Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 714

Ludwik scoffed under his breath, "He said it was so 'we' wouldn't have regrets.

All the way here, I kept thinking, this 'we' could only mean me and Whitney.

But what does Florence's kid have to do with Whitney?

Sammy seems to care a lot about that child.

It doesn't make sense. He should despise Florence, so why care about her kid?

He also said, once the child is born, I would understand."

Ashton's eyes widened in disbelief.

Next to him, Felix furrowed his brow, "Sammy's too clever by half. Is he plotting something? Why the insistence on protecting that child... wait, protecting?" Ludwik's gaze sharpened, "Are you suggesting he's protecting Florence's child?"

"It's obvious, isn't it?" Ashton tilted his head, "But if it's just your offspring, Sammy should despise it as the product of your affair with Florence, unless..." Ashton paused suddenly, a shiver running down his spine as he looked at Ludwik.

Ludwik caught the implication in his gaze, his heart skipping a beat.

Right, Sammy caring about that child only made sense if... unless, could it be Whitney's? The one person Sammy loved more than anyone was his mom. But, that couldn't be possible!

Ludwik's heart turned cold as he looked towards Felix, "Felix, dig into what Sammy has been up to lately. Has he been keeping tabs on Florence? And check on his interactions with Ryan."

"Sure... Mr. Lippert." Felix sounded confused, unsure of what Mr. Lippert was suspecting.

Florence ran out of the hospital in a panic, directing the cab straight to Jarvis's mansion. She was frightened.

If Ludwik could drag her to the hospital today, he could force her onto the operating table tomorrow!

She had barely escaped, even though she didn't know who had cut the power and saved her...
