Chapter 66 

The girl beside Caelian nudged him lightly with her ellons and asked , “ Wait , wear you really blind before ? 

Carllan snapped back to reality .

At her question , his face instantly darkened with anger and embarrassment .

 

This long buried memory , hidden away for so long , had now been uncarified in front of everyone .

 

“ So what if I was ” he spat , “ It was Elysia .

She poisoned me , made me blind for two whole years 

The gul looked at him incredulously , then insediately setorted , “ Not in all the remories we’ve seen , I haven’t once seen Elysia have poisoned you ! Magic , maybe ? Or are you just making this up to win our het ? ” 

e seen you at home .

How could 

Caellar was angrier and thought , “ How dare she question ham like this ? 

“ She did it when Rowena wasn’t around ,” he said bitterly , “ She poisoned my food .

Rowers unknowingly brought it to me , and after I ate it , I couldn’t 

The girl mised her eyebrows , her curiosity sundeterred .

“ You don’t have hands or legs to get your own food ? you ? 

why ! did your 

sister have to bring it to 

Carllan clammed up , his anger replaced by a look of discomfort .

 

Even without an answer , the live – stream viewers began voicing their skepticism about his claims .

 

[ Objectively speaking , Elysia isn’t all good .

Possoning her own brother and making him blind for two years ? If it weren’t for Rowena’s quick thinking , she might’ve sent her to the hospital too I 

[ Objective , my foot .

Don’t make me slap you ] 

I’m waiting for this clown to be debunked .

Caetan hasn’t even seen Elysia , yet he’s here making stuff up .

At least the others “ sw half of what happened .

Torin , having endured countless misunderstandings already , clearly didn’t buy it .

He exposed Callan on the spot , saying .

“ Caellan was sent to the hospital because he had severe rage issues after being found and brought home .

He’d break things and attack people without warning .

We had no 

choice 

Caellan stared at his phone in disbelief .

Torin just aired my dirty laundry ! How did they even come up with this ? 

Even he couldn’t stay oblivious anymore .

Realizing something was off , the girl beside him pulled up the chat comments and another screen , which now displayed his face in real time .

 

“ Don’t be mad ,” she said , trying to soothe him .

“ I just wanted more witnesses for our bet so you wouldn’t back out later ” 

Although she played it cool , she internally rolled her eyes 

She had only made him wear the VR device to ensure he couldn’t cheat .

She still didn’t know who had sent her the anonymous tip , but money was money .

Plus , she genuinely felt sorry for Elysia .

Even if the memories showed Elysia doing something bad later , what was the worst ? Stealing fifty phones ! 

Caellan clenched his fists , glaring at her , but to her surprise , he didn’t lash out physically .

 

Instead , he muttered , “ I don’t have rage issues anymore .

Rowena helped me heal .

She took care of me for two years , even if Elysia had helped me before 

“ But she turned Rowena into a vegetable , blinded me for two years .

I’ll never forgive 

Fenwick , perhaps anticipating where Caellar’s rant was headed , quickly interrupted , “ Exactly ! During those two years , Carllan would only let Rowena near him .

We didn’t have any choice .

Rowena was just a kid herself .

What if Caellan hurt her during an outburst ? She begged Dad to let Tum stay at the hospital for treatment .

” 

Carllan was deeply moved by this revelation .

Rowena had begged their father on his behall ? Maybe she truly regretted what she had done to him in the cave all those years ago .

Her actions – bringing him meals , singing to him , reading him stories – were her way of making amends .

.

 

But Toran’s words shattered this fragile warmth .

“ Actually … Rowena begged Dad to send Caellan to the hospital because he was disrupting her studies , I sane it with my own eyes .

” 

The revelation ignited Caellan’s fury .

He swung his fist at his brother , but he forgot he was in VR .

Chapter 60 

His punch hit nothing but air , and the force threw him off balance , landing him that on the ground .

His unsignified tumble triggered a wave of mockery from the viewers 

Is Callan here as comic relief ! ] 

Ils his rage syndrome acting sup ? Should we call animal control ! He might start biting people .

Wait , is he at school ! OMC , how as a school even letting someone with these issues attend ? Where are the teachers ! The principal ‘ n reporting this to the Department of Education ! ] 

Bruh , are you trying to audition for a comedy show or something ! ] 

Struggling to his feet , Carllan was suddenly overwhelmed by a sharp pain that made him double over .

He couldn’t move until he glanced at the screen and realized the sounce of has agony 

Seeing Elysia hampung around with her injury sent a wave of phantom poin through him .

He roared at the screen .

