Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 331

The next morning, Ludwik bumped into Orion in the hospital lobby.

The devilishly charming man was at the reception desk asking the nurse, "Where's Whitney's room? She's my girlfriend, could you please help me out?" The query made the nurse blush slightly as she eagerly pointed him in the right direction.

Felix shivered at the sight, glancing beside him to see Mr. Lippert's face turning a shade of blue. Ludwik stared coldly at the flashy bouquet in Orion's arms.

He turned and frowned at Felix, "Find out why Whitney is staying in this hospital. She doesn't seem injured."

He thought she was just here to visit Danny and to pick a fight with Elaine.

Felix nodded and made a call. Ten minutes later, as they walked towards the room, he reported back to Ludwik, "Apparently, it was Tiana who got injured during the kidnapping incident at the cave, and she's the one registered. Ms. Valentine is here keeping her company." "Are you sure it's Tiana who's hospitalized?" Ludwik had a feeling Whitney was hiding something.

"Cough, cough! Daddy, I want a bag of chips, go buy it for me."

Danny, fearing Sammy would be exposed and not quite believing it was Tiana who was hospitalized, immediately shouted.

"Felix, go buy a bag of chips." Ludwik, sitting upright on the couch, casually picked up some paperwork.

"I won't eat the ones he buys." Danny pouted.

Ludwik raised his eyes sternly, about to speak, but the little guy crossed his arms, "If you don't go, I'll ask mommy to buy them for me, and then I'll go home with her."

Ludwik choked on his frustration, dropped the paperwork, and stood up with a cold face.

Seeing daddy leave, Danny secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

At the vending machine, Felix hesitated before saying, "Mr. Lippert, Danny wants chips, but you're buying a rawhide stick, which is tough to chew."

"And? He has a complaint?"

Felix quietly shut his mouth, opting out of the father-son war.

"Nurse, could you tell me which room Whitney is in? I'm her boyfriend."

A smooth baritone voice came from the reception desk.
