Love Beyond the Mask novel Chapter 959

Whitney glanced at Tiana, who hadn't touched a bite since the wedding festivities yesterday. "Why don't you make a run to Spreadia Herbal Kitchen? Grab a bowl of ginseng and pork loin soup, a cup of raspberry leaf tea, and a fruit platter to go."

Parker hesitated, frowning slightly. The Spreadia Herbal Kitchen, well-known for its natural remedy cuisine, was a bit of a trek from their location.

He didn't want to leave Cherry's side, so he asked Whitney, "Isn't there another option?"

"No," Whitney said, her gaze fixed on his handsome features. "It's not just for me; it's for both me and Tiana."

Parker was even more puzzled. "Why does she need such nourishing food?"

She mentioned she had a miscarriage. Shouldn't she be focusing on gentle detoxing instead? The pork loin and raspberry leaf sounded more like they were meant for pregnancy support. Parker wasn't well-versed in holistic medicine; his thoughts were a complex mix, somewhat chilled by the ordeal, unwilling to dwell on the matter of her losing someone else's child.

Whitney gave him a sharp look, "Don't ask so many questions; just go and get it."

Parker cast a glance at Tiana, who hadn't turned around, her sleek black hair concealing her expression.

He left the room in silence, a cigarette tucked between his slender fingers, starting to smoke as he walked down the hallway. Passing nurses, catching sight of this stylish, bespectacled man, didn't dare to stop him. He seemed deeply troubled, his aura icy.

-

At six in the morning, Tiana's mother, Celine, rushed over from the cardiology department.

"What's going on? I heard from the nurses that the hospital admitted a little girl last night, there was a big commotion in the ER, and it turns out it was Cherry!

Tiana, something as serious as your child being kidnapped and you didn't even let me know?"

Celine hurried into the room, her face falling further at the sight of Cherry's unconscious state.

"Mom...the baby's okay, the doctors said there's no danger to her life."

Tiana stood to support her mother, trying to downplay the severity, "She's just exhausted, that's all."

"Is she really okay? Whitney!" Celine was skeptical, turning to Whitney for confirmation.

Whitney had no choice but to lie, "Cherry did indeed suffer some bruises and is resting now."

Standing by the bed, Celine seemed to deflate, her gaze fixed on her granddaughter's bruised face, tears falling silently, "What did the Melford family do to deserve all this trouble?"

"Mom, how's Dad doing?"

Tiana was also drained, having spent the entire night searching for Cherry. She vaguely remembered Ashton mentioning that Parker had confronted Endora to get the remaining half of the antidote, which they had brought to Skyfaith Hospital last night.

The memory made her anxious, "Mom, did Dad take that half of the antidote?"

Celine nodded, a trace of comfort in her voice, "Thank goodness for Mr. Doonan! Your father's condition was critical last night, and I couldn't find you. I knew there was trouble at the wedding...

Fortunately, at seven o'clock, Mr. Doonan brought the antidote. He handed it over to the cardiology experts, had a talk with the doctor, and after your father took it, his condition began to show signs of improvement in the early hours. The doctors said it was a good sign.

Didn't Whitney manage to find a suitable heart for the transplant?

The doctors decided there was no time to lose; given your father's slight improvement, they proceeded with the heart transplant surgery overnight!
