When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1090

At that moment, Evelina's body was wheeled out into the hall, covered completely by a stark white sheet.

Staring at the lifeless form, Lemira felt completely detached from reality.

In her past life, she had prayed for Evelina to die with every breath she took.

When her brothers had thrown her onto the streets with nothing, Orion was the one who secretly gave her enough money to escape and start a new life.

But she had been too consumed by vengeance. She went back to confront Evelina, only to be dragged away by Asher and locked in a psychiatric ward.

And now, in this life... Evelina was dead.

Rowan stepped up next to Lemira, staring down at the covered corpse with absolute apathy. "She deserved to die."

Lemira subconsciously reached her hand out toward the sheet, but Rowan caught her wrist.

He frowned slightly. "Don't look. Dead people look ugly. It'll just traumatize you."

Lemira slowly let her hand fall to her side.

She watched as the orderlies wheeled the body away. "What about the baby? A boy or a girl?"

"A boy," the nurse confirmed before hurrying off.

Lemira turned to Lucian. "What are you planning to do with him?"

Lucian didn't even hesitate. "Send him to an orphanage."

Lemira thought for a moment. "He's most likely Dorian's. Run a DNA test quietly. If he is a Draven, hand him over to their family."

With Evelina dead, the premature baby's best chance at a decent life was being raised by the wealthy Draven family.

Asher looked confused. "Why are you so sure it's Dorian's?"

"I'm not sure. That's why I said run a test."

Asher waved his hand dismissively. "There's no need. If it's not Evander's, it has to be Dorian's."
