When They Beg I Rise (Lemira) novel Chapter 557

Lemira glanced back toward the door, her eyes widening in shock.

It was Evander Langston—he had actually returned.

In her past life, she remembered Evander always staying at Rowan's lab, handling affairs for the pharmaceutical company.

When Evelina saw the man in the wheelchair, her face lit up with joy. She dashed over to him, throwing herself into his arms. "Evander, you're finally back!"

"Yes, I'm back now, and no one can bully you anymore," Evander replied, holding Evelina with a gentle expression.

Evelina spoke softly, "Evander, you're all I have now."

Evander comforted Evelina in a low voice before wheeling himself into the living room, where he stopped in front of Lemira, his expression serious. "What about the promise you made to me before?"

Lemira paused, trying to recall what promise Evander was referring to.

She had promised Evander she would get along with Evelina and take care of her.

Lemira let out a cold laugh, her eyes sharp. "I must have been out of my mind back then."

"Lemira, you owe Evelina a life and me a leg," Evander accused, his voice filled with reproach. "Unless you end up like me, living with a disability, you'll always owe me."

Lemira felt a sharp pain pierce her heart, but she quickly composed herself. "You've got it wrong. Your leg was lost because of the lab fire. The amputation was necessary. How do I owe you a leg?"

"But my leg could have been saved," Evander argued. "You told the doctors to amputate. Now, Rowan's developed a treatment. If my leg had been spared, I'd be cured now."

Lemira found it laughable.

At the time, Evander had been rushed to the hospital, and only she and Evelina were there; the rest of his brothers couldn't make it.
