Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 282

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,"I 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.

"Anthony, why aren't you taking good care of your mate? Look at her.Why is she so upset? What did you do? A pregnant woman needs to be taken care of well.You need to put in more effort."

"Mom, you're right.It's my fault,"

Anthony replied, keeping his tone obedient but vague.

I couldn't help lowering my head in embarrassment.

I was still shaken by what I had seen in Larry's parcel just now, but before entering Elizabeth's room, I had tried my best to compose myself and put on a happy facade.

However, it seemed that I failed, and now, Anthony was getting chided for it.

"Mrs.Jones, please don't blame Anthony.He has been doing his best to take good care of me.I'm fine.It's just that I'm having some mood swings because of the pregnancy.But it's nothing serious,"

I lied in a hurry, hiding the matter about Larry's parcel.

Anthony and I didn't want Elizabeth to worry about us.

Fortunately, Elizabeth was convinced with my explanation, and a smile returned to her face.

"That's good.Anthony, don't forget, you must take good care of Jennifer and my grandchild."

"Yes, Mom," Anthony promised.

Looking at the sincerity in his eyes, I couldn't help but smile.

Warmth enveloped my heart.

I had a mate who cared about me and doted on me so much, and his mother treated me as her own daughter.

I couldn't allow a bastard like Larry to impact my mood.

Besides, I believed that Anthony and I could protect our baby well.

"By the way, Anthony, have the outfits for your coronation and wedding ceremonies been prepared?" Elizabeth suddenly asked.

"I'm going to take Jennifer to get them customized and fitted today," Anthony replied.

"Good, good.You have to get the best for Jennifer.She is the future queen of Osman Kingdom,"

Elizabeth pointed out seriously.

Hearing myself being referred to as "the future queen" made me shy, and I lowered my head and bit my lip.

As we continued to chat, an attendant suddenly ran into the room.

"Mr.Jones, Amelia and Morgan have something urgent to tell you," the attendant reported to Anthony.

Anthony immediately shot up from his seat, and I followed suit.

After all, Amelia was the one who needed our protection the most now.

I knew that she didn't want to bother us unnecessarily.

Since she sent someone to call for us, it meant that something important must have happened.

Maybe it had something to do with Larry.

"Mom, we're going to go and see Amelia.Take care of yourself," Anthony said.

"Go ahead.Don't worry about me.Roy is here with me."

Elizabeth waved us off.

After saying goodbye to her, Anthony and I rushed to Amelia's residence.
