Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 72

Keith almost forgot, but he used to have a crush on Amara when they were kids.

Back then, Amara was as pure as a doll, a particularly beautiful and adorable little girl. From the moment Keith met her, he loved chasing after her, always trying to keep up.

But kids' crushes were never meant to last. Over time, Keith forgot about it, and his memories only picked up again after he turned ten.

It was when Amara was ten that the accident happened. Keith was heartbroken, staying by her side, offering comfort and encouragement, even convincing his dad to use their connections to get her the medical care.

When Amara started getting bullied for her scars, Keith stepped up, fighting off the bullies from elementary school, middle school until high school. He couldn't count how many times he stood up for her.

Later, they went off to different colleges, but their bond remained as strong as ever. They met up often for meals, their friendship unchanged from childhood.
