When They Beg, I Rise!

Even the world of live streaming was booming now, she definitely didn't need to dip into family funds anymore.

Alaric stumbled through the door, tipsy from the night's escapades. "Lucian, you're watching her stream too! She knows exactly who I am, yet she's been stringing me along the whole time! Does she even care about me?" Lucian offered a wry smile in response. "You've only got yourself to blame, man. How did you treat her back then? We've totally crushed her; that's why she won't go back home."

"But I apologized to her, what more does she want? Lucian, I feel so choked up about it!"

Alaric was struggling with his feelings.

"Alaric, if you truly wanna make amends with Lemmy, you gotta change your attitude towards her, treat her better!"

It was only now that Lucian realized how much he had overlooked Lemira in the past.

"Have we not been good to her? Lucian, you've been in the hospital these past few days and she didn't even bother to visit you once. With her cold-heartedness, how does she expect us to be kind to her?" Alaric, drunk and disoriented, slumped to the floor, mumbling incoherently.

Lucian watched the live stream, feeling a sense of helplessness wash over him.

Because Lemmy was hurt, she couldn't bring herself to visit him.

This was his karma.
