Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 959

Whitney glanced at Tiana, who hadn't touched a bite since the wedding festivities yesterday. "Why don't you make a run to Spreadia Herbal Kitchen? Grab a bowl of ginseng and pork loin soup, a cup of raspberry leaf tea, and a fruit platter to go." Parker hesitated, frowning slightly. The Spreadia Herbal Kitchen, well-known for its natural remedy cuisine, was a bit of a trek from their location.

He didn't want to leave Cherry's side, so he asked Whitney, "Isn't there another option?"

"No," Whitney said, her gaze fixed on his handsome features. "It's not just for me; it's for both me and Tiana."

Parker was even more puzzled. "Why does she need such nourishing food?"

She mentioned she had a miscarriage. Shouldn't she be focusing on gentle detoxing instead? The pork loin and raspberry leaf sounded more like they were meant for pregnancy support. Parker wasn't well-versed in holistic medicine; his thoughts were a complex mix, somewhat chilled by the ordeal, unwilling to dwell on the matter of her losing someone else's child.

Whitney gave him a sharp look, "Don't ask so many questions; just go and get it."

Parker cast a glance at Tiana, who hadn't turned around, her sleek black hair concealing her expression.

He left the room in silence, a cigarette tucked between his slender fingers, starting to smoke as he walked down the hallway. Passing nurses, catching sight of this stylish, bespectacled man, didn't dare to stop him. He seemed deeply troubled, his aura icy.

At six in the morning, Tiana's mother, Celine, rushed over from the cardiology department.

"What's going on? I heard from the nurses that the hospital admitted a little girl last night, there was a big commotion in the ER, and it turns out it was Cherry!

Tiana, something as serious as your child being kidnapped and you didn't even let me know?"

Celine hurried into the room, her face falling further at the sight of Cherry's unconscious state.
