Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 941

At the same time, because Keith had saved her at the cost of his own safety, a suffocating wave of guilt and self-blame washed over her.

She pushed the car to its absolute speed limit, desperate to somehow sprout wings and fly him straight to the hospital so the doctors could heal him immediately.

They arrived at Wye General Hospital in record time. Amara rushed Keith into the emergency room, and after a swift examination, the doctor stated that his burns were quite severe and required a minor surgical procedure. She quickly took care of the medical bills and watched helplessly as Keith was wheeled into the operating room.

Outside the operating room, Amara sat on a bench in the corridor, her heart pounding with anxious anticipation.

Before the procedure, she had asked the doctor if there were any major risks, to which he had offered a reassuring smile.

"It isn't a serious operation at all. We're just treating the damaged skin. Honestly, it barely counts as surgery; we just call it that out of habit. You have absolutely nothing to worry about."

With those comforting words, the doctor had taken Keith inside.

The hallway was bustling with activity. Several patients walked past her, supported by their loved ones. Amara bit her lower lip, her fingers curling into tight fists on her lap.

She wasn't entirely sure why she was panicking so much. Keith wasn't in any life-threatening danger, and just as the doctor had assured her, it was a minor procedure with practically zero risk. Yet, her nerves were completely frayed.

It had to be a mixture of profound worry for him and the crushing weight of her own guilt.

After sitting in agonizing suspense for a while, two figures suddenly appeared at the end of the corridor, hurrying in her direction.

Hearing the frantic footsteps, Amara instinctively turned her head and spotted Edith and Nathan West.

Her heart leaped into her throat as she automatically stood up, looking at the approaching couple with a sudden spike of tension.
