Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved novel Chapter 363

Cynthia's POV: 

Just as I turned around to leave, Roy suddenly clutched his chest and collapsed to the ground.

"Oh, my God!" I immediately knelt beside him to help him up.

"Roy, what's wrong?"

When I saw his face, I found that he was extremely pale and sickly.

"Roy, what happened?"

Jennifer and Anthony both rushed to help us when they saw Roy faint out of nowhere.

"Did you get injured in the fight with Larry?" Morgan pursed his lips worriedly.

"Mrs.Jones, can you ask the doctors to treat Roy as well?"

I hoisted Roy's arm over my shoulder to support him.

Anxious for his health, I turned to Jennifer pleadingly.

Before Jennifer could answer me, Roy shook his head weakly.

"No need.I just suffered some flesh wounds.I can use an incantation to treat it myself."

"Don't exhaust yourself, Roy."

Jennifer eyed Roy worriedly.

"Don't worry, Mrs.Jones.I know my own body.Thanks for the concern though."

Roy smiled feebly and tried to stand on his own two feet.

It pained me to see Roy being so stubborn, but I knew him well.

He probably didn't want to inconvenience Jennifer at a time as critical as this.

"I'll help him," I said resolutely.

"Don't worry, everyone.I'll take good care of him with my healing magic."

Morgan and Jennifer looked at me dubiously, but I nodded at them reassuringly.

Seeing this, they finally nodded.

"Thank you, Cynthia," Jennifer said gratefully.

"No, I don't want to bother you—" Roy started to say anxiously.

"It's fine, Roy!" I interrupted him, shaking my head firmly.

"Let's go."

After saying goodbye to everyone, I helped Roy back to his room.

On our way there, Roy kept trying to persuade me to go to my own room and rest.

"I'm fine, Cynthia.I don't want to take up any more of your time.Just go back and rest.Don't worry about me,"

Roy kept saying.

"No, I need to make sure you get back safely," I insisted stubbornly.

I looked at him seriously and pouted.

"Roy, stop pushing yourself past your limit.We're not young anymore."

At this, Roy finally fell silent and stopped protesting.

When we arrived at Roy's door, he said, "Okay, we're here.I can heal myself now.Thanks for the help, Cynthia.You may go now."

I was already expecting this from Roy.

He didn't want me to see him in a vulnerable light.

But I had known him for so many years, and I used to love him.I had seen every side of him.I shook my head and strode inside his room, pulling Roy towards the bed.

"You're injured.Just lie down and rest.Do you really think I'm incapable of caring for others?"

After pushing him onto the bed, I turned around to ask a maid to fetch a thin blanket for Roy.

As she scurried off to do as I said, I went to prepare a cup of magic tonic drink for Roy to quench his thirst and relieve pain.

"Here.You'll feel better if you drink this." I handed the glass to Roy.

"I remember you don't like bitter stuff, so don't worry.This is sweet."

Roy looked at me and his gaze softened.

"I'm not so particular with bitter food now.I'm an adult after all."

He winked at me, took the glass and drank most of the tonic in one gulp.

Seeing this, I heaved a sigh of relief.

At least his pain would subside for now.I took out my wand and started casting healing spells on him.

"Heal!"

As I healed Roy's wounds, I stole glances at his face from time to time.He had been a little uneasy since earlier.

When I was done, I stood up and sighed.

"Roy, I'm sorry if I make you feel uncomfortable.I just want you to feel better.I can't bear to see you in pain."

We had broken up so many years ago, so it was only natural that he felt uncomfortable with me here.
