Your Regrets Mean Nothing To Me
Chapter 90

Chapter 90 

However , what Michelle said in the next moment made Elysia’s smile become forced and stiff .

“ Elysia , I know that because of your background … you’ve become very introverted , ” she said .

“ When you encounter problems , you tend to shoulder them yourself .

But have you ever thought about the fact that you’re still a junior high school student ? 

“ This age is not only the most critical stage of growth , but it’s also the time when teenagers are most prone to going down the wrong path .

“ You should take the initiative to have a good talk with your dad , not just because of what happened today , when no one knew you were sick on such an important day , the day of the placement test , but also about the bullying you faced at school .

These are things you should talk to your family about .

” 

Michelle said all the words that she had been holding in her mind for so long .

In fact , she had initially planned to wait until Elysia finished her placement test before saying these words .

However , Michelle was worried that after the exam , Elysia would behave the way she did before , preferring to be alone rather than coming to her to confide .

More importantly , she wasn’t sure if Elysia could successfully get into the high school division of Ridgewood Middle School .

If Elysia couldn’t , it would probably be difficult to see her again in the future .

Thinking of this , Michelle couldn’t help but feel a surge of reluctance .

She thought , ‘ She’s a well – behaved and beautiful child , just like a little angel .

I don’t understand why her family doesn’t like her .

Elysia’s attention , however , was fixed on that remark about her background , echoing in her mind for a long time .

“ I … my … ” 

She moved her lips .

The explanation that she wanted to offer was stuck in her throat like a thorn .

She opened her mouth for a long time but couldn’t get a single word out , making the people watching the screen antsy .

[ Quick , Elysia .

Tell her that you’re not an illegitimate daughter ! You’re the legitimate heiress of the Drayton family , while Rowena is the one who’s not related by blood .

] 

[ Don’t get stuck here .

Say it , Elysia .

Don’t you usually explain things to them quite quickly ? How come you are stuck today when you finally have a teacher who trusts you ? ] 

[ This teacher is so kind , so she’ll definitely believe you .

Elysia , don’t be afraid .

Be brave and tell the truth .

] 

[ Actually , I feel that … Elysia’s hesitation is justified .

That’s because the teacher obviously doesn’t care if Elysia is an illegitimate daughter of the Drayton family .

The key point is in the next sentence .

The teacher hopes Elysia can fight for her own happiness .

] 

[ If Elysia were to suddenly say she’s not an illegitimate child … it would be hard for the teacher not to doubt .

After all , how could a child born to the legitimate wife live in such a cramped house and be deprived of love from her father and older brothers ? Think about it , guys .

] 

[ I think it’s not hard to disprove the rumor about being an illegitimate child .

The difficult part is how she can prove that she’s already talked to her brothers about the bullying , yet still ended up being doubted by them in the end .

] 

It turned out that netizens ‘ guess was right .

“ The reason Elysia hesitated to tell the truth was actually due to her deep attachment to this trust and her inner uncertainty .

In the past two years , she had been alone .

Other than Greenie , she had not made any other friends .

She was like a fish abandoned in the desert , desperately absorbing the warmth given off by strangers .

Even if it was just a drop of water , she would still regard it as an invaluable treasure .

However , once that person tried to subtly take back the only drop of water , the harm that Elysia would endure was far more than just losing a drop of water .

To put it simply , it was the fear of gaining and losing .

She was afraid to receive , but even more afraid to lose .

When the car stopped at a red light at an intersection , Elysia heard a baby crying outside the window .

She turned her head , and her gaze happened to fall on a young mother holding a baby .

The mother was looking down , soothing the crying baby in her arms by saying , “ Who’s Mommy’s good baby ? Mommy’s little treasure … ” 

The baby soon let out a joyful laugh , seemingly incredibly happy with the closeness of the mother .

This scene stirred a strange feeling in Elysia’s heart .

She thought , ‘ If my mom were still around … ‘ 

“ What’s wrong , Elysia ? Did you hear what I said ? ” Michelle’s words interrupted her thoughts .

She snapped back to reality , looking at Michelle in a bit of a fluster , but then quickly smiled , feeling a sense of emotional peace and acceptance .

This was because there was no way her mother would still be around .

She was already very happy that Michelle was willing to side with her , especially considering that Michelle thought she was an illegitimate daughter .

Assuring her teacher very seriously , Elysia said , “ It’s nothing .

Thank you , Ms.

Olson .

I’ll try my best to communicate with my dad and brothers .

I’ll tell them everything I’ve been through at school and ask for their help .

” 

Only Torin and Fenwick , outside of the screen , knew clearly that everything Elysia was saying now was a lie .

She no longer mentioned the bullying she had endured to them .

They were not even aware that she had been late for the placement test today .

In fact , they had never seen Elysia’s placement test results .

It was as if they were certain that she would not be able to get into Ridgewood Middle School .

So , there was no way they would know that she scored zero in one of the subjects .
