena to another hospital .
Look , she hasnât actually done anything to harm Elysia .
But Torin , already at the door , lashed out
â Calm â Did you even see that ? Your precious Rowena is threatening our sisterâs life .
Let me go ! â
He shoved Fenwick aside and stormed out , his phone still streaming the live footage to track any developments .
Left on the floor , Fenwickâs expression turned vacant .
Did Torin mean he no longer considered Rowena his sister ?!
Meanwhile , the audience , as well as Caellan , remained glued to the screen .
His gaze was sharp and filled with tension
â Could Rowenareally be trying to kill Elysia ? Callan thought .
At the hospital , Rowenaâs confidence shattered the instant her fingers brushed against Elysiaâs cold skin .
Her breath hitched as she fumbled to check for a pulse , then for a heartbeat .
Not a single sign of life .
Chapter 72
Elysta was already dead .
Rowena shrieked , leaping off the bed as if barned .
Her face contorted into a mask of fear and fury as she pointed a trembling anger at the lifeless body
Rowena shouted , â You ⦠youâre dead Youâve been dead this whole time ! How dare you trick me , Elysia ! â
It was only then that Rowena remembered to check this laboratory .
She looked up .
As expected , it was a large and shiny surveillance camera ,
