Chapter 166 Storm of Regrets
A sudden storm rolled in, the courtyard’s wrought iron streetlights blurring into hazy orbs of light in the deluge, while Elliot’s twisted face flickered ominously under the flashes of lightning
The moment Felix stepped into the curtain of rain, water streamed down his tight black shirt, tracing the muscles on his back
like a river.
Upon seeing Felix, Elliot’s rage ignited as if facing an enemy, bellowing. “You have the nerve to show up? Hand Laurie over to
me!”
Like a bull gone mad, he charged headlong towards Felix, swinging a fierce punch. Felix’s arm moved to block, pulling at his soaked shirt to reveal the tensed veins of his forearm.
Lauren’s heart leaped into her throat as she gripped the curtain’s edge tightly.
With a swift spinning kick, Felix sent Elliot flying, crashing heavily to the ground.
He looked down coldly at Elliot, “You don’t deserve to be Lauren’s brother.”
He
Gritting his teeth Elliot climbed up from the mud, his face twisted in a snarl. I don’t deserve it? And you do? You know Laurie’s sick and still you romance her recklessly, showing you truly don’t care about her health, just like the rumors said. heartless.”
Rain traced Felix’s stern features, his normally impassive fare now looking even more heroic against the backdrop of the
storm.
His icy gaze pierced Elliot, “Now, Lauren is deaf, crippled, and has been operated on for her kidney Who really lacks humanity here, huh?
With that, Felix turned and entered the villa, leaving Elliot collapsed on the ground. Elliot watched him disappear, disbelief and fear filling his eyes
“Stop, what did you just say? What about being deaf?” Elliot’s voice trembled, fear evident in his eyes.
No, it can’t be true. He thought desperately.
But Felix’s icy stare and merciless words struck him like a hammer to the heart. Laurie’s ears were also damaged? No wonder the didn’t react no matter how much I ranted.
She couldn’t hear at all Overwhelmed with grief, tears mixed with the rain streaming down his face.
Struggling to stand, Jeffrey tried to support him, but Elliot pushed him away.
Elliot, pale as death, looked up to the second floor, his lips quivering as he cried out, “Laurie, I’m so sorry, I didn’t think it would come to this, I’m sorry”
His legs gave way, and he fell to his knees in the mud, the sound swallowed by a clap of thunder.
The fierce wind carried large raindrops that pelted him painfully, a mere shadow of the torment within him.
As the rain washed over his face, it was hard to tell whether it was the rain or his tears of regret.
His screams were torn apart by the hurricane, the taste of rust mixed with rain flooding his lungs,
Recalling the hurt he had inflicted on Lauren, each memory a barb in his mind, his pain was unbearable.
“How could I be such a scumbag to her… Laurie-
His profound remorse moved even Jeffrey, who stood by, his brows furrowed in pity.
Yet, he felt Elliot deserved it.
Had he only known what would happen, he could not have compared his pain to Lauren’s suffering.

He couldn’t even imagine what she endured in those five years in prison to end up deaf, crippled, and without a kidury
The unseen forments of those long nights were unimaginable,
Seeing Elliot’s miserable state, Jeffrey finally said, “Elliot, Lauren can’t hear us, let’s go back.”
But Elliot, seemingly out of his mind, continued to kneel, repeatedly bowing toward Lauren’s room upstairs.
His forehead thudded against the ground, quickly swelling and bleeding, mixing with the rain.
Alarmed by his actions, Jeffrey tried to intervene, “Elliot, what are you doing?”
Elliot shoved him away, yelling, “She can’t hear, but she can see!”
