Chapter 557
Lemira glanced back toward the door, her eyes widening in shock.
It was Evander Langston-he had actually returned.
In her past life, she remembered Evander always staying at Rowan’s lab, handling affairs for the pharmaceutical company.
When Evelina saw the man in the wheelchair, her face lit up with joy. She dashed over to him, throwing herself into his arms. “Evander, you’re finally back p>
“Yes, I’m back now, and no one can bully you anymore,” Evander replied, holding Evelina with a gentle expression.
Evelina spoke softly, “Evander, you’re all I have now p>
Evander comforted Evelina in a low voice before wheeling himself into the living room, where he stopped in front of Lemira, his expression serious. “What about the promise you made to me before p>
Lemira paused, trying to recall what promise Evander was referring to.
She had promised Evander she would get along with Evelina and take care of her.
Lemira let out a cold laugh, her eyes sharp. “I must have been out of my mind back then p>
“Lemira, you owe Evelina a life and me a leg,” Evander accused, his voice filled with reproach. “Unless you end up like me, living with a disability, you’ll always owe me p>
Lemira felt a sharp pain pierce her heart, but she quickly composed herself. “You’ve got it wrong. Your leg was lost because of the lab fire. The amputation was necessary. How do I owe you a leg p>
“But my leg could have been saved,” Evander argued. “You told the doctors to amputate. Now, Rowan’s developed a treatment. If my leg had been spared, I’d be cured now p>
Lemira found it laughable.
At the time, Evander had been rushed to the hospital, and only she and Evelina were there; the rest of his brothers couldn’t make it.
The doctor asked her whether to amputate, warning that his leg was
unsalvageable and his life was at risk.
She chose to amputate to save Evander’s life.
Now, they were blaming it all on her.
So that’s why Evander disliked her he blamed her for his amputation?
Lemira’s gaze was icy. “If I hadn’t chosen amputation back then, you’d be six feet under by now. You’d be
relying on dreams from the afterlife of
to reach me.” s
“Lemira, do you still refuse to see your mistake?” Evander’s face flushed with anger, shocked at her refusal to admit fault.
Evelina quickly intervened, “Evander, don’t get so upset. It’s bad for your health p>
Hearing Evelina’s words, Evander’s expression softened considerably.
He turned to her, “You were there too. Did Lemira make the decision to have my leg amputated on her own p>
Evelina lowered her eyes. “Yes, the doctor thought we were too young to decide and wanted our guardian to make the call. I didn’t expect Lemmy to sign the consent formson her own content belongs to s
Evander, feeling justified, declared, “Lemira, you hear that? I haven’t wronged
you p>
Lemira smirked coldly. “That’s
because no one else could make it
in time and the doctor said if a decision wasn’t made, you’d dies from blood loss. Didn’t Asher know about this too?” s
She had done it to save Evander’s life.
She turned to Asher. “The doctor called you about it, didn’t they p>
Asher’s face was uneasy. “They did mention it, but I said wait until I got there to decide. What made you think you could sign off on the amputation p>
“In a life-or-death situation, I called you before deciding, but you didn’t pick up p>
