Love beyond the mask ( Whitney )
Chapter 886

"Parker! Felix has been looking for you everywhere..." Ludwik's towering figure strode into the room.

Parker turned around, glanced at Ludwik and Whitney, and then bulldozed past Ludwik to leave.

The room was too cold! So cold that Whitney shivered, she quickly ran to Tiana who had collapsed onto the bed, "Tiana, Tiana?... What happened? I just went out to get you some snacks, why did he show up?" Whitney had just called Ludwik after seeing Tiana shutting herself away, so she went out to grab some comfort food.

On her way back, she bumped into Ludwik rushing over.

Ludwik said, Felix had tracked down Parker, and he had come to the hospital.

They both had a bad feeling about it. Parker showing up at the hospital so quickly, how did he get the news?

They rushed in together.

But it seemed they were too late, the two had already had their argument, judging by the shattered things on the floor. Whitney looked at Tiana, who was in a daze, even more soulless than when she first found out she was pregnant. She looked up at Ludwik.

Ludwik gave her a profound look and quickly went after Parker, "Parker! Wait up, what did you and Ms. Melford talk about?"

"A woman of loose morals, what could I possibly say to her?" Parker was completely out of control.

Red-eyed and breathing heavily.

Ludwik frowned, trying to calm him down, "Don't talk like that, calm down. What exactly happened between you two?"

"Ludwik?" Parker looked back in confusion, a cold laugh staring at Ludwik as if pondering over a vexing question, he gritted his teeth and roared, "How am I inferior to Barclay?

She despises me, yet she falls for Barclay, couldn't resist rolling in the sheets with Barclay two months ago.

Am I not good enough at catering to women?

Haha... How could she be so cheap, seeking me out!

Despicable."

Ludwik's expression grew heavy, watching Parker's madness, speechless, not knowing how to persuade him. He looked too heartbroken.

And Parker's shout must have been heard by Tiana and Whitney in the room.

Ludwik glanced back.

The hospital room door was half-closed-

Tiana, crying and trembling, was sprawled on the bed, her fingertips clutching the sheets, her face ashen.

Whitney, frustrated and worried, "Tiana... Tiana! What's going on, why did you tell Parker you slept with Barclay? What exactly did you talk about, why does Parker suddenly hate you so much?"

As the hospital room door closed, Ludwik could no longer hear the two women talking.

He strode away to catch up with Parker, worried he might cause an accident in his current state.

Sure enough, just as they reached the hospital entrance, Parker's Cadillac sped off nearly hitting someone, not bothering to avoid pedestrians.

"Damn it, Parker, stop." Ludwik, fearing he might cause a fatality, immediately turned to his Rolls-Royce, "Felix, take another car, we need to stop him with two cars!"

Chaos ensued at the hospital exit.

In the room-

Whitney patiently waited for Tiana's crying to subside, helping her back onto the bed and tucking her in.

The woman let her do as she pleased, like a corpse drained of energy.

Whitney, both anxious and angry, finally felt helpless.

She stared at Tiana's pale face, guessing many things, slowly gripping her friend's cold fingers, whispering the truth she had surmised, "Since Parker showed up, and seeing you like this, I'm guessing, the child in your belly, it's his, isn't it?" Tiana weakly looked up.

"Shush." Whitney stopped her denial, her rational gaze sharp and cold, "It's his. Otherwise, you wouldn't have lied, saying you're two months pregnant.

Why!

Tiana, are you out of your mind? He got you pregnant, why not tell him the child is his?

Not only did you not tell him, but you also pinned it on Barclay, knowing how Parker feels about you.

He must be so disgusted!

You're just making him loathe and hate you, aren't you?!

Was it during those days on Saltland Island, right, that you two were together?

Tell me, please?"

The truth couldn't be hidden any longer, Whitney was too astute, and her silence revealed everything in front of her.

Besides, she was too distressed.

Tiana, covering her eyes as she sobbed, admitted awkwardly with a nod, "Back then, to cure the cold poison in his body, he initially fell into the sea and got bitten by a poisonous creature. Every episode would drive him mad, his uncle feared for his life during these episodes, and it was by accident that I found when he was emotionally agitated, the coldness in his body could dissipate. After that, I... didn't resist."

Whitney sighed deeply, "Then why didn't you tell him, that you slept with him to save him?"

Tiana smiled bitterly, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment, "If it were purely to save someone, without any feelings for him, I wouldn't have slept with him at all.

I feel guilty; only I know that I was lured in for a moment.

It was voluntary; knowing the entanglement between him and his brother, I still went to bed with him.

Whitney, you wouldn't accept it either, right? You would also keep this a secret, especially since Parker had lost his memory at the time, he wouldn't remember when he woke up.

This secret I kept perfectly, Phineas also promised me he wouldn't speak, respecting my decision.

If it weren't for the sudden pregnancy, Parker and I would have lived in peace."

"But his expression just now, I think he suspects something!

His anger tells me, he came today to ask for the truth, to know if the child is his?"

Whitney argued on behalf of Parker, "Tiana, you shouldn't have been so harsh and decisive, why make decisions for Parker himself, pushing him away like that?"

"Because he can't take responsibility."

Tiana's lips were cold as she showed Whitney her phone, "He lied to me, said he had broken up with Endora."

I had this idea in my head, you know. If he ever became single again, I thought maybe I could tell him, discuss with him what we could do about the baby.

But then Endora had to post that picture, proving he was still with her just this morning!

Whitney, you've always been there to reassure me, telling me he and Endora were just putting on a show.

But whether it's a show or not, only he knows the truth.

I mean, Endora told me she could never have kids, and do you really think Parker wouldn't feel obligated to stay by her side?

The Doonans, despite being open-minded, have their strict codes. And with Endora's heart as cold as ice, wouldn't she use that to corner Parker into marrying her?

How could things between them ever be straightforward, and where does that leave me?

Forget it.

Whitney, I just hope you understand, these past three years have been filled with embarrassment for me.

Three years ago, I paid a huge price along with my parents to bring little Cherry into this world. Since then, hiding and living in the shadows, I've never had a single day of peace. I didn't tell you because I didn't want to make you sad. How could I allow myself to go through this all over again, to have another child?
