She finished her last sip of soy milk, finally letting out a relieved sigh. Setting her cup down, she said, “I’m full. I should be able to get discharged now, right? I really want to leave as soon as possible.”
She didn’t want to stay in the hospital any longer, and she definitely didn’t want to spend any more time with Finnian.
Finnian nodded. “The doctor said you can be discharged. I’ll go handle the paperwork.”
With those words, Finnian left the room to take care of the discharge process, leaving Amara waiting alone.
She'd actually wanted to take care of it herself, but when she tried to get up, Finnian had gently pressed her back down and said, “Just rest. I’ll take care of this. I’ve already spoken with the doctor.”
After saying that, he had walked away without waiting for her response.
Amara didn’t want to accept Finnian’s help, but with his long stride, he had already left the room before she could protest. Feeling somewhat helpless, she could do nothing but sit and wait for him to return.
Before long, Finnian came back, various documents in hand. “We can leave now,” he said, ready to escort Amara out.
At that moment, there was a knock at the door. Finnian went to answer it, but when he saw who was there, his expression instantly turned cold. “What are you doing here?” he demanded.
With his tall frame, Finnian blocked the entrance. Amara, curious, called out, “Who is it?”
Before Finnian could answer, Keith’s distinctive cold laugh sounded. “Why shouldn’t I be here? That’s an odd question, Mr. Everly. In fact, I was just about to ask why you’re here.”
Keith pushed past Finnian, striding confidently into the room. As soon as he saw Amara, his tone softened.
“I heard what happened from Elysia. How could you go through something like this and not tell me?” The reproach was clear in his voice.
