Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chatper 232

Chapter 232

In the dead of night, Whitney curled up in a windowless ward, her complexion deathly pale, her gaze distant and unfocused.

The door swung open, and a nurse carrying a tray of food stepped in, her tone kind as she said, “Ms. Valentine, please eat something.”

Whitney glanced at the tray, only to find leftover scraps that had gone cold!

Her senses sharpened immediately, her eyes fixed on the masked nurse as she knocked the tray over. “Did Elaine send you?”

The corner of the nurse’s eye twitched with malice, but her voice maintained its innocence. “Ms. Valentine, I’m just a regular nurse. Mr. Lippert has instructed us to take good care of you. Please don’t make things difficult for us.”

Disregarding her, Whitney seized the moment when the door was ajar and bolted out.

Little did she know that two burly security guards were waiting outside, who swiftly grabbed her and dragged her back to the room.

“Let me go, let me out!” Whitney’s screams were those of a woman teetering on the edge of

reason.

As the nurse tidied up the mess and left, Whitney noticed the surveillance camera in the room dimmed.

Moments later, the door burst open again, and the nurse returned with the guards.

With the door securely shut, the nurse sneered, “Ms. Valentine, time for your IV.”

“What IV? Show me the prescription first.” Whitney was on her feet in an instant.

The nurse ordered the guards to pin her down. As the syringe hissed with its sinister contents, she said with a low chuckle, “We’re quite professional at treating depression, dear. You don’t need to see the prescription! Just know that after a few more shots, your baby will be arriving sooner than expected.”

What?

Whitney’s face turned ashen; the medication was tainted, undoubtedly arranged by Elaine.

She could not let them inject her; she absolutely could not!

But there she was, awkward with her pregnant belly, powerless to fight back, watching helplessly as the drug was pushed into her vein.

“No!” she screamed, her face drained of color.
