Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 378

"What the heck is going on?" Ludwik demanded, his voice deep, his gaze filled with confusion and a hint of menace.

Taryn shivered under his intense presence, knowing well how protective he was of the family matriarch. Stepping in front of Danny, Taryn struggled to articulate, "Sir, it's like this. After the lady of the house fell into a coma three years ago, before Miss Emsworth left Banyan City, she handed me a pill, instructing me to secretly administer it to the lady... I've been doing it for three years..."

Ludwik was in disbelief.

Just then, Natalie coughed up blood from beneath her oxygen mask.

"Grandma!" the family doctor exclaimed.

Ludwik's expression hardened, "What's happening now?"

"It might be because she just woke up! We can't rule out any risks with her condition. Mr. Lippert, our home medical setup isn't equipped like a hospital. We're good for convalescence, not for treatment. We need to get her to a major hospital now!" Ludwik snapped to attention, "What are we waiting for? Let's move her, now!"

"Careful, careful!" the doctor urged as nurses were called, and the household prepared for the emergency transfer. Ludwik instantly called the director of Skyfaith Hospital, ensuring everything was in order for their arrival.

After everyone had left, Danny, with worry knitting his brow, followed closely behind. Something about his father's reaction to the news that mom had been giving grandma the mysterious pills seemed off. He needed to share this potentially good news with his mom immediately.
