When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1007

The little jar of Regeniskin sat there like Pandora's box.

She was too terrified to even touch it.

"Lemira, are you okay? Your hands are freezing," Stella said, gripping her fingers tightly.

Lemira looked up at Janice. "Throw it away."

"On it."

Though it physically pained Janice to throw away something so ridiculously expensive, she shoved the jar back into the bag, ready to chuck it in the trash.

If it caused Lemira this much distress, it belonged in the garbage.

"Wait."

Lemira's face was still pale, but she stopped her friend. "Don't throw it out yet."

Janice paused. "Is there some crazy backstory to this? You look like you absolutely despise it."

"I do," Lemira admitted.

Lemira turned to Stella. "You have that massive surgical scar on your leg, right? If you use this, it'll fade significantly. You'll finally be able to wear cute dresses and shorts again."

Stella froze, then shook her head rapidly. "No way. Even if the scar fades, I'd never have the guts to wear stuff like that."

"Why not? I'm designing custom orthotics for you. Once they're done, no one will even notice a difference."

Lemira squeezed Stella's hand. "Don't refuse to use it just because of me. My hatred for this serum has nothing to do with how well it works."
