NovelEnglishChapter 190
Her cheeks were burning, and she felt like the more she tried to explain, the
worse it got. Sometimes it was best to just let things be.
Finnian watched her, noticing the slight redness in her eyes.
Amara usually wore a mask, so people couldn't easily tell when she was blushing. But she had a tell-when she
blushed, her eyes turned red and she'd nervously glance down, looking adorably shy.
So, what did her face look like now? Probably as red as a ripe strawberry.
For sreason, Finnian felt a strange flutter in his chest.
He stepped closer, leaning in to whisper in her ear. "Why do you have the feeling? I'm not even tired yet."
Amara felt her face grow even warmer. The conversation was veering into territory she wasn't comfortable with.
She quickly turned away, saying, "It's not because of that..."
These kinds of explanations only made things messier, Amara decided it was best not to continue. She thought
about finding an excuse to leave and take a breather.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust then, a nurse walked in softly saying, "Mr. Finnian Everly, Ms. Sullivan, Mr. Kevin Everly is awake."
The subtle ambiguity in the air slowly dissolved.
Amara and Finnian exchanged a glance and returned to the hospital room together.
Inside, the Everly family members were gathered around, asking about Kevin's condition.
Lying in the hospital bed, Kevin looked a bit pale and his voice was weak, but he seemed much better than
before.
He was speaking with seffort, and when Amara and Finnian entered, he reached out a hand toward them.
The gesture was instinctive, and Amara hesitated, unsure if she should approach.
Since she had lied to Kevin a few days earlier about being in a relationship with Keith, she felt awkward facing
the man who had always been so kind to her.
Noticing her hesitation, Kevin called out again, "Ama, chere."
Amara immediately stepped forward, ignoring the surprised or hostile glances from the Everlys, and took Kevin's
hand. “Grandpa, how are you feeling?"
"Not too bad, I'm starting to feel better."
Kevin held Amara's hand with one of his, while he took Finnian's with the other. He looked up at the other family
members. "Can you all step out for a moment? | need to speak with Ama."
He released Finnian's hand. "You too, leave us."
Being the head of the family, Kevin's words carried weight, and no one dared to defy him. Everyone gradually left
the room, and Finnian, the last to leave, gave Amara a glance before closing the door.

The room fell quiet, and Amara shifted uncomfortably, asking in a low voice, "What
did you want to talk about?"
Kevin gazed at her for a moment, and then sighed.
"Ama, how have you been these days?" he asked.
"I've been well." Amara replied, nodding. “And you..."
She was about to ask how he was, but then remembered he was in the hospital, obviously not well, so she
swallowed her words.
Being an experienced old man, Kevin understood what she meant, and gently patted her hand. "You don't need

"But it isn't entirely unrelated either," Kevin continued. "To be honest, it's
the stress from everything
lately mostly about Finn and that actress. Your situation was just the last straw."
"Grandpa, I'm really sorry."
"There's no need to explain," Kevin interrupted, raising a hand to stop her.
"I know that the main issue isn't you, but Finn. If he had treated you well these past three years, your old
feelings for your childhood friend wouldn't have rekindled."
