Chapter 160
Nola was fuming, and she hatched a plan to teach Elysia a lesson through Oriana’s unwitting help!
She also intended to capture evidence of Elysia conspiring against Gage, and then confront Tarquin with it, demanding he take her
side.
After Tarquin read the message, he didn’t utter a word, just took a long drag on his cigarette.
Keaton, sensing Tarquin’s irritation, kept quiet too, sharing a silent smoke.
A little later, Benjamín came to call them, “Ms. Thome wasn’t hurt. She’s just shaken up. She’s awake now.”

A that, Tarquin stubbed out his cigarette and hurried to the hospital room.
Elysia was propped up in her bed, staring out the window in a daze. Seeing Tarquin, she burst out, “Get out! Just get out!”
Tarquin scowled, “I didn’t even do anything to you!”
But Elysia, trembling with rage, tossed a vase at him, shouting, “Get out, I can’t stand the sight of you! Go away-”
She couldn’t contain her fury. Just the sight of him infuriated her!
It annoyed her!
It reminded her of that night’s madness and terror!
Benjamin quickly pulled Tarquin out of the room and said, “Ms. Thomne just woke up; she can’t be agitated. What did you do to her to make her react like this?”
Tarquin felt wronged,
“I didn’t do anything! No, wait, I saved her! That’s right, I saved her, for heaven’s sake!*
“Huh? If you saved her, why is she so hostile towards you?”
“How should I know?!” Tarquin roared.
Benjamin flinched and tried to calm him down, “Take a breath, man. Ms. Thome probably mistook you for one of those jerks that hurt her.”
“But she was awake when I saved her!”
“Really? That’s odd. She should be grateful to see you*
He didn’t need her to weep with gratitude; if she could just appreciate what he did and take good care of Elijah, that would be enough.
But instead…
“No good deed goes unpunished!” Tarquin bellowed, storming out of the hospital and leaving Elysia behind
Lowell, at a loss, contacted Blossom, knowing she was Elysia’s close friend.
Blossom rushed to the hospital as soon as she got the news. Seeing Elysia on the bed, she paled.
“Elysia! What happened to you? What’s going on?”
Elysia, seeing her friend, burst into tears and hugged her. “Blossom…*
“I’m here, I’m here. Don’t be scared, I’ve got you.”
Once Elysia calmed down, she recounted the ordeal to Blossom,
“I was angry at them, but I hadn’t lost my mind, not until I saw him. His face was just too much for me. I really thought he was that brute from years ago! When those guys were on top of me, I flashed back to that night six years ago. And then he showed up… It was like reliving the past. I wanted to hurt him! But I couldn’t fight him off; he had my hands pinned, and I couldn’t even hit back. I was powerless… This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
These past days, she’d slowly gotten used to his face. She’d even started to approach him for Elijah’s sake. But today, the nightmare resurfaced, and her emotions spiraled out of control.
