Chapter 355
Lemira watched in awe as Orionโs movements unfolded with professional grace. The young man was sent sprawling to the ground, too pained to utter a single word. Seeing one of his well-paying clients getting thrashed, a male trainer grabbed a metal filing cabinet nearby and hurled it towards Orion. Orion reached out to block it, and the trainer lunged at him. Suddenly, the scene erupted into chaos as the trainerโs buddies joined the fray.
Lemira, seeing Orion outnumbered, dashed over to help. But as a girl, even one who had trained in boxing, she found herself at a disadvantage against the natural strength of men.
โStop it, what are you doing?โ
Just then, the gymโs owner rushed over. The boxing coach, seeing Orion in the mix, panicked and swiftly subdued the group. The drama concluded.
The young man, hiding in the back, stood up cursing, โYouโre the boss, right? These two attacked me. How are you going to settle this?โ The trainer and his friends bore visible injuries.
Standing by Orion, Lemira suddenly noticed blood seeping from his arm, her concern evident. โYouโre bleeding.โ
โAre you hurt anywhere?โ
Orionโs first reaction was to check Lemira for injuries, and only after seeing her unharmed did he relax. The gym owner faced the young man, โWeโve had several complaints about you harassing the ladies here. Did you think your actions went unnoticed?โ
The young man felt cornered, โBut it was mutual. You canโt interfere.โ
โWe had surveillance footage of your harassment,โ the owner countered.
โHmph, donโt try to scare me. Iโm definitely calling the police. I lost a tooth!โ The young manโs speech was slurred, his mouth bloody.
โCall the police then. Whoโs afraid?โ
Lemira, after speaking up, took Orionโs hand, โDo you have a first aid kit? His wound needs attention.โ
โWe do. Iโll get someone on it.โ
Orion responded calmly, โItโs nothing.โ
โBleeding and itโs nothing?โ
Lemira led him to a quieter area of the boxing ring. Soon, the boxing coach arrived with a first aid kit, looking nervously at Orion, โMr. Everhart, Iโm sorry I couldnโt intervene sooner.โ
Who would have guessed the Everhart heir would end up in a brawl here and get injured at that. Lemira took the first aid kit, โItโs not your fault. Things escalated quickly.โ
She sat beside Orion, inspecting the cut likely caused by the filing cabinet, just a scratch. Orion glanced at the coach, his gaze icy, โHandle it outside.โ
โYes, sir.โ
The coach hurried out. Lemira reached for the antiseptic, โThis might sting a bit.โ
โJust a scratch,โ Orion remarked, though he paused when the antiseptic touched his skin, his gaze deep, โOn purpose?โ
โOf course not. Cleaning wounds always hurts.โ
Lemira glanced at him, then gently blew on the wound. Orion tensed up, turning his head away, his expression slightly awkward. The gym was quiet, just the two of them. He turned to see her diligently tending to his injury, her focus unwavering.

After she finished, Lemira looked up at him, โI didnโt expect someone as composed as you to flinch from a punch. That was unexpected.โ
Orion, withdrawing his gaze, replied calmly, โI just couldnโt stand his nonsense.โ Usually, he didnโt need to resort to violence. But he admitted to losing his temper, especially hearing that man spread rumors about her; he couldnโt, and didnโt want to, hold back.
He glanced at Lemira, โYou threw punches too, and even knew to lure him where thereโs no surveillance.โ
