Chapter 75
The doctor froze upon seeing Torin carrying the unconscious Rowena into the room .
His voice trembled as he asked , “ Wh … what happened .
Mr.
Drayton ! Why are you bringing the comatose Miss Drayton here ?
The doctor , fresh from completing a long day of surgeries , was clueless about the outside commation .
He still believed Bowena was pretending to be in a vegetative state .
“ Take her .
She says her heart hurts , Torin snapped , his tone curt .
He had no time for explanations , desperate to hand Rowena over and rush back to check on Elys
But the doctor hesitated , reluctant to take her .
After all, he had been the one who falsited Rowena’s medical records .
If she were to move during the handoff , it would expose his lie , costing him everything
“ Miss Drayton is supposed to be in a vegetative state , ” the doctor stammered .
“ Mr.
Drayton , you can’t just bring her here .
Please put her back in her
Torin , already on edge , exploded with fury
Do you think I’m an idiot ! ” he roared .
“ Torm .
I’m here .
Let me take Rowena so you can go to Elysia , ” Fenwick said , arriving just in time .
He reached out to take Rowena , his face filled with
rencon
But just as Rowena was about to be transferred into Fenwick’s arms , her eyes snapped open .
Clutching Torin’s shirt tightly , she whimpered , “ No ! I need Torin … Torin , you owe me ! ”
In that instant , no one was more shocked than the doctor .
A genuine comatose patient suddenly regaining consciousness would be unusual .
.
But for a pretend vegetative patient to do so ? That was a catastrophe .
She couldn’t even keep up the act for four ibyd
yton has recovered so quickly ! It’s a miracle – 26 days earlier than expected .
What
The doctor felt like crying but forced a cheerful facade .
“ Miss Drayton has great fortune ! ”
Torin .
Fenwick , and Rowena fell silent .
Three pairs of cold , scrunnizing eyes fixed on the doctor , who suddenly wished he could disappear .
Torin clenched his fists , speaking through gritted teeth .
Stop lying .
Rowena was never in a vegetative state .
I’ll deal with you later .
”
With Fenwick’s help .
Torin finally freed himself from Rowena’s grip .
But Rowena , terrified that he’d go back and discover Elysia’s lifeless body , shifted tactics .
“ Torin , don’t leave ! I’m dying ! Really , I’m going to die ! ”
Unlike Fenwick , Torin wasn’t gullible .
His anger at her fake vegetative state still burned fiercely .
The thought of returning to find Elysia dead …
Rowena couldn’t let that happen .
She burst into tears , crying harder than before .
“ I saved you once ! You can’t do this to me , Torint Come back ! ”
Her wailing cut deep , each word striking Torin’s ears like a dagger .
Torin’s heart raced .
Every time Rowena brought up her supposed “ sacrifice ” for him , his mind flashed back to the thick , blood – red liquid she had once claimed saved his life , and the grotesque , bloodstained photograph she had shown him earlier .
He tried to steady himself with deep breaths , but her cries echoed relentlessly in his mind , a haunting melody of guilt and obligation .
The weight of his emotions became unbearable .
–
Torin slowed to a stop , his resolve faltering .
A single tear slipped from his eye as he whispered , “ Im sorry , Elysia .
Just wait a little longer … I’ll come
see you soon .
Unbeknownst to him , this momentary decision would haunt him for the rest of his life .
In the hospital basement .
“ Mr.
Rookwood , the subject has been moved to safery .
But we don’t know how Miss Drayton managed to bind her way here , Surveillance shows her movements were precise – almost as if someone told her exactly where to go and gave her the lab’s passcode .
”
Stellan frowned , his mind already formulating theories .
He was about to order a full review of the hospital’s surveillance system when another researcher approached , dragging a young nurse in a white uniform .

“ Mr.
Rookwood , we found the person Miss Drayton spoke to before heading downstairs .
She was the last contact Miss Drayton had before entering
the lab
Once might be a coincidence , but twice …
Stellar’s sharp , calculating gaze bore into her , as though he were a warden interrogating an inmate ,
“ How did you know the lab’s passcode ? ” he asked scily ,
The nurse , pale as a sheet , broke into a cold sweat .
After a sense minute , she caved under the pressure and confessed everything .
Stellan took her phone and stared at the message for a long time .
“ I didn’t know it was real , she stammered .
“ Someone sent me the code and promised money if I helped .
L .
.
I didn’t think it would actually work .
And the livestream … it was his idea , not mine .
I’m so sorry ”
Stellan remained silent , his expression unreadable .
He took her phone , studying the text messages and bank transfer details .
After the nurse was escorted out , Stellan mulled over the information .
The messages hinted at a larger scheme , but one question lingered in his mind Who was the mastermind ”
He understood Callan .
Coupled with his various actions in the live broadcast , it was definitely impossible for Callan to take the initiative .
Stellan thought , So who was it ? The classmate sitting next to him ? Or someone else entirely ?”
