Chapter 202
Lucian let out a wry smile, “Asher! She’s our only little sister, man! Why would you say something like that p>
“I just thought she was getting a bit too big for her boots, needed to be brought down a peg or two. I had no idea she’d actually leave. Anyway, once she runs out of cash, she’ll come crawling back p>
“That’s not gonna work. I tried that before. Now She’s a well-known gaming streamer, making good money. Heard she got a signing bonus of millions. Not to mention, Lemira aced her exams. She might not even need us anymore.” Alaric was feeling pretty regretful by now.
Asher was at a loss for words, not expecting Lemira to have changed so much.
Seeing the situation go awry, Evelina promptly pretended to faint.
Time to shift the focus to herself, to get Asher to deal with the cheating scandal! Sure enough, as soon as Evelina “fainted”, Asher scooped her up and they were off.
Lucian, clutching his stomach, said painfully, “Check who reported Lemira for cheating p>
Something about this didn’t sit right with him.
“Got it, Lucian. You’ve got to take care of that stomach of yours, really. Eve made you some soup, remember to have it p>
Lucian shook his head, “It’s no use. Only Lemmy’s soup does the trick. I found out that the recipe came from a renowned doctor. Lemmy really put her heart into it for me before.” If only he had appreciated his sister’s efforts.
“I’ll try to get that doctor to give us the recipe again p>
“I sent someone, but the doctor refused. I just found out Lemmy had begged that doctor for a year, doing odd jobs for free, just to get that recipe p>
Alaric was astonished after hearing it, “We had no idea she did all that. I thought that recipe was easy to get p>
And to think they doubted the effectiveness of Lemira’s soup.
Lucian’s voice was hoarse, his eyes red, “Alaric, we really messed up p>
“Lucian, as long as we make amends sincerely, Lemira will forgive us. We’re family, after all p>
Alaric still believed, despite
everything, Lemira wouldn’t cut ties completely. They had indeed gone too far, prompting her to retaliate.
Lucian nodded, “You go ahead p>
They had a lot to make up for in the future.
After leaving the hospital, Lemira immediately called Orion.
If Asher had laid a hand on Orion, she would definitely call the cops.
Her phone, smashed by Asher, barely responded to her touches. Lemira stood anxiously, “Come on, pick up!” “Lemira p>
She looked up to see Orion, not far off, her mind going blank.
Her eyes reddened in an instant, “I’m just glad you’re okay p>
Orion extended his hand, “Come on, I’ll take you home p>
Without hesitation, Lemira ran into his arms, her fears calming down as she heard the steady beat of his heart. “Thank goodness he’s fine!” she thought.
Orion, hand still outstretched, now found himself clasped in her arms. His Adam’s apple bobbed, emotions swirling.
He thought his feelings had been
hidden well, but at this very moment, he realized he wasn’t that
unperturbed as he thought he was.
Lemira’s presence had silently seeped into his very being, flowing slowly into his heart, forever part of him.
Withdrawing her hand, Orion gently
wrapped his arms around her,
noticing the tear drops on her.
lashes, his voice filled with
arrogance, “Don’t worry about Asher. I’ll handle it for you p>
