Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 816

Florence was up to no good, that much was clear. Why would she visit her dad without an ulterior motive?

Plus, her dad was already aware that she wasn’t his biological daughter. After all the terrible things her family had done, how could he even consider seeing her?

What on earth was going on here?

“Mrs. Wendt, I’m starting to think Dr. Ivan didn’t leave his job under normal circumstances. This might have everything to do with Florence’s visit to see my dad. We’ve been duped by a smoke screen!

I told you a hundred times not to let anyone visit my dad. How could you let Florence through?”

The caregiver was at a loss for words, “The day Ms. Sheldon showed up, I tried to stop her. Mr. Sheldon didn’t want to see her either.

But there she was, heavily pregnant, sobbing outside, begging to apologize face-to-face to the chairman, sharing her tragic story. After being abandoned by Mr. Lippert, she didn’t know what to do about the baby.

She went on about how her mother and Hugh Sheldon were punished too. Now with Jared’s health declining, she didn’t want to be a burden to her grandparents. She said she was planning to leave town for good and just wanted to see her dad one last time.

The chairman, having raised Ms. Sheldon, couldn’t bear it and ordered me to let her in…”

That spelled trouble!

Whitney’s expression grew colder the more she listened, “After she went in, did you stay with my dad the whole time?”

“There was a moment when Ms. Sheldon’s pregnancy seemed to cause her pain, and I had to leave for about fifteen minutes to fetch an obstetrician.”

Whitney clenched her fists, her face turning pale!

Once the caregiver left, knowing Florence’s malevolence, she might have seized the opportunity to act against her dad.

But what could she possibly want with her dad now?

She was practically powerless, and even if she threatened her dad, she couldn’t return to the Sheldon Group.

Wait a minute…

The truth about everything her dad learned upon waking up had been ‘accidentally’ revealed by Bryce.

And now Florence suddenly sneaking into the hospital room… Were those two scheming together?

A shiver ran through Whitney’s eyes as she quickly said, “Mrs. Wendt, is my dad awake? Can you get him on the phone?”

After a rustle, Hudson’s concerned voice came through, “Whitney, you haven’t been to the hospital in days. Is something wrong?”

“Dad, I wanted to ask you, after I refused to let Bryce join the Sheldon Group partnership, did Bryce come to see you again? You didn’t get pressured into signing anything, did you?”

“Uh?” Hudson’s mind raced to catch the key points, his face changing subconsciously, but he couldn’t remember signing any contracts. After a moment of thought, he shook his head in confusion, “I don’t think so. I don’t remember signing anything.”

“Really?” Whitney sensed the uncertainty in his voice, her temples throbbing, “Dad, how have you been feeling these past few days? Why is your speech so unclear? You should be getting better.

Could someone have… given you some medication?

Think carefully, did Florence make you take anything when she visited?”

“Whitney, I…” Hudson’s head began to ache as he tried to recall, a blurry memory flashing by, “I remember taking an orange pill that wasn’t prescribed by the hospital, but I really can’t remember who gave it to me.”
