Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 382

Chapter 382

Sammy slipped into the room, clutching the smartphone his mom had given him. The sight of a nurse standing by his grandmother's bedside caught him off guard.

Just moments ago, he had pretended to be his older brother, Danny, using every trick in the book to shoo away the security and medical staff on this floor. He did all this just to have a moment of privacy to connect his grandma with his mom via video call. "Grandma..." The little guy sprinted over to her.

At the sight of her grandson, Natalie's expression changed. She struggled to rise from the bed, reaching out as if to warn him of some danger. Her mouth opened, but only a strained "No" escaped.

Yet, Sammy had already made his way to the other side of the bed, leaving Natalie with no choice but to fix her gaze on the 'nurse' and instinctively shield her grandson behind her.

"What's wrong, Grandma?" Sammy asked, puzzled by her odd behavior.

His eyes then shifted to the masked nurse. "Nurse, could you give us a moment alone? I need to talk to my grandma."

He pulled out the smartphone, ready to make the call the moment the nurse left. But the nurse didn't budge.

Frowning in confusion, Sammy took another look.

Natalie's grip on his hand tightened, trying to pull him back.

But her strength was failing.

Sammy, wise beyond his years, sensed something was amiss. Why wasn't this nurse moving? And why was she radiating such a cold aura, her eyes fixed on him in such a strange way? "Nurse?" Sammy tried again, his voice rising in uncertainty.
