When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 949

Lemira stared at Lucian, stunned. "What did you just say?"

Orion saved her?

"Yeah. You said he was in the back of the car, right? Based on how the crash happened, if Evelina's dad didn't pull you out of the wreckage, then the only other person there was Orion."

Lucian looked at her earnestly. "Think about it. We know for a fact Evelina's dad took the fall for the crash but didn't save you. That leaves only one logical answer. Plus, Orion clearly despises the Sinclairs. It makes perfect sense that he pulled you out."

Hearing his logic, fragmented pieces of her old dreams rushed to the forefront of her mind.

She had dreamed about Orion saving her from the burning wreckage.

At the time, she had brushed it off as just a wishful fantasy brought on by her feelings for him.

But now, it was starting to look like the absolute truth.

When she found out he had been lying to her two days ago, her mind had been too clouded by betrayal to connect the dots.

Now, hearing Lucian break it down, a cold clarity washed over her.

Yes. Orion was the only one who could have saved her.

"Did he never mention it to you?" Lucian asked hesitantly.

Lemira shook her head. "He never said a word."

Even last night, when she kicked him out, he hadn't used it as leverage.

Was it really him?

Lucian frowned in confusion. "That doesn't make any sense. If you already knew he was in the car, why would he hide the fact that he saved your life?"

Lemira lowered her eyes, remaining silent.

Seeing her distress, Lucian gently shifted the topic. "Do you remember anything else about the crash?"

"No. Sometimes I get flashes of it in my dreams, but none of it makes sense together."

"Then don't force it. The important thing is we know who orchestrated it, so we don't need to stress over the missing details."

Lucian nudged her gently. "Come inside and eat. The chef made all your favorites."

Lemira didn't really know where else to go. She hated being here, but eating a real meal sounded marginally better than going back to an empty apartment and ordering delivery again.

She walked back into the dining room. True to Lucian's word, the table was covered with dishes she loved.

Evelina waddled into the room, took one look at the spread, and scowled. "I hate all of this."
