When They Beg, I Rise!

On the other end of the phone, Lucian let out a long sigh.

"It's not going to be that easy, you know. Lemon is genuinely hurt."

He had tried to please Lemira during this period, but to no avail. Today, Lemira even left the dining room and hadn't returned home or responded to any messages.

If it was in the past, he would have sent someone to find her, even threatening to call the police. But now, Lucian was afraid of making Lemira angry, so he had no choice but to wait for her to reach out. Above all, he was wary of that mysterious school doctor. No wonder they couldn't find Lemira before.

Alaric didn't buy it, "Lucian, Lemira has been close to us since we were kids. We're her favorite brothers, aren't we? I believe if I just explain the misunderstandings and sweet-talk her a bit, everything will be fine." Lucian frowned, "Stay away from her until her exams are over."

"I know my limits."

Alaric hung up directly, confident in how to please Lemira.

He simply hadn't wanted to make the effort before. A piece of cake. Alaric pulled out his phone and sent Lemira
