Honestly, she wasn''t even sure why she ended up here. Perhaps, she should have nevere in the first ce.


    The butler was right, with Evelina around, there was hardly a ce for her. Did Lucian not always rave about Evelina''s soup in the past?


    Not long after Lemira left, Lucian returned to his hospital room.


    Noticing the flowers in the trash can by the door, he asked without thinking, "Who''s been here?"


    The butler replied calmly, "Just some nobody. I''ve sent them away so they won''t disturb your rest." Evelina brought over a thermos, "Lucian, try the soup I made. Do you think it''s gotten better?" Lucian tasted it, "Mm-hmm, it''s definitely improved, Eve. You''ve put in a lot of effort."


    Yet, deep down, he couldn''t help but reminisce about the nutritious dish Lemira used to make.


    He had always taken for granted the care and affection from Lemira. Unfortunately, he had be so ustomed to it that he overlooked Lemira''s efforts!


    He had been filled with regrettely, realizing he had done many things that hurt Lemira.


    Seeing Lucian''s reaction, Evelina felt a tinge of difort and said, "Lucian, I''ve got something to tell you. Lemmy has been streamingtely."


    "Streaming to make money?" Lucian felt a pang of difort.


    Lemira should have been livingfortably, without the need to work part-time, let alone stream for cash.


    The streaming world was, after all, a mixed bag.


    Evelina nodded, "Yes, but she joined PixelStage, which is apetitor of ric''s VibeCast. If ric finds out, he''s going to be furious."


    Lucian replied coolly, "Let him be mad. He deserves it for driving Lemmy away!"


    Evelina was taken aback by Lucian''s stance. She had expected Lucian to side with ric, condemning Lemira for joining a rival tform and seemingly opposing their family! She even thought Lucian would confront Lemira, pressuring her to quit streaming.


    That was the oue she had hoped for. But Lucian didn''t react as she had anticipated.Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org.


    Evelina, not wanting Lemira to outshine her, continued, "Lucian,& mean, Lemmy joining PixelStage is practically setting us up for embarrassment! If we could make her quit..."  en


    Lucian cut her off immediately, "Lemmy is free to choose whatever tform she likes."


    Seeing Lucian''s expression, Evelina didn''t press further, not wanting to upset him.


    She was internally panicking. Lucian had truly changed. All her efforts had barely secured her a ce in Lucian''s heart. Yet, Lemira did nothing and still received his forgiveness.

    She would never truly belong to the Langston family! She had to n for herself.


    ---


    Lemira returned to the apartment.


    The housekeeper had timely prepared a meal for one, clearly indicating Orion and Thaddeus wouldn''t be joining for dinner.


    After eating, Lemira logged into her gaming ount to repair some equipment, preparing for the evening''s battle.


    Upon logging in, she quickly received a message. She took a nce; it''s from ric.


    [Who are you, really?]


    Lemira knew she couldn''t keep her secret much longer. But she didn''t intend to keep hiding it, nor did she


    see the need to exshe


    Ignoring the message, she ventured out to run some instance dungeons.


    Perhaps due to her streaming, many knew her ID and sent team invites. Lemira joined one at random.


    During the team formation, she noticed a familiar ID joining - ric''s.


    Soon, ric''s voice came through the team channel, "Got time for dungeons but can''t reply to my message?" His tone was usatory.
