Your Regrets Mean Nothing To Me
Chapter 43

Chapter 43 

Rowena tiptoed out of the room , carefully closing the door behind her .

The camera angle shifted back to Elysia .

Torin’s previously numbed expression sharpened into focus , unwilling to miss a single detail .

The rain on the screen had lessened considerably – no more thunder , just the rhythmic patter of raindrops .

Yet , Elysia remained curled up in front of the front door , lifeless , as if she had been swallowed by the storm .

If not for the faint rise and fall of her chest , one might think she’d succumbed to the downpour .

Thank goodness she hadn’t .

Their kindhearted little sister was still alive .

Surely fate wouldn’t be cruel enough to take her away .

She was meant to live .

But something strange caught their attention .

On the ornate black wooden door of the villa , a strange liquid seemed to be dripping .

Looking closer , they noticed Elysia’s hands , her fingertips pressing against the door , seemingly smeared with rain – like droplets .

‘ Could it be the rain she’d left behind while knocking ? ‘ Torin thought .

But no one inside had responded to her knocking .

The sound had been drowned out by the thunder .

That must have been why .

Torin comforted himself with this thought .

It was as if the fate wanted to give them clarity , for at that moment , the storm clouds parted , and a ray of sunlight pierced the sky .

And then they saw it .

The liquid on the door and her fingertips wasn’t rain .

It was crimson , stark , unmistakable blood .

Elysia , during the thunderstorm , had been knocking desperately – no , pounding – on the door .

But after getting no response for so long and terrified by the thunder , she’d resorted to clawing at the door with her fingers , scratching until her hands were soaked in blood , leaving smears on the door .

Torin had no more excuses to comfort himself .

Combined with Rowena’s earlier remarks , he could already predict the unfolding events .

Just like before , it would all turn out to be another misunderstanding .

Another damn misunderstanding .

For twenty years , he’d misunderstood Elysia because of the kidnapping .

For another ten years , he’d misjudged her due to the accusations that followed .

Torin couldn’t bear to think any further .

He had to address what was happening now .

Right now .

The moment he made up his mind , he leaned toward the camera and said , “ Elysia , are you watching ? I want to apologize to you .

Let me make this right .

I’ll help you punish them , Okay ? ” 

Without hesitation , Torin took out his phone and dialed Julian .

“ Julian , replace out who the maids living on the first floor were ten years ago .

Track them all down .

” 

“ I’m going to sue them for child abuse , and I’ll make sure they never replace another housekeeping job for the rest of their lives .

” 

After hanging up , his shattered composure seemed to mend slightly .

It was as if he had convinced himself that Elysia had seen his apology and forgiven him .

That was until he glanced at the live chat .

[ What’s the point of dealing with it now ? Where were you back then ? And have you forgotten who’s really to blame ? ] 

[ If you’re going to act all regretful , at least show us some real action – like dealing with Rowena instead of going after a bunch of irrelevant people .

] 

[ And what about yourself , huh ? How about cutting off a finger right now , Mr.

Drayton ? Ten years too late – gotta pay some interest , don’t you think ? ] “ No … ” A faint voice broke the tension .

It was Elysia .

Her fingers trembled , and then , against all odds , she stood up again .

Chapter 43 

Her drenched hair clung to her pale face , and her oversized school uniform , soaked through , stuck to her thin frame , making her look even frailer -barely comparable in size to her younger sister Rowena .

The dried blood on her fingertips painted a heartbreaking picture , like a cracked porcelain doll .

Before she could collapse again , she steadied herself against the door , her gaze hardening as she said , “ Absolutely … cannot … let Torin’s test admission ticket be destroyed … ” 

She resumed pounding on the door , slamming with her palms until they hurt , then switching to her elbows .

When her elbows turned red , she used her head .

All the while , Rowena’s voice rang in her ears .

Rowena had sneaked into Torin’s room and stolen the backpack hanging on the wall .

“ Stupid Torin .

It’s all your fault ! Your grades are so good , and Mom and Dad praise you all the time .

I’m just as good , but they never say anything nice about me ! ” 

“ You deserve this ! Let’s see how you do after I rip up your test admission ticket ! Huh ? Why is it wrapped in plastic ? ” 

The live chat erupted into laughter as Rowena struggled with the laminated ticket .

Even shoppers who had paused to watch the livestream couldn’t help but chuckle .

Some malls even set up chairs for viewers to sit and watch the drama unfold .

“ Damn it ! ” Rowena fumed .

“ Looks like I’ll have to get some scissors to cut it up before Torin wakes up ! ” 

Rowena started walking downstairs , test ticket in hand .

That’s when she heard it – the faint knocking sound from outside .

The noise that had plagued her all night .

“ Damn Elysia , can’t even kneel properly without making a fuss .

Perfect .

Now I don’t have to return this test admission ticket .

Elysia’s always so useful … ”
