Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 327

Whitney could barely stand as the shock made her body sway. She turned around, blinking in disbelief at the sight of Sammy lying in bed.

"Danny, you’ve got to stop scaring Mommy like this! Her little heart, though strong, can't take our shenanigans. Come here, let's explain everything to her. She won’t be mad at us."

Sammy's voice was weak but carried a playful tone.

Whitney clenched her delicate hands, her eyes wide and filled with tears and surprise, struggling to keep her voice gentle, "My child, you are, you're my..."

"I'm your other son, Mommy, waaah..."

Danny, seeing her beckoning, scampered over like a kitten finally heeding its mother's call, plunging into Whitney's embrace.

Tiana, watching from behind, teared up, sharing in Whitney's joy.

"What in the world is going on? So, you're Danny?" Whitney realized that 'Danny', whom Ludwik had been calling out for, wasn't Sammy. She had misunderstood, but how big of a misunderstanding was it? A colossal secret?

"Mom, how can you even ask what's going on? We're your sons, both of us. Didn't you know?" Sammy looked at her, his eyes twinkling with amusement as he gently rolled his eyes.

Whitney was speechless, her heart pounding with a mix of fear and astonishment.

"Basically, Danny was whisked away by dear old Dad right when he was born, while you and I jumped into the ocean, eventually ending up abroad without ever meeting him. Dad didn't know about Sammy, just like you didn't know about Danny. Each of you thought there was only one son. At that gala auction, you mistook Danny for me, bringing him home, while Dad mistakenly recognized me as his son..."

Sammy narrated the bewildering events of the past days with a slow, measured breath.

Whitney and Tiana listened, their eyes widening with each twist and turn of the tale, emotions swirling uncontrollably.

Whitney felt a whirlwind of emotions, her mind racing as she looked at her two precious boys, tears streaming down her face.

It turned out, on that fateful night three years ago, she had given birth to twins in the wild. Twins, indeed. Yet, from prenatal checks to delivery, every medical report suggested she was carrying only one child. She never diagnosed herself properly, attributing the unusual size of her belly to excessive amniotic fluid.

Could Ludwik have known all along? Had he deliberately kept this from her, even altering the medical records? Furious at the thought, Whitney's heart ached for her sons. "So, you two little rascals have known about each other, secretly meeting and swapping places to fool us?"

Her voice carried a mix of irritation and affection, recalling how Sammy had seemed off lately, his personality flipping like a switch. And then, there was the time at Christian's Diner when Ludwik had supposedly taken 'Sammy', who miraculously appeared back home, a digit off on his ID bracelet.
