The woman leading the pack handed over her business card to Lemira once again, Name’s Debby, save my number. Should you need anything, feel free to ring me up.
Lemira took the card, somewhat surprised by Orion’s swift actions.
He actually managed to snag Caspian’s PR crew for her.
She ventured, But weren’t you guys with Caspian before? How’s he going to manage without you?
Ms. Langston, between you and me, I got assigned to Caspian’s case because I was being sidelined at the firm. They thought they were dumping me with a tough case. But, truth be told, I’d rather be here.
Debby didn’t hold back, For now, you don’t need to entertain any press. Best we wait for the police investigation to wrap up. Maybe take a few days off from school, rest up. By the time you’re discharged, we should have a clearer picture. That was my thinking exactly.
Lemira saved Debby’s contact, Don’t you worry about compensation, I won’t shortchange you.
Debby paused for a moment but didn’t argue.
Clearly, Mr. Everhart was keen on keeping things under wraps, and they weren’t about to blow his cover.
After Lemira had gotten her leave sorted with school, she messaged Janice not to worry. She’d check in on the team’s progress once she was out.
Soon after, Lucian showed up outside her hospital room.
But Debby and her team stopped him in his tracks, Ms. Langston needs her rest, she won’t be seeing anyone.
I’m her brother, Lucian.
I’m aware, but she’s especially not keen on seeing anyone from the Langston family right now.
Debby, now part of Lemira’s PR team, had done her homework on her background, including the not-so-warm relations with the Langstons. Lucian stood by the door, peering into the room, Lemmy, I just came to see how you’re holding up. I know this mess with Caspian isn’t on you. How could Lucian not know the kind of trouble Caspian was capable of? Growing up, Caspian was always the one getting into brawls and trouble. Lemira didn’t even look up, pretending she hadn’t heard.
She knew all too well what the Langstons were like and had no interest in their lip service.
Seeing no reaction from Lemira, Debby

Lucian stubbornly stayed, Lemmy with Caspian’s reputation in tatters, he’s desperate and capable of

alone.
Debby raised an eyebrow, Sir, there are three of us here, alive and kicking. Did you miss us? Lucian pressed his lips together, Who are you?
We’re with TG Group’s PR team, handling everything for Ms. Lemira, including her personal security. You’re just a bunch of hired hands. I’m not comfortable leaving my sister in your care.
That’s when Orion stepped in, Did you forget? Lemira is in this mess because of the Langston family.. You’ve brought her nothing but trouble. You really think you have the right to be concerned?
His presence put the PR team on high alert, ready to face the big boss.
Lucian, with a wry smile, admitted, I know, but this time’s different. Caspian doesn’t play by the rules.
He feared Caspian might try to snatch Lemira from the hospital.
It was entirely within Caspian’s wheelhouse.
Orion’s gaze was icy, Thinking you can take Lemira from this hospital? You’re overestimating the Langstons. Hearing Orion’s voice, Lemira finally approached the door.
She addressed Lucian with a cold tone, Just leave, associating with the Langstons only brings me misfortune! Lucian reached for Lemira’s wrist, Lemmy, I’m on your side this time, I—”
He coughed violently, his hand coming away bloody.
After hastily wiping his mouth, he turned, panicked, I-I should go.
Lemira’s hand hung in mid-air before slowly withdrawing.
But Lucian hadn’t gone far when he collapsed, his face ghostly pale.
