Chapter 132ย Lucianโs face lit up with a touch of satisfaction, โI just knew that deep down, you still came about meโย 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 couldnโt 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, โYouโre the patientโs family, right? Please, talk to Mr. Langston. His stomach issues need ongoing medication to prevent turning into something as serious as stomach cancerย Lemiraโs expression was cold, โIf he doesnโt care about his own health, what can anyone else do?โย 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 Alaricโs arms, โGuiltโtripping me right off the bat? With all this filial piety, how come you had no clue Lucianโs condition was worsening? How do you even call yourself his brother, living under the same roof yet oblivious to his deteriorating health?โย Alaric was left speechless, โI just didnโt notice.โย โWhat a great excuse. Instead of finding justifications, maybe you should spend that time convincing Lucian to follow his treatment.โย After giving them a piece of her mind, Lemira directly left the hospital.ย Alaricโs chest ached in exasperation, โLemiraโs getting too big for her boots.โย Evelina was equally annoyed, โAlaric, Lemmyโs now a star on PixelStage. With her amazing gaming skills, no wonder sheโs so confident.โย โHmph, confident or not, sheโs still one of us Langstons. Donโt you worry, Iโve got a contract she signed. If she pushes me too far, Iโll make sure she never makes it.โย Evelinaโs eyes sparkled at this, โWhat contract?โย Could it be they had something on Lemira?ย โAlaric, whereโs Lemmy?โย Lucian, who had finished with his checkup, didnโt see Lemira anywhere, a hint of disappointment in his eyes.ย โLucian, that ingrate just left. Why do you even bother asking about her?โย Evelina approached him, โLucian, are you okay? Iโve been worried sick. Why didnโt you tell us your stomach was getting worse?โย โItโs nothing serious.โย Lucian couldnโt hide his disappointment; he had hoped Lemira would stay, but she left all the same.ย Seeing Lucianโs 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, Lucianโs secretary rushed over, โBoss, our client wants to terminate the partnership, claiming thereโs an issue with the firewall in the software we designed.โย Evelina interjected, โThen get the tech team on it ASAP.โย โThatโs the thing, it hasnโt been resolved, which is why they want out.โย Lucian managed a wry smile, โLemmy is the one who was responsible for resolving that firewall issue.โย He found it difficult to broach the subject with Lemira, hence the delay.ย Alaric scoffed, โI refuse to believe we canโt solve it without Lemira. Lucian, donโt worry, leave it to me.โย Evelina, envious, said deliberately, โIf only I knew how, Iโd fix it for you in a heartbeat.โย Lucian sighed, โIt was only after Lemmy left that I realized how indispensable she really is.โย Evelina nearly lost her composure. What about her? Where did she stand in all this?ย
