Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 781

Elysia squeezed her hand tightly. “Now that you finally see him for who he really is, don’t waste another second on that bastard.”

“You’re absolutely right. He and Dorian are two of a kind—birds of a feather flock together, that’s why they’re so close.”

Elysia’s voice was rising with emotion, so Amara interjected gently, “Ely, let’s not think about them right now. You just had the procedure—you need to rest. Come on, lie down for a bit.”

Elysia nodded, letting Amara help her settle back onto the bed.

Amara planned to sit with her for a while; she knew Elysia must be feeling awful, and honestly, she felt pretty terrible herself. It was good for both of them to have each other right now.

Just then, the hospital room door swung open. Dorian stormed in, breathless, demanding, “Elysia, did you really have the baby terminated?”

His eyes were rimmed red with anger, his face full of disbelief. He stood at the bedside, staring at Elysia as if he couldn't comprehend what he was hearing.

Elysia hadn’t expected Dorian to show up so quickly, but she wasn’t surprised either—he was well-connected, probably even had someone at the hospital keeping him informed.

She didn’t so much as flinch. “Yes, I did. Is there a problem?”

Her calm reply struck Dorian like a bolt of lightning.

He stared at her, eyes widening with shock, his hands and even his whole body starting to tremble.

He lurched forward, grasping the bed rail, his voice low and trembling with anger. “Elysia, how could you be so heartless? That was our child, our own flesh and blood! How could you do this—how could you get rid of him…”

Divorcing him was one thing, but to end the pregnancy without a word? The pain tore through him; he felt on the verge of losing control.
