Chapter 184ย Alaric sighed in relief, glad that Dorian wasnโt going to make a big deal out of it.ย Lemira found it unbelievable. Was Dorian really going to let this slide? Something felt off, but she couldnโt quite put her finger on it.ย Lucian approached, โThanks a lot, Mr. Draven. Sorry for the trouble. Donโt worry, the Langstons will cover all the following medical expenses, and Eve will take care of you until youโre back on your feet.โย Dorian coughed, โWell, considering Eveโs feelings, making a scene wouldnโt be right.โ So, that should settle it, right?ย Although Evelina felt a bit resentful, Dorianโs consideration for her made her feel pleased. She looked directly at Lemira, โLemmy, even though weโre letting this go, shouldnโt you apologize, given how badly Dorian was injured?โย Alaric nodded, โYeah, you really should apologize, Lemira, come here.โย cian frowned, โThe school doctor was here too. He should be the one apologizing.โย Why should Lemira apologize?ย Dorian quickly gestured, โNo, no, no need for apologies. This is all just formalities. Letโs just drop it, okay?โย His cousin was probably still around. Considering his cousin had stood up for the school doctor, and he had agreed not to pursue the matter, if his cousin and the school doctor were to come over.ย Chances were, heโd be the one ending up apologizing!ย Lucian insisted, โMr. Draven, youโre injured. Itโs only right they apologize.โย hole thing anย โNo, really, I donโt mind. Letโs just forget the whole thing and not talk about it, okay?โย Dorian was genuinely afraid of his cousin and didnโt want to face him.ย Not just Lemira, but even the rest of the Langstons were surprised that the issue was resolved so easily. Something was definitely off! Evelina, slightly smug, said, โThank you, Dorian, for being so generous considering my feelings. Iโm really touched. Lucian, since Dorian isnโt holding a grudge, letโs just let it be.โย Dorian quickly said, โI need to rest now. Could you all please leave?โย He wanted to avoid any further confrontation.ย As the group left the hospital room, Lemira felt a weight lifted off her shoulders, surprised to see that Dorian wasnโt as unforgiving as rumors suggested.ย Evelina deliberately said, โLemmy, you should really talk to that school doctor, tell him not to be so impulsive. Not everyone is as forgiving as Dorian.โย Lucian nodded, โEve, I knewย were sensible. We owe you one this time.โย Alaric turned to Lemira, โYou should stop hanging out with that school doctor and move back in with us. The family wonโt treat you like before. Can you stop holding a grudge?โย Lemira scoffed. She glared at Alaric, โIn your dreams. I have nothing to do with all of you. Stay out of my life.โย Alaric was about to explode with anger, but Lucian intervened, โLemmy, letโs just leave it at that. You did so well on your exams, we wantย wishes or requests, just name them, and Iโll make sure they happen.โ to throw you a big celebration party.ย Evelina, green withย her clenched envy,ย nable to hide her bitterness. She wouldnโt let Lemira get away with this so easily. The top scorer, huh? Probably cheated with the principalโs help.ย Lemiraโs sharp gaze made Lucianโs heart sink. She took a step back, โA celebration for me? Where do you get the nerve after you all held me back, forcing me to miss classes and play video games?โย โLemira, thatโs a bit harsh.โย โThereโs harsher, and who are you to throw a party for me!โย Alaric raised his voice, โBecause Iโm your brother!โย โNot anymore.โย
