When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 214

Asher's eyes were a fiery red, "If only we knew what Lemira would turn into, Eve's dad should have saved our parents first, not her!"

The scene of the accident years ago seemed to flash through Lemira's mind. She could barely stand, leaning heavily against the door frame, the details of that day eluding her. Her heart felt like it was in a vice, making it hard to breathe. In a fit of anger, Asher threw off his jacket, "Lemira, you always think we favor Evelina, but we took her in for you, to make up for what happened. You not only caused our parents' death but also Evelina's dad's. If you want to leave, then so be it!" With those words, Asher turned and left via the elevator.

"Asher, come back!" Lucian was both anxious and angry, turning to Lemira, "Lemmy, Asher's just blowing steam, don't take it to heart."

Lemira was visibly shaken. Orion stepped forward, supporting her on the shoulder, his gaze filled with concern, "You okay?"

Lemira shook her head, her voice hoarse as she asked Lucian, "I can't remember what happened that day of the crash. Did I really cause our parents' death?"

"No, it wasn't your fault. It was an accident, the other driver ran a red light and hit our parents' car. They're the real criminal!"

Orion's pupils constricted at the mention of the criminal, a sharp pain spreading from his gaze.

Lemira was skeptical, "But Asher didn't make it sound that way."
