Chapter 108
“ She … she …” Rupert stammered twice before exploding with anger .
“ I’m her father , after all ! I gave her life , raised her , and yet .
.
yet she’s just going to let me die ? She couldn’t even bother to tell me ? ”
The more he spoke , the more labored his breathing became , until his head turned red and swollen like a balloon .
Fenwick could only pat his back firmly , trying to help him breathe easier while reassuring him , “ Dad , don’t get too worked up .
You’re in good health now , aren’t you ? Elysia may seem sharp tongued , but she’s softhearted .
She’ll definitely help you ”
Torin could no longer bear to listen to such shameless words and said .
“ When Elysia tried to end her life at Mom’s grave and was rushed to the hospital with serious wounds , the doctor called you .
Why didn’t you help her ! When Rowena had Elysia tied to a chair and abused her .
Where were you then ?”
Torin pressed on , his voice steady despite its bitterness .
“ And let’s not forget , if Elysia hadn’t stopped you from drinking that drugged milk , you wouldn’t even be fine now .
The drug Rowena used on you isn’t fatal , Isn’t it only fair that she doesn’t help you ? ”
Every word that Torin had said hit Rupert like a thunderclap
“ What do you mean … taking her own life ? And abused her ? ” Rupert gripped Fenwick’s shoulder tightly , and his rough hands were trembling
Two photos popped up on screen in the live chat right in front of Rupert , stark and shocking .
His mind flashed back to that phone call from the hospital long ago .
At the time , Rowena had been right there by his side and lied to him again .
It only took Rupert a second to conclude that .
He then realized Elysia didn’t go to the hospital for an abortion .
On hindsight , he thought it made sense because Elysia had always been an obedient child .
And yet , time and time again , he had let her down – so much so that he let an outsider treat her so cruelly under his very nose .
It was his fault .
Again , he had abandoned her when she needed him most
However , Rupert was baffled .
“ Why didn’t she explain when she came back ? If I’d known the truth , I would is completely different from now when she knows I’ve been poisoned ”
never have let her suffer like that And it
As soon as Rupert finished speaking , the Elysia on the screen said , “ So I recorded everything .
I started recording the moment the door opened .
Elysia calmly pulled out her phone as Rowena froze in shock .
The screen clearly displayed the timer on the recording app , which stopped at her touch , showing “ Saved successfully .
”
Rowena was so furious that she looked like she was about to explode .
She lunged at Elysia , but Elysia had already prepared for this .
She quickly turned off her phone screen and held it behind her back
With a mocking tone ,
Elysia said , “ You’re right .
I don’t need to save anyone with my blood .
I’m not some superhero who saves just anyone .
“ But all I need to do is play this recording for Dad , and once he checks with the hospital , everything will come to light Oh , and you just admitted to cheating earlier .
What do you think Dad will do ? Kick you out , maybe ?
“ After all , you’re not his biological daughter .
You’re just an outsider with no blood ties who tried to harm him .
”
Elysia threw Rowena’s own words back at her , but while Rowena relied on deception , Elysia had evidence
The smug look on Rowena’s face finally gave way to fear .
Meanwhile , comments flooded the live chat .
Well done ! That was so satisfying to watch ! ]
[ Elysia is so smart ! With evidence like this , let’s see how Rowena talks her way out of it in front of Rupert
[ Wait Dido ‘ – Rupert just insist that Rowena wasn’t harming him a moment ago ! So … hasn’t he figured out that he didn’t become dementia because Elysia threatened Rowen to stop poisoning him ! Why didn’t Elysia just give the evidence to Rupert and expose Rowenal ]
Elysia’s words completely overturned Rupe
rt’s earlier assumptions .
His eyes widened in shock .
He finally realized that Elysia wasn’t abandoning him .
She had recorded the evidence and used it to stop that ungrateful kowena from poisoning him further .

Chapter 108
He had thought his symptoms were just normal discomforts of middle age , but the truth was that Elysia had saved him yet again without him even realizing it .
She was his biological daughter , and blood ties couldn’t be easily y severed .
Once he convinced her to come home , he would make it up to her properly .
He also had to ask her why she hadn’t played the recording for him earlier .
Also , why hadn’t she told him about being rushed to the hospital and the horrific physical abuse Rowen inflicted on her ?
He wondered if he had disappointed her so deeply .
“ No ! That can’t be it ” Rupert suddenly shouted , startling everyone around him , who looked at him like he was crazy .
He coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment , then tried to appear calm as he explained .
“ I’m her father , after all .
Blood is thicker than water .
It must’ve been something Rowena said that influenced Elysia and kept her from showing me the recording .
With this thought , the frustration in Rupert’s heart finally eased a little .
But the images
sof those bloodied photos still lingered in his mind .
“My poor child .
She bled so much ”
“ What nonsense ! ” Stellan couldn’t hold back his contempt anymore .
If he had known how utterly foolish this old man was , he wouldn’t have wasted so much effort on unnecessary schemes .
