Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 500

At Skyfaith Hospital, the arrival of Danny made Natalie's heavily guarded entourage hesitant to stop him.

"I'm here to check on grandma; Dad sent me."

With these words, Danny, accompanied by Whitney, made his way into Natalie's ICU room without trouble.

"Grandma!" Danny's excitement was palpable upon seeing Natalie.

Whitney, however, couldn't hide her shock at Natalie's frail appearance, her eyes betraying a flash of pity. The woman before her looked nothing like the robust figure she remembered, now reduced to skin and bones.

"It's only been a fortnight!" Whitney thought, recalling Parker's words about Natalie's imminent demise.

Struggling to speak, Whitney approached Natalie, "What happened to you?"

Natalie, momentarily more lucid and seemingly ignoring her grandson, focused on Whitney, "My dear, you finally came. Are you still angry with me?"

The emotional turmoil was evident in Whitney's eyes as she fought back tears. In that moment, any resentment she held melted away in the face of Natalie's condition. She whispered, her voice choked with emotion, "What's wrong with you?"

Natalie's feeble attempt to embrace Whitney bridged the gap between them, and for a moment, they were just family, united in their concern for one another.
