No longer a pushover (Noelle and Cedric) novel Chapter 112

"That's not what I meant. You're not like Xenia. We're siblings, and you're the most important to me," Frank said, coughing up blood.

Noelle sighed and handed him a tissue.

Frank smiled weakly. "I knew you still cared."

Noelle looked out the window, feeling nothing but ironic. In her past life, she had done everything to get her brothers' attention and to be seen and acknowledged.

She gave her all but never got what she wanted. Now that she had let go of that desire, Frank suddenly couldn't let go.

Humans really were pathetic like that.

When they arrived at the hospital, Frank was immediately taken for examination.

Just as Noelle was about to leave, a doctor stopped her. "You're his family, right? Please convince him to take his medication. If he doesn't, his condition could worsen and lead to stomach cancer."

Noelle's expression remained cold. "If he doesn't care about his own health, who else can make that decision for him?"

At that moment, Lucas stormed in with Xenia behind him. "Noelle, how can you say that? Frank ended up like this because of everything he's done for us."

Noelle tossed the medical report at Lucas. "Oh? You love preaching about responsibility. How did you not notice his condition getting worse? You see him every day."

Lucas was caught off guard. "I just didn't notice."

Noelle sneered, "Typical Lucas. Instead of making excuses, maybe convince him to go see a doctor."

With that, she walked out of the hospital.

Lucas seethed with anger. "She's getting more arrogant by the day."

Xenia felt frustrated, too. "Lucas, Noelle's a rising star at Firestorm Entertainment. She's riding high, especially with her gaming skills."

Lucas scoffed. "No matter how skilled she is, she's still part of the Liddell family. I've got her contract. If she pushes me too far, I'll make sure she never succeeds."
