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 .

 

“ Hmph ! Don’t blame me for this , then , “ Rowena muttered through gritted teeth .

“You shouldn’t have put yourself in my way by contributing your memories .

If you’re dead , they can’t extract anything from you , right ? ” 

She clenched her fists , her gaze locking onto Elysia’s pale , lifeless face .

The girl lying on the bed resembled a withered flower – drained of life , but still breathtakingly beautiful .

 

“ Well , you won’t live long anyway , Rowena sneered .

“ Think of it as me helping you reunite with 

your mom a little sooner 

Her tone took on a mockingly benevolent lit.

“ Maybe I’ll even send Torin , Fenwick , Caellan , and Dad to join you .

Wouldn’t that be nice ! ” 

Rowena’s 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 Flys’s delicate , porcelain – like neck .

 

Though the surveillance footage had no sound , Torin immediately grew tense at the sight of Rowena’s hands .

 

The moment her fingers touched Elysia’s skin , her body jerked violently as if she had been electrocuted 

She froze , her eyes wide in shock , and didn’t move further .

 

Torin , watching from the broadcast roon , could no longer contain his anxiety .

Pulling out his phone , he called Aspen to confirm Elysia’s condition , seeking reassurance .

 

“ Miss Drayton ? Aspen answered promptly .

“ Mrs.

Drayton visted earlier , so I stepped out for a moment .

Let me check on her .

.

 

Aspen’s sentence was abruptly cut off by a sharp scream .

“ Oh no ! Miss Drayton is gone ! ” 

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 ! Wasn’t she in a coma after falling down the stairs ?! 

[ Two possibilities : Either it’s a medical miracle , or she faked it 

[ Unlikely to be a fake Stoneford First Hospital wouldn’t lie to the family .

It’s a public institution , and getting caught would ruin them .

Not anymore .

It’s been privatized by the Rookwood Group .

Also , is this lab inside the hospital ) Wild .

( So this really isn’t memory playback – it’s live surveillance footage .

Rowena just tried to destroy the machine , and now she’s attempting to kill Elysla 

The comments poured in each more Frantic than the last .

Torin’s heart raced with every passing second .

When his eyes landed on the words “ kill Elysia , ” he bolted from his seat and dashed for the door.

 

“ Stay calm ,” Fenwick tried to reason .

“ Maybe Mom transferred Rowena to another hospital .

Look , she hasn’t actually done anything to harm Elysia .

 

But Torin , already at the door , lashed out 

“ Calm ‘ Did you even see that ? Your precious Rowena is threatening our sister’s life .

Let me go ! ” 

He shoved Fenwick aside and stormed out , his phone still streaming the live footage to track any developments .

 

Left on the floor , Fenwick’s 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 

‘ Could Rowenareally be trying to kill Elysia ? Callan thought .

 

At the hospital , Rowena’s confidence shattered the instant her fingers brushed against Elysia’s 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 , “ You … you’re dead You’ve been dead this whole time ! How dare you trick me , Elysia ! ” 

It was only then that Rowena remembered to check this laboratory .

She looked up .

 

As expected , it was a large and shiny surveillance camera ,
