Listen to this chapter:

Chapter 184ย  Alaric sighed in relief, glad that Dorian wasnโ€™t 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 couldnโ€™t quite put her finger on it.ย  Lucian approached, โ€œThanks a lot, Mr. Draven. Sorry for the trouble. Donโ€™t worry, the Langstons will cover all the following medical expenses, and Eve will take care of you until youโ€™re back on your feet.โ€ย  Dorian coughed, โ€œWell, considering Eveโ€™s feelings, making a scene wouldnโ€™t be right.โ€ So, that should settle it, right?ย  Although Evelina felt a bit resentful, Dorianโ€™s consideration for her made her feel pleased. She looked directly at Lemira, โ€œLemmy, even though weโ€™re letting this go, shouldnโ€™t you apologize, given how badly Dorian was injured?โ€ย  Alaric nodded, โ€œYeah, you really should apologize, Lemira, come here.โ€ย  cian frowned, โ€œThe school doctor was here too. He should be the one apologizing.โ€ย  Why should Lemira apologize?ย  Dorian quickly gestured, โ€œNo, no, no need for apologies. This is all just formalities. Letโ€™s just drop it, okay?โ€ย  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, heโ€™d be the one ending up apologizing!ย  Lucian insisted, โ€œMr. Draven, youโ€™re injured. Itโ€™s only right they apologize.โ€ย  hole thing anย  โ€œNo, really, I donโ€™t mind. Letโ€™s just forget the whole thing and not talk about it, okay?โ€ย  Dorian was genuinely afraid of his cousin and didnโ€™t 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, โ€œThank you, Dorian, for being so generous considering my feelings. Iโ€™m really touched. Lucian, since Dorian isnโ€™t holding a grudge, letโ€™s just let it be.โ€ย  Dorian quickly said, โ€œI need to rest now. Could you all please leave?โ€ย  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 wasnโ€™t as unforgiving as rumors suggested.ย  Evelina deliberately said, โ€œLemmy, you should really talk to that school doctor, tell him not to be so impulsive. Not everyone is as forgiving as Dorian.โ€ย  Lucian nodded, โ€œEve, I knewย  were sensible. We owe you one this time.โ€ย  Alaric turned to Lemira, โ€œYou should stop hanging out with that school doctor and move back in with us. The family wonโ€™t treat you like before. Can you stop holding a grudge?โ€ย  Lemira scoffed. She glared at Alaric, โ€œIn your dreams. I have nothing to do with all of you. Stay out of my life.โ€ย  Alaric was about to explode with anger, but Lucian intervened, โ€œLemmy, letโ€™s just leave it at that. You did so well on your exams, we wantย  wishes or requests, just name them, and Iโ€™ll 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 wouldnโ€™t let Lemira get away with this so easily. The top scorer, huh? Probably cheated with the principalโ€™s help.ย  Lemiraโ€™s sharp gaze made Lucianโ€™s heart sink. She took a step back, โ€œA celebration for me? Where do you get the nerve after you all held me back, forcing me to miss classes and play video games?โ€ย  โ€œLemira, thatโ€™s a bit harsh.โ€ย  โ€œThereโ€™s harsher, and who are you to throw a party for me!โ€ย  Alaric raised his voice, โ€œBecause Iโ€™m your brother!โ€ย  โ€œNot anymore.โ€ย
