Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 324: Ask Amelia Out 

Amelia's POV:

Ever since I started this charade with Larry, I had kept my distance from Morgan.Bored and lonely, I sought company from Elizabeth and became a regular visitor.

After all, we were both getting old and didn't have that much to do.At least we could talk with each other and keep each other company.I also helped her recuperate every time I visited.

Seeing her grow more and more radiant, I couldn't help but feel proud.

Today, I went to visit Elizabeth again.To my surprise, Jennifer was there with her.

"Good morning, Amelia.What brings you here?"

As soon as Jennifer saw me, she smiled warmly and stood up to receive me.

"Oh, Jennifer, Amelia has been visiting me the past few days.I'm glad.She keeps me company,"

Elizabeth said with a kind smile.

"And I have to thank Amelia.She has taught me a lot of ways to recuperate.All of them are very useful."

"You flatter me, Mrs.Jones," I said, blushing.

"I just shared whatever I had picked up in the past."

"Is that so? Whatever the case, thank you so much, Amelia.Come and have a seat.How are you feeling?"

Jennifer took me to sit next to Elizabeth, while a maid poured me a cup of aromatic tea.I gratefully accepted the tea and took a sip.

"Thanks for your concern, Jennifer.My health has improved." Elizabeth nodded.

"You came just in time, Amelia.Since Jennifer is also here, why don't you tell us the latest news about that damned Larry?"

"Okay, Mrs.Jones.To tell you the truth, Larry has been contacting me more and more frequently recently.From what I can tell, it looks like he hasn't found out that he was poisoned with the magic drug Morgan developed.He's acting the same as before, urging me to leave the royal palace with him as soon as possible.

"That's to be expected," Jennifer said seriously.

"Larry might be powerful, but he has never been exposed to such a drug before.I doubt he'll find out that his magic energy is gradually decreasing until it's too late."

"True," I murmured, deep in thought.

"Well, anyway, I plan to keep in contact with him."

"Well done, Amelia.Thank you for doing this for us."

Elizabeth took my hand and squeezed it gently.

"You're welcome.Though, to be honest, I'm also doing this for myself." I waved my hand dismissively.

"If anything comes up, I'll inform you immediately."

As I spoke, I stood up and set the cup of aromatic tea aside.

"Mrs.Jones, could I do a check up on your body now?"

"Okay, okay."

With the help of the maid, Elizabeth was led to the bed and lay down.

Jennifer and I followed close behind her.

"You are getting better and better, Mrs.Jones," I said brightly as I scanned her body with my magic wand.

"As long as you rest and limit your stress, you'll definitely live a long life."

"That's wonderful, Mom!" Jennifer smiled happily. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"It's all thanks to Amelia and Roy."

Elizabeth sighed with emotion.

"It's the least I could do.Mr.Jones and Jennifer saved my life." I nodded modestly.

Then, Jennifer suddenly turned to me and frowned worriedly.

"Amelia, has Larry given you the antidote yet?"I shook my head woefully.

"No, he hasn't.But the poison hasn't taken effect this month.I haven't felt any pain recently.Don't worry, Jennifer.Larry keeps reaching out to me.If the poison strikes again, I think he'll be willing to help relieve the pain."

As I spoke, Jennifer carefully tucked Elizabeth in.

"I asked Anthony about this recently.He said that the doctors in the royal palace have been working hard, trying to develop an antidote.But, as far as I know, they haven't made much progress yet."

I was very touched.I didn't think that Jennifer and Anthony were that concerned about me.

"No rush," I said hurriedly.

"This kind of poison isn't fatal.I'm just thankful to know that you're trying to help."

"Amelia, don't just stand there," Elizabeth scolded lightheartedly.

"Sit down and make yourself at home."

I hesitated slightly before shaking my head.

"Thanks for the offer, Mrs.Jones, but I think I'd better get going.I'm worried that Larry will find out that we've become close and will begin to doubt me."

"Amelia's right.I'm sorry."

Jennifer stood up and walked with me to the door.

"Goodbye, Amelia.If anything happens, don't hesitate to contact us."I waved at her and Elizabeth.

"I will.Thanks for having me, you two.Goodbye!"

After closing the door behind me, I went straight to my room and dove for my phone.Sure enough, there was a message from Larry.

"I've been feeling a little tired recently.Honey, can you come out to go on a walk with me?"

My heart leapt in my chest when I read the message.

Oh, my God! The magic drug was working! I immediately replied to Larry.

"Sure, honey.When and where shall we meet?"

Elizabeth's POV:

I had always known that Jennifer was a good girl, so I had always wanted her to end up with Anthony.

Even when my poor son was plagued with the Love Curse, I still felt the same way and supported their union.

Every time I recalled Anthony's miserable situation back then and compared it with our present, happy life, I couldn't help but feel thankful that I had made that decision.

"It's been cold lately.Change Mom's blanket into a thicker one.Oh, and please put less sugar in her tea next time.It's not good for her health,"

Jennifer said to a maid after Amelia left.

I watched from aside, beaming with pride and satisfaction "This is my daughter-in-law I has chosen for my son!

"Jennifer, don't worry.The maids know what to do.Anyway, I want to go on a walk in the garden.Would you be so kind as to accompany me?"

"Of course, Mom!"

Jennifer hurried over and held my hand, ready to support me.

"Let me help you get out of bed."

After freshening up a bit, I headed to the garden with Jennifer.

"Has Carl contacted you recently?" I asked after a while.

Jennifer looked at me as though she didn't know whether to cry or to laugh.

"Mom, he has returned to his pack.I don't think we'll ever see each other again."

I knew that Jennifer had always been a considerate girl.I patted her hand with a smile and said, "I suppose that's for the best.I don't want Anthony to get jealous every day."

Jennifer blushed a bright red.

"You're making fun of me! I couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Well, let's stop talking about him.Do you remember our last call with Caroline? I promised her that I would visit her soon.Are you free to come with me? I think Austin and Caroline will be happy to see you, too."

"Of course I'll go with you, Mom.I'm sure Anthony would've wanted to go, but he's been so busy lately." Jennifer sighed.

"When are you planning to go, Mom?"

I took Jennifer's hand and fell silent for a moment, feeling a lump in my throat.

"The sooner, the better.I can't stand the thought of her suffering there."

"Then let's prepare to set off the day after tomorrow," Jennifer said with a smile, patting my hand comfortingly.

Now that we decided to visit Caroline, we went back to ask the maids to start packing for our trip.

While they did so, I personally called Caroline to inform her of our plan.

"Really?! I'm so happy, Mom.Thank you! I miss you so much!"

Caroline was choked with sobs.

"Can you bring Alice with you?"

Hearing how emotional Caroline's voice was, I replied gently, "Of course! She needs to see her mother."

After exchanging a few more words, I hung up the phone.I decided to wait until we saw each other face to face.Then, I led Jennifer to the baby room to see Alice.I sighed with relief.

Caroline finally could see Alice.As a mother, she must've missed her child very much.
