Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 197

"Finn must have something important to discuss with Ms. Sullivan. After all, they're still legally tied. Go ahead. I'll catch a cab home later. Let Finn know he doesn't need to worry about me."

"Of course, I'll pass on the message, Ms. Porter."

With that, Will turned to Amara with a genuine smile. "Mrs. Everly, shall we?"

Amara hesitated. "What does Finnian want with me?"

"Mr. Everly didn't specify."

"Just hang on a moment."

Amara nodded at Will and stepped aside to call Finnian. After a few attempts, her calls went unanswered. She figured a quick visit to the hospital wouldn't hurt, so she returned to Will and uttered, "Alright, let's go."

In the hospital room, Finnian sat on the bed, engrossed in his tablet with his head down, his phone charging on the bedside table. As Amara walked in, she glanced at his phone and asked, "Mr. Everly, what do you need from me?"

Finnian, his right arm wrapped in a bandage, was holding the tablet with his left hand. He looked up and said, "I need you to come by and help me out for the next few days. You don’t have to stay all day, just drop by twice per day."

Amara blinked. Helping him out? She had assumed Finnian needed to discuss something significant, not to ask her to play caregiver. Feeling a bit indignant, she said, "Mr. Everly, it doesn’t seem appropriate for me to do such personal work. Why not let Ms. Porter help?"

"Having her here would be even more inappropriate," Finnian replied coolly. "We haven't officially divorced, so technically, we're still married. It wouldn’t be right to have others involved."
