Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 107

The doctor’s words, “Good news, he’s fine,” were choked in his throat.

Considering Nolan, the doctor could only, with a heavy heart, step aside.

Nolan gave Parker a swift kick, and the two promptly vanished.

For a moment, the wide hospital corridor was left with only Whitney and a gurney.

Silence reigned, broken only by the soft sobs of a young woman, followed swiftly by the tender, quivering touch of a strong man’s arm.

Whitney stared at the handsome features beneath his mask, knowing a shard of glass falling from above could be fatal, yet she could not believe it. She collapsed, “No, no, L, please wake up. You were conscious when you

went in!”

She clung to his arm, instinctively trying to acupuncture him to check his vitals.

But L did not respond!

Whitney felt a chill in her heart. She withdrew her attempt at aid, and tears sprang forth as she cried onto the man’s chest. “Why did you do this? Why didn’t you think before you saved me?

In that moment, I knew you care about me, about the baby. Otherwise, why would you rather get stabbed than let me fall?” Her heart clenched. Such bravery moved her deeply; no man had ever risked his life for her like

this.

How many times had he saved her now?

“I don’t want our baby to lose their father, and I don’t want to lose you either. Do you hear me?”

She mustered the courage to whisper these words because he might never know her true feelings if she did

not.

Her feelings were a mess because of him. Was he the master of carrot–and–stick?

Whitney took a deep breath, holding his hand. “Why are you so cruel and yet so kind? You’re the kind of man that’s easy to love and hate. I was planning to run away, to break up with you when I saw you again…”
