Chapter 46 Lemiras face was a shade darker than usual . She had a hunch this was going to happen . Lemmy , Im your guardian , not that school doctor . The schools already buzzing with rumors . I can have you stay home to prepare for your exams . Lemiras eyelids drooped , masking her flash of anger . Her voice came out hoarse , So this is what you meant by not letting me feel wronged ? Lucian felt helpless , Tm doing all this for your own good ! Family squabbles are nothing serious . Cant we just resolve it peacefully ? Running away from home just to force our hand ? That same line again , for your own good ? Then why , in her past life , was she abandoned and met such a tragic end ! Lemira marched ahead , her sole motivation now the countdown to her exams . She couldnt trouble Orion , although today had gone moothly . But if Lucian got serious , that could change . Once shes in the car , she texted Orion . Heading home now , catch up later . ] Seeing her get in the car , Lucian finally relaxed . It seemed Lemira was indeed just throwing a tantrum . He had shown a bit of weakness today , and she had taken the bait Looked like he needed to show more care towards Lemira in the future , to avoid her feeling neglected compared to Evelina . Back at the Langston residence , Lemira got out of the car first , ignoring everyone else . Lucian watched her go , sighing in resignation . Evelina , struggling to get out of the car with a teddy bear in her arms , said , Lucian , Im sure Lemmy will understand your intentions eventually . Catching sight of Evelinas docile look with her teddy bear , he couldnt help but respond , If only she could be as understanding and well behaved as you , Id be over the moon . Evelina looked down , her expression the picture of obedience . At dinner , Alaric was nowhere to be seen ; only Lucian and Evelina were present Lemira quietly finished her meal , planning to retreat to her room . She noticed Lucian clutching his stomach , seeming uncomfortable . She knew Lucian had always had a weak stomach , needing constant care and medication . But in her past life , despite her diligent care , she couldnt compare to a simple bowl of soup Evelina made . Shed never forget how Lucian had discarded her nutritious meal for Evelinas soup , his face alight with gratitude . Determined , Lemira pretended not to see and left the dining room . Upon her departure , Lucian watched her go , a sense of loss in his heart . Previously , any sign of discomfort from him would have had Lemira fussing over him in concem . He bore the pain , assuming Lemira no longer concerned about him . It felt as if his heart had been slashed , and he too left the dining room , his steps unsteady . Evelina remained in the dining room , sensing a shift in Lucians attitude towards her . This wouldnt do ; she needed to find a way to mend fences . Back in her room , Lemira thought of Lucians evident pain . She forced herself not to overthink . Lucian didnt need her concem , not with Evelinas soup at his disposal , Pulling out her phone , she messaged Orion . [ Did my brother give you a hard time at school today ? ] The next second , Orion called , his voice cool , I brought out evidence of their bullying and had a lawyer present . What could go wrong ?
