Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 213: Caroline's Premature Labor 

Elizabeth's POV:

After the emergency meeting, Anthony and Jennifer helped me back to my room.

Before me, I could see a well-matched couple who loved each other.

This only made me feel worse about the fact that they were about to embark on a dangerous journey to protect their love.

"Anthony, my child, I hope you find the divine flower as soon as possible." I took my son's hand and spoke sincerely.

"Thank you, Mom.If anything comes up, don't hesitate to contact me." Anthony hugged me tightly.

"Mrs.Jones, please take care of yourself," Jennifer added, her voice tinged with concern.

"I will," I replied with a smile.

"Now, you two should head back and get some rest."

However, Anthony insisted on calling Roy here to inquire him about my health.

"Don't worry, Mr.Jones.Many of the books Amelia gave me are about medical treatments.I've used various spells recorded in the books to nurse Mrs.Jones back to good health.So far, the effects have been good.Her health is getting better each day," Roy said with a smile.

Both Anthony and Jennifer were pleasantly surprised. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

"I told you so.You never believed me!" I said, pointing at Anthony helplessly.

"Anthony just cares about you," Jennifer said with a chuckle.

"Roy, thanks again. We really appreciate your help."

Anthony and I also sincerely expressed our thanks to Roy, but the wizard simply waved his hand dismissively.

"No need to thank me.If it weren't for the books Amelia gave me, I wouldn't have been able to help as much." Roy waved his hand.

"Then I am indebted to both of you.I'll pay my thanks to you two properly when I have the time," I said with a smile.

"Well, let's let Mrs.Jones rest now. She must be tired after such a busy day," Jennifer suggested to Anthony.

Anthony nodded and said goodbye to me.Then, they left my room, together with Roy.

Alone in bed, I locked around the empty room and sighed deeply.

"Honey...our child has grown up."

I reached for the framed photo on the bedside table.It was a picture of me and my deceased husband.

Seeing his smiling face, I couldn't help but shed tears.

"Anyway, I will protect what you left behind," I muttered to the photo.

I made up my mind that I would not let anyone tinker with the political situation of the kingdom before Anthony came back.

Anthony's POV:

After returning to our room, Jennifer and I briskly began to pack up our things.

While Jennifer was in the Rainbow Pack, I had collected a lot of information about the snow mountain.

Together with the intel provided by Amelia, I was finally able to determine the location of the ever elusive mountain.

The Tear of Edith grew on this snow mountain, which was located in the northernmost part of Osman Kingdom, five thousand meters above the sea level.

It was a steep mountain.

It was said that countless rock climbers had attempted to conquer that mountain, but in the end, their efforts were futile.

"Jennifer, the snow mountain is treacherous.It's steep, the wind is chilly, and I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it." I looked at her worriedly.

"Oh, honey, you underestimate me.I'm not as fragile as you think.I'm sure I can face those difficulties alongside you," Jennifer replied with a smile.

My expression softened.

What an amazing she-wolf I had! I shook my head and smiled helplessly.

"Excuse me, is Mr.Jones here?" Suddenly, someone knocked on the door.

"What's up?"

When I opened the door, I saw Amelia standing outside.

She looked much healthier than before.

"Mr.Jones, I've refined this magic medicine to protect its user against the cold.As you know, the snow mountain will be freezing cold; take this medicine and you will be able to resist the cold temporarily.I don't know if you'll end up needing it, but I figured it would be useful."

Amelia took out two bottles of magic medicine and handed them to me.

"It's just a little gift from me.It's nothing.Please don't mention it."

"This is exactly what we need, Amelia!"

Jennifer quickly took the magic medicine from me and thanked her.

"We're going to the snow mountain in just a few days.This magic medicine is very reassuring.Thank you."

I also nodded to express my thanks to her.

"We have sent some people to look for your husband.If there is any news, I will have them inform you immediately.Please feel at home in the royal palace in the meantime."

"Thank you very much, Mr.Jones." Amelia thanked me and left.

After receiving the medicine, both Jennifer and I had more confidence in our trip to the snow mountain and continued to pack up the rest of our things.

"Mr.Jones, Mrs.Jones asked me to report to you that something happened to Miss Wilson.She went into labor in the prison," said a maid who came in a hurry.

"What? Let's go and have a look, Anthony." Jennifer was in shock.

I nodded and together we rushed to the prison.

The prison was wet and cold.

If Caroline gave birth here, it obviously put her and the baby at risk.However, when we arrived, we found only an empty cell.

"Where is Caroline?" I asked a guard with a frown.

"Mrs.Jones took Miss Wilson and Mr.Jones away," the guard answered respectfully.

After hearing the news, Jennifer and I immediately rushed to my mother's residence.

"Argh"

As soon as we entered, we saw many doctors pacing back and forth.

Through several walls, we could hear Caroline's sharp screams.

"Oh, my God!"

Jennifer didn't have the heart to look at the scene.She closed her eyes and held my hand tightly.

"I hope she'll be fine."

I didn't say anything and continued to walk into the room while holding Jennifer's hand.
