Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 705

The group left, and the door to the cell was slammed shut.

Tiana was frozen in place, dumbfounded. Parker had been poisoned.

His cries of agony echoed continuously, filled with pain.

Her heart clenched in sympathy.

She speculated that after he had been shot by those men, he had jumped into the sea to escape. Because he was bleeding from the gunshot wound, it was likely that he attracted some of the ocean's rare venomous creatures.

He had been bitten, and after a narrow escape from death, he ended up both amnesiac and poisoned.

Her thoughts slowly coalesced, bringing order to the chaos before her.

Clearly, the middle-aged man was indeed related to Parker, showing genuine concern for him.

That day, when Barclay came to Emperor City looking for trouble and inadvertently revealed that Parker's maternal family was influential, seemingly close confidants of the president, Barclay boasted about getting Ludwik thrown into jail.

And he had made good on his threat.

The police in Emperor City had been pressured by the president's office to arrest Ludwik.

Meaning, Parker's uncle was not only wealthy and influential but also possessed significant power!

Now, this uncle was hiding Parker here, nursing him back to health.

And he had misunderstood her intentions, thinking she was there to harm Parker.

How was she supposed to get out of this godforsaken place?

The most pressing matter was to get close to Parker, find a way to restore his memory, and clear up the misunderstanding with his uncle so they could leave.

She was anxious about not being able to return to Emperor City, worried that no one would expose Bryce, that scumbag, and what he might do to Whitney.

Moreover, if Ludwik couldn't find Parker, he would be charged with murder.

Oh, how she missed her daughter...

With tears in her eyes, Tiana stood up, feeling both wronged and panicked. She looked around the cell, wondering how she could escape and see Parker. She desperately wanted to know how he was doing.

The priority was to heal him and help him remember her.

Tiana frantically searched the room until her eyes lit upon a vent in the cell wall...

-

In Emperor City, at the Nelson family mansion.

Shane drove home to make lunch for his daughter.

As he got out of the car, he saw Ludwik standing rigidly at his doorstep, obviously having waited for some time.

The man raised his eyebrows thoughtfully, debating whether to slip away now or continue home—

"Shane." Ludwik called out to him with a cold tone.

"Hey, Ludwik, what brings you here?"

Shane reluctantly got out of the car, walking over with the grace of a gentleman.

Ludwik, hearing the jest, said, "Mr. Nelson, everyone in Emperor City is kicking me when I'm down. I thought, despite our past disagreements, we were somewhat equal rivals, friends even. Do you really need to mock me?"

"Oh… not at all. Just got used to calling you Ludwik," Shane touched his nose, not wanting to put on airs and sincerely added, "Besides, in my eyes, the current top dog of Harmonia Country, Jarvis, is nothing compared to you."
