Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1030

"Right! I thought Mr. Lippert had a meeting with you elsewhere," the housekeeper said with a smile.

Whitney didn't step inside. Glancing at her watch, it was almost nine o'clock.

The kids had just survived an explosion orchestrated by Bryce not too long ago. Why on earth were they not home at this hour? And Ludwik, was he with the kids?

She turned and started walking down the lane, pulling out her phone to make a call-

Just then, a car parked in the distance down the curve. Two bodyguards got out, followed by the kids being helped down from the car.

Squinting in the distance, Whitney watched as Sammy ran up to Danny. The brothers held hands, whispering under the cloak of night as they walked towards her.

Suddenly, Danny heaved a sigh, his little brows furrowed, "Sammy, do you ever think that mom's amazing at medicine, maybe she could heal sis..."

The rest of his sentence was abruptly silenced by Sammy's hand over his mouth.

They had entered the Lippert family's territory, and Sammy, wary of eavesdroppers, shot Danny a cautionary look.

Danny, not mentioning his sister's name, added, "Maybe mom could heal her?!"

Sammy sighed, giving him a stern look, "Danny, I'm sure dad has considered mom's medical skills. But in emergencies that require surgery, mom's traditional methods might not work as fast. Like dad says, if we can't talk about it, we can't talk about it.

Right now, we need to focus on getting her the best help, fast.

But what if mom gets upset...do you think dad should worry about her feelings? It might complicate things even more and delay the process.

Anyway, we just can't say."

"Can't say what?"
