Love Beyond the Mask by Adelaide Sinclair

Chapter 1055 "You turn into a ghost when you're working, completely cut off from your phone like you're in some deserted island.

Didn't I remind you last night to sweet-talk Whitney a bit?

Your eyes seemed like you wanted to, but there was the whole deal with stabilizing Inko Group. Now that you have a moment, give her a call, for Pete's sake."

Ludwik picked up on this, already intending to do so, "No need for your nagging."

He hadn't touched his phone all night. Lifting his eyelids, he checked his messages.

Sammy had sent him a text: [Dad! Mom's back at Delight Mansion, so we decided to sneak over to see our sister today. I'll be extra careful!

Remember to have Uncle Shane open the ICU for our sister, and send over the specialists. I want to know how her treatment's progressing.]

Ludwik furrowed his brow. Why had Whitney gone back to Delight Mansion?

Reading Sammy's message, his eyes darkened slightly. His long fingers typed back to his son, "Shane will handle it. But why did your mom go back?"

Sammy replied: [...I might've ticked her off.]

Ludwik: [?]

[Sorry, Dad. Mom's been really on our case, and I think she didn't believe what I told her.]

Ludwik started to piece together his son's intent. Sammy cared deeply for his sister and wanted to be by her side.

His thick eyebrows knitted together. [If she's suspicious of something, don't make any rash moves! Have you set off already?]

[Yeah. I'll be careful, I have a plan.] Sammy responded confidently.

As the chat window closed, Ludwik's gaze drifted down, noticing a missed call in his contacts.

It was from Whitney!

His face changed slightly as he quickly checked the time it was 11 PM last night.

What could she have wanted at such an hour?

A flash of regret crossed his eyes.

He had deliberately ignored her call that day, and he hadn't been home for days. She must've been frustrated. She finally reached out, and he missed it...
