Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 702

Ludwik's gaze darkened as he momentarily lost focus, his grip on the steering wheel slipping, and the car veered towards a turning junction, heading straight for an oncoming Maybach!

Instinctively, Ludwik tried to hit the brakes, but it was too late.

The two vehicles collided with a loud bang.

"Danny..." His first reaction was to anxiously look back at the rear seat.

"Dad, were you even driving properly?!"

Danny, being just a kid, was terrified and burst into tears.

Ludwik, apologetic, quickly got out of the car and rushed to the back door. Thankfully, Danny had his seatbelt on, showing his strong sense of safety. It seemed he had hit his head against the car door and was in pain. "I'm so sorry, buddy. Are you okay?" he said, lifting the child out of the car.

The Maybach driver also came to a stop and quickly got out, asking with concern, "Is the kid hurt?"

After checking Danny over and breathing a sigh of relief, Ludwik replied, "He's fine. I'm really sorry, it was my fault. I'll cover the costs."

The driver glanced at the sobbing child and then walked back to the Maybach.

The car window rolled down, revealing a man's profile that seemed to belong to someone in his middle ages.

The driver asked, "Sir, how would you like to handle this?"

The middle-aged man glanced towards Ludwik and said in a low, cold voice, "Forget about it. Just make sure the kid is alright."

Ludwik couldn't help but steal a glance at the understanding car owner.

Then, his sharp gaze turned slightly surprised... The man in the car, dignified and clearly of no ordinary status, bore a striking resemblance to Parker Doonan?

The window closed quickly, so fast that Ludwik thought he might have been mistaken.

The driver came back, kindly saying, "Our boss said to let it go. Just be more careful when driving with kids next time. We have to rush, so we'll be leaving now."

"Thank you..."
