After fleeing the Everly Group HQ, Amara headed straight back to her villa.
Still refusing to accept defeat, she dialed every single clinic in Wye equipped to handle a late-term abortion procedure.
She intended to secure an appointment over the phone before going in for the operation. Yet, the second she provided her name and ID, the receptionists panicked, claiming they had zero available beds and no doctors on staff. Then, they hung up on her instantly.
The blatant coordination left her completely dumbfounded, only fueling her burning rage toward Finnian.
He had moved frighteningly fast. It hadn't even been that long, yet he had managed to lock down every single facility.
It seemed without his explicit permission, securing a safe procedure in Wye was genuinely impossible. What on earth was she supposed to do now?
Lost in her frantic thoughts, her phone buzzed. She glanced at the screen—it was Keith West.
Amara answered the call. "Hello?"
"Ama, did you get the procedure done?" Keith asked gently. "How are you feeling?"
The moment she saw his name, she knew he was calling to check on her. She let out a heavy sigh. "I couldn't get it done."
"Why not?" he asked, sounding genuinely surprised.
Amara rubbed her temples. "It's a long story. I'll tell you when we see each other next."
It wasn't something easily explained over a call. Besides, she was still so furious that talking felt exhausting. She just wanted to hang up.
But Keith pressed on, "Where are you right now? I'm coming over. I just finished my shoot."
