Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 283

Amara had been asking around, and the police finally revealed that they traced the explosion back to a small plastic container. It was rigged with a silenced explosive device on a timer, making it tricky to pinpoint exactly when it was set up. They assured her there would be a thorough investigation.

"Ama, you're back," Larry said as he approached her, giving her the once-over. "How are you holding up?"

"I'm okay, Dad," Amara replied softly.

In truth, she hadn't been physically harmed, just inhaled some smoke, leaving her lungs feeling a bit uncomfortable. She leaned against the doorframe, looking more fragile than she felt.

Larry studied her for a moment. "If you're not feeling well, take a few days off to rest. Work can wait. You don't need to worry about earning money right now."

Amara, now divorced from Finnian and without financial support from her ex- husband, knew this was Larry's way of saying he'd take care of her financially.

Nearby, Fiona and Elowen couldn't stay silent any longer and walked over. "Ama, what happened yesterday was terrifying. I've been so worried about you," Fiona said, grabbing her hand as tears welled up in her eyes.
