Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 625

Sweat trickled down Sammy's pale forehead, a sign of his internal turmoil. His body was losing heat, making him shiver. "Sammy... Sammy? What's wrong with you?" Danny, noticing his brother's daze and the chill in his eyes, shook his arm in alarm.

"It's nothing!" Sammy breathed deeply, his mind a whirlwind of thoughts he couldn't share with Danny.

Just then, the sound of a car horn echoed from the driveway.

Parker's footsteps approached from outside, "Sammy, Danny, I think Ryan's back."

Sammy nudged Danny, "Bro, let's pause our chat for today. You head back. Ryan might not dare to mess with me, but if we keep meeting like this, it'll raise Florence's suspicions! Remember, I'm supposed to be a patient here, under Ryan's 'care'. Got it? If anything comes up, just ping me a secret code on your smartwatch."

Danny, clearly reluctant, made a face, "But Sammy, I still want to hang out with you..."

"Our mom's safety is more important!" Sammy cut in sharply.

Danny fell silent at once. They were their mom's little guardians, and her wellbeing was their top priority. As boys, they had to protect her at all costs.

Danny, feeling inadequate next to Sammy's bravery, pouted, "Fine, I'll endure. As her guardian, I won't let you down. If you need my help with your act, just tell me."

"I will, buddy. Miss you already."

"Me too, best bro!" Danny, trying to be brave, wiped away his tears and quickly left, waving goodbye at the door before taking his grandma's hand.

"Danny, I'll drive you and your grandma home," Parker offered.
