When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 172

Why did he have to come here instead of staying in Orvin? And he had the nerve to pick a fight with Orion. He must be tired of living.

Dorian froze completely when he recognized the familiar voice. He instinctively looked at the masked man standing in front of him.

That voice sounded exactly like his cousin; could it be Thaddeus?

"What's going on here?"

Just then, Alaric came down from the private room upstairs and saw Dorian on the ground with shattered glass bottles nearby.

Alaric immediately went over to help Dorian sit up, "You alright?"

"Not really, it hurts like hell."

Dorian had wanted to play the tough guy, but that kick to his chest had left him breathless. Now, each breath he took was a painful reminder, making him wonder if he had broken a rib.

Evelina saw Dorian turning pale and started to panic, "Alaric, what do we do now?"

"We need to get him to a hospital, what else? Who did this?"

Evelina turned her gaze to Lemira, "The school doctor over there, he went too far."

Alaric looked up at the masked Lemira and recognized her immediately. He walked over and lowered his voice, "Lemira, do you have any idea who Dorian is? Him getting hurt because of you is going to bring trouble to us."

"But Dorian was the one who started it. Even if we go to the police, we're not in the wrong."

Lemira was visibly annoyed. She was originally looking for fun, but encountered that fake angel, which was never a good sign.

Alaric then faced Orion directly, "It was you who laid hands on him, right? You better be ready to face the wrath of the Draven family yourself. Be a man and don’t drag my sister into this!"
