Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel Chapter 725

"I'm at the hospital, the car got totally smashed."

Whitney's heart skipped a beat listening to the sobbing on the other end of the phone. How could such a terrible thing happen to such a young kid?

Panic-stricken and without thinking twice, she said, "Okay, mommy's coming right over, honey. Don't cry, let the doctor take a look first."

After hanging up, Whitney rushed to the study to inform Bryce.

On impulse, she lied, saying there was a little emergency at work she needed to handle.

After all, mentioning Danny could potentially upset Bryce, especially since they had a disagreement earlier that day at the police station.

-

At the hospital.

Ashton reluctantly drove over the Bentley that Ludwik had damaged a couple of days ago.

"It’s been quite the effort to stage this scene," Danny said in a cold, pleasing tone.

"You guys are unbelievable, tricking Whitney with the same old tricks."

Ashton couldn't help but complain.

However, Ludwik, ever so composed, directed him, "That dent isn't enough; drive it under that tree and hit it again."

Ashton was flabbergasted. "Are you out of your mind? You're bankrupt, Ludwik, how many more Bentleys can you afford to crash?"

"There are a few more in the underground garage," he said nonchalantly.

Ashton was on the verge of losing it.

Danny, too, looked helplessly at his father, "Mommy won't notice that much detail."

"That's because you don't know her well. She's been managing the Sheldon Group; you think she’s easy to fool? Besides, didn't you say the car was completely smashed?"

Danny was speechless. "Now you’re blaming me? Would mommy have come if I hadn’t exaggerated? Remember when I had a fishbone stuck and you told me to tell mommy I was getting surgery? You’re the master scammer; I learned from the best."

"…Shut up." Ludwik's stern face darkened, "Stop bringing up the past. Just get on the bed and lie down; she must be arriving soon."

The man's deep gaze then turned to Ashton, "Is everything sorted with the doctor?"

"Don't worry, everything's been taken care of. The medical report is ready; there won't be any loopholes."

Ashton was speechless. Ludwik had gone to great lengths to deceive Whitney.

"Then you better lie down quickly, and apply more iodine."

He left the room, shaking his head.

Soon after, Whitney arrived at the hospital in a flurry, pushing open the door of the room—

Danny, who was munching on candy, almost choked but managed to swallow it quickly and closed his eyes, pretending to be asleep in Ludwik’s arms.

"Danny…"

"Shh, he just fell asleep," Ludwik said, looking up at Whitney with a calm face.

Whitney nodded and, removing her high heels, tiptoed into the room.
