Under the Veil I Rule (Amara) novel Chapter 947

However, he also recognized that having a massive family blowout in front of outsiders was incredibly poor form. Keith was right to ask them to step out.

Suppressing his own fury, he took Edith by the arm and muttered under his breath, "Let's go. We'll deal with him later. Now isn't the time."

With that, he practically dragged his fuming wife out of the room.

Once they were gone, the attending doctor—who had been trying very hard to blend into the wallpaper—quickly made his exit as well, tactfully pulling the door shut behind him.

The room instantly fell silent, leaving only the three of them behind.

The moment they were alone, Amara rushed forward, leaning over the bed to get a closer look at his bandages.

"How bad is it really? Are you in a lot of pain? Why... why did you jump in front of me like that?"

Her voice was choked with intense self-blame and raw guilt.

While his parents were in the room, she hadn't dared to show too much emotion, forcing herself to keep her questions brief and polite.

Now that the coast was clear, she let her guard down, her panic and deep concern finally spilling over.

Keith was absolutely thrilled by her frantic worry, grinning so wide his cheeks hurt.

Predictably, Finnian's expression morphed into a storm cloud, his aura radiating pure, unadulterated hostility.

Completely ignoring the icy glare boring into his skull, Keith focused entirely on Amara. "I'm seriously fine. It looks worse than it is. It's going to scar, yeah, but it's on the back of my neck, not my face. It won't mess with my shooting schedule. Give it two or three months, and I can just laser it off. Stop stressing."

He loved the attention, but he genuinely didn't want to see her tear herself apart over him, so he quickly downplayed the severity.
