As Amans walked away, her mind churned. The fact that Osric had called out someone else’s name only added insult to injury.
If she didnt break off this engagement soon, Amaris might just lose her mind!
But then Amura remembered something earlier. When she checked his pulse, she’d noticed something strange. Oric was poisoned- and not just recently. It had been in his system for a long time. How could he not know?
Later that night, Osric’s private physician, Lucan, finally arrived to help relieve him of his predicament.

The next morning. Amaris woke up to see her bags packed. She’d originally planned to move into her dorm at the hospital. And Thane had even promised her a small room.
But as she stood there, staring at her suitcase, Amaris changed her mind.
Osic was sick, and she was a doctor. It wasn’t in her nature to ignore a patient in need.
So Amaris decided to stay, at least until she figured out what was wrong with him
When she went downstairs, Osric was already having breakfast. He looked up and greeted her, “Morning”
Before she could respond, the phone in the living room rang, Kate answered, then turned to Amaris with a knowing smile. “Ms. Wynn, it’s for you.
This is Mrs. Hale.”
Amaris hesitated but walked over to take the call ‘Good morning, Grandma,” she said tentatively.
“Oli, my sweetie!” Fenella chirped, her voler brimming with excitement. “So, how was last night? Did Ouric treat you well!”
Amaris’s checks burned. She tightened her grip on the receiver, struggling to find the words “Grandma. L. I don’t know what you mean.
“Oh my goodness, what is the up to Does she really want her grandson to marry me? Amaris thought.
“Come now, don’t be shy Did anything special happen Fenella replied.
Before maris could stammer out a response, Ostic appeared, snatched the phone from her, and said, “Grandma, Amaris and I are getting along fine. Didn’t you see yesterday’s headlines? Don’t worry, Ill bring her to visit you soon.”
With that, Oric hung up without waiting for her reply. Turning back, he saw Armaris still standing there. Smirking, he leaned against the doorway. blocking her path
