Listen to this chapter:

Chapter 280ย  Chapter 280ย  But the videos and photos of Susannaโ€™s bullying scandal left their marks on the internet, impossible to erase.ย  The Sinclairs could only resort to posting on Susannaโ€™s Twitter, claiming her account was hacked and the uploads were doctored,ย  Ha, Lemira hacked into Susannaโ€™s phone again. But she found it wiped clean. Looked like the Sinclairs realized the gravity of the situation and had destroyed Susannaโ€™s phone.ย  Lemiraโ€™s expression turned icy. She waited for Susanna to face her comeuppance! And if not, sheโ€™d take matters into her own hands. Throughout the night, Lemira couldnโ€™t sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw the car crash. Orion had swerved, taking all the impact and danger upon himself!ย  If anyone was to die first, it would have been him! Unable to sleep in the end, Lemira got up and sneaked a visit to Orion.ย  She quietly entered Orionโ€™s hospital room and saw his pale face, feeling a twinge of sorrow. Orion must have lost a lot of blood.ย  Lemira gently held Orionโ€™s hand, feeling its coolness. She felt distressed, โ€œOrion, you need to get better soon. I shouldnโ€™t have dragged you into this. After all, youโ€™re just an ordinary guy, no match for those rich folks. Iโ€™m sorry!โ€ย  Carefully, she rested his hand against her cheek, โ€œOrion, can you wake up, please?โ€ย  โ€œIn the middle of the night, youโ€™re here by my side, crying like this. Anyone would think Iโ€™ve turn to a vegetable.โ€ Lemira froze, and then turned to see Orionโ€™s eyes open, his profound gaze twinkling with amusement.ย  She awkwardly let go of his hand. Stuttering, she spoke, โ€œYouโ€™re awake. Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?โ€ย  โ€œNo.โ€ย  โ€œBut youโ€™ve been asleep the whole time.โ€ย  โ€œI was just too tired and fell asleep.โ€ย  Seeing Orionโ€™s condition wasnโ€™t too bad, Lemira felt a bit relieved, โ€œSeeing you awake makes me feel better.โ€ย  โ€œYouโ€™ve hurtย  yourย  forehead?โ€ย  Orion noticed the bandage on her forehead, looking concerned.ย  Lemira shook her head, โ€œItโ€™s something trivial. Compared to your injuries, a scar on my forehead is nothing.โ€ย  โ€œIt looks not good for a girl having a scar on the forehead.โ€ย  Lemiraโ€™s breath hitched, โ€œDuring the crash, why did you turn the wheel? You couldโ€™ve avoid getting hurt so badly.โ€ย  After she spoke, they locked eyes, neither breaking the silence. Lemira hadnโ€™t been sleeping well, but now, seeing him awake, she didnโ€™t know what to say.ย  Orionโ€™s gaze was clear, โ€œBecause I didnโ€™t want you to get hurt!โ€ย  He wouldnโ€™t let her be harmed in the crash again!ย  Lemira, flustered, looked down, โ€œSince youโ€™re awake, Iโ€™m relieved. You should rest now.โ€ย  Turning, she left the ICU, her heartbeat racing. Lying in her hospital bed later, Orionโ€™s face and the crash scene filled her mind.ย  Then, another crash from long ago played in her dreams, only in fragments. She dreamed she was trapped in a car, and it was Orion who rescued her.ย  Waking up, Lemira found tears at the corners of her eyes.ย  It had been a long time since she dreamed of that old accident. Maybe because of the influence of this recent crash, Orion was unexpectedly in her dream; she assumed these two scenes must have been blended.ย  Just then, Lemiraโ€™s phone rang. Picking it up, she answered, โ€œHello? Whoโ€™s this?โ€ย  โ€œLemira, which hospital are you at? Lucian wants to come visit.โ€ย  โ€œIโ€™m fine, really. Iโ€™ll be even better without you.โ€ย  Alaric hesitated before asking, โ€œYou mentioned this isnโ€™t over, do you still have evidence?โ€ย  He wanted to know. And he wanted to see the evidence.ย  evidenย
