Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 784

"Uncle, disaster! Parkie took off on his yacht to find you, and ran into a tempest in the middle of the sea. The GPS shows the yacht capsized. It's highly likely Parkie's gone overboard..." Phineas was on the cliffside of Saltland Island, gazing at the sea, when he suddenly got the call from the security team at the mansion.

Parkie in trouble again?

He immediately headed to the ship's cabin and ordered the captain, "Forget about that toxin hunt, Parkie's in trouble. Turn around, we need to rescue him!" The massive vessel turned back.

In the heart of the sea, amidst a roaring thunderstorm, the waves churned violently.

Phineas's heart clenched at the sight.

Why on Earth did he leave the comfort of the mansion's 'detox' sessions to come find me all of a sudden?

Wasn't it just last time I hauled him back from a sea cliff dive? The poison hadn't even been dealt with, and he was amnesic. How did he end up overboard again? "Stop, there's a yacht over there!" Phineas shouted, waving his hands.

"Yes, sir, we're moving in for the rescue."

"Parkie, you damn fool..."

"Sir, we've spotted Parkie's head bobbing up."

"Hurry!"

With herculean effort, Parker was hauled aboard by the crew and laid out on the deck.

Phineas immediately summoned the doctor, "Check him over, quick! Parkie, are you with us?"

"Ugh...cough, cough." Parker sputtered out seawater, sprawling on the deck, nodding.

His dark, piercing eyes slowly lifted, confusion in his voice, "Uncle, I was shot before I fell into the sea, how did you manage to rescue me so promptly?" "..." Phineas was taken aback.

Hearing what he said, Phineas knelt down, "What are you talking about, Parkie?"

Parker continued, more composed.

Phineas was in turmoil, looking into Parker's lucid eyes. His hand still clutched where a bullet had hit him, and Phineas suddenly understood, "Parkie! Have your memories returned?" "Regained my memories?" Parker was puzzled, "Wasn't I just in the sea? I was shot
