NovelEnglishChapter 279 The handsface 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 savedyesterday?" "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.

With Elysia's support, Amara got out of bed, and the three of them made their way to Finnian's hospital room. Dorian had exaggerated a little-Finnian had indeed been in a life-threatening situation, but he'd been stabilized a few hours ago. He was out of immediate danger, though still unconscious, and no one knew when he'd wake up. Amara entered the room. Finnian lay there, his handsface ghostly pale, looking so fragile, a stark contrast to his usual composed self.
Amara's heart ached, but she showed no sign of it. Her expression remained cool, almost indifferent.
Dorian had been watching her closely, his frown deepening, and he said slowly, "Last night, I got a call from Jessica and was about to head over when I saw Finnian running upstairs." "Finn had just received an anonymous text saying someone was out to get you. When I asked him what was going on, he told me, and we both headed up." "We saw the staff gathered outside your room, shouting, as the incident unfolded." Dorian had accompanied Finnian upstairs partly because he was worried about Elysia, who wasAmara, and feared she might get caught up in it.
Amara pondered, who could have wanted to harm her? Elowen was her prsuspect, given their history. Elowen had tried to harm her before, even going as far as slashing her face with a knife. Wanting her dead wasn't out of the question.
But Elowen wasn't the only possible suspect. Amara couldn't be certain.
And who had sent that anonymous text to Finnian? Who was secretly helping her? "Ama, step outside for a moment."

"During my wedding a few days ago, when you had that spat with Dorian, Finnian kept stepping in to defend you. And now, he's risking his life to save you. What's going on with him?" Amara hesitated and then said, "Finnian confessed torecently. He said he likes me, but I just can't believe it." Elysia was stunned. Finnian had feelings for Amara? If she'd heard this a few days ago, she'd have been just as skeptical as Amara.
But after seeing Finnian risk everything to pull Amara out of the fire, she couldn't dismiss it so easily.
She furrowed her brow, deep in thought about the whole situation.
Finally, she gripped Amara's wrist and said, "No matter what, don't get back together with him. Remember, Liliana is still carrying his child."
