Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 352

Amelia's POV: 

As I helped Larry lie down on the bed, I could barely contain the happiness in my heart.

Larry's energy had become much weaker.

In the past, he could cast spells easily, without so much as blinking an eye.

But now, casting even an insignificant spell made him spit out blood.For me, this was great news.It meant that Morgan's magic drug really worked.

However, I couldn't risk arousing Larry's suspicion, so I quickly rearranged my facial features to portray sadness as I took his hand.

"Honey, what's wrong with you? You'd better go to the hospital to have a check- up."

I could see that Larry was in too frail of a condition to be able to use any advanced black magic.As long as I and the others worked together, we could take Larry down easily.But as I thought of this, I felt a stab of guilt.I couldn't help but think that I was being cruel to Larry by setting him up like this.

Although I couldn't accept his love, I knew that he really loved me.

Meanwhile, here I was, secretly scheming against him.But I had no choice.

Larry was a lunatic! How could a normal person bear the love of a lunatic? If I didn't scheme to take him down when I could, he would imprison me again.

After that, I might not be able to escape his clutches forever.It was all Larry's fault for doing all those evil things in the past.

That was why I had to resort to deceiving him like this.

Thinking of this, I gradually calmed down.

"Honey, what are you thinking about?" Larry asked, suddenly reaching out to grab my wrist.

Lying on the bed, he looked dull and weary, but his tired eyes and relaxed lips somehow made him look handsome, and even sexy.

It was only when I met his gaze that I realized that his icy blue eyes were carefully observing me.

Afraid of being caught, I immediately lowered my head.

"Oh, I'm just worried about your health, Larry."

"Yes, my condition isn't as good as before," Larry said, narrowing his eyes.

"But I won't let anything happen to me.Honey, I want to be with you forever."

When I heard that, my heart tightened.

"Larry, you should stop practicing the magic of youth.It will hurt you.It's a forbidden skill because it's against the natural law.Even if you succeed in getting what you want, you will lose something in the process."

"No, no, no!" Larry retorted excitedly.

"Amelia, I will succeed.There is no incantation in the world that I can't understand.Don't worry, honey.When I succeed, I will use the magic of youth on you too.Then both of us can become young again and start a new life."

I didn't understand how Larry could be so confident in his abilities.Besides, I had no interest in becoming young again.

"Why are you so stubborn, Larry? You always have so many obsessions that I can't understand," I complained, shaking my head.

"In fact, you can live a very carefree life—" Before I could finish, Larry interrupted me.

"Stop it, Amelia.No one can change my mind."

The firm look in his eyes silenced me.

After sitting quietly on the edge of the bed for a while, I stood up.

"Well, Larry, take care of yourself.I should go now.It's getting late."

"Amelia."

To my surprise, Larry held my hand and looked into my eyes imploringly.

"Why are you leaving? Stay with me, okay? I really need you."

Every time I saw this harmless, vulnerable side of Larry, I felt sorry for him.But at the same time, my reason told me that I shouldn't sympathize with him.

"I don't feel comfortable staying with you alone, at least not yet," I explained calmly, taking a deep breath.

"I still can't forget everything that happened in the past, Larry.It will take me some time to get used to the new you."

But Larry didn't let go of me.

Instead, his gaze swept over my face inch by inch, making me feel restless.

"Amelia...All right, but my patience is limited," he said in a meaningful tone.

"Honey, I hope that the next time we meet, your answer won't disappoint me."
