Chapter 192
As Elysia teetered on the brink of falling, a strong hand abruptly sped her arm and yanked her
upright with a forceful tug
She nced up at the man who had saved her from a nasty spill, her heart pounding with the close
call. Today had been a frightening dance with gravity!
On the ground, a woman was clutching her twisted ankle, barely managing to stand with the help of a
passerby, her voice drenched in tears as she hurled usations of Torquin.
s? You’re trying to kill me! I’m your father’s own sister, and you treat me like this? Have
“This is a curse! You dare push me down the stairs? you no humanity? You disgraceful wretch…”
Tarquen’s grip on Elysia’s arm didn’t loosen. In fact, when he heard the woman’s rant, his grip
tightened, as though he intended to crush
her bones.
Wincing in pain, Elysia bit her lip and dared not make a sound.
Tarquin red at Allegra with a chilling aura and wamed her, “Don’t test my patience. If you dare mess
with Elijah again, I won’t be so nice!”
His words seemed to be squeezed out through clenched teeth.
They sounded as if they were uttered from the depths of Hades itself.
Elysia risked a cautious look at him. He was staring at the woman with a gaze so murderous that
Elysia’s heart skipped a beat.
She had thought his looks were cold enough when directed at her, but now she realized that in her
presence, he was practically tender
The old woman was livid.
“You… you want to murder me, your aunt! You’ll get yours in the end! No, you’re already getting it! Why
do you think Elijah is in such a state? He’s your retribution! The severity of Elijah’s illness is proof of
God’s punishment upon you! Just you wait, God will take Elijah away from you as the ultimate
punishment, and let him descend to hell…”
“Shut up!” Elysia couldn’t help but blurt out in protest.
For some reason, hearing this woman curse Elijah like that imitated her to no end.
Allegra tumed her attention to Elysia, “And who are you to talk to me like that?
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is children shouldn’t be dragged into the feuds of adults.
They’re innocent! Cursing a hell is simply vile!”
“How dare you! Who is this nobody speaking to me this way?”
“It’s not important who I am, but you can’t curse Elijah!”
“You wretch!”

Allegra raised her hand to strike Elysia, but Tarquin pulled her behind him, shielding her and facing
Allegra with a menacing re.
“Touch her and see what happens!”
Allegra’s raised hand hesitated, then retracted as she skeptically at Elysia.
“Is she the one who can save Elijah?”
She hade in haste after receiving a tip–off from N, intending on seeing Elijah’s condition for
herself. She had no wish for Elijah
to survive!
“With no education and no certificate, you expect her to help? She
Elijah! How foolish you must be to trust her,”
Allegra’s eyes were full of as she looked at Elysia.
She’s clearly just ashy woman using her looks to snare you by preying on
Before Elysia could retaliate, Tarquin already spat out a waming, “If you insult her again, il cut out your
tongue right now!”
Murderous intent was evident in his eyes.
“You”
“I’ve made myself clear. This is yourst warning. Get out!”
Allegra, both frightened and furious, spat out, “Fine, fine, I’m leaving! You’re here threatening me when
you should be checking on Elijah. Just a moment ago I saw him quite agitated; he might not have long

With those words, she stormed off, limping from her fall.
Once she was
gone, Tarquin and Elysia rushed upstairs.

Tarquin’s expression shifted rapidly, meing three steps of a time into the room.
“Elijah!”
