Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1023

"Yeah," Sammy choked back a sob, pulling out a meticulously prepared little bell from his bag. He leaned over the glass incubator, affectionately calling out to his sister, "Angel! This is a smart charm your big brother made for you. When you get better, I'll strap a tiny smartwatch on you. If you're ever hungry or thirsty in your crib, just a little cry, and this charm will send a notification to Mom's phone. She'll come right away to take care of you.

You'll never feel alone again, always full and warm, with family by your side, watching over you.

We all cherish you like the most precious gem.

You are the Lippert family's little treasure, so you... you have to get better, hear me?

It's the first time Brother and Danny have come to see you. Can you hear us?

We love you so much."

"Angel?" Danny's eyes suddenly reddened as he also leaned over the incubator to call their sister.

Even though he was confused and didn't quite understand Sammy's explanation, looking at the tiny, pink baby, he saw Mom - Whitney's features in her!

Her little nose was perky, her lips had a hint of pink, and her eyelashes were long. Everything about her was so adorable and soft.

Danny felt no repulsion towards this unfamiliar infant. Instead, he felt an immense pity for her, stirring up a deep affection within him.

"She really is our sister, right... Sammy, she looks like Mom! So beautiful! But she's so tiny, why is that, why?" Danny turned, bewildered, to ask their dad.

Ludwik stroked his hair, his voice heavy, "Dad's sorry to her."

"Don't say that, Dad," Sammy turned around, earnestly saying, "Thank goodness for you, or sister wouldn't have been born safely! But seeing her like this, I finally understand why you didn't tell Mom. It hurts me so much, I can't accept it, let alone Mom..."

"Dad's worried too, about how much it would hurt your mom if we couldn't save her, if she could get through it," Ludwik crouched down, his deep eyes filled with endless tenderness for that woman.
