When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 44

Alaric came over too, his expression a tangled web of emotions as he looked at Lemira. He didn't have to drop Evelina off at school today, but for some reason, he ended up doing so anyway.

After all, he knew Lemira would definitely be at school today.

He hadn't slept a wink last night. He actually received a restraining order from her. What was all that about?

Seeing Alaric show up didn't surprise Lemira, “Isn't Evelina often out late with you guys, anyway?”

Evelina’s eyes reddened, looking aggrieved, “Lemmy, how could you say that?”

“Lemira, what nonsense are you spouting? Eve is my sister! Apologize to her now!”

Lemira’s gaze was cold, “She started it, I’m just returning the favor.”

Evelina’s voice was shaky with sobs, “I-I didn’t mean it like that, you misunderstood.”

Alaric’s temper, barely contained, flared up again, “Lemira, look at what you've turned into. Weren't you with the school doctor last night? That's the truth!”

Lemira looked at him silently, her gaze tranquil.

After Alaric had spoken, he immediately regretted it, but with so many eyes on him, he didn't offer an explanation.

Lemira found it ridiculous, “That’s none of your business.”

She turned and walked towards the classroom.

“Hold on, what do you mean it’s none of our business? You’re getting too bold, just because you won a spot in the match. Why so gloating?”

Lemira just scoffed, without turning back. Sitting at her desk, she completely ignored everyone outside.

Alaric, watching Lemira’s distant demeanor, felt a fire burning inside him. But he dared not do too much, especially since he was restrained and shouldn’t even be at school.

Seeing the situation, Evelina said intentionally, “Alaric, it’s my fault for asking Lemmy too many questions, making her upset. But I was just worried she’d do something foolish in a fit of anger.”

“I know, you meant well, but she doesn’t appreciate it.”
