Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 190

Her cheeks were burning, and she felt like the more she tried to explain, the worse it got. Sometimes it was best to just let things be.

Finnian watched her, noticing the slight redness in her eyes.

Amara usually wore a mask, so people couldn’t easily tell when she was blushing. But she had a tell—when she blushed, her eyes turned red and she’d nervously glance down, looking adorably shy.

So, what did her face look like now? Probably as red as a ripe strawberry.

For some reason, Finnian felt a strange flutter in his chest.

He stepped closer, leaning in to whisper in her ear. “Why do you have the feeling? I’m not even tired yet.”

Amara felt her face grow even warmer. The conversation was veering into territory she wasn’t comfortable with. She quickly turned away, saying, “It’s not because of that…”

These kinds of explanations only made things messier, Amara decided it was best not to continue. She thought about finding an excuse to leave and take a breather.

Just then, a nurse walked in softly saying, “Mr. Finnian Everly, Ms. Sullivan, Mr. Kevin Everly is awake.”

...

The subtle ambiguity in the air slowly dissolved.

Amara and Finnian exchanged a glance and returned to the hospital room together.

...

Inside, the Everly family members were gathered around, asking about Kevin’s condition.

Lying in the hospital bed, Kevin looked a bit pale and his voice was weak, but he seemed much better than before.

He was speaking with some effort, and when Amara and Finnian entered, he reached out a hand toward them.

The gesture was instinctive, and Amara hesitated, unsure if she should approach.
