Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 201

The next morning, Amara had been planning to order something to eat, but Will beat her to it, bringing over enough food for two. So, she sat down with Finnian to share the meal.

Today, Amara decided to take a break from the shooting set. She wanted to avoid giving Finnian any excuse to accuse her of neglecting him, which he might use as leverage to stall their divorce.

Determined not to give Finnian any ammunition, she stayed in the hospital room all day. If Finnian needed something, she was right there to help. Otherwise, she busied herself with a book.

By afternoon, Liliana made an unexpected appearance.

She entered with a folder in her hands. She nodded at Amara in a casual greeting before walking over to Finnian, her face lighting up with excitement. "Finn, I had my prenatal checkup today."

The words "prenatal checkup" hung in the air, freezing the room for a moment.

Truth be told, since yesterday, it had mostly been just Amara and Finnian in the room. And Finnian had insisted Amara stay as the role of his wife. The events of last night had added an unspoken ambiguity between them.

But Liliana's presence and her news about the prenatal checkup shattered that atmosphere, leaving the room feeling heavy and suffocating.
