When They Beg, I Rise!

Chapter 442

Orion stepped aside to take a call, returning to Lemira's side with a decision in mind. "I've got to head to the office to sort out some stuff. I'll be back for dinner. What are you in the mood for?" "I'm craving the signature dish from Bistrova. Can we get takeout from there?"

"If that's what you want, I'd pluck the stars from the sky to stir-fry them for you."

Lemira burst into laughter. Was he really making jokes like this?

Orion pinched her cheek gently. "There's that smile. Don't go around with a long face. It adds years."

Her cheeks warmed at his touch. "You better get going. I'll be fine on my own."

He gave her a long, deep look before turning to leave.

Around the corner, he spotted his PR team waiting. "Make sure Bistrova delivers her meals while she's in the hospital."

Debby nodded eagerly. "Of course, Mr. Everhart. Consider it done."

After Orion left, Lemira found herself alone in the small garden, watching ants move their colony, the sky looking like it was on the brink of a thunderstorm. Soon after, Lucian woke up.

Lemira entered his room. "Your condition's gotten worse. The doctor recommends more tests and to proceed with the surgery sooner."

"I know my condition. I had the surgery scheduled, but then this happened. With Asher away on business, I couldn't just ignore it."
