When They Beg, I Rise!

Orion knew exactly what had happened back then.

After the accident, the driver didn't even try to help; he just fled the scene.

It was Orion who went to check and carried Lemira out from under the wreck.

Lemira looked blankly at the man next to her. Why would he say that?

Lucian frowned and said, "What do you know? After the accident, only Lemmy was found sitting by the roadside, crying. The driver and my parents died in the explosion, and the driver's body was found in front of the car door, clearly he had tried to go back to save others." Lemira knew this was the official narrative from the police investigation.

But why would Orion dispute that?

Facing Lemira's gaze, Orion averted his eyes. "Maybe a passerby helped out?"

He also couldn't figure out why the driver would turn back.

Maybe it was a guilty conscience, but the person was dead, and the reason was unknown.

Lucian insisted, "That's impossible. That road had just opened not long ago; there were no surveillance cameras around, and hardly anyone passed by there."

Lemira said to Orion, "It's a shame I can't remember what exactly happened during the accident, or else I would know who saved me."

She couldn't have ended up sitting safely by the roadside without reason.

Someone must have carried her out from under the car.
