Chapter 281ย Lemiraโs lips twisted into a cold smirk, โYes, youโll find out after I get discharged.โย โWhy the mystery now? Canโt you just tell us straight?โย โTell you straight? I told you straight this time, look where that got me. I donโt trust you!โย Alaric choked on the words for a moment, โBut you should trust Lucian, right?โย โIn my eyes, youโre all the same.โย Alaric quickly changed the subject, โLemira, Lucianโs not doing so well. His stomach issueโs flaring up again. The doc says his constant brooding is making it worse. Maybe you should see him.โย Hearing this, Lemira spoke blandly, โI dreamed about the car crash that killed our parents last night.โย Taric paused, โDid you remember something new?โย โNo, just fragments, and the sound of our parents calling out to me. Ever since they died, deep down, you all blamed me. If I hadnโt insisted on going out for that birthday cake, the accident wouldnโt have happened.โย She had always felt that way in her previous life, which wasย she had always tried to please her brothers.ย Alaric sighed, โThose were just harsh words said when we were kids. We canโt blame you for this, it was an accident!โย โRight, Iโve started to see that now. Because in my dream, our parents kept telling me to run.โย Lemira wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, โSeeing me reminds you of our parentsโ death, and itโs the same for me. So maybe itโs better if we keep our distance, become strangers. If itโs really important, just message me.โย With that, Lemira ended the call. She had always known her brothers harbored some resentment towards her; even if it was unspoken, didnโt mean it didnโt exist.ย After hanging up, Alaric felt a pang of sadness. Even though he said it was an accident, deep down, he did blame Lemira.ย He blamed her for wanting to go out for that cake, which led to the accident that killed their parents. That day, they all lost their parents. โAlaric, did Lemmy say what the proof was?โย Lucianโs cheeks had an unhealthy pallor, hope flickering in his eyes. Alaric, clutching his phone, could only bow his head in silence. Lucian understood, turning away to wipe his tears, โDo you think if I gave up my life for our sister, sheโd forgive me?โย If only there were a way to turn back time!ย Lucianโs tone grew more serious, โAlaric, have someone dig into everything about Evelina. We have to protect Lemira this time.โ If Asher wouldnโt believe them, then heโd find the evidence to make him believe! They couldnโt let Evelina stay.ย After hanging up, Lemira thought about Lucianโs expression in the cafรฉ, angry and shocked.ย She smirked coldly, guessing Evelina would also slander Lucian without evidence to Asher.ย Given Asherโs character, he likely wouldnโt believe Lucian either. Such a pity she wasnโt there to witness it firsthand. What went around, came around.ย But this was far from over. Since Asher was covering for Evelina, the murderer, and aiming to monopolize the Al market by targeting Maple Group. She wouldnโt let Asher get his way.ย The next day, after the doctorโs visit confirmed she could be discharged, Lemira changed and went to see Orion, finding him sitting up and eating.ย โHow are you feeling today?โย โIโll be out of the ICU soon.โย Orion knew his sudden accident had scared the family, especially his mom. Thankfully, Thaddeus was there, or Lemira wouldโve faced trouble.ย Orion put down his utensils, โIโve talked to Thaddeus. Right now, the computer and the flash drive are gone, and so is the key evidence.โย
