Chapter 5 Lucian paused , retracting his hand . He hastened downstairs to find Evelina with cheeks flushed a deep shade of crimson , clearly feverish . Ill get the car , were heading to the hospital now , he declared with Caspian joining in to send Evelina to the hospital . Upstairs in the bedroom , Lemira lay sprawled across her bed , her face mirroring Evelinas feverish tint , as sweat drenched her forehead . The night had been restless , filled with uneasy dreams that left her feeling lighter than air and deeply unsettled . Came morning ; the incessant buzzing of her phone with message alerts finally roused her from sleep . Irritated , she reached for her device , only to be greeted by a barrage of hateful messages . The source ? A video of her pushing Evelina into the pool had gone viral on the schools social media platform . Evelina , beloved by many at school , had her legion of fans now unleashing their fury on Lemira . The headache that ensued felt nearly explosive . In response , Lemira dove into the fray , her replies sharp and filled with the kind of venom that would make sailors blush . The rum was ablaze , its moderators in a panic over the sudden spike in traffic . After sending those messages , Lemira tossed her phone aside and tried to find solace in sleep once more . After all , with her ties to the Langstons now cut , public opinion mattered little to her . She didnt want to suffer from the unfair treatment any longer . The sharp rap of the maids knock soon followed , Miss Langston , its time for school , youll be late . The realization hit her ; school was still a commitment she had to honor . Splashing her face with cold water to ward off the remnants of sleep , Lemira reminded herself of the goal ahead : to sever ties with the Langston family , she needed to finish the course and earn her place at a university . Dressed in her uniform and with her backpack in tow , she descended the stairs just as Lucian and Caspian stepped inside . Lucian , noticing her flushed cheeks , instinctively reached out to check her temperature , only for Lemira to step back to avoid his touch and head straight to the dining room . She needed a full breakfast to get through this , thinking of the academic marathon that lay ahead . Lucians hand hovered awkwardly in the air before he withdrew it , while Caspian scoffed , Ungrateful wrench , shes tough as nails . Not like our Eve , frail since childhood . Lemira ? Sick ? Never . Lucian didnt react , quietly approving Caspians words about Lemiras health condition . He approached the dining table , Evelinas ill . Youre to look after her at school until she recovers . Understood ? He believed Lemira had gone wild gradually and determined not to coddle her like before . Since she didnt understand how to be grateful , hed teach her the way . Caspian added his own piece , You owe Evelinas father a life debt , and you almost killed her . Its time you start making atonement by taking good care of her . Lemira was focused on having breakfast ; though without appetite , she forced herself to eat . There were still less than 100 days to have the university entrance exam , and after that , she could leave the Langstons . Caspian , dissatisfied with her silence , snatched away her utensils , demanding attention . Im talking to you , cant you listen ? Lemira looked up without replying , her gaze steady . Caspian demanded , Get Eve warm water when she needs take medicine . Fetch her lunch from the canteen and run to her room in case the food gets cold . Go to the toilet with her when she has the need ! Her dad saved your life , its what you should do . Am I clear ? Lemira replied coldly , Loud and clear , though her commitment to his orders was anything but guaranteed . As she stepped out of the mansion , she forced back the tears by looking up the sky . Another life , another chance . she had thought reborn would spare her the heartache , yet Caspians words stung sharply , a reminder of the times when her illnesses were met with Lucians entire night company and Caspians making jokes for the purpose of coaxing her into taking the medicine , a contrast to now , where Evelinas frailty garnered all attention . Later when she had a fever , she had to deal with it herself . Lemira swallowed the bitterness and got in the car , closing her eyes for some rest , secretly comforting herself that there were merely less than 100 days left . Arriving at school , she directly went to the room for Senior Grade 3 students ; as she entered , the once lively chatter of her classmates hushed . Her cussing exploits on the schools forum had become the talk of the town .
