Chapter 200ย The hospital room fell into an awkward silence.ย Lucian, with a stern look on his face, confronted Evelina, โNow that weโre alone, why did you cheat? Itโs such a disappointment.โย Even though Evelina denied it, the truth was clear to everyone.ย Alaric felt let down too. Today, he suddenly realized Evelina seemed different from the person he thought he knew.ย Cheating, lying, and blaming others. If it werenโt for the crystal clear footage from the surveillance cameras, he might never have believed Evelina capable of cheating!ย Had he been misled by Evelina before? The thought was too disturbing for Alaric, and he couldnโt even dare to glance at Lemira, feelin utterly unsettled.ย Evelina, choking back tears, protested, โI didnโt cheat. A friend begged me to pass her the answers. I couldnโt refuse it so Iโฆ.ย Before she could finish, Evelina fainted.ย Lemira, witnessing this fake angelโs act, rolled her eyes in disdain.ย Asher was concerned, โEveโs fainted! Get a doctor, quick!ย Lemira grabbed Lucianโs glass of water and splashed it right on Evelinaโs face. Asher raised his voice, โEveโs already out cold, what are you trying to do?ย Evelina remained with her eyes shut tight, refusing to wake up.ย Lemira coldly declared, โNot waking up, huh? Fine, Iโll splash you with boiling water next.โย Frightened by the threat, Evelina immediately woke up, only to realize Lemira had no boiling water in hand.ย Tricked! Evelinaโs face twisted in embarrassment, and then she tearfully said, โLemmy, why would you do that?โย Just helping you wake up after I saw you passed out. You should be thankful.โย Lemira set the cup down, โUntil you explain yourself, no more fainting. Or next time, I might just use pee.โย Evelina was furious, โWhy are you treating me like this? Iโm a victim in this! Itโs my fault for being too softโhearted and agreeing to pass on answers for a friend. If I knew it would come to this, I never would have done it.โย As long as she insisted it was all to hand over answers for helping a friend, even if she faced consequences, she could clear her name. She definitely couldnโt let anyone find out she intended to cheat!ย Asher shouted, โEnough, both of you!โย He couldnโt believe his family had turned into such a mess. No wonder Lucian ended up in the hospital.ย Asher said, โLucian, you rest up. Iโll take these two home.โย Family matters shouldnโt be aired in public.ย Lucian, worried, attempted to get up, โIโll come with you.โย Alaric walked over, โLucรญan, you should stay. Iโll go and check on them. Donโt worry.โย He was determined to protect Lemira now. It was his way of making amends for past mistakes.ย Yet, Lemรญra stood her ground; she raised her eyes, her gaze merciless, โWhen did I say I was going back to the Langston mansion?โ Her visit today was merely for a meeting. If it werenโt for Hoganโs kindness in her past life, she wouldnโt have bothered coming to the hospital at all.ย Still, witnessing Evelina getting caught cheating wasnโt a total waste of her time.ย Asher was seething, โLemira, if you walk out now, the Langston family will disown you!*ย Lemira scoffed, โThatโs exactly what I want!โ She was done entangling herself with the Langston family.ย โLemmy, donโt go!โย Lucian stumbled out of bed to grab Lemira, his eyes bloodโred, his tone pleading. โAsher was just angry, please donโt leave!โย He realized his mistake. He wanted to make things right.ย Seeing Lucianโs pallor, Lemira spoke coolly, โIf you want me to stay, on one condition.โย โAnything, even the stars in the sky, I will fetch them for you!โย Lucian was overjoyed, believing deep down Lemira still cared for them. As long as she would forgive them, that was all that mattered.ย 17:13ย Chapter 200ย Dย Lemits eyes narrowed impassively, โThe Langstons can only have one girl.
