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 .

Chapter 75 

“ 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 ?”
