Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 683

Sammy's brow furrowed as he quickly checked the location on his phone... This was exactly where amniocentesis is performed!

He took a deep breath, having always wanted to get a sample of the amniotic fluid DNA from Florence's womb.

And there she was, doing it herself.

But why would she go for a paternity test?

Puzzled as he was, Sammy didn't sit idle. He noted the time Florence entered the clinic and swiftly accessed the dark web, bribing a nurse in the genetics department of the hospital.

Another hour later, Florence emerged, a document in hand, escorted by her bodyguards as she left.

Meanwhile, Sammy received the test results from the nurse on his computer.

He stared in utter disbelief!

The document listed the mother as Whitney, his mom!

And the DNA obtained through amniocentesis matched Whitney's with 99% accuracy.

Sammy collapsed to the ground, clutching his laptop, his heart pounding like a drum.

His dark eyes began to redden.

Was this an unexpected joy or a bolt from the blue?

The child in Florence's womb... really was his mom's embryo.

His dad's child with Whitney!

His guess was correct. So, Florence's visit to Ryan was to obtain Whitney's DNA, which must have been preserved during her surgery!

His hunch had been right! And now, a weight seemed to press down on his soul.

The baby's parents, his dad and Whitney, had no idea...

And Florence obtaining such a DNA report – whom was it meant for?

Was it for Jarvis?!

Their lengthy secret discussion last night, was it about trading his sibling for something?

Sammy 's gaze turned icy, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

How could he protect this baby?

On the other side, Whitney drove to the Sheldon Group headquarters, rushing to a morning meeting.

After the meeting, Cody mentioned that Sandy took Danny to the company's children's center for fun.

He also pointed to the office, “Ms. Valentine, Mr. Nelson was looking to discuss a collaboration with you.”

Whitney turned to see Shane and inwardly rolled her eyes.

The old "business meeting" excuse.

“Mr. Nelson, is dropping by my company the only trick up your sleeve?”

Shane leaned back, stretching his legs, “I was about to ask you about Sandy’s whereabouts.”

Whitney incredulously replied, “You haven’t gotten her Facebook yet?”

“I have, but I dare not message too often. Afraid she’ll think I’m pestering her.”

Whitney gave him a ‘you are indeed pestering’ look, “She took my son out for fun.”

Shane feigned a heavy sigh, “When will she take her own daughter out?”

“That’s on you to figure out.”

Shane gave a bitter smile, resting his chin on his hand as he looked at Whitney, “It's frustrating. A bachelor like me, eager yet helpless!

You know, only if she opens up to me, drops her guard, can I possibly take her for a check-up to find out what’s really wrong, why she doesn’t recognize me.

Whitney, won’t you consider, unlocking her heart for me?”

Whitney snapped the file shut, “You’re trying to brainwash me again.

Do you realize that unlocking the gates of memory could unleash something horrifying, potentially hurting her?”

Shane wasn’t oblivious to the risks. He didn’t know what had happened to her during her studies abroad, leading to memory loss.

Was Florence involved?

He shrugged in despair, “You’re so heartless, securing your own happiness without caring for others?”

Who said she had secured her happiness?
