Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 122: Caroline Escaped 

Jennifer's POV:

I didn't expect this.

Tony was kneeling on the floor, begging me for mercy.

He burst into tears and his nose kept running as he shouted hysterically.

"I didn't mean to call you a jinx.Please have mercy on me! Let me go! This was all Arthur's idea.He's the one you should be after!"

Tony cried like a madman.

I was initially shocked with his violent reaction, but at the mention of Arthur's name, my expression hardened.

It was just as I had suspected—Arthur was behind all of this.

He was the one who slandered my name, calling me a jinx.

"Tony's condition has improved a lot, but when he saw Jennifer just now, he must've remembered something.That's probably why he couldn't control his emotions all of a sudden,"

Jeff explained to us.

Arthur killed my father and stole his position as Alpha of the Rainbow Pack.

As if this wasn't enough, he painted me as a bad luck charm.

He needed to pay for all of his crimes.

I clenched my hands tightly.

It turned out that Tony had worked with Arthur to make all of these bad things happen.

"Just because Arthur told you to, you slandered me as a jinx?"

I grabbed Tony by the collar angrily.

All of a sudden, Tony's expression changed.

He stopped crying and shook off my grip.

When he retrieved his antique, he started giggling and tinkering with it.

I watched him helplessly.

I doubted I could get any more useful information out of Tony.

He returned to his usual state of madness, muttering to himself incoherently.

"Don't worry.Tony will recover soon.Then you will find out everything you want to know,"

Jeff said, trying to comfort me.

"I'm sure that I'm not a jinx," I replied bitterly.

"The prophecy is nothing but a rumor that Arthur spread.While Tony was the one who made up the false prophecy, he's not in his right mind yet and can't act as a credible source against Arthur."

"The truth will come to light soon enough."

Anthony squeezed my hand reassuringly.

Then, he said to Jeff, "Please do your best to treat Tony.We really appreciate your help."

Jeff nodded solemnly, promising he would stop at nothing to heal the lost Tony.

Anthony's POV:

After meeting Tony, Jennifer and I went back to her room.

She looked as though her mind was elsewhere.

It seemed that what Tony had said came as a big blow to her.

I pulled Jennifer close and let her lean on my chest.

I felt sorry for her.

‘How can I help her?’

"Jennifer, don't worry.

When Tony recovers, the truth will come to light and justice will finally be served."

"I know."

Jennifer sat up and planted a kiss on my lips.

"I'm so glad you're here with me." I smiled.

Jennifer was an amazing woman, and I couldn't forgive myself for forgetting her.

I took out the ring box and put the diamond ring on Jennifer's finger.

"I know you've been waiting for me to put this ring on your finger again, so here it is.No matter what happens, we'll never be apart."

Tears welled up in Jennifer's eyes.She exchanged rings with me.

"I've been looking forward to our wedding," she said softly, eyeing the shining ring on her finger.

"Anthony, when I learned that you lost your memories, I thought that day would never come.I'm so glad we're together again.I don't know what I would've done otherwise."

"Jennifer, I love you.We're proof that Moon Goddess's arrangement is perfect.I will marry only you.Even if I lose my memories again, I just know I'll fall for you all over again."

"I feel the same way, Anthony.I love you with all my heart."

Jennifer snuggled up to me contentedly.Just then, we heard a knock on the door.I got up and opened the door.

Dylan was waiting on the other side.

"Come in,"

I told him.

He stepped inside and cleared his throat.

"Mr.Jones, it's about Caroline.I don't know who helped her, but she managed to escape from the hospital and is now missing.I've sent my men to search for her."

"What? Caroline is missing?" I was shocked.

Why would she run away?

"She might have found out that we were monitoring her.She's probably guilty of something and was worried she would be found out, so she ran away," Dylan surmised.

What he said made sense to me.

Caroline was a completely different person from what I remembered.

Maybe she had changed before I lost my memories.

But I had no idea what she was hiding from me.

Who was the father of her baby? Why did she lie to me and say that she was my mate?

"Since she has escaped, there is no need to look for her.She must have returned to the royal palace of Osman Kingdom.I doubt she's in danger.Right now, our top priority is to prove Jennifer's innocence and to find a way for me to regain my memories."

"All right, Mr.Jones.I'll have my men withdraw from the search."

"Okay."

After Dylan left, Jennifer and I settled into each other's arms again.

I casually played with her hair, but then she sighed heavily.

"What's wrong? Did I hit a wound?"

I was about to check on her injuries, but she shook her head and held my hands.

"Anthony, I can't help but feel sad about what happened to your mother.She treated me so well.She even saw me off when I left for the Rainbow Pack.I was gone for just a few days when she got into a coma.I think it's odd."

"I think there's more to it, too.When she was still in the hospital, someone attempted to have her murdered.I'm just glad I was able to stop them in time." © NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Truth be told, I had been suspicious for days.

"Don't worry.I will look into it thoroughly.When we return to the royal palace, we will visit her together.As long as we take good care of her, I believe that she will wake up one day."

With Jennifer in my arms, I felt that everything was going to be okay.
