When They Beg, I Rise!

"I just hope everything stays peaceful before the exams. We're all doing this for her own good. What do you think?"

Orion's voice was calm, laced with a hint of arrogance, "You're not in a position to talk to me, and no one can force Lemira to agree. Otherwise, the kind of trouble your company faced before that playoff, it'll happen again." Lucian's face paled, "Was that your doing?"

They were supposed to participate in the competition. But their company ran into trouble at the same time, and both Lucian and Caspian had to miss the competition. Caspian was still stuck there, dealing with the aftermath, unable to return.

Lucian's gaze towards Orion hardened, "Who exactly are you? What are your intentions with getting close to Lemira?"

A school doctor, pulling off something like this? Why would he deliberately get close to Lemira?

Orion's tone was boldly dismissive, "That's none of your business. In any case, nobody can stop Lemira from doing what she wants!"

Lucian's Adam's apple bobbed, "But she'll agree. Though she hit them yesterday, Lemira is a kind-hearted kid."

Orion scoffed, "She was on her period yesterday, she shouldn't have been out in the rain or touch water at all. And what did you do? You think you're worthy of her kindness?" Lucian felt a pang in his chest. What had they done? Alaric had pressured Lemira to give her umbrella to Evelina.

He couldn't rebut a single word and left the infirmary in embarrassment.
