When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 767

Hearing Susanna's words, Lemira immediately glanced over with a scrutinizing gaze.

She couldn’t help but wonder silently—could this have something to do with Orion?

Outwardly, however, Lemira remained composed. After all, this sort of thing wasn’t something she could easily discuss.

When Susanna finished her call, her voice was choked with tears—she was clearly rattled.

Watching Susanna so worried, a hint of irony flashed in Lemira's eyes. So, the Sinclair family does know what it's like to lose someone dear.

Yet years ago, it was the Sinclairs who orchestrated that tragic car accident, taking away her own parents.

"Lemira, what are you staring at? My mother will be fine. She’s Mrs. Amanda’s close friend, and the Everhart family will help find her."

Not wanting to appear weak in front of Lemira, Susanna bit out her words in defiance.

Lemira responded coolly, "Are you sure you want to keep wasting time here?"

"Don’t get ahead of yourself, Lemira. My mother will be fine!"

But Susanna was too worried about her mother to argue further. She hurried away, unable to linger.

Lemira watched Susanna’s retreating figure, her eyes growing more contemplative.

Oanice whispered, "Serves them right, doesn't it? The Sinclairs are always so arrogant. It was only a matter of time before they got themselves into trouble."

"Don’t say things like that. If Susanna hears about it, she’ll make trouble for you," Lemira cautioned.

She didn’t want Oanice to get dragged into anything—Susanna already disliked her, and if she heard Oanice’s comment, she’d surely come looking for a fight later.

Oanice nodded quickly. "I know, I’ll be careful next time."

"I’m heading out," Lemira said simply.

Without another word, she walked off campus. As expected, she spotted Orion’s car parked along the curb.

She hurried over, opened the door, and got in.

“This is for you.”

Orion handed her a small, beautifully wrapped bag filled with delicate pastries.

Lemira glanced at it. "You actually made time to get these?"
