When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 679

Lemira's mind began to race, trying to guess why the old matriarch wanted to see her, though she knew it could only be about one thing.

Either she approved, or she didn't.

And she suspected the latter was far more likely.

Orion frowned immediately. "She's just been injured and needs to rest. I'll go talk to my grandmother."

Lemira looked at him. "Wouldn't that be a bad idea?"

She had heard the old woman's health wasn't good. What if she upset her?

Orion gave her a deep look. "Go tomorrow. I'll go see my grandmother first."

"Okay, fine."

Lemira watched Orion leave the room and rubbed her temples. The affairs of powerful, wealthy families were always complicated.

What did Mrs. Eileen want to say to her?

After thinking it over, she sent a message to her dorm's group chat: "I'm in the hospital. Can you let the school know for me?"

When Stella and Oanice saw the message, they rushed to the hospital.

Lemira was surprised. "What are you two doing here?"

"You said you were injured and in the hospital. How could we not come see you?"

Oanice had even brought a takeout container from the cafeteria with Lemira's favorite food. "I was worried you'd be alone in the hospital with no one to take care of you, so I brought you dinner."

"Thank you, but I don't really have an appetite right now."

Lemira's throat was still bothering her.

Stella was stunned. "How did a fire start so suddenly?"

"I think someone tampered with the equipment, but I'm not sure yet. It's still under investigation."

Lemira looked at Stella and lowered her voice. "There's something I wanted to ask you."

"What is it?"
