When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1034

Orion caught her staring. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Nothing," she quickly averted her eyes. "If you have work to do, go ahead. I'll be fine on my own."

Orion stood up. "Alright, I'll come back when I'm done. Call me if you need anything."

Watching his broad back as he walked out, Lemira let out a long breath.

For a fleeting second, she had desperately wanted to tell him that she remembered everything about the car crash. But the words had caught in her throat.

She pursed her lips. She would find a better opportunity to tell him.

Picking up her phone, she replied to Rowan's message: "I'm fine."

Almost instantly, her phone rang. Seeing Rowan's name, she hesitated before answering. "Hello. What do you want?"

Rowan's voice was remarkably gentle. "Your voice sounds a bit hoarse. Make sure to take some throat lozenges."

"I'm feeling much better now. Thank you for the medication."

Her feelings toward Rowan were incredibly convoluted, but there was no denying that his treatment was the reason she had recovered so quickly.

Hearing her thank him brought a spark of joy to Rowan's end of the line. "You're my sister. There's no need to thank me. It was my duty."

The warmth in Lemira's eyes instantly vanished. "If there's nothing else, I'm hanging up."

She ended the call without waiting for a reply. Rowan seemed to be saying something else, but she didn't care to hear it.

Maintaining strict boundaries was the best way to handle their relationship.

After staying in her room for a bit, Lemira decided to go for a walk to get some fresh air. In the hospital's small garden, she spotted Mrs. Amanda. She was also wearing a hospital gown, sitting alone on a bench, lost in thought.

Lemira paused, contemplating turning around and leaving. Their current relationship was entirely too complicated, and she wouldn't even know what to say.
