Under the Veil I Rule novel Chapter 108

Liliana was rushed to the emergency room, and after a thorough examination, the doctor said, "Mrs. Porter caught a chill after falling into the water. She's pregnant, and it's quite serious. We need to focus on protecting the baby, so please be patient."

The moment those words came out, everyone's hearts leapt into their throats.

Liliana's situation had escalated to the point of needing to protect the pregnancy. If the baby was saved, it would be a relief, but what if they couldn't?

That was the Everly family's child, after all. If something happened to the baby, what would Finnian do to the film crew? No one dared to imagine.

Amara sat alone on the long bench in the hallway, her hands resting on her knees, her head bowed, and her whole body feeling icy cold.

She had no idea what had happened, but ever since the words "protect the baby" were mentioned, everyone's eyes had changed when they looked at her.

She knew there had been rumors buzzing around about her, Liliana, and Finnian. Amara was Finnian's official wife, but he had completely ignored her, flaunting his relationship with Liliana, and now they even had a child together.

To everyone else, she was just a pathetic and laughable abandoned wife.

Now that something had happened to Liliana, and it was during a conversation with her, people didn't say it out loud, but Amara knew they suspected she had pushed Liliana into the water.

Amara closed her eyes shortly, wrapping her arms tightly around her trembling shoulders.

"Ama, what happened earlier?"

Cedric approached, gently placing a hand on Amara's shoulder.

He asked again what had happened and how Liliana ended up in the water, but the people who had gathered exchanged nervous glances, each waiting for the other to speak, but no one dared to say a word.

That was when Liliana's assistant, Nora, stepped forward, speaking in a low voice, "Liliana was talking to Mrs. Sullivan by the pond at the time. It seemed like Liliana wanted Mrs. Sullivan to make some changes to the upcoming scene. I don't know how their conversation ended, but when I looked, Liliana was already in the water, and Mrs. Sullivan was standing on the bank."

Nora was an exceptionally honest girl, and what she said wasn't wrong. From her perspective, that was exactly how it had happened, but saying it like that seemed too pointed.

Everyone turned to look at Amara, including Finnian himself. Finnian's eyes revealed no emotion, but he was clearly not pleased.

Cedric glanced between the estranged couple, nudging Amara with his elbow, and whispered, "Ama, you should explain about it, what happened back there?"

Cedric completely trusted Amara, but now with everyone casting suspicious glances her way, she seemed overwhelmed, silent and brooding. It was easy for people to jump to conclusions, so Cedric decided to give her a little nudge.
