Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 217

Jennifer's POV: 

Fortunately, despite Caroline's suffering, her baby was born safely.

Elizabeth had been at Caroline's side from the moment she went into labor.

The past few hours must have been very stressful on her, because when I found her, she was sitting on a chair with one hand on her chest.

I rushed over to help as I thought a bit of fresh air might do her some good.

"Mrs.Jones, let's go out for a walk.You'll feel much better once you get out of this stuffy room."

I helped Elizabeth up and waved at Anthony.

"You're right, dear.Perhaps I am getting too old for this, "

Elizabeth agreed readily.

Anthony and I took her out on a walk just outside the hospital.

"Once Caroline's child is born, she and her baby, along with Austin will be exiled to the island as soon as possible.I'm afraid that she won't be able to make a full recovery."

Elizabeth sighed.

Obviously, she felt sorry for Caroline.

"Mom, don't worry.Caroline doesn't have to leave before she recovers,"

Anthony answered immediately.

"I'm glad that you agree, Anthony." Elizabeth smiled.

"Anthony, that's very generous of you because I didn't expect you to forgive Caroline."

I was deeply impressed by Anthony's words.

"You truly have what it takes to be a king."

"Well, you've managed to forgive her, haven't you? After all, she hurt you more than she hurt me."

Anthony gently caressed my hand as he smiled.

My cheeks burned crimson with embarrassment because I wasn't comfortable flirting in front of Elizabeth, who looked at me lovingly and giggled to herself.

Fortunately, Elizabeth noticed this and quickly changed the topic of conversation.

"I can't help but feel worried, now that Austin isn't in prison anymore."

Elizabeth frowned.

"I can't bring myself to trust anything that he says.After all, he killed his own father for power."

"Don't worry, Mom.I'll have more men keep an eye on him."

Anthony softly patted Elizabeth on the shoulder.

"Besides, the doctors said that having some company could help Caroline make a faster recovery."

As I looked at Anthony in amazement, I realized how considerate he was, even to his enemies.

"I'm glad I don't have to worry about you anymore."

Elizabeth nodded with satisfaction.

"By the way, Anthony, how long will it take to hand over the government affairs?" I asked.

That was something that bothered me a lot.

Caroline's premature delivery must have affected Anthony's work efficiency.

As such, if our trip to the snow mountain kept getting deleted, I was afraid that Anthony would have a heart attack again.

"You don't have to worry about the handover.I'll take care of it soon.Everything will go as planned, trust me, "

Anthony replied confidently.

"Anthony, Jennifer, please be careful on your trip to the snow mountain," Elizabeth said, looking worried.

"That's an extremely dangerous place." I held her hand to give her comfort.

"Don't worry, Mom," Anthony said to her.

"We'll be fine, Mrs.Jones.Amelia has made us some potion that will help us to withstand the cold.We'll be fine."

I told Elizabeth about Amelia's help.

"Well, you two should go back and prepare your things for your trip to the snow mountain.I'll look after Caroline and Austin.There's nothing to worry about."

Elizabeth assured us as she came to a stop.

Her words instilled confidence in us.

As such, Anthony assigned a few attendants to stand guard at the hospital before he took me back to the palace.
