Roy’s POV:

Although I wasn’t expecting to see Anthony and Jennifer so soon, I was relieved to see them nonetheless.

The royal palace had been in complete disarray since the attack on Elizabeth.I hoped that their presence would

help to bring some peace and order to the palace.I guessed that they were here to catch the wizard who attacked

Elizabeth.I could tell that they were worried about Elizabeth, so I quickly addressed their concerns.

“Mrs.Jones is doing all right.Her condition is stable now.The wizard hit Mrs.Jones with magic.Fortunately, Morgan and

I managed to treat her with healing magic.Mrs.Jones has woken up several times since she was attacked.But she is

still too weak, so she’s asleep again.She will be better after a while.”

“Oh, thank you so much, Roy and Morgan.” Jennifer patted her chest in relief.

“As long as Mrs.Jones is okay, everything will be fine.” Anthony nodded in agreement.

Then he walked to the bed and held Elizabeth’s hand.

“Mom, I’m here to see you.I’m sorry that I wasn’t here to protect you.”

“Don’t blame yourself, Anthony.It’s all my fault.I shouldn’t have left the royal palace.”

Jennifer walked up to Anthony and patted his hand with a sad look on her face.

“Don’t be silly! It’s not your fault!”

Anthony shook his head and looked at her gently.

I was moved by the loving bond they shared.

In fact, it was my respect for their love that made me want to help them all the time.

Amelia quickly strode forward and bowed to Anthony.

“Mr.Jones, please don’t worry.When you and Jennifer saved me from Larry’s log cabin, we brought back a lot of

magic books with us.Well, those books contain powerful healing spells which can be of use to us now.Anthony’s eyes

lit up and Jennifer looked at Amelia in pleasant surprise too.

“That’s great news.Thank you, Amelia!”

“Jennifer, there is no need to thank me.In fact, it is I who should thank you for saving me and helping me find

Morgan.”

Amelia smiled and her cheeks blushed red.

“The least I can do is help you in any way that I can in return of the kindness that you have shown us.”

Morgan chimed in, “That’s right.Jennifer, we are indebted to you for your kindness and generosity.I will stay and

help until Mrs.Jones recovers.”

Everyone come forward to offer their help to Anthony and Jennifer.

It was not until then that I found that Jennifer was also here.

Standing next to Anthony, she looked at me with concern.

“Don’t think about it anymore, Mrs.Jones.You’re safe with us now.”

“Jennifer, what are you doing here? Didn’t you just become the Alpha? Should you be with your pack rightnow?”

I took Jennifer’s hand and looked at her remorsefully.

“It would have been enough for only Anthony to come and see me.”

Jennifer hugged me and said, “No way! How could I not come to see you, Mrs.Jones? You don’t know how worried I

was when I heard that you were attacked.”

I was pleased to see that Jennifer cared about me just as much as Anthony did.I was filled with so much happiness

that I almost cried.As I pulled her close into an embrace, the memories of what happened to me flashed before my

eyes and I felt a pang of fear in the pit of my stomach.

“Oh, Jennifer, I thought I would never see you and Anthony again.”

Anthony came to me and sat on the edge of the bed with furrowed eyebrows.

“Mom, can you tell us anything about the attacker? What did he look like? Do you remember what happened?”

I sat up and leaned my back against the headboard.

I took a deep breath and drifted into deep contemplation.

“It happened in the early hours of the morning.The palace was quiet all night and I was lying in bed awake the

whole time because I couldn’t get any sleep.Suddenly, I heard a noise come from behind and as soon as I turned

around, all I saw was a white flash of light before something hit me.I immediately felt my heart tighten in pain.I

screamed as loud as I could and the attacker escaped from the window just before the guards broke in.I tried to

follow them when they chased after the attacker, but my vision started to blur and I felt very dizzy.The next

moment I fell unconscious on the floor.”

I looked at Anthony and Jennifer as I recalled the dreadful scene in my head.I felt so angry, that my voice rose

without conscious thought.

“Who on earth would do such a thing?”Why did they have to attack me, an old woman who is going to die?”

“Mrs.Jones, please don’t be angry.It won’t do you any good right now to get so worked up.”
