Love beyond the mask (Whitney) novel - Chapter 118

Chapter 118 Whitney had half a mind to hurt a pillow at him with all her might, the scoundrel. Climbing onto her tiny bed, she resolved to give him the silent treatment. Ludwik licked his lips and teased her with a devilish charm, "See? It doesn't hurt anymore. I told you, my technique works wonders." "Drop dead." Whitney buried her flushed face into the pillow, extending a foot, attempting to push his hospital bed away The man watched her quietly, his gaze lingering on her delicate, pale foot.

He mused that perhaps he had not had his fill But when he awoke the next morning, his wife was nowhere to be seen, and Ludwik's expression darkened. Felix entered, saying. "Madam went back to the villa early this morning. She wanted to check on Natalie and said she'd bring over some of your clothes." Ah, she was probably too shy after last night's intimacy to face him in the morning. Ludwik's lips curled into a smirk once more. Witnessing Mr.

Lippert's mood swung that could rival the weather, Felix grimaced inwardly. Love was a no-go for him if it meant becoming lovesick like Mr. Lippert, Back at the villa, Whitney made sure to visit Natalie in the guesthouse. Natalie was nearly back to her old self, her consciousness clear. Holding Whitney's hand, she expressed her joy. "My dear Whitney, it's been too long. Is your little bump showing yet? That rascal told me over the phone you're about four months along.

Once we get the ultrasound, I'll have a good look." Natalie's condition was undoubtedly deteriorating, as she was even unclear about the duration of the pregnancy. Whitney sighed inwardly. However, Natalie looked at her intently and added, "I seem to recall, on the day of my episode, were you there? I remember you saying something by my bedside, encouraging me. Whitney, you're truly kind-hearted." Whitney was elated, amid Natalie's confused memories, she remembered her presence.

But there was no need to explain anything to L; she had intended to save Natalie sincerely, though Elaine had reaped the benefits. She initially hid her medical skills, so revealing it now might lead L. to overthink.
