Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 642

The moment Danny spotted Whitney, his little heart shattered into pieces, and he burst into tears, racing towards her, "Mommy, mommy... I've missed you so much."

Whitney's eyes brimmed with tears as she enveloped her son in a tight embrace, wishing she could fuse him into her very being, "Danny, I'm so sorry I vanished for so long. You must have been worried. Mommy's fine now, and I'll never leave you or Sammy again." "It's all Dad's fault, I know, I know..." Danny sobbed, his voice hoarse, a trace of discomfort flashing in his eyes.

Despite feeling sympathy for his dad, he couldn't deny that Sammy's concerns were valid.

These days, he had been scrolling through websites, everyone was talking about how Mommy was taken away by Dad, how Mommy then married Bryce. People speculated whether Mommy was tainted, whether Bryce would abandon her, wondering if any man could ever accept a woman like Mommy again.

That's when Danny realized the extent of hurt Mommy had endured.

He found himself at a loss to defend his dad...

Whitney, however, didn't want to mention that man again.

Her thoughts were interrupted as she looked around for Sammy, her eyes filled with hope, which faded instantly.

Trembling, she asked, "Danny, where's Sammy? He said Sammy was rescued."

"Sammy's safe, don't worry, Mommy!"

Danny slightly pulled away to light up his smartwatch, trying to video call Sammy, "Sammy's been waiting for you too. He asked me to call him the moment I saw you. He misses you the most, Mommy."

Wiping away her tears, Whitney's heart felt like it was in shreds as she asked in a hoarse voice, "Where's my boy? Why... why isn't he coming home? Danny, have you seen your brother?"

"I've seen him, he's okay. About him not coming home, it's because, well..."

Danny, being straightforward, struggled to lie, but it was Sammy's request. He chose his words carefully, "Sammy got a little hurt, because the doctor who kidnapped him caused some injuries, so he's staying at the doctor's for treatment."

Whitney's heart clenched as she remembered Florence's threat about Sammy undergoing brain surgery.

With her heart in her throat, she insisted, "Injured? So he's recuperating? I want to see him, bring him home."