“ Elysia , you’re hurt ! Why aren’t you resting ! What are you doing walking around ? ” 

But his outburst only earned him muse ridicule .

 

If she doesn’t go pay her bill , will you pay it for her ? ] 

It she doesn’t buy food herself , will you bay it for her ? ] 

If she doesn’t go to the bathroom , will you go for her ? ] 

Each comment became more abound , driving home the viewers utter disdain for him .

 

Clellan , now realizing there was no point in arguing , muttered bitterly , “ You’ll all see for yourselves whether Elysia is a good person or not ? 

Even as he said this , his contorted expression of pain and frustration was immortalized in dozens of screenshots that quickly became memes .

 

Watching Elysia finish paying her hospital bill , Caellan finally related 

At least she had chosen to accept Toria’s 30 thousand dollars .

That meant she wouldn’t agree to Rowena’s demands .

 

Even if Rowena begged Dad to send me to the hospital , Caellan thought , ‘ It doesn’t matter , I was clingy and probably disrupted her studies .

 

He told himself this to justify Rowena’s actions , ignoring the sour pong in his chest .

 

On – screen , Elysia clutched her payment receipt .

Her heart was heavy .

Paying the bill left her with almost nothing , and what little remained would have to last her for the rest of her recovery .

 

Having 

g humed her bridges with Rowena , she feared returning to the Drayton family , knowing they might lock her out .

 

Elysia suddenly felt a wave of helplessness and uncertainty , unsure of how to face her father , her brother , or the life awaiting her back at the Drayton family estate .

 

Yet , having brushed so close to death , her heart now ching to one unwavering belief she must live .

 

Torin had said one thing that struck true – she needed to love herself .

 

To cherish her existence , no matter what form it took 

True self – love could only be achieved when she held the reins of her own destiny .

Craving love from others , especially her family , did not mean she needed to beg for it .

Others were not her .

 

Self – love was the key to self – redemption .

Suicide was a cowardly escape that changed nothing .

 

iphany Elysia had reached in that single day , 

y , but for the first ti 

time , her face radiated a bright , sunlit smile .

 

No one knew what epiphany 

[ Does buying a lunchbox really make her this happy ! What’s wrong with the Drayton family – do they not even feed her ? ] 

Maybe she’s just relieved to be alive ! ] 

[ If being alive is so great , why did she try to kill herself in the first place ? Was it just a ploy to get her father’s and brothers ‘ attention ? ) 

[ Stop projecting your disgusting thoughts onto someone else .

Not everyone thinks like you .

Elysia has essentially been to the brink of death and back – her happiness now is completely normal .

She’s been reborn .

Why overthink it She’s clearly moved on , let go of her blind devotion to that ungrateful family , and now she’s free and at peace .

I’d be happy too .

Chapter 66 

Torin frage when he saw that last comment .

Two words caught in his throat , making it nearly impossible to breathe .

 

Torin thought , “ No.

That couldn’t be true .

It couldn’t be 

Elysia valued family too deeply .

Even after a decade away from home , she had never forgotten them .

Her longing for them , day and night , had been endless .

Hone could she possibly abandon those feelings so easily ! 

As Elysia bought her lunch and started heading back , a voice called out from behind her .

“ Miss Drayton ! ” 

Elysia stopped mid – ucp at the title , Miss .

Drayton 

She wasn’t Miss Drayton anymore .

That site no longer belonged to her .

It couldn’t be her they were addressing , 

Elysia dismissed the thought and kept walking , that the voice came closer , calling her name several times before she finally turned around .

 

The face before her was strikingly familiar .

Not just to Elysia , but to those watching the screen – including Carllan .

 

Elysia offered a polite smile .

“ Ms.

Aspen Thornton .

” 

“ Oh , no need for all that formality ! ” the woman replied cheerfully .

I’m just a caregiver Just call me Aspen .

Are you bringing food for Caellan today ! Who’s with the out ?” 

Aspen trailed off , suddenly smacking her forehead as 

rad as if having an epiphany .

 

Aspen said .

“ Ah , silly me , I just noticed .

Miss Drayton , are you hospitalized tool is everything okay ?” 

Before Elysia could respond , Aspen continued excitedly .

“ Shall I call Caellan to keep you company ? You two have always gotten sure he’d be thrilled to see you .

And , honestly , he’s been in such a good mood lately , all thanks to you ! 

along so well .

I’m 

“ You’ve been such a wonderful sister – bringing him food , eating with him , selling him stories , even singing to him .

It’s no wonder he’s warned up to me , thanks to your example .

I’ve never seen anyone so deward to their brother ! ”
