Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 361: Saving Amelia 

Jennifer's POV:

It didn't take long before the ambulance screeched to a halt at the royal hospital.

The doctors sprang into action and pushed Amelia into the operating room for revive her.

As for the rest of us, there was nothing we could do but wait outside.

"This is all my fault.I was the one Larry wanted to attack!"

Morgan collapsed to the floor and buried his face in his hands.

"God, please be with Amelia and make her get through this crisis."

Seeing Morgan like this madefeel very sorry for him.Amelia was such a kind and gentle soul.She and Morgan loved each other so much.

But at this moment, it was possible that the two would be separated forever.

"Morgan, I firmly believe that God's on Amelia's side." I knelt next to him and tried to comfort him.

"If anyone's at fault, it's ours.Anthony and I both underestimated Larry and failed to protect Amelia."

I couldn't help but feel like this was all our fault.It was Anthony andwho wanted to deal with Larry.We were the ones who told Amelia to get close to Larry.

"She's right.We're truly sorry, Morgan," Anthony said sincerely, shaking his head.

"We're sorry too, Morgan."

Roy also showed up, with Cynthia close behind.

"When we heard that Amelia was hurt, we chere as soon as we could.I'm sorry I wasn't there for you.Cynthia was injured, so I took her away to treat her.I wasn't there to help you stop Larry.If only we were more vigilant, Amelia wouldn't have gotten hurt."

"I don't blany of you.You all tried your best.Larry was the one to blame.He deceived us all!"

Morgan got on his feet hurriedly and shook his head.

Then, his face clouded over.

"No one foresaw that he would take forbidden medicine to deal with us.That damned bastard! I'll make him pay for what he's done!"

Both Roy and Cynthia echoed his sentiments.

Roy nodded and said through gritted teeth, "Larry gives us a bad name.He uses witchcraft for evil.What a heartless son of a bitch!"

"We'll help you catch Larry and avenge Amelia!"

Cynthia chimed in, nodding indignantly.

As everyone got worked up over Amelia's misfortune, I also stood out.

"Larry has crossed the line for the last time.He'll get what's coming to him."

"Jennifer's right.Larry took the forbidden medicine, which has strong side effects.I'm sure his body is suffering now.Even if he tries to stir up trouble in the future, he won't be strong enough to deal that much damage.Let's all work together to capture him then."

Morgan's eyes flashed with fierce determination.

I had no doubt in my mind that he was the one most eager to duel Larry to the death.

After all, Larry was the one who had hurt the love of his life.

As we waited for the news regarding Amelia, Anthony kept making phone calls to his men.

"Have the garden cleaned up and issue a notice for arrest to the whole kingdom.Tell them that wizard Larry is wanted." Anthony spoke on the phone seriously.

"Larry first attempted to murder my mother, and then he attacked our distinguished guests.He completely ignored our kingdom's laws and has committed heinous crimes tand tagain.List him as the most wanted criminal, and offer a reward of a million to anybody who can turn him in."

After Anthony finally put the phone down, his expression was still gloomy.I gently patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "You did a good job, honey.By the way, Anthony, how about those injured guards today? They tried their best to fulfill our mission.Although we failed to catch Larry, I think we should reward them, too."

Anthony nodded.

"That's a good idea.I had the injured sent to the hospital.I'll give the guards who participated in today's operation three-class merits."

This arrangement made sense to me, so I didn't pester him with any more questions.

"Everyone, please get srest and take the tto heal.You don't have to wait here.Anthony and I will stay here and keep you all posted."

"Yes.We'll inform you the second we hear word of anything.I know all of you have suffered injuries from the operation, so get srest.I'll send for sdoctors to treat your wounds personally."

Anthony stood up and bowed to everyone slightly.

But to our surprise, all the wizards before us shook their heads stubbornly.

"Our injuries aren't a big deal.We'll wait for Amelia to wake up," Cynthia said insistently.

"I'm not leaving either.I refuse to leave Amelia here," Morgan said, placing his palm on his chest solemnly.Anthony's POV: Our plan had been set in motion for a long tnow.

I didn't expect that we would fail miserably and that Amelia would be the one who could cout of it seriously injured.

Such a result was devastating to me, but there was nothing we could do to change it.

Jennifer and I had no choice but to do our best to make up for our mistake.

Seeing Morgan suffer over the woman he loved, I couldn't help but sigh alongside him.I understood how he felt.

If the roles were reversed and it was Jennifer who was lying in the operating room now, I knew I would've gone crazy.I silently prayed that Amelia would be fine.

She was a good witch and had sacrificed a lot in this operation to catch Larry.

What seemed like an eternity passed and there was still no news from the doctors.

Everyone waited quietly in the corridor.

As the hours passed by, I started to worry about Jennifer.

She was pregnant after all and should've gotten more rest after today's string of unfortunate events.

Just as I opened my mouth to tell Jennifer to leave first, an attendant suddenly approachedand bowed.

"Mr.Jones, our men found this when we were cleaning up the scene.The captain felt something was off and askedto report it to you."

As he spoke, the attendant took out a medicine bottle from his pocket and handed it to me.I took the bottle in surprise.

"I see.Thank you.You may go now."

After the attendant left, I observed the medicine bottle in my hand carefully.

My keen sense of smell picked up a strange scent coming from it.I had swizard friends, and I had seen magic medicine before.

This bottle looked similar to them.

Thinking of this, I immediately stood up and walked over to Roy.

"Roy, can you take a look at this and check if it could be magic medicine? My men found it in the garden when they were cleaning up.I don't know where it cfrom."

I handed the bottle to Roy and asked the other wizards present to help us identify it.

"I can't help but feel that it's a little suspicious."

Roy took the bottle and examined it carefully.

Then, he handed it to the other wizards, murmuring, "It looks like magic medicine, but whatever it is, it's not mine."

The other wizards each took turns studying the bottle carefully, but all of them eventually shook their heads.

"It's not mine either," Morgan said, scratching his chin.

"Maybe it's Amelia's." I turned to Jennifer.

"You often met with Amelia.Have you ever seen her use this kind of magic medicine?"

But Jennifer also shook her head.

"As far as I know, she hasn't been refining any magic medicine lately, since she was busy dealing with Larry."

After hearing everyone's answers, I was more certain that my hunch was correct.

"Listen to me, everyone.I have a feeling that Larry must've lost this bottle amidst the chaos of the fight."

Hearing Larry's name, the wizards’ expressions changed.They took a closer look at the bottle and studied it with renewed vigor.

"I've never seen magic medicine of this color.It looks strange to me," Roy said, pursing his lips.

neither." Cynthia shook her head.

Just as everyone was at a loss, Morgan's face suddenly lit up.

"Mr.Jones, I think I know what this is.It may not be magic medicine, but an antidote! Amelia once described tothe color and shape of the antidote.I think this might be it!"

Morgan's enthusiasm was infectious.I hurried to call the director of the royal hospital so that he could have a look.

"Please have someone test the contents of this bottle.We suspect it may be the antidote to the poison in Amelia's body.As this is urgent, informas soon as the results cout," I instructed briskly.

The director nodded respectfully.

"Okay, Mr.Jones.I'll have it tested right away.Is there anything else?" I shook my head.

"No, that is all.You can leave now."

Just as the director scurried off, the door of the operating room suddenly swung open and several doctors in white coats filed out.

"Doctor! How is my wife? Will she be okay?"

Morgan immediately rushed over to the nearest doctor and asked anxiously.

Jennifer and I also followed behind him, holding our breaths in anticipation of the result of the operation.
