Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 206

Chapter 206 

Body and soul, a gift from mom and dad; she loved him, sure, but she 

had to ask their blessing before making a sacrifice

You weren’t there when the kidney transplant happened, right?Whitney prodded

Ludwik shook his head

Whitney snickered inside but took a roundabout approach, To get the full picture of Mom’s condition, maybe you should retrace her entire journey from kidney failure to transplant.” 

You still suspect Elaine?Ludwik’s gaze was unreadable

If you believe I was saving Mom that night, then someone else caused her kidney failure!Whitney stated pointedly

Ludwik pinched the bridge of his nose, considering her logic. There had to be a reason for his mother’s sudden kidney failure

If not Whitney, then perhaps Elaine was involved

But he couldn’t investigate. To do so would mean doubting Elaine, who had sacrificed so much for him. If she were innocent, it would break her 

heart

After a few seconds of contemplation, Ludwik instructed the maid, Go to the front yard, wake Elaine. I need to confront her and Ms. Valentine 

facetoface.” 

Whitney looked up, startled. Did he believe her

Otherwise, why would he want to confront Elaine? Although he hadn’t mentioned reopening the investigation, Whitney was surprised! Her heart pounded with foolish hope

Elaine, having just bribed a hospital doctor, stepped out to find her trusted maid on the phone

pier 

Miss, something’s up. The Boss took Whitney to the main house early this morning to see his mother, and I don’t know what they’ve discussed, but he suddenly asked me to wake you, said he needs to see you in person! He doesn’t know you’re not in your room. What should I tell him?” 

Elaine’s legs almost gave way

Lyra furrowed her brows, It must be that wretch Whitney. She’s convinced the Boss of something. He might be suspecting the kidnapping incident!” 

Elaine bit her lip, going pale

Damn Parker for starting this. Ludwik’s softening towards Whitney, taking her to see the old lady

Maybe Whitney replayed the facts, and this time, Ludwik might be listening

Lyra grimaced, Just say I’m at the hospital for suture removal. I’ll be 

back soon.” 

The maid hung up, but Elaine was rattled. Returning now, she’d face a confrontation with Whitney, and although confident in her deceit, Whitney was no pushover, and Ludwik was shrewd. If he suggested revisiting the transplant, she’d be in trouble

Her arrangements were meticulous, but fear of oversight lingered

Damn it, she needed a distraction for Ludwik, to bury any suspicion. Snatching her phone, she dialed furiously, Jaxon, why haven’t you found that video of Whitney and Bryce?” 

Miss, I haven’t got anything yetAs Jaxon hesitated, Elaine’s phone pinged with a new email

She opened the attachment, stunned by the contents

Then, checking the sender’s details, found it anonymous

Chapter 

Who was this timely ally

Elaine smirked, her panic subsiding as she slid into her car with

cunning smile, instructing Lyra, Get the media on the line, as many as possible!” 

Whitney, you think you can expose me? You’ve just sealed your fate

Boss, Elaine’s suture removal was this morning. She’s at the hospital and will return soon,the maid informed Ludwik

Frowning, Ludwik mused, Why didn’t she tell me? Did she go alone?” 

I’m not sure,the maid trembled

Whitney glanced at the clock. Barely past seven, was Elaine that eager for suture removal

The hospital for the removal was the same one for the surgery. Considering Ludwik’s recent questioning, Whitney suspected Elaine was panicking

Wait outside for me,Ludwik said, turning to his mother

Whitney nodded and left the house

Standing by his mother’s bedside, Ludwik sighed, Mother, do you believe Whitney means no harm?” 

Clasping her hand, his eyes showed pain, To be honest, forgiving her feels like betraying you. But without her, I’m hollow. What should I do?” 

He seemed to have his answer

Damn it, I still want her. If she hasn’t hurt you or wronged me, can I keep her?” 

He chuckled wryly, clenching his fist, then guiltily walked out

Seeing her delicate form in the hallway, his lips curved involuntarily. 

Could he begin to let go of his deepseated hatred

Let’s go,” he said, reaching for her hand

Whitney stumbled, her heartbeat thundering, her hand trembling in his

He felt her stiffness but said nothing as they walked together to the 

main house

Was she dreaming? His hand holding hers, could he be forgiving her

His softened demeanor sent her heart racing, anxious and hopeful

Back in the villa, Ludwik ordered breakfast

He called a doctor to take her temperature, even placing the cold pack on her forehead himself
