When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 73

Lemira stood there, her figure slender and her expression serene.

"Yes!"

"Alright, alright!"

Without a second thought, Alaric yanked out Evelina's IV and scooped her up, "We're leaving, we're not staying here to get treated."

Evelina, silently wrapping her arms around Alaric's neck, couldn't help but feel a bit smug.

As Alaric approached the door, he saw the pouring rain outside and realized his umbrella was laughably small.

He glanced at Lemira's large umbrella and declared righteously, "Give me yours. You can manage with a small one."

Lemira couldn't help but laugh, "Why should I?"

"Eve's sick because of you. It's only right you give up the umbrella."

Orion, with a frosty look, stomped on the small umbrella Alaric had kicked over, crushing it.

"When she considered you brothers, you had the right to make any requests. But now that she doesn't, what do you think you are?" Orion's expression was icy.

Alaric was fuming, "Lemira, do you have to make things difficult for everyone? Getting involved with some guy and causing trouble at home?"

Lemira didn't respond, simply walked over to Alaric, her eyes clear and determined. She opened the umbrella, shielding the interior from the rain.

Alaric was stern, "If you come to your senses now, it's still not too late! That school doctor is bad news, he's up to no good!"

The next second, Lemira slapped him. The slap left Alaric stunned.

Had it not been for the pain on his face, he might have thought he was dreaming. Holding Evelina, he couldn't dodge, but he hadn't expected Lemira to actually hit him!

Seeing this, Evelina quickly spoke up, "Lemmy, how could you hit Alaric? If you don't want to swap umbrellas, fine, but you can't hit—ah!"

Lemira slapped Evelina too. And then, silence fell.

Her eyes showed a hint of red, her voice indifferent, "I did it, so what? You can criticize me, but not him!"
