Your Regrets Mean Nothing To Me
Chapter 61

Chapter 61 

As Torin reflected on the past , a sudden realization struck him like a flash of lightning , 

Torin thought , When had my relationship with Rowena become so close ! Was it after Elysia came back ? ” 

Ten years ago .

he had misunderstood Elysia’s selfless act of pushing him our of the way and jumping from the car as abandonment .

her regret it .

He flaunted his 

He had harbored that resentment for a decade .

When she was finally found , his immaturity drove him to make h affection for another sister , Rowena , right in front of her .

Π 

Later , he had believed Rowena’s claims that Elysia was bullying her .

He thought Rowena had bravely protected his test admission ticket from Elysia , risking her safety for him .

And then there was the medicine , the use of blood for treatment – if all of that turned out to be lies ….

Torin’s gaze darkened like the setting sun , clouds of doubt swirling in his eyes .

Rowena , if all of this is fake , I swear I won’t let you off .

Torin thought .

Fenwick , noticing Torin’s long silence , couldn’t hold hack his curiosity .

“ Torin , you’re not seriously in love with Rowena , are 

e you ? She’s supposed to be our sister ! How could you … ” 

“ Fenwick , shut up ! ” Torin’s response was sharp , his voice trembling g with barely contained fury 

“ If you’ve got time to spout nonsense , why don’t you think about the things you said to Elysia back then ? How are you going to make up for that ? ” Torin snapped .

“ She 

was so desperate she considered disappearing – thank God she didn’t do something irreversible .

If she had .

“ Torin’s voice cracked .

“ I wouldn’t forgive you I wouldn’t forgive myself either ,” 

[ Torin would never love Rowena .

He’s too smart to fall for someone like her ] 

[ Smart ? If he was so perceptive , why did he treat his kindhearted sister like trash while pampering a conniving outsider : ] 

The Drayton family really takes the cake ainong Stoneford’s elite .

Ignoring their own daughter while fawning over a stranger – Rowena could dine out on that for life I 

[ If I were Rowena .

Td bite my tongue and end it all .

Better than waiting for karma to come for me I 

As debates raged in the live stream chat , the scene shifted again .

The camera followed Elysia , now walking through a somber , overcast cemetery .

Around her were rows of gray tombstones , their solemnity reflecung the heavy atmosphere .

The camera lingered on one gravestone in particular , where the name “ Valerie , beloved wife of Rupert was etched .

It was Elysia’s mother’s grave .

[ Wait , how did she find this place ? Wasn’t no one willing to tell her where it was ? ] 

With renewed curiosity , the audience fell silent , their focus sharpening .

Elysia stood before the gravestone , her blue – and – white school uniform contrasting starkly against the gray skies .

In one hand , she held a bouquet of pure white carnations .

Around her neck hung an oval locket , glinuing faintly .

“ Mom … Mom .

” Her voice was soft , trembling with emotion as she called out to the mother she hadn’t seen in so long .

The gravestone’s picture of Valerie had grown dull with dust from years 

ars of neglect .

Elysia knelt down , carefully wiping it clean with a tissue 

She placed the fresh carnations in front of the grave , arranged neatly .

Only when everything was in order did she finally remove her mask and lower herself fully to her kneel 

Her unblemished face , flawless and radiant , was exposed to the world for the first time in years .

It was as if she wanted to let her r mother see how much she had grown in their twelve years apart 

“ Mom … ” This was the second time she called out

But just as she was about to speak , her gaze fell on the smiling face in the photo , and her emotions overwhelmed her .

A single sob escaped her lips , quickly escalating into uncontrollable , heart – wrenching cries .

At that moment , she was no longer the strong stole girl everyone knew .

She was just a child , longing for her mother’s love and comfort .

How long she knelt there , crying , was unclear .

But eventually , she mustered the courage to reach out and gently touch the photo , 

“ Mom , I fully found you …” she whispered , her voice choked with sobs .

Tim sorry I came so late .

I thought you wouldn’t want to see me .

I’m sorry .

I’m so sorry … Please don’t be mad at me , Mom .

Please … 

Her words dissolved into fresh tears .

From her eyes fell not tears , but blood .

What began as an apology soon turned into a torrent of grievances : 

“ Tad … he’s not my dad anymore .

My brothers have a new sister now – her name is Rowena .

They all love her so much ….

“ But she’s so cruel , Mom .

She’s done so many terrible things .

Why hasn’t she been punished yet ? Why hasn’t karma come for her ! 

“ Or maybe there is no such thing as karma .

Maybe Dad was lying to me all along .

He wouldn’t even tell me where your grave was … 

“ The brothers didn’t either .

In the end , it was Rowena – the worst of them all – who told me .

But only because I promised to take her place for the placement test .

” 

Her voice faltered .

Her face turned pale , but she forced a smile .

Reaching into her pocket , she pulled out a small , elegant folding knife 

“ Mom , I think I’m going to break that promise ” Elysia said .
