Your Regrets Mean Nothing To Me -

Chapter 135
Michelle’s voice faltered as her hand instinctively retreated from Elysia’s shoulder and landed protectively on her stomach .
If she could , she would have loved to bring Elysia into her home .
But reality didn’t allow it .
Michelle couldn’t possibly afford to raise two children on her salary .
And her husband would never agree to such an arrangement
Elysia’s gaze naturally followed Michelle’s hand , landing on the slight curve of her belly .
Slowly , her vision blurred , as if veiled by a crimson haze .
The world became muted , indistinct .
Elysia knew Michelle was a kind woman , genuinely good at heart .
Elysia wanted nothing more than to live with her .
She also understood the challenges Michelle faced
Michelle had her own family to care for .
To take Elysia in would be an unfair burden .
“ C.
Congratulations , Ms.
Olson .
It’s fine , really , I’ll miss you , Elysia whispered hoarsely , forcing a weak smile .
But even as her lips curved , a tear slid down her cheek
That fragile strength and that desperate attempt to mask her pain only made Michelle’s heart twist tighter .
She rushed forward , gently brushing at the streak of red on Elysia’s face .
“ Elysia , are you hurt ! Why is there blood on your check ?
Elysia shook her head, her smile unwavering
But unseen by Michelle , her fists clenched so tightly her nails hit into her palms , a silent war against the overwhelming sorrow threatening to spill
CHICT
Michelle , reassured that it was nothing serious – likely just pain – continued softly , “ Don’t worry , Elysia .
I’ll come to visit you often .
It’s only for a year , and then you’ll be off to university .
You’ll leave home , start a new life , and chase your dreams .
Isn’t that right ? ”
get into Zedo City University ,
When Elysia looked up again , her eyes gleamed with a resolute determination .
“ Yes , Ms.
Olson .
I’ll work hard and get Then I’ll visit you
Their eyes met , lingering in the tension of the moment , until finally , Elysia broke the silence , quietly suggesting she should leave .
In the live chat , the usually lively banter was conspicuously absent .
The scene had left the audience somber , their sadness almost palpable .
[ Elysia has it so hard .
Imagine how much pain she must have endured to ask for help , only to be turned down .
And now , even the one light in her life is slipping away .
It’s heartbreaking .
]
I suddenly hate Michelle’s baby .
Couldn’t she just adopt Elysia instead ? ]
[ Be realistic .
Your own child and someone else’s are not the same .
Besides , Michelle said she’d visit Elysia , didn’t she ? Stop acting like it’s the end of the world .
Elysia seems to have moved on already .
]
But of all those caught in the storm of emotions , none were suffering more than Stellan
In the span of just an hour , his carefully guarded secrets had shattered twice over .
He’d thought he had hidden the truth well .
Little did he know , Elysia had already pieced everything together .
And there he was, blissfully ignorant , drowning in his self – righteous delusions .
The one who was pathetic was not Elysia , but Stellan ,
And then , there was the unforgivable fact that he had lost Elysia’s body .
The only thing he could be certain of was this : someone had stolen her .
He knew it because of one unshakable truth – Elysia’s mechanical heart could only prevent her body from decaying .
Until her heart was returned to her , she was utterly incapacitated .
Who could it be Stellan’s thoughts spiraled , his hands clutching his head , cold sweat pouring down his forehead .
Regret and guilt suffused his entire being .
Every memory of Elysia was a dagger to his heart , carving into him with every recollection .
He wanted to act , to make amends , and to undo his failures .
But he knew , deep down , that it was far too late .
This wasn’t a matter of days or even weeks .
It had been five years .
Five long , irreversible years .
Just as he drowned in his despair , his phone buzzed to life .
He hesitated , wanting nothing more than to ignore it .
But in the end , he answered .

hoping work might provide some fleeting distraction .
“ Dr.
Rookwood , you need to get here , now ! If you don’t , Caellan’s going to start biting people ! ” his assistant said .
In the background , Stellan could hear Caellan’s furious shouts “ Get Stellan here ! How dare he treat my Elysia like a toy ! I’m going to kill him ! ”
When Elysia finally returned to the mansion , her steps slowed .
She hovered near the door , pacing anxiously .
Olivia’s warning echoed in her mind “ Will you make it out alive this time ? ”
“ What awaited me inside ! Would it be the whip , like two years ago ? Or perhaps news that my father has finally decided to commit me to an asylum ! ” Elysia thought .
Her family was inside , yet the thought of them only deepened Elysia’s dread .
She had done everything over the past two years to avoid being
around them .
As Elysia stood hesitating by the door , familiar voices drifted from the distance .
“ Yeah .
It’s Caellan .
Took you long enough to replace him , someone said .
The footsteps grew louder .
Elysia dove into the bushes , holding her breath
Seconds later , Rowena strode into view , her phone pressed to her ear .
She didn’t notice Elysia as her focus was entirely on her call .
“ Break one of his arms – doesn’t matter which .
And blind him in one eye while you’re at it .
Then tell him Elysia – no , tell him his sister ordered it ,” Rowena said .
“ Make it convincing ,” she continued , her tone icy and calculated .
“ He has to believe you were sent to kill him but took pity on him instead .
”
Her words , each more venomous than the last , left no room for doubt .
Rowena was aiming for cruelty
When the call ended .
Rowena tilted her head back , a smug smile on her lips as she pushed the door open and disappeared inside .
She never saw Elysia , who hid hidden and trembled in the shadows .
