Chapter 776 Kareen Gets Evicted From Miles Manor
“You have quite the fire in you. If things go wrong, feel free to take it out on Lyra.”
Kareen blinked, surprised. Then, she whispered something to the doctor, and he nodded before entering
Zachary’s room.
“Follow me,” the doctor coughed, leading Cherise, Damien, and Lyra to the adjacent room.
The room, though small, was clean and tidy, reflecting the meticulous nature of its occupant.
Kareen settled onto the bed, her gaze coolly fixed on Damien and Cherise. “I bet you didn’t expect this, but I’ve been staying here for the past few days. I plan to make this my permanent residence while I take care of Zac.”
As she mentioned Zachary, Kareen’s face darkened. “I never realized how bad things were when he was around. Now, it’s all hitting me like a ton of bricks.”
She took a deep breath, then looked up with a wistful smile, her gaze drifting past Cherise as if searching for something in the distance. “After Aunt Charisa passed away, she left Zac in charge of the Miles family and gave him control of several businesses within the Miles Group. With all that power and responsibility, and with him always protecting me, I could do whatever I wanted in the Miles family. No one dared to oppose me.”
“I indulged in my whims and made unreasonable demands, but no one dared to stop me. But then, two days ago, Dad and Patricia found out about Zac’s car accident and his coma…”
Her eyes grew darker. “They kicked me out of the house, saying I wasn’t a threat anymore without Zac to shield me and that they were tired of my behavior.”
Kareen looked at Damien, “If you have a real plan to get back at those greedy bastards, I’m willing to give Lyra a chance.”
Cherise was taken aback by Kareen’s words.
Looking at the broken woman in front of her, she blurted out, “Your dad and stepmom… they did this to you?”
“Yep,” Kareen confirmed simply.
“But…” Lyra stammered, “This is the best hospital and ward in Ziphon. How are you paying for it after being kicked out of the Miles family?”
Kareen sniffed, turning away, “I sold all my fancy belongings. My brother is the best person ever. Even if I’m broke and abandoned, I want him to receive the best care.”
Lyra’s lips tightened, a flicker of sadness crossing her clear eyes.
In the next moment, she pulled out her wallet, flipped through it, and handed Kareen the only two cards inside. “This is what I’ve saved over the years. It’s not much, but it should cover Zac’s stay here for a while.”
Kareen frowned, “You…”
Tm his fiancee, and it’s my responsibility.” Lyra met Kareen’s gaze, her eyes filled with determination. “I can’t let you bear this burden alone. I have to contribute.”
Lyra smiled and added, “It’s the least I can do. And hey, even if you don’t agree to the whole marriage thing. I’ll still help out.”
After all, this wasn’t the first time Lyra had gone above and beyond for Zac.
Kareen stared at the cards in her hand, momentarily speechless. Eventually, she said, “Thank you.”
The truth was, she could see the depth of Lyra’s love for Zac and the sincerity of her actions.
