Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 178

Anthony's POV: 

After breakfast, Jennifer and I went to visit my mother.

As soon as we arrived at her room, one of my attendants came in to report a piece of news to me.

"Mr.Jones, we have received word that the king has brought a stranger back to the royal palace with him.The king treats him as a distinguished guest, even though he looks like an ordinary werewolf."

Why would Austin bring an unknown werewolf to the palace and treat him like a distinguished guest? I had a feeling that something fishy was going on.

My gut was telling me that Austin's distinguished guest couldn't have been just an ordinary werewolf.

"Have you taken any photos of Austin’s guest?" I asked.

"Yes, Mr.Jones.I've sent it to you."

"Good work! Please, continue to keep an eye on Austin."

I smiled to show my appreciation and waved my hand at my attendant.

"You can leave now."

"Who could be that mysterious werewolf? What's Austin up to this time?"

Jennifer frowned as she couldn't help but feel worried.

"Austin and I know each other very well.I think he must have guessed that I'm going to make a move. My best guess is that werewolf is here to help him " I said calmly.

Then I took out my phone to look at the photo my attendant had sent to me.The werewolf standing next to Austin looked nothing out of the ordinary in the photo.

I handed the phone to Jennifer so she could have a look as well.

"I don't know him." Jennifer shook her head.

"And he doesn't look special to me."

We both got lost in our thoughts.

Just then, Roy came out of my mother's room.

He had been keeping an eye on my mother's health.

"Roy, come and have a look.Have you seen this werewolf before?"

I showed him my phone, but I wasn't expecting anything from him.

"Well...he looks quite familiar!"

Roy furrowed his eyebrows in a pensive mood as he looked at the photo carefully.

"He looks like a famous wizard, but I can't seem to remember his name right now.Don't worry, Mr.Jones.I can ask some of my friends to see if they know anything."

 "Thank you, Roy.I'll send you the photo later." I quickly expressed my gratitude.

"You're welcome, Mr.Jones." Roy smiled politely.

"I've just done a full check-up on your mother.Her vital signs are getting better.The side effects of the dark magic have disappeared completely."

"That's great news! Thank you very much!" Jennifer's eyes lit up with joy.

"Thank you very much, Roy."

After we expressed our sincerest gratitude to Roy, I took Jennifer to see my mother.

"Anthony, you are here."

My mother was lying in the bed with a big smile.

"I'm so happy to see you.I'm so bored of always lying around in bed."

"Mrs.Jones, I'm so happy to hear from Roy that you're fine." Jennifer stepped forward and helped my mother sit up.

 "Mom, how about I take you out for a walk in the sun?" I suggested.

"Okay, that sounds like a good idea!" My mother agreed readily.

"Jennifer, please join us."

 "Of course! I would love to!"

As I smiled and looked at Jennifer, her ears reddened.

When we went out for a stroll in the garden, I told my mother everything that my attendant had told me earlier on.

"Austin has been seen in the palace with a wizard.I'm sure he's plotting something.The situation seems more complicated than we anticipated,"

I said as I helped my mother walk slowly.

"Anthony, should we ask Roy and Jeff to contact the other wizards and have them join our side?" Jennifer suggested.

"All right.It's better to be safe than sorry.Besides, Roy and Jeff seem to have a wide range of contacts.With more wizards to help us, our chances of winning will increase greatly." I nodded in agreement.

Jennifer's POV: 

Anthony and I were talking about how to deal with Austin when his face suddenly became pale and he clutched at his chest as if he was in a lot of pain.

In a matter of seconds, tiny beads of sweat formed on his forehead.

"Anthony!" I screamed and quickly held him.

"What's happening to you? Are you okay?"

"It hurts..."

It looked like Anthony was having a heart attack.

"Help! Please help! Can someone please call the doctor?"

Elizabeth started to cry out for help as well.Several attendants ran over in a hurry and I followed them as they carried Anthony back to his room.
