Chapter 683
Looking at the man standing at her door, Lemira felt as if fate was playing a cruel joke on her.
She knew it. A family this powerful would never be that simple.
Lemira quietly got out of bed. The butler thoughtfully pushed a wheelchair forward.
“Thank you, but I don’t need that p>
Lemira followed the butler into the elevator and up one floor, where bodyguards stood watch.
The night was dark outside, and her mind was surprisingly blank.
Lemira arrived outside the intensive care unit and saw the elderly woman lying in the bed, her hair white.
She put on a sterile gown and went inside.
The old woman opened her eyes and reached out a hand to her.
Lemira hesitated for a moment before walking to the bedside, where the woman took her hand.
Seeing that the woman seemed to want to speak, she leaned in closer. “What is it you’d like to say p>
“You truly are a beautiful girl p>
Lemira was a bit taken aback. “Thank you for the compliment,” she murmured.
“I have a gift for you p>
After she spoke, she glanced at the butler at the door.
He handed Lemira a file containing a list of real estate properties, stocks, cash, and shares in the Everhart Group.
Lemira was stunned by the sheer amount of wealth, but she immediately
understood the old woman’s intention.
Why she had wanted to see her alone at night.
She turned back to the woman and said softly, “If you want me to leave Orion, you don’t need to give me all this. You could have just said so p>
“Such an understanding girl. But I don’t have much time left. I can’t watch over you two… cough, cough p>
The old woman started coughing.
Lemira stepped forward and gently patted her chest. “Take your time. I’m listening.” “Child, you are a good girl, but you and Orion are not right for each other p>
Let
The old woman’s eyes reddened. How she wished Lemira wasn’t the girl from the car accident all those years ago, if only that were true, she could rest easy.
Her grandson had been so disciplined and worked so hard for so many years. What was wrong with him finding a girl he loved to be his wife?
Lemira held the woman’s hand. “But I love him p>
At this moment, Lemira couldn’t lie to her.
The woman’s voice was weak. “I am dying. I have only one request: do not be with him. Everything I own can be yours p>
“Grandma Eileen, I can’t promise you that p>
Lemira looked at the old woman. “If you want to break us up, then you’ll have to get better quickly. You know how stubborn Orion is You’re probably the only one he’ll listen to so you have to get well p>
Hearing this, Mrs. Eileen’s eyes filled with tears, and she began to sob. “Oh,
heavens, why are you doing this to me p>
Why are you doing this to my grandson?
Why?
The old woman became agitated, and the monitors beside her began to beep erratically.
The butler rushed out of the room, shouting, “Doctor! Doctor p>
Lemira held her hand tightly. “You have to get better. Otherwise, I won’t leave Orion.
I’ll cling to him and never let go p>
She knew how much Orion cared for his grandmother.
Losing someone you care about is incredibly painful.
She didn’t want Orion to experience that pain. She wanted his grandmother to hold
on for at least a couple more years.
Mrs. Eileen looked at Lemira with immense kindness in her eyes. The girl her grandson had chosen truly was different.
Even after she had said such awful things to Lemira, the girl still wanted her to get well.
Just then, doctors and nurses rushed in, and Lemira was ushered out of the ICU.
She stood outside, watching as the old woman was surrounded by the medical team, her heart in her throat.
The butler stormed over to her. “Ms. Langston, don’t you know she’s been resuscitated many times? How Could you say such things to upset her p>
