Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1004

"Baby girl..." Ludwik stood outside the glass door, his heart twinging with guilt, "Your little face, so tiny. Just glanced at it in a hurry, but I can see your mom, Whitney, in you. You've been through so much already...

What shall we name you? Maybe we should wait until your mom knows about you, then we can pick out the most beautiful name together.

But little one, you've got to fight, to stay with us until then."

His deep voice murmured in solitude, long fingers covering his bloodshot eyes.

This was his and Whitney's genetics, nothing to do with Florence!

Poor thing, stolen as an embryo, used as a tool to threaten him. After enduring so much, he finally got his child back. Now, all he wanted was for his daughter to survive.

If only she had safely grown inside Whitney, developing healthily...

The night dragged on, but the doctor didn't come out.

His assistant called, "Mr. Lippert, I'm taking over your secretary's duties. Your secretary went to get you some breakfast, you've been up all night.

Also, Florence has been stitched up but left in the operating room, untreated.

It's morning now, and doctors are starting to arrive. They'll notice something's off with Florence. If they call the cops, the Germinia police might arrest us for breaking and entering. Should we, perhaps, eliminate Florence to cover our tracks?

Or what should we do?"

Ludwik frowned, icily. He had lost his sense of reason the night before, but now he was calm, contemplating. Murdering someone in a foreign land was out of the question; it would only get him in deeper trouble. If he was going to eliminate Florence, it would have to be back in his home country!

And more importantly, how did Florence end up in the hospital, and who was paying her hefty medical bills?

Someone was still lurking in the shadows.
