Here's the refined translation, adjusted for cultural and linguistic accuracy:
---
"Is he dead or what?"
"Even if he's not, he won't last much longer. When Elijah was brought in, he was shaking so badly, he looked like a ghost. Scared the life out of me. I swear, that kid must be cursed or something."
"If that's the case, when he dies, we can't bury him in the family plot. Bad luck for future generations!"
"Family plot? He wishes! That disgrace, born without a mother's love, deserves nothing but to rot in hell!
A son pays for his father's sins. It's divine retribution. His dad did enough evil; it's only right he suffers for it. Deserves every bit of this agony!
Just wait, he's going to be tormented by his illness until it kills him. Serves him right! Ha! Ah—"
Allegra was in the middle of her tirade against Elijah when suddenly, someone grabbed her hair from behind and yanked her to the ground hard!
Shocked to see Elysia as her attacker, Allegra exclaimed, "Are you cra—"
"Smack!"
"How dare—"
"Smack smack smack smack smack!"
Elysia slapped Allegra repeatedly, not giving her a chance to speak further, stopping only when her own hand started to hurt.
Fuming, Elysia glared at Allegra, her eyes bloodshot with rage.
Allegra, clutching her face, was utterly stunned!
So were the other women of the Bradford family!
After a recent family reunion went south thanks to a wolf attack, many Bradfords ended up in the hospital, and now, hearing about Elijah's condition, they came to gloat.
Hoping for Elijah's demise, they whispered curses against him.
But Elysia, overhearing them, couldn't bear it.
