Chapter 192
As Elysia teetered on the brink of falling, a strong hand abruptly clasped her arm and yanked her upright with a forceful tug
She glanced 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 accusations 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 glared 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.

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 glare.
“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 had come in haste after receiving a tip–off from Nola, 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 scom 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 your last 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 left!”
With those words, she stormed off, limping from her fall.
Once she was
