When They Beg, I Rise!

Lemira looked up to see the man standing in front to protect her, and her heart skipped a beat. Her emotions were like a roller coaster, full of ups and downs.

She noticed Orion seemed calm, as if the commotion in the dance hall had never happened. But Lemira couldn't find that calm.

Evelina recognized Orion's voice and said, surprised, "Lemira, I can't believe you're actually with the school doctor."

There was a hint of joy in Evelina's heart.

After all, her boyfriend was a Draven. And Lemira's boyfriend? Just a humble school doctor, never to match her boyfriend's status.

Lemira, blushing, hurriedly said, "Evelina, stop talking nonsense. We're just friends."

She had just faced rejection. Why did Evelina have to bring it up now?

"Lemira, no need to hide it. There have been rumors about you two, and then you ran away from home to live with him. Who would believe there's nothing between you?" Dorian raised his voice, "Lemira was living with another man?"

A hint of smile sparkled in Evelina's eyes, "Yes, and you didn't believe me when I told you earlier."
