When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1103

Orion had always been rather wary of Rowan. He felt an inexplicable sense of danger from the man, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

"Still looking into it. The staff turnover at The Aether Research Facility isn't high, and many have signed a Non-Disclosure Agreement. They don't know much beyond their specific tasks. The internal management of the facility is quite strange too."

Orion put out his cigarette. "Keep digging. Don't let your guard down. With enough time, we'll definitely uncover something."

"Got it. I'll arrange for a few people to get jobs at the facility as plants. After a while, we'll naturally figure out what secrets are hidden in there."

After saying that, Thaddeus looked a little worried. "But your mother's treatment isn't finished yet, and the trial is over. Rowan will probably head back to The Aether Research Facility soon. Are you going to send your mom to the facility then?"

"No."

Orion's tone was resolute. "I won't let her go to that facility until I know exactly what kind of place it is."

"I figured as much. Anyway, better to make plans early."

Orion nodded. "I know what I'm doing. Since we know about the poisoning, the hospital here will find a way to treat it."

It couldn't be that only the people at the facility knew how to cure it.

Perhaps the research there was indeed a step ahead of the outside world, but with enough time and money, they could definitely find a way to detoxify her.

Orion didn't trust Rowan.

...

After Lemira got into the car, Stella handed her a bouquet of flowers.

Stella smiled and said, "Congratulations."

Lemira took the flowers. "Thank you."

"Janice is decorating the apartment, so I came to pick you up."

Lemira smiled. "Thank you all for staying by my side through all of this."

"Don't be silly. We're your friends, how could we not be there for you?"

"Rowan, what crazy talk is that? Time can't flow backward, and there's no way to put things 'back on track.' We just need to carefully make it up to Lemira."

Rowan stared at the apartment lights upstairs and didn't say another word in response.

The more impossible something seemed, the more he wanted to try.

In this life, he would definitely make it happen.

...

Lemira returned to the apartment. Janice had already decorated the living room and even set up a brazier right by the front door.

Janice explained, "My mom said you have to step over a brazier to burn away all the bad luck. It's all a fresh start from now on."

Lemira looked at the brazier and stepped right over it.

Walking into the living room, Lemira was surprised to see quite a few gifts arranged on the sofa. "Did you guys prepare all of this?"
