Your Regrets Mean Nothing To Me
Chapter 51

Chapter 51 

After the notebook was taken away for further investigation , the office was once again left with only Elysia and the middle – aged officer .

Elysia was still slightly out of breath , her gaze fixed outside the window .

The midday sun beamed brightly .

She knew the exam was already halfway through .

Sweat trickled down from her forehead , Blowing into the comer of her eyes before dropping off her face 

From afar , it almost looked like she was crying .

The dense dark spots on her face became slightly smudged and blended , while her bangs , pushed back from her forehead during her intense writing earlier , revealed more of her features .

At first , the officer thought she was crying , unsure of how to comfort her .

But when he stepped closer , he was momentarily startled by her face .

The girl’s features were delicate and beautiful , yet her than frame and the blemishes on her skin hinted at years of neglect .

“ What on earth had the Drayton family been feeding her ? How could they let a child grow up like this ? the police thought .

“ Child , let me take you home ,” the officer offered , his tone firm but warm .

“ I’ll personally testify about Rowena forcing you to take her exam .

make sure your father hears about her threats today , too ” 

Elysia froze .

A faint smile appeared on her lips as she shook her head .

“ Thank you , sir , but there’s no need .

Besides .

” 

Her voice dropped as she added softly , almost to herself .

They wouldn’t believe me anyway .

” 

Seconds later , her whispered voice came again , barely audible .

They never believe me … “ When Mom left , I lost my home a long time ago ” 

These words were so quiet , so fragile , that it seemed d as if she was 

was speaking only to herself .

Yet , the livestream caught every syllable .

[ Elysia , don’t cry ! I’m going to make a voodoo doll for Rowena right now ! 

[ Elysia suffered physical abuse for the first ten years , and when she returned home , she faced not only more physical harm but also relentless pychological attacks .

Honestly , I can understand why she’d want Rowena dead .

If I were in her shoes , I wouldn’t stop at Rowena .

Rupert , Althea , Torin , Fenwick Carllan – they’d all be on my list ] 

Torin clenched his fists tightly as the guilt clawed at his heart .

For the first time , he genuinely wanted to disappear , to end 

d his own life .

But the thought of dying without earning Elysia’s forgiveness , without protecting her even once , without seeing justice served to those who wronged her – no , he couldn’t give up yet .

Unless … unless Elysia herself demanded his life in retum .

That would be a price he’d gladly pay .

Back on screen , the burly officer , accustomed to loud and rough exchanges , struggled to understand Elysia’s faint whispers .

Yet her pained , dejected demeanor was clear enough .

He hesitated before speaking , deciding to press on with a different question .

About your mother’s grave … ” 

But before he could finish , Elysia interrupted him .

But before he could finish , Flydia interrupted him 

Forcing herself to smile , she tilted her head slightly , her large , round eyes narrowing in an attempt to appear cheerful .

I trust Dad will take good care of Mom .

Since he thinks I’m unclean and unworthy of being seen by her , well … then so be it .

Maybe Mom hates me too .

Her voice trembled , and as she continued , she seemed to choke back her emotions .

To steady herself , she clung tightly to the officer’s arm , her grip a desperate anchor .

Still smiling , she added , “ Besides , how could I let my selfish desires get in the way of helping the children who are still alive ? 

“ After all , my mom is already gone .

She died eleven years ago when I was kidnapped .

She was hit by a car because of me .

I can’t keep clinging to the past , relying on someone who’s no longer here .

” 

The officer’s brow furrowed deeply as he listened .

When she finished , his eyes widened , and he roured in disbelief , “ Unclean ? What do you mean , unclean ! And… hit by a car ? Is that what Mr.

Drayton told you ? That Mrs.

Drayton was hit by a cart ! ” 

The officer thought , Could a father truly say such cruel things about his own daughter ?
