When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 47

It almost seemed like she thought Orion had a thing for her.

Holding her phone, Lemira found herself reminiscing about her online relationship from a past life.

To be precise, it was unrequited love since she never confessed her feelings, and he never hinted at liking her either.

But his presence had been a faint light in her otherwise dim and sorrowful life, offering her warmth throughout.

This felt eerily similar to how Orion made her feel. Yet, she couldn't shake off the uncertainty about whether Orion was indeed the person from her past life.

Orion's slender fingers twitched slightly, "Stepping in when seeing injustice is just what I do, does it need a reason? I mean, if I see an old lady trying to cross the street, I'd help her across without a second thought."

Lemira managed a smile, but a sense of loss lingered deep within. She tried to keep the mood light, "After my exams, I'll officially be moving out of the Langston mansion."

"Feel free to move in next door!"

After hanging up, Lemira felt surprisingly uplifted as she took her shower and even practiced a set of exam questions before bed.

The final mock exam was just around the corner.

She was eager to see how much she had improved and whether she stood a chance at getting into Orvin University! Being in the top ten of her school would likely secure her a spot.

The next day, Lemira went about her usual school routine.

She noticed Evelina bringing a bowl of soup to Lucian, placing it beside him, "Lucian, the butler told me you weren't feeling well, so I made you some soup. It should help you feel better."

Evelina also made sure to show off a burn on her hand.

At the sight of this, Lucian's heart softened, "You got hurt? You didn't have to do this, let the servants handle it next time."

"Lucian, you do so much for us, for this family. It's the least I can do."
