When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 358

Not long after, the dean came over with his medical kit in hand, noticing Orion was not alone but accompanied by a girl, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, "Is this your girlfriend who got hurt this time?"

Lemira pursed her lips in response, "I'm not his girlfriend."

Orion glanced at her and then firmly took her hand, "She's injured."

After examining the wound on Lemira's hand, the dean chuckled, "That scratch? You'd heal up even if you came in later."

Lemira's cheeks flushed with embarrassment, "It's his arm that's injured, cut by a metal locker, needs a tetanus shot."

She shifted to show the dean Orion's arm wound.

The dean's demeanor changed upon seeing Orion's injury. After a thorough check, he administered the tetanus shot to Orion.

Then, looking at Lemira, he teased Orion, "Playing the hero and still getting hurt, kinda embarrassing, huh?"

Orion, known for his boldness, seemed much more restrained today, especially in front of a young lady.

Quite the rare sight.

Feeling slightly embarrassed after getting the shot, Orion took the antiseptic from the kit to clean Lemira's wound, which stung a bit.

Lemira winced, and Orion raised an eyebrow, "Does it hurt?"

She knew he was also teasing her on purpose.

The dean coughed, "Alright, you got the shot, now off you go. Don't loiter around here. I'm old, my blood sugar's high, can't stand all this sweet nonsense."

Orion put down the antiseptic and took Lemira away from the hospital.

Lemira looked at him, "You know that doctor?"

"Yeah, I know him."

Suddenly, Lemira asked, "Orion, are you rich?"

Orion paused, his gaze fixed on her, trying to discern her thoughts but to no avail.

He asked tentatively, "Why do you ask?"

"This is a private hospital, owned by the Everhart family, a prominent name. Only people of certain status come here. And you know the dean so well."

Lemira found it a bit strange.

Orion coughed, "I used to be a doctor, isn't it normal to know people from the same field?"

Then it dawned on Lemira that he used to be a doctor, though just a school doctor.

"Why did you become a school doctor at a high school then?"
