Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 665

Ludwik also understood his mother's reservations. She was a very gentle and traditional woman, who didn't want to cause him any trouble.

Not to mention his father, who would never accept her identity.

Ludwik strode into the hospital room.

But then Felix suddenly thought of something. Mentioning Natalie, he quickly caught up to Ludwik, hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "Mr. Lippert, given the Lippert family's current financial difficulties, have you ever considered... the funds you've been saving for Natalie over the past few years, that $200 billion, could we possibly... move it temporarily?"

"Shut your mouth." Ludwik sharply turned, glaring at him with sudden anger, "Don't ever mention that again!"

That money was set aside for his mother's retirement fund, something he had started saving years ago and was off-limits, no matter what.

He had weathered many storms in the business world, always with the thought of securing a safety net for his mother, so she could live comfortably in her old age, even if he were to die.

Felix immediately understood; he had hit Ludwik's breaking point. Even if the Lippert family was on the brink of bankruptcy, Ludwik wouldn't touch Natalie's fund.

He hung his head in resignation.

Ludwik approached the bedside.

Soon, the attending doctor rushed over and was surprised to find that Jason had awakened.

"Ludwik, your father's awake! Jason, slowly open your eyes and follow my fingers," the doctor immediately began checking Jason's senses.

Ludwik furrowed his brows, holding his father's arm, "Dad?"

"I..." With the doctor's help, Jason finally fully opened his eyes.

He was weak, his eyes cloudy, slowly recalling the events of the past few days, filled with anger and regret, "Ludwik, the Lippert family's downfall... it's all my fault... I've been a complete failure in life..."

Ludwik's handsome face was somber. He knew his father had just recovered from a stroke, and Thea had deliberately provoked him at a critical moment.
