Chapter 279

The handsome face looking down at her seemed to belong to Finnian, but Amara just couldn't wrap her head around the idea that Finnian would risk his life to save her.

But from what Dorian was saying, could it really have been Finnian who braved the flames to rescue her yesterday?

"How's Finnian?" Amara asked immediately. "Was it really him who saved me yesterday?"

"Yeah, it was him," Dorian replied. "He passed out from carbon monoxide poisoning after getting you out. He's still in critical condition. Do you want to see him?"

Dorian's face betrayed no emotion, but his eyes were clearly filled with intense discontent.

Amara closed her eyes momentarily and said, "Alright, I'll go see him."
