Your Regrets Mean Nothing To Me
Chapter 86

Chapter 86 

Seeing both Torin and Fenwick so visibly contrite , the audience seemed to lose interest in further berating them .

Instead , they redirected their frustration toward Caellan’s eleven – year – old self , pulling no punches .

[ Damn Caellan , coming home just to harm his own sister .

] 

[ Exactly , Damn Caellan .

Blind and stupid , used by Rowena all these years without realizing it .

] 

[ Damn Caellan .

Might as well leave him in a hospital to get his brain scrambled before letting him loose again .

This time , Caellan had learned from yesterday’s experience .

He refrained from activating his camera at first , but the relentless stream of insults eventually got under his skin .

Even when he tried typing to defend himself , his comments were quickly buried under the flood of messages .

Frustrated , he finally turned on his 

camera .

At Ridgewood Middle School , Caellan’s homeroom teacher , who had been quietly watching the livestream , adjusted her glasses at the sudden appearance of his face in the corner of the screen .

Narrowing her eyes to assess his surroundings , she began to rise from her chair , only to sit back down as Caellan yelled into the camera , “ The milk wasn’t poisoned ! It was Fenwick who warmed it up for Rowena .

“ He had to leave for something , so he asked me to take it to her .

Then … Rowena said she didn’t want it anymore and told me to give it to Elysia .

” 

For the first time , he addressed her as “ Elysia ” instead of something derogatory .

The unfamiliar term made him pause briefly , but he quickly continued , “ Since Fenwick made it , why shouldn’t it count as from him ? ” 

The comments exploded .

[ Oh , look who’s suddenly calling her “ Elysia.

” Late – blooming affection is cheaper than grass .

] 

[ Excuse me ? Rowena’s leftovers get passed to Elysia like charity ? If you cared so much , why not warm up a fresh cup yourself ? ] 

[ Rowena probably poisoned it and made Caellan her accomplice .

] 

The homeroom teacher smirked and leaned back in her chair , thoroughly enjoying the spectacle .

For her , watching Caellan make a fool of himself on a global stage was far more satisfying than forcing him to write another apology letter .

She even joined in the mocking chorus .

[ This kid’s logic is absolutely groundbreaking .

Even my three – year – old wouldn’t come up with something this ridiculous .

] 

Back in the livestream , Elysia hesitantly accepted the milk , holding it in her hands but not drinking it .

* Caellan … are you sure Fenwick really asked you to bring this to me ? ” Elysia asked .

.

Having been half – asleep when he arrived , she hadn’t overheard any earlier conversation .

But her gut told her it was unlikely Fenwick would suddenly prepare something for her .

After all , in his eyes , she was nothing but trouble .

The fact that he didn’t actively bully her was already a blessing ‘ Why would he go out of his way to be kind ? ‘ Elysia thought .

Caellan said , “ Who said you could call me that ? Drink it or don’t , I don’t care .

” 

Annoyed , Caellan snatched the milk back and downed it in one gulp , leaving not a single drop .

Under Elysia’s surprised gaze , he revealed his real reason for being there ; 

“ I came to ask you something .

Answer honestly , and I’ll … I’ll give you these .

” 

Reluctantly , he pulled out a bag of gummy candy Rowena had given him .

The candies were haphazardly wrapped and looked somewhat unappealing .

He had planned to keep them for himself .

Carllan turned to the audience and clarified , “ These candies were also from Rowena .

The milk ? She didn’t even touch it , so how could it have been

poisoned ? And the candies – what , she poisoned them too ? No way .

She probably just didn’t want them anymore and gave them to me to give to Elysia .

“ Maybe Rowena just wanted to humiliate her , not harm her .

And I didn’t tell Elysia they were Rowena’s leftovers , so she wouldn’t feel insulted .

” 

Caellan seemed almost proud of his reasoning , as though he’d done Elysia a favor by sparing her feelings .

But the comments were quick to cut him down .

Oh , so now you’re proud of yourself ? Giving Rowena’s scraps to Elysia like she’s some charity case ? Disgusting .

] 

[ The fact that you used Rowena’s leftovers to barter with Elysia makes my skin crawl .

] 

Meanwhile , Fenwick was reeling from the revelation .

The milk truly had been his – just not for Elysia .

The realization tore at him .

Not only had he never given Elysia a single gift , but the guarded , distrustful look on her face when she questioned the milk’s origin made it clear how little she expected from him .

Back in the memory , Elysia eventually nodded and apologized , “ I’m sorry , Caellan .

I didn’t mean to doubt you .

What do you want to ask me ? ” 

Caellan gave a satisfied nod and asked , “ Did you poison my food to make me blind ? Why would you do that ? I never even … ” 

“ Stop ! What are you saying ? ” 

Elysia’s voice trembled as she cut him off .

This wasn’t just a question .

It was an accusation .

Caellan believed she had poisoned him and was demanding an explanation .

But how could she explain something she hadn’t done ? 

Elysia had thought maybe — just maybe – Caellan had realized she’d been the one by his side during his hospital stay .

Instead , reality hit her like a cold slap .

Desperate , she asked , “ Who told you that ? Was it Rowena ? Caellan , tell me – was it Rowena ? ” 

Caellan didn’t reply , but his expression said it all .

Elysia’s heart sank .

Her voice broke as she pleaded , “ Caellan , you have to believe me .

I would never hurt you .

It was Rowena who poisoned you , not me .

” 

“ I was the one who stayed with you all those days in the hospital .

I read you stories , remember ? The Little Prince … ” 

“ Enough ! You’re lying ! ” Caellan shouted .

Already prone to outbursts , Caellan’s anger exploded .

He hurled the glass of milk at the floor , the shattering sound making Elysia flinch and cover her ears .

Still furious , Caellan scanned the room for something else to break .

But her sparsely furnished room left him with few options .

In frustration , he grabbed the bag of candy and threw it at her , snarling , “ Don’t you dare slander Rowena ! Everyone’s right – you really are a bad person .
