Under the Veil I Rule

Chapter 296

As Amara blinked her eyes open, she found herself sitting on the grass beside Keith, surrounded by a crowd of people who were all staring at her in disbelief. More accurately, they were gaping at her face, completely stunned.

Feeling a bit bewildered, Amara touched her face and froze when she realized her mask was missing. Her fingers brushed against her bare cheeks, and her heart skipped a beat.

She had worn a mask since she was ten. It felt as natural as wearing clothes, and now, sitting in the sunlight without it felt like she was completely exposed. She was suddenly overwhelmed with discomfort.

A wave of nausea hit her, and she coughed up some water, clutching her chest. Keith immediately patted her back, concerned. "Did you choke on water?"

Amara nodded, and Keith helped her to her feet. "Let's get you somewhere to rest."

They took a few steps before Finnian stepped in front of them. "I called 911. An ambulance is on its way to take Amara to the hospital for a check-up," he said, his gaze fixed on a pebble in the grass.

Amara had been battling a bad cold and now, having nearly drowned, she was likely to develop a fever. Keith knew this was serious and nodded, agreeing with Finnian's suggestion.
