Chapter 8 Lemiras eyes widened in disbelief as she stared at the sharp tongue school doctor in front of her . Was he actually speaking up for her? Did he believe her ? Tears welled up in Lemiras eyes . Even a stranger understood what her brothers couldnt grasp . Or maybe they did understand but chose to favor Evelina over her , refusing to see the truth . Evelinas face froze , her teeth clenched in frustration . What did the doctor mean ? Didnt he hear she intended to fetch lunch for Lemira though she was sick ? Why wasnt he moved by her seemingly kind act , instead choosing to defend Lemira ? No way . Her tactic always worked before . Evelina couldnt utter a word , her head drooping in feigned sorrow . Caspian stepped forward to defend Evelina , Eve came to class despite being sick because exams are less than 100 days away . She didnt want to fall behind . Shes just trying to mend fences with Lemira , but someone just dont appreciate it . mira found it all very ironic . This morning , Caspian had reminded her to take good care of Evelina , to wait on her hand and foot . And doing all that didnt interfere with her studies ? So , he was aware that exams were just around the corner . It was just that her exams were not as important as Evelinas . Lucian intervened , Caspian , take Eve home to rest . Lucian ! Are you not listening to me now ? Caspian fell silent and left with Evelina . The infirmary quieted down . Lucian frowned , Lemmy , if you dont wanna take care of Evelina , fine . But dont ever do something like this again . Lemira kept her head down , her throat tight , not wanting to say a word . She pulled the blanket over her head . She didnt want to see them anymore . Lemira , if you keep this up , I cant protect you anymore , Lucians patience was wearing thin . He pulled the blanket away , Come home with me . We need to talk . He needed to talk about it with Lemira today . Evelina couldnt keep getting hurt like this . Orion held back Lucian , his gaze icy , She cant leave until shes finished her drip . Family members , please wait outside ! Orions imposing stance left no room for argument . Lemira looked up , stunned by his commanding presence as he stood in front of her brother . She noticed a stark , ugly scar on his wrist , similar to one she had on her leg from a childhood car accident . Had he also been in a car accident ? Lucian , unyielding , retorted , Im her brother . Im taking her home . We have doctors there . So why did you let her fever go untreated for so long since there are doctors ? Lucian , seeing Lemiras pale face , felt a twinge of guilt but defended , She didnt tell us she was sick . He had even tried to check her temperature that morning , but she had dodged his hand . Was that his fault ? Perhaps Lemira was deliberately neglecting her health to avoid responsibility . Orions tone was stern , Sir , if you attempt to take her by force , I will call the police and report you for child abuse . According to the law , if a child is a victim of domestic violence , they can request a restraining order . Im her brother , her legal guardian ! But just now , I witnessed you hit her , committing violence , with surveillance cameras as evidence . I believe the officers will make a fair judgment . Orion remained calm yet unyielding , She doesnt want to go with you . You have no right to force her. Lemiras heart fluttered , her gaze sneakily admiring the man who stood protectively in front of her . Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
