Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 705

The group left, and the door to the cell was slammed shut.

Tiana was frozen in place, dumbfounded. Parker had been poisoned.

His cries of agony echoed continuously, filled with pain.

Her heart clenched in sympathy.

She speculated that after he had been shot by those men, he had jumped into the sea to escape. Because he was bleeding from the gunshot wound, it was likely that he attracted some of the ocean's rare venomous creatures.

He had been bitten, and after a narrow escape from death, he ended up both amnesiac and poisoned.

Her thoughts slowly coalesced, bringing order to the chaos before her.

Clearly, the middle-aged man was indeed related to Parker, showing genuine concern for him.

That day, when Barclay came to Emperor City looking for trouble and inadvertently revealed that Parker's maternal family was influential, seemingly close confidants of the president, Barclay boasted about getting Ludwik thrown into jail. And he had made good on his threat.

The police in Emperor City had been pressured by the president's office to arrest Ludwik.

Meaning, Parker's uncle was not only wealthy and influential but also possessed significant power!

Now, this uncle was hiding Parker here, nursing him back to health.

And he had misunderstood her intentions, thinking she was there to harm Parker.

How was she supposed to get out of this godforsaken place?

The most pressing matter was to get close to Parker, find a way to restore his memory, and clear up the misunderstanding with his uncle so they could leave.
