Listen to this chapter:

Chapter 132ย  Lucianโ€™s face lit up with a touch of satisfaction, โ€œI just knew that deep down, you still came about meโ€˜ย  Lemira turned her head to look out the window, finding the whole situation bitterly ironicย  Once, she had desperately sought the attention and recognition of her brothers. She had given her all in her past life, only to receive nothing. This time around, she couldnโ€™t care less, and yet, Lucian was the one clinging to herย  Upon arriving at the hospital, Lucian was rushed in for a checkup.ย  Lemira was about to leave when the doctor stopped her, โ€œYouโ€™re the patientโ€™s family, right? Please, talk to Mr. Langston. His stomach issues need ongoing medication to prevent turning into something as serious as stomach cancerย  Lemiraโ€™s expression was cold, โ€œIf he doesnโ€™t care about his own health, what can anyone else do?โ€ย  Lemira, how can you say such cruel thing? Do you think Lucian got this way for any reason other than us?โ€ Alaric and Evelina hurriedย  Lemira tossed the medical records into Alaricโ€™s arms, โ€œGuiltโ€“tripping me right off the bat? With all this filial piety, how come you had no clue Lucianโ€™s condition was worsening? How do you even call yourself his brother, living under the same roof yet oblivious to his deteriorating health?โ€ย  Alaric was left speechless, โ€œI just didnโ€™t notice.โ€ย  โ€œWhat a great excuse. Instead of finding justifications, maybe you should spend that time convincing Lucian to follow his treatment.โ€ย  After giving them a piece of her mind, Lemira directly left the hospital.ย  Alaricโ€™s chest ached in exasperation, โ€œLemiraโ€™s getting too big for her boots.โ€ย  Evelina was equally annoyed, โ€œAlaric, Lemmyโ€™s now a star on PixelStage. With her amazing gaming skills, no wonder sheโ€™s so confident.โ€ย  โ€œHmph, confident or not, sheโ€™s still one of us Langstons. Donโ€™t you worry, Iโ€™ve got a contract she signed. If she pushes me too far, Iโ€™ll make sure she never makes it.โ€ย  Evelinaโ€™s eyes sparkled at this, โ€œWhat contract?โ€ย  Could it be they had something on Lemira?ย  โ€œAlaric, whereโ€™s Lemmy?โ€ย  Lucian, who had finished with his checkup, didnโ€™t see Lemira anywhere, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.ย  โ€œLucian, that ingrate just left. Why do you even bother asking about her?โ€ย  Evelina approached him, โ€œLucian, are you okay? Iโ€™ve been worried sick. Why didnโ€™t you tell us your stomach was getting worse?โ€ย  โ€œItโ€™s nothing serious.โ€ย  Lucian couldnโ€™t hide his disappointment; he had hoped Lemira would stay, but she left all the same.ย  Seeing Lucianโ€™s dismay, Evelina felt a sense of crisis. Despite all her efforts this period of time, Lucian still seemed to hold Lemira in high regard.ย  Just then, Lucianโ€™s secretary rushed over, โ€œBoss, our client wants to terminate the partnership, claiming thereโ€™s an issue with the firewall in the software we designed.โ€ย  Evelina interjected, โ€œThen get the tech team on it ASAP.โ€ย  โ€œThatโ€™s the thing, it hasnโ€™t been resolved, which is why they want out.โ€ย  Lucian managed a wry smile, โ€œLemmy is the one who was responsible for resolving that firewall issue.โ€ย  He found it difficult to broach the subject with Lemira, hence the delay.ย  Alaric scoffed, โ€œI refuse to believe we canโ€™t solve it without Lemira. Lucian, donโ€™t worry, leave it to me.โ€ย  Evelina, envious, said deliberately, โ€œIf only I knew how, Iโ€™d fix it for you in a heartbeat.โ€ย  Lucian sighed, โ€œIt was only after Lemmy left that I realized how indispensable she really is.โ€ย  Evelina nearly lost her composure. What about her? Where did she stand in all this?ย
