Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 643

Whitney froze in place, a thick tension seizing her body.

That wasn't Danny's voice, she was certain!

She spun around almost instantly, only to see a small figure standing behind her. He had Danny's face, but those tear-brimmed eyes looked at her with a depth and calmness, slowly breaking into a smile. "Mommy, I missed you so much."

Time seemed to stand still.

Whitney's heart clenched, and she quickly blinked away the tears, reminding herself that she couldn't cry upon seeing Sammy. After everything he'd been through, she didn't want to add to his pain. She had to smile.

With a smile, Whitney carefully crouched down and opened her arms wide, "Sammy, my little heart."

Sammy dropped his backpack and rushed into her embrace, his laughter filling the air around them.

Whitney felt his frail frame and couldn't help the tears that threatened to spill. She gently touched his head, her voice cautious, "Danny mentioned you got a bit hurt, my sweetheart. Can you tell mommy where it hurts?" Sammy knew Danny had followed his instructions.

He also knew his mom was checking his head.

He brushed it off with a light kiss on her cheek, "It's a minor injury, mommy. You don't have to worry. I'm already getting it looked at."

""Will it heal?" Whitney's voice was heavy with concern.

"It will, it just needs some time. And I have to stay at the doctor's for a while."

"Sammy, when were you... found?"

The boy looked down, "About a month ago."

Whitney paused, then why hadn't Ludwik told her?

She had been kept in the dark, believing she had to marry Bryce to fulfill a deal with Florence and get Sammy back.

Reading his mom's thoughts, Sammy didn't want to make excuses for his dad. He revealed, "Dad probably thought I was very sick and didn't want to worry you."

Is that so?
