Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 228

Chapter 228

Bryce immediately crouched down, yelling, “Call a doctor, get me a doctor, now!”

“Oh, Hunter!” Claire wailed with tears streaming down her face.

Whitney stood by helplessly as people rushed forward in a frenzy. She had intended to check on the old man, maybe offer first aid.

Suddenly, Claire shoved her away with a look of utter disdain. “Get away! I don’t care what kind of spell you’ve cast on Bryce, but you must leave right now!”

“Mom, it’s not her fault. Someone’s trying to ruin our engagement party today. You can’t fall for this,” Bryce tried to reason with his mother.

“And you dare defend this fraud, carrying another man’s child and pretending to be a Lutz? You want to give me a heart attack?”

Claire’s health was frail, and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

“Mom…”

“Bryce, stop it. It’s all my fault. I brought this trouble upon us. Please, take your folks to the hospital.”

Whitney’s face was ashen, her heart numb, as a suffocating despair engulfed her.

Bryce called for the doctor, and in a hurry, they loaded his parents into an ambulance.

He then managed to calm the shareholders and warned the media to hand over the photos they had taken. Yet, some had already broadcast the chaos on the internet.

Whitney was banished by the Lutz family, forbidden from entering the hospital or accompanying Bryce to tend to his parents.

She was escorted back to Bryce’s mansion by his bodyguard.

From noon until evening, when Bryce returned, Valerie and Tiana breathed a sigh of relief and immediately asked, “How are your folks?”

Bryce looked towards Whitney.

“Don’t keep it from me, please don’t,” Whitney begged.

“My mother is suffering from stress, but it’s not too serious. My father has a history of heart problems; he’s had a heart attack and is now in the ICU.”

Whitney staggered back, unable to articulate her agony.
