When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 420

"If the person inside the car wasn't driving, then who was?"

It's the driver who's supposed to be at fault for running a red light.

Lucian nodded, "You're not wrong. But the fact that the guy ran away makes me doubt. Why would he run if he wasn't driving?"

Lemira found herself agreeing.

Why run unless you've got something to hide?

Frowning, Lemira said, "But I can't remember anything from that night, and I have no clue if the culprit was the driver. Are you all disappointed in me?"

It was her birthday, and her parents had forgotten to buy a cake.

So, she threw a fit about wanting cake, leading her parents to take a newly opened shortcut to save time, which then led to the accident.

"Indeed, we are disappointed,"

Asher pushed open the hospital room door and entered, followed by Caspian and Alaric.

Lucian's expression changed, "Asher, what are you doing here?"

"Lucky I came, or else how would I know Lemira has the audacity to ask such questions?"

Asher glared at Lemira coldly, "Caspian let it slip, and you think catching the culprit will absolve you? Will it bring our parents back?"

Tears welled up in Lemira's eyes instantly.

Stepping in front of Lemira, Lucian said, "Asher, that's too harsh. She was just a kid; how is any of this her fault?"

"Yeah, Asher, Lemira might be a bit rebellious now, but if we guide her, she'll understand," Caspian chimed in, trying to smooth things over. "No matter what, we can surely teach her."

"Hmph, I can't teach her. She's grown too big for her boots now," Asher retorted with sarcasm.

Caspian looked at Lemira with a half-smile, "You're at fault here. Back then, you made such a big mistake, and we all covered for you, bearing this pain. Asher moved to Orvin to track down the culprit, but what did you do?

You nearly bankrupted Asher's company!"

Lemira fought back her tears.
