When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 164

Lemira blurted out, "I wanna hit a bar tonight."

"Sure thing."

"No way."

Lemira instinctively turned to Orion, her eyes shimmering with a hint of anticipation.

After a moment of silent communication, Orion caved, "Why the sudden urge to hit a bar?"

Lemira's voice was tinged with longing, "Never been to one, so I wanna check it out."

Truth be told, she had never set foot in a bar in this life.

In her previous life, she had visited a bar once, but it left her with a psychological scar. This time around, she wanted to face her fears, to dispel the shadows lingering in her heart.

Thaddeus playfully slapped Orion on the chest, "Aw, come on, why be such a party pooper, you tyrant, you meanie!"

Orion's lips twitched, "You better zip it, drama queen!"

Lemira couldn't help but laugh until her stomach hurt. She was genuinely enjoying her life now.

However, she received a message from Lucian soon after. [Lemon, the results are out. How did you do? Did your score get affected?]

Lemira scoffed at the message. Clearly, Lucian was aware of the stationery incident and its potential impact on her exam performance.

So, nobody was a fool here; it was just that some choose to feign ignorance.

Breaking her usual pattern, Lemira replied; [What do you think?]

[Sorry, Lemmy, what do you want as compensation? I’m here for it. Even if you want to take a gap year, I’ll be by your side every day.]

Lucian, with a stern face, walked over, "Alaric, are you taking pleasure in someone else's misfortune? Lemmy is our sister. How does her doing poorly benefit you?"

"Lucian, that wasn't my intention. I was just trying to comfort Eve."

"Comforting Evelina doesn't mean you have to put Lemmy down, does it?"

After being reprimanded, Alaric realized his mistake and mumbled, "Got it. Won't happen again. But what about Lemira?"

Lucian's expression was grim expression, "What do you think? Anyone would be upset in her place. This is all my fault!" He hadn't managed the situation well.

Evelina, feigning concern, added, "Lucian, if Lemmy feels bad about her scores and wants to take a gap year, I can do it with her. After all, we're family, and we should progress together. But given Lemmy's desire to leave the Langston family, I doubt she'll consider it."

Lucian frowned, "That's not up to her. I'll personally see to it that she takes a gap year, taking care of everything for Lemmy until she re-sits the exam."

This could also be a chance to mend his relationship with Lemira.
