Outcast: The Alpha King’s Beloved

Skylar’s POV:
The expression on Jerome’s face was very strange, as if he was in some kind of trance.
An unknown dread filled my stomach.
Sure enough, my intuition was right.
Something was deeply wrong.
When I saw Linda appear with that child, my heart skipped a beat.
I already suspected that she might be Jerome’s ex-girlfriend.
It turned out that I was right.
But if that was the case, then who was the child with her? As if to answer my unasked question, the little boy named Andy called
Jerome his dad.
I heard it with my own ears.
I stood rooted to the spot, feeling like I was struck by a thunderbolt.
I had never imagined that Jerome’s ex-girlfriend, who was supposed to be dead, would reappear in his life.
Moreover, she was stunningly beautiful, and even had a child with him.
“Linda, who’s this child? Whose child is he?”
Jerome grabbed Linda’s arms and shook them excitedly.
He looked more shocked by the news than I did.
“Jerome, what do you think? He’s your child! When I left you, I was already pregnant.Andy is three years old now.You can
calculate the time and see.It’s true.He’s your son,”
Linda explained firmly, looking into Jerome’s eyes.
“If you don’t believe me, you can take a paternity test.Jerome, we were together for so long.Don’t you trust me?”

“Linda, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but...” Jerome trailed off and sighed helplessly.
“I’m sorry.I already have a mate, and I’m going to marry her soon.”
“Jerome, are you saying you don’t love me anymore? Are you going to abandon me and our child?” Linda cried.
“I’m sorry.I never thought that such a thing would happen.”
“Jennifer, you’re here! Jerome’s ex-girlfriend, Linda, has come back.That boy is Andy, their child.A few years ago, after finding
out that she had a rare disease, she left Jerome after sending him a message because she didn’t want to drag him down.It turns
out that she was pregnant when she left.She received treatment for her disease while carrying the baby.But she has returned
only now.She has been wandering around for the past few years and may not be in good health.The doctor is checking her
condition right now.We’re both worried about her...”
Skylar choked out through sobs, explaining the whole situation to me.
I could see the fear and frustration in her eyes.
“Skylar, don’t worry.Trust Jerome.He won’t let you down.”
I gave her a warm hug and patted her on the back to comfort her.
“She passed out because of malnourishment.She is too weak and fragile to bear any kind of mental stress.As long as you take
good care of her, she will gradually recover,” the doctor explained, putting down the stethoscope.
After connecting her arm to an IV drip, he gave us a few more instructions and then left the room.
“Jerome, what are you going to do next?”
I asked my brother, frowning.
“Jennifer, I don’t know what to do.I had a clear plan, but now...my mind is in a mess.”
Jerome let out an irritable groan and covered his head with his hands.
His voice was full of guilt.


“I feel really sorry for Linda and Andy, but also for Skylar.I’m a bad man.”
“It’s not your fault.Linda disappeared years ago after telling you that she had an incurable disease.It was logical for you to think
that she was dead.Besides, I heard that you looked for her for a long time, but couldn’t find her.”
I shook my head with a sigh.
“Perhaps this is the arrangement of fate.It’s always so dramatic.”
As soon as I finished speaking, Linda stirred and let out a cough.
“Hello, Linda.I’m Jerome’s younger sister, Jennifer.This is my mate, Anthony.”
