When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 1006

Her skin was perfectly smooth. There was no jagged scar.

Her fingers trembled slightly before she pulled her hand away, meeting her own gaze in the mirror. "Forget it. Overthinking won't change anything."

She would deal with whatever came her way when the time came.

Once she made up her mind, she pushed the anxiety aside.

She was never going to rely on anyone again. As long as she stayed fiercely independent, no one could destroy her.

The next day, Lemira headed to her dorm.

She spotted a familiar-looking little shopping bag sitting on her desk.

Janice poked her head out from her bunk. "Someone dropped that off for you earlier. Looks like high-end skincare. Is it from your Everhart heir?"

After all, Orion had showered her with lavish gifts before.

Lemira pulled the box out. Sure enough, it was the Regeniskin Advanced Scar Serum Rowan had tried to give her last night.

She wondered if the formula was the exact same one from her previous life.

She twisted the cap off. The moment the scent hit the air, all color drained from her face.

It was the exact same smell.

But in her past life, this serum had only been perfected after months of horrific experiments on her ruined face!

In this life, none of that had happened. How could the serum exist in its finalized form?

For a terrifying moment, Lemira's mind short-circuited into absolute panic.

Stella Waverly walked over. "Lemira, what's wrong? You look like you've seen a ghost."

Janice sniffed the air. "It smells nice. Do you not like it?"

Lemira slammed the jar down on the desk. She grabbed a wet wipe and scrubbed her fingers frantically, glaring at the jar. "No. I don't."

Just the smell was enough to drag her back into the agonizing torture of her past.

"If you don't like it, just toss it."

Janice tightly capped the jar. "But seriously, you look sick. Are you allergic to it? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
