    Here is your revised trantion, closely reflecting the nuances, cultural adaptation, andnguage conventions for an American audience. All names and ces remain unchanged, and the tone and emotions are preserved ording to the original text.


    The word "status" struck Finnian like a blow to the chest. Asposed as he usually was, he couldn''t help but let his face darken.


    It was true-while the baby Amara was carrying was his, he held no official ce in her life, and Amara had no intention of letting him acknowledge the child.


    Still, no matter how unhappy he felt, he couldn''t let it show in front of Keith. That would just make him look vulnerable.


    Just as he was about to say something, Amara rose to her feet. "Enough. Let''s go— I really don''t want to stay at the hospital any longer."


    She was genuinely d that Keith hade to check on her, but she knew that, whenever he and Finnian met, they were bound to butt heads. Amara found it exhausting.


    Hearing Amara speak up, Finnian said nothing more. Instead, he offered, “Let me take you home. You should go see Grandpa-he''s been asking about you."


    Amara had already received a message from Mr. Kevin Everly that morning, and she did want to see her grandfather. She nodded.


    She turned to Keith and said, "I''m okay now, really. The pain is gone, so you don''t have to worry. I''ll go see Grandpa first-you should head back."


    Keith was obviously uneasy seeing Amara leave with Finnian-or maybe he just couldn''t stand the thought of her going with Finnian at all.


    Now that the truth about Amara''s pregnancy was out, it only made Finnian''s role as her caretaker seem even more legitimate, which made Keith ufortable.


    But there was nothing he could do to stop her. So he simply said, "Alright. Call me if you need anything."


    Amara agreed, and left with Finnian.


    Before long, they arrived at the Everly Estate. As Amara stepped through the door into the living room, she nced around, a wave of mixed emotions washing over her.


    She''d only been away for two days, yeting back felt like returning from a lifetime ago—maybe because so much had happened in such a short time.


    And where she used to be just Mr. Kevin Everly''s goddaughter, now that some people knew she was carrying Finnian''s child, the way people looked at her hadpletely changed. As she walked aside, Amara could sense people furtively ncing her way.


    Ignoring the stares, she headed straight to Mr. Kevin Everly''s room.


    "Grandpa, I''m here."


    Mr. Kevin Everly took her hand, looking her over from head to toe. Only after seeing her rosy cheeks and healthyplexion did he finally seem at ease.


    "Stay for lunch, will you?" he asked. "Now that you''ve moved out, and Finn and the others are so busy at work, there''s hardly anyone around to keep mepany anymore."


    Amara knew he wasn''t ming


    her-he was just feeling a little lonely


    and wanted her to stay with him more often. She immediately smiled and said, "Of course, Grandpa Pll have lunch with you today, and from now on I''ll visit you more often. How does that sound?"


    “You always know just what to say to cheer me up,” Mr. Kevin Everly said happily.


    He always felt better whenever Amara was around.


    After talking with Mr. Kevin Everly for a while and having lunch together, Amara went back to her room to rest.


    Most of her belongings had already been moved out, but there were still some everyday items and bedding left behind, so she coulde back to sta anytime. The room was cleaned daily, and everything was spotless.  s?novels


    Amaray down and drifted off for a short nap.


    Just then, she got a call from Elysia, who invited her out for a chat. Amara epted and headed out.


    They met at a café on Galleria Lane. Elysia had arrived first and had already ordered two hot choctes. When Amara walked in, her drink was waiting for her, and Elysia waved her over with a cheerful smile.


    After sitting down, Amara took a sip of her drink and eyed Elysia up and down. "You


    look pretty happy today. Did something good happen?”


    Elysia nodded, grinning ear to ear. "I''ve decided I''m going to terminate the pregnancy."
