Chapter 151ย Lemira stood before him, just inches away. Orion avoided her gaze, โNot exactly.โย โSo, itโs not official?โย His response was vague, โSomething like that.โย Lemiraโs heart sank as she heard his admission. Itโs true then. She had even thought, perhaps Orion was making it up to avoid being set up by Lucian with some girl.ย Gathering her strength, she asked, โIs it the girl you were with at the restaurant?โย She had seen them once, Orion and a girl dining out together. She hadnโt gotten a good look at the girl, just that she was tall and likely very attractive.ย Otonโs Adamโs apple bobbed, โDidnโt peg you for the gossip type.โย โJust curious. You said you were single before, and suddenly thereโs news. Canโt I ask?โย Lemiraโs words didnโt completely match her feelings.ย At that moment, Lucian wheeled out after the examination, looking quite pale.ย Seeing Lucian like this, she said with an unfamiliar coldness, โThe doctor said you need to start treatment, take your medication on time, and lay off the booze.โย โLook at my memory, always forgetting. When you were around, youโd remind me to take my meds. Now that youโre not home, I often forget.โย Lucianโs words were laden with hidden meanings, and he could see that there was still a soft spot for him in Lemiraโs heart. If his illness could bring her back, heโd rather stay sick forever.ย A hint of sarcasm was played on Lemiraโs lips, โYou could ask Evelina to remind you. She seems quite fond of doing that kind of thingย Lucian was choked on it, โI think those nutritious dish you used to make were really effective, but only you know how to make them. I know youโve done a lot for me in the past, and itโs my fault.โย โBut thatโs not medicine. It wonโt help.โย Lemira knew what Lucian was implying but refused to engage further. She looked at Lucian, โJust focus on your treatment. Iโm leaving.โย โLemmy, will you come to see me again?โ Lucianโs voice was full of earnest hope.ย Lemira felt a twinge of softness but remembered seeing Evelina here last time.ย She calmly refused, โWeโll see.โย With that, Lemira left, not lingering in the hospital. Lucian watched her go, then saying to Hogan, โDo you think Lemmy is starting to forgive me?โย Hogan thought that Ms. Langston probably didnโt feel that way. Winning back his sister seemed a long and difficult road for the boss.ย Lemira went back at her apartment, and Thaddeus rushed ahead, โI gotta hit the bathroom, running ahead. Take your time.โย Lemira and Orion walked behind. She glanced over, โCanโt believe thatโs Thaddeusโ company? Are you involved too?โย โYeah, got in through the connections.โย As they stepped into the elevator together, Lemira, feeling agitated, noticed their reflections on the door.ย She could smell the alcohol on him, โYou didnโt answer my earlier question.โย Orion adjusted his collar, his gaze intense, โWhat question?โย โAbout the girl youโre seeing. The one from the restaurant?โย Suddenly, he stepped closer, his presence overwhelming, โWhy do you need to know everything?โย Caught off guard by his intensity, Lemira stumbled backward until her back hit the elevator wall. She bit her lip, โLike I said, I was just asking. Canโt I do that?โย โAdult things arenโt for kids to worry about.โย โBut I am an adult. I can date in college,โ Lemira stood her ground, her eyes reflecting his figure.ย Orion frowned deeply, โYouโre still young.โย โIโm of age. How am I young?โย Chapter 151ย Irritated for reasons he couldnโt explain, he flicked Lemiraโs forehead, โThereโs more to college than dating?ย Lemira covered her forehead. Heโs dating. Why should he restrict her?ย Then, the elevator doors opened. Lemira turned and ran out.ย
