Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 187

Will kept knocking on the door, his voice tinged with urgency. "Mr. Finnian Everly, something's happened to Mr. Kevin Everly!

Lisa called me. She said he just got taken away in an ambulance."

The warmth in the room seemed to evaporate instantly.

Finnian's eyes reddened, but he quickly regained his composure. He rolled off Amara and onto his feet.

Amara, initially flustered and worried, snapped back to reality and sat up immediately.

Finnian stepped onto the floor, barefoot, across the bathrobe and Amara’s clothes strewn about, heading to the closet for a shirt and slacks, slipping into them with swift precision.

Amara got dressed as well, and as she finished, Finnian fastened the last button on his shirt. They exchanged a glance, silent but understanding, and headed for the door together.

"What happened to Grandpa?" Finnian demanded as he opened the door, his expression grim.

Will kept his eyes to the ground, avoiding their gaze. "It seems his blood pressure shot up really high, and then he passed out. They're trying to stabilize him now."

Finnian brushed past Will, striding purposefully out the door, with Amara quickly following. "Is he at the hospital he usually goes to?"

"Yeah, that's the one."

They drove to the hospital in silence, as if the events that had unfolded moments ago were nothing but a distant memory.

At last, they reached the ICU. Looking over, they saw the main members of the Everly family gathered around. As soon as Finnian arrived, they rushed to him, talking over one another to explain the situation, with Amara listening by his side.

Kevin's condition was serious, but not necessarily dire, as long as he could be stabilized. However, the possibility of things going south lingered.
