Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 807

Tiana couldn't spot even the slightest ripple on his face; she glanced past him towards Phineas standing behind.

Phineas cleared his throat softly, giving her a nod in response.

"So, you don't remember anything that happened in this past month since you lost your memory?" Tiana forced a smile, asking Parker again.

"Yeah." Parker nodded, seeing a mix of disappointment and self-mockery flash through her eyes, puzzled, "Did something significant happen this month? Or did you see me after you came looking?"

"Parkie, actually, Ms. Melford and you had already..." Phineas couldn't help but want to spill the beans about Tiana detoxifying him with her body.

"Nothing! I haven't seen you...not in this past month."

Tiana suddenly cut him off, her voice weak, her vibrant demeanor dimming down, she took a deep breath and smiled, "Your uncle was right. I did come looking for you, but after arriving on the island, he locked me up. Back then, you had amnesia, and your uncle suspected me of being an accomplice and wouldn't let me see you, so we never met.

Today is our first meeting on the island, Parker. Now that you've regained your memory, let's leave this place.

I'm eager to return and see Whitney. I have no idea how she's been, staying by Bryce's side, that devil.

I need to tell her everything."

"Alright! I've already met with Ludwik, and I've got a clear picture of the major events that happened in Emperor City this past month.

Bryce, riding on the coattails of the Patrick family, has been framing Ludwik left and right.

If you have any evidence against him, it's the perfect time to expose him."

Parker smiled warmly, looking deeply into her eyes, his heart slightly stirred, he said softly, "Tiana, thank you for not giving up on me after I disappeared, for coming all this way to find me. I'll remember this kindness." Tiana returned a stiff smile, her face silent, her lips pursed.

Her heart trembled slightly with pain. What else could she say? After all, the other 'kindness' was completely forgotten by him along with his regained memory.

What a jerk! Parker, you're such a jerk. You forget everything about detoxifying with me?
