When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 909

The sudden chaos caught everyone completely off guard.

Moving far faster than Evelina, Lemira immediately threw herself to her knees beside Evander. "Evander, what happened? Are you okay? Your stump is bleeding!"

She stared in exaggerated horror at his amputated leg, which was indeed oozing fresh blood.

She quickly snatched the detached prosthetic from the floor. "Evander, this prosthetic doesn't fit you at all! Why are you forcing yourself to wear it? The design is completely flawed—it's mutilating you!"

The moment Lemira said that, reporters surged forward like sharks detecting blood, snapping frantic photos of the gruesome injury.

Lemira immediately began pointing out the fatal structural flaws in the Langston Group's design to the press.

Seeing his entire product launch imploding, Asher lunged forward and violently snatched the prosthetic from her hands. "What kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

"Asher, I am just looking out for him! We're family, right? Would I ever try to hurt you guys?"

Playing the picture of absolute innocence, Lemira seamlessly shoved all of Asher's previous words right back down his throat.

She looked him dead in the eye. "Even if you hate me for it, I have to tell the truth. Your design process was incredibly rushed. It's riddled with defects you never bothered to fix. Look at Evander's injuries! Are you blind?"

Her eyes welled up with tears once again.

She looked down at Evander with profound sorrow. "Your leg has been rubbed completely raw. Don't lie and pretend it doesn't hurt just to protect Asher's business! When this product hits the market, thousands of consumers are going to suffer the exact same bloody injuries. Can you live with that guilt?"

Evander stared at Lemira's tear-filled eyes, completely paralyzed by shock.

Was this the same Lemira he knew?

Had she ever cared this much about his leg recently?

Then it hit him—before she severed ties with the family, she had cared about him endlessly. She had prioritized him over everything.

For the first time in months, Evander remembered how unconditionally she had loved him, and his hostile expression softened significantly. "I was just trying to help Asher!"

"Shut up, Evander!"
