Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Jennifer's POV:

With Anthony doing his best to comfort me, I finally managed to calm down.

After ordering the maid to deal with the gruesome parcel that Larry had sent, Anthony took me to see Elizabeth.

When we entered Elizabeth's room, we found her chatting and laughing with Roy, who seemed to have arrived just seconds before us.

"Mrs.Jones, you look much better today than yesterday," Roy said to Elizabeth

"Thanks to you, Roy, I even feel as if I'm younger than before,"

Elizabeth replied to him, beaming.

"You are indeed looking younger and younger, Mrs.Jones,"

Roy praised, which made Elizabeth grin from ear to ear.

Anthony and I walked over at this time.

"Mom, Jennifer and I came here to see you."

"How are you feeling, Mrs.Jones?" I asked, smiling at her in greeting.

"Oh, the two of you are here.Come and sit down.I feel much better.Roy's healing magic is really amazing!"

Lying in the bed, Elizabeth waved us over.

When I took a closer look at her, I found that she indeed looked much better and healthier, which came as a great relief to me.

"The healing magic that Larry recorded in his books turns out to be very effective.Mrs.Jones is recovering much faster than I expected,” Roy told us excitedly.

"Now, as long as she remains in a good mood, she'll be back to normal in no time.”

"With Jennifer and Anthony around, how can I not be in a good mood? Besides, I can't wait to see my grandchild.”

Elizabeth smiled and patted me on the hand.

"Then we'll come to see you every day,"l told her, forcing a smile.

"Jennifer, you look troubled. What's wrong?"

Elizabeth asked keenly, squinting at me.

Then, she turned to Anthony with a glare.

It was just as we had feared.

Larry seemed to be targeting all of us.

"Don't worry, Morgan.”

I patted Morgan's shoulder and gave it an encouraging squeeze before turning to the attendant behind me.

"Call the best royal doctor here immediately.Hurry up.”

The attendant nodded and quickly strode out of the room.

Jennifer walked over to the bedside and held Amelia's hand with a guilty look.

"I'm sorry, Amelia.It's all our fault. We promised to protect you well, but we failed.”

"No, it's not your fault..Jennifer, Larry already poisoned me..when I was...imprisoned by him," Amelia squeezed out with difficulty.

The amount of pain she was going through to even form a few words was evident on her face. Jennifer nodded seriously.

"Shh, it's okay.Don't say anything now.Let's wait for the doctor to arrive.You should have a good rest till then.”

Not long after, the doctor arrived with a medical team, who carried Amelia on a stretcher and took her to the hospital for a thorough examination.

Jennifer, Morgan, and I followed the ambulance all the way to the hospital, where we anxiously waited for the result.

About half an hour later, we were told that the examination was over.

When we went into the emergency room together, we saw Amelia lying on the bed.

The doctor came to us with a grave look.

"Mr.Jones, according to the patient's symptoms, we have come to the preliminary conclusion that she is suffering from chronic poisoning caused by a nerve drug.The drug has invaded her internal organs.She has to take the antidote as soon as possible.Otherwise, her condition will keep worsening.”

"I see. Well, do you have the antidote here?" I asked.

As I expected, the doctor shook his head.

"The antidote must be a substance that counteracts the specific drug that the patient has ingested.Unfortunately, we are still investigating which drug it is.Mr.Jones, I'm afraid that it will take a long time for us to find out.”

As I listened to the doctor's words, my heart sank.

"In that case, is it possible to operate on her to remove the drug from her system?"

"Theoretically, the drug in the patient's body can be removed through hemodialysis multiple times, Mr.Jones, but her condition is too weak, so that method will be very risky.It's unlikely that the patient will be able to survive such a strenuous surgery," the doctor replied, sighing heavily.

"All right.Call all of the doctors here to analyze Amelia's condition and decide on a treatment plan for her.At the same time, try to figure out what the drug is as soon as possible,”

I instructed the doctor carefully.

"Yes, Mr.Jones.”

After checking Amelia's condition once more, the doctor left the room

As soon as we were all alone, Morgan held my hand gratefully.

"Thank you, Mr.Jones.Thank you for helping to save Amelia!"

I shook my head and mustered up a smile at him.

"It's no big deal.It's just what I should do."

"Morgan..."

At this moment, Amelia let out a painful groan.

Morgan immediately let go of my hand and hurried to Amelia's bedside.

I looked back at Jennifer, who nodded at me.

The two of us left the room together, giving the couple some privacy.

"I feel sorry for Amelia.” Jennifer sighed.

"Larry won't let her go.”

"He's probably in the royal palace now.We have to think of a way to lure him out.”

With every passing moment, I felt more and more disgusted with Larry and the lengths that he was willing to go to.

Moreover, it seemed that he was getting more complacent.

He dared to hurt my mother, threaten Jennifer, and even poison Amelia.

What if he managed to hurt Jennifer later? I had to catch him and throw him in jail before he could do any more damage, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
