Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 346

"Ludwik, you're back! Danny and I were just having dinner. I'll get you a plate!"

Ludwik's gaze, however, was fixed on his son. "Danny, what's wrong?"

"My throat hurts," the little guy managed to say, speaking with difficulty.

The man suddenly turned to Elaine. "What did you give him to eat?" His tone was cold.

Elaine blinked, taken aback, and pointed to the dining table with a hint of grievance. "We were just having some grilled salmon, Danny loves it."

Ludwik glanced at the fish on the table.

Then, noticing the empty plate beside Danny's bowl that was meant for bones, his lips thinned in slight disapproval as he glanced at Elaine. "You didn't check the salmon for bones? He could've easily choked!" "Cough, cough..." Danny's discomfort grew as he began to cough more.

Elaine paused, her eyes fixed on the boy's reaction, and hurriedly explained, "But salmon has fewer bones, and I made sure to give Danny a whole piece, Ludwik."

"Fewer bones doesn't mean none. How could you be so careless? And the thickest parts are the least tender; the belly is what's best for children."

Ludwik frowned, remembering a night at Whitney's place where she had also prepared salmon.

That woman had carefully picked through the belly meat, removing even the tiniest bones.

She was so cautious she'd nearly chew the food herself before giving it to the child.

Comparing the two, it was clear Elaine lacked patience and tenderness with the child.
