Listen to this chapter:

Chapter 181ย  Chapter 181ย  Lucian felt like he was about to lose his footing. He clutched his chest, โ€œLemmy, what did you just say?โ€ย  โ€œI said Iโ€™m severing ties with you. I hate how you always act like you know whatโ€™s best for me, making decisions about my life without even askingโ€ย  Lemira was truly furious. She had never spoken of cutting ties before, only of distancing herself.ย  โ€œI shouldโ€™ve said this sooner, to clear your confused heads. Always acting like a big brother, pretending to care for me. Itโ€™s disgusting!โ€ย  Her gaze was icy. She hadnโ€™t wanted to leave the Langston family with such harsh words. But they had continuously crossed her boundaries.ย  Lucian was almost breathless, his voice trembling, โ€œLemmy, I never thought youโ€™d hate me so much, hate the Langstons!โ€ย  Well, now you know, right?โ€ย  Lucian looked up at her, โ€œIโ€™ll just assume youโ€™re speaking in anger. That school doctor, if he were responsible, should own up to his actions and apologize at the hospital personally!โ€ย  โ€œYouโ€™ve gone too far!โ€ย  โ€œSo, youโ€™ll come with me to the hospital now?โ€ย  Lemira stared at Lucian, hailed a cab, and left.ย  She tried calling Orion, but got no answer. She remembered a past incident involving Dorian, where after a conflict, the Dravens forced the other party to apologize.ย  In the end, that person was humiliated and beaten by Dorian.ย  Lemira was seething with anger. She messaged Orion. [Where are you now?]ย  [At the hospital.]ย  Seeing his reply, she immediately called him, โ€œOrion, wait for me outside. Donโ€™t go in. Iโ€™m on my way.โ€ย  โ€œYouโ€™re coming too?โ€ย  Orion had just gotten out of his car, frowning, โ€œThatโ€™s a quick dinner party, huh?โ€ย  โ€œDonโ€™t change the subject. Wait for me,โ€ with that, Lemira hung up.ย  Orion glanced at his phone, then at the hospital. After parking, Thaddeus approached, โ€œDid Sweet Lemon call you?โ€ย  โ€œYeah, she asked me to wait for her outside.โ€ย  โ€œSweet Lemon is quite protective, huh?โ€ย  Lucian had indeed contacted Orion that morning, but the Langstonsโ€˜ threats were nothing to them.ย  Thaddeus came to the hospital with Orion primarily to deal with Dorianโ€™s matter, with him taking the lead in settling the young troublemaker.ย  Orion stood at the hospital entrance, โ€œYou go in. Iโ€™ll wait for her here.โ€ย  โ€œAlright, Iโ€™ll make it quick.โ€ย  Thaddeus walked straight into the hospital, heading for Dorianโ€™s deluxe ward. At the time, Dorian was lying in bed, bandaged up, enjoying Evelinaโ€™s care.ย  Evelina spoke gently, โ€œDorian, if Lemira and the others come to apologize later, can you go easy on them for Alaricโ€™s sake? After all, Lemรญra is a Langston.โ€ย  โ€œI understand. As long as Lemira apologizes sincerely, I might let it slide. But her broke boyfriend, the school doctor, he needs to pay a price!โ€ย  Dorianโ€™s voice grew louder, causing him to wince from rib pain.ย  Evelinaโ€™s eyes twinkled with triumph, โ€œThank you, Dorian. Lemira was just deceived by that school doctor, thatโ€™s why she ran away to live with him.โ€ย  โ€œHow could I have ever been attracted to someone as open as Lemira? Youโ€™re much better.โ€ย  Though Dorian played the field, he preferred girls who were more reserved.ย  โ€œWho are you calling open?โ€ย  Thaddeus entered the room just in time to hear Dorian badmouthing Lemira. Good thing Orion didnโ€™t come up, or this kid wouldโ€™ve been in deep trouble.ย  1/2ย  $10.50ย  ercely protective of Lernia nowย  Dorian looked up to see Thaddeus, his apple nearly slipping from his grasp, โ€œYourโ€ย  was his cousin Did his family find out about the mess heโ€™d made and sent his cousin to deal with him?ย  seeing Thaddeus, looked past him for someone else, โ€˜So itโ€™s you. Whereโ€™s that school doctor?โ€ย  Thaddeus spoke calmly. โ€ myself can handle this. He doesnโ€™t need to comeย
