When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 588

Janice nodded, "Good idea, it's almost noon. How about we grab some lunch together?"

Lemira got up to wash up and change before heading out.

But then Stella chimed in, "Mind if I join you guys for lunch?"

Lemira didn't mind. She glanced at Janice, and they both nodded in agreement.

Stella breathed a sigh of relief, grabbed her cane, and followed them downstairs.

Lemira turned to Janice, "Why don't we head to the campus cafeteria? It's closer."

Stella wasn't exactly nimble on her feet, and a long walk might be uncomfortable for her.

The three of them made their way to the cafeteria for lunch.

Janice glanced toward the school gate, "That car's still there."

Lemira followed her gaze and immediately recognized Orion's car. She was surprised he was still waiting outside the school.

Checking her phone, Lemira noticed several messages from Orion, all asking if she was awake and if she wanted to join him for lunch at Bistrova.

She replied, "I'm up, but I've got classes today, so I can't make it."

As soon as she sent the message, her phone rang.

Janice suggested, "Maybe you should take the call and explain."

Lemira stepped into the corridor to answer. Orion's deep, husky voice came through, "Are you feeling alright? Bistrova's hangover soup works wonders. I can bring some over."

"No need to trouble yourself. I'm fine now," Lemira replied, her tone a bit distant.

Orion rubbed his temples, "Lemira, I had something come up last night and couldn't get back to you. I'll make sure to let you know in advance next time."
