Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 486

Chapter 486

The first night back at the Sheldon household, his concern for Florence couldn't have been more obvious. Whitney thought he was just being overly attentive because he cared so much about Florence. He stopped her from taking shares in the Sheldon Group and insisted

on dining with Florence at every meal.

Even during a crucial game, when Florence ended up in the hospital with a burnt ankle, he let her forfeit the match.

But what if his concern wasn't for Florence?

How crucial was Florence's health to him anyway?

Could it have something to do with Natalie's illness back in Banyan City?!

Doubts began to swirl in Whitney's mind.

"Once he wakes up, you can ask him for the details. I know you're hurt and you don't want to forgive him or trust him again. But I think Ludwik's holding something back. For some reason, he's taking it all on himself and refusing to let us help. Whitney, please, for his sake. He got hurt because of you. You need to break the ice between you two."

Parker sighed heavily.

Whitney felt a pang of pain and remained silent.

Around four in the morning, they allowed two visitors into his room. Danny rushed over. Parker suggested Whitney take their son to see him.

Seeing his dad lying in bed, Danny's tears started to fall. "I heard he got hurt trying to save you. If he risked his life for you, it's not just because you're the mom of his child."

His words, so profound, made Whitney stop mid-action and burst out laughing.

"What do you think the reason is?"

"He must really have you in his heart to do something so reckless." Danny looked downcast.

Whitney wrung out the towel and began to clean off the blood on Ludwik's body. His chest was bandaged, revealing deep wounds, but one old scar caught her eye.

Seeing that scar, tears welled up in Whitney's eyes.

Three years ago, he had gotten that scar for her. It would stay with him for a lifetime.

And tonight? She had no idea what he was thinking...
