Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Anthony’s POV:
After learning that Caroline was pregnant, I stayed with her at the hospital.
The doctor said that she needed to be taken good care of because she was weak.
Although I still couldn’t believe that the baby she was carrying was mine, Caroline was still like a sister to me so I felt a little
guilty that she fell because of me.
Whoever the father was, Caroline was still family, and she was highly favored by my mother.
She was in a delicate condition so I needed to stay with her, keep her calm, and take care of her.
It was torture for me to be alone with her in the ward.
I had to keep reminding myself to keep a respectable distance from her.
But Caroline’s whining was starting to get annoying.
“It’s late, Anthony.Come to bed.”
Caroline leaned back against the headboard.
Her pale face made her look pitiful, and she put on an air of innocence.
“Come lie with me.Let’s sleep together.The accommodation here is not as good as the hotel.Please make do with it.”
“It’s fine.I’ll just sleep on the sofa.”
I sat down on the couch, which was a safe distance from her.
“You should sleep.It will be good for you.”
“Anthony...”
Caroline’s eyes filled with tears.
“You clearly don’t want to be near me.You’re making me feel like I’m some awful virus.”

“I don’t think that.You’re overthinking things,”
I replied, but my patience was wearing thin.
“I just don’t feel ready to sleep in the same bed as you.I hope you can understand and stop being pushy about it.”
“All right, Anthony.I respect your opinion.I’m going to bed—for the baby’s sake.”
“Anthony! Are you going to deny what you have done?”
Caroline suddenly became agitated.
“Are you going to abandon me and our child? Do you want us to live in the dark forever?”
Her questions were like knives stabbing into my conscience.
I was in a dilemma, but I didn’t know how to respond.
All of a sudden, Caroline bent over once more.
Her forehead became shiny with sweat.
I realized that her stomach was hurting again so I quickly called for a doctor.
The doctors and nurses rushed into the ward.
“This lady’s moods keep changing too frequently.It’s affecting the baby, and she needs to be treated immediately.Sir, it was
not easy for us to keep the baby safe.Can you be more careful?”
I waited outside with mixed feelings.
I didn’t enter the room until Caroline’s condition stabilized.
“Are you feeling better, Caroline? You shouldn’t have gotten so agitated.”
“You know why I got so agitated.”


Caroline gnawed on her lower lip.
“Do you want this baby or not?This is your child! As the father, aren’t you being too cruel?”
“Caroline, are you trying to force me into marrying you? Can’t you give me a little more time? Stop being so pushy about this,”
I said with a sigh.
“Fine.But I can’t wait very long because this child can’t wait too long either.I hope you won’t let me down, Anthony.”
