Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 88: Lost Contact 

Jennifer's POV:

Helen was really a good girl.She was willing to help us.Moreover, she was funny and cheerful.She was a great catch.Since she seemed to be quite interested in Daniel, I urged him to stay in touch with her.

"I'll leave it to you, Daniel." I shot him a meaningful look, letting him know that he should seize the opportunity.

Anyone with a discerning eye would be able to see that Helen had a huge crush on him.

If the two of them hit it off well, it would be a good thing.

Daniel could finally have a mate.It was something worth celebrating.

Daniel must have sensed it too, because at the mention of Helen, he blushed and stammered, "I'll try my best."

"Well, guys, you must all be exhausted after the long day. Let's go back and have a good rest," I said to them.

It was a busy day that had left me feeling dog-tired.

I hoped that we would be able to get some information from Helen this time, so that things would be much easier.

We could get much closer to finding out the truth about the past.

After going back to my room, I looked out of the window at the beautiful crescent moon.

Today was another day that I missed Anthony very much.

Thinking of him, I recalled the rings we had exchanged.

I carefully picked up his ring and looked at it, absent-mindedly stroking the pattern on it.

I suddenly wanted to call Anthony and ask him what he was doing.

Even if I could only hear his voice and look at his face for a short time, it would make my day.

"Honey, how are you doing today? Do you miss me?" I typed a message and sent it to him.

I stared at my phone, thinking that I would get an immediately reply from him.

But to my dismay, minutes passed without any response.

A frown gradually appeared on my face.

After hesitating for a moment, I called Anthony.

The phone rang for a long time, but there was no answer.I knew Anthony well.

As long as he saw my message, he would definitely reply.

Could something have happened to him? I couldn't help but worry, and an inexplicable sense of dread pooled in my stomach.

"Don't worry too much.Maybe Anthony just forgot to bring his phone with him," Eva said in my mind, trying to comfort me.

Although I knew that Anthony was not such a careless person, it was the only thing I could hope for right now.

I prayed to Moon Goddess that nothing bad would happen to him.

At this time, I heard a knock at the door, and walked over to open it.It was Skylar who had come to see me.She looked listless.

"Skylar, what's wrong?" I led her in and poured her a glass of water.

Skylar sank onto my bed with her head lowered in dejection.

"Tell me, what happened to you?" I sat next to her and hugged her comfortingly.

"Jennifer, I feel so sad. Did you know that Dylan has an ex-girlfriend who died?" Skylar asked.

I had no idea that my brother had an ex-girlfriend, let alone that she had died.

"No, I didn't.Skylar, do you mind it?"

I looked at her with concern. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Skylar shook her head.

"No.I just didn't expect it to be such a big blow to him.I don't know how to open his heart and make him completely accept me."

"That's easy.I know my brother well.He already likes you a lot.As for the matter of his ex-girlfriend, just give him some more time.He'll come around soon enough.When he does, your love will be deep, and you will stay with each other forever," I told her earnestly.

"Really?" Skylar's eyes lit up in expectation.

"Of course.Do you think my brother is someone who will wallow in the past for a long time?" I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Of course not."

"Exactly." I smiled.

The downcast look on Skylar's face finally disappeared.She looked at me and chuckled.

"Thank you, my dear friend."

"How about you sleep here tonight with me?" I suggested.

"Okay."

Skylar nodded and held my hand with a smile.She was an optimistic person.

Although she did feel sad, her sadness would come and go quickly.But soon, she noticed my unhappiness.

"Jennifer, do you have something on your mind?" she asked me.

"It's just that I haven't been able to get in touch with Anthony," I explained bitterly.

"Maybe he's busy doing something?"

"I hope so. But I feel so anxious, as if something bad is about to happen."

"Don't worry. I will be here with you." Skylar patted my shoulder to reassure me.

"Thank you, sis."

However, the comfort I received from Skylar's words couldn't replace the worry I was feeling over Anthony.

That night, I tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep well.

Daniel's POV:

In my room, I turned my head to look out of the window at the moonlight.

It was already midnight, but I still couldn't sleep.

Perhaps it was because my head was filled with thoughts of Helen, whom I had met earlier that day.

To my delight, an hour later, I received a message from her.

"Daniel, it was really nice to meet you today. You are so handsome and cheerful," the message said.

Was that how she thought of me? I felt flattered.

At the same time, I felt lucky that she had such a good impression of me.

My heart leaped with joy, and I couldn't help but read the message over and over again.

Helen was straightforward and genuine.

Everyone liked compliments, and I was no exception.

I had seen too many hypocritical people in the past, so I appreciated Helen’s character very much.

She was lively and kind.She was a good person.

Suppressing my excitement, I finally sent a reply.

"Nice to meet you too, beautiful, cute, and enthusiastic Helen."

Although we only chatted politely with each other, I couldn't control the smile that kept tugging up at the corners of my mouth, as if I was possessed.

"By the way, I've asked my father about what you want to know." Helen sent one more message.

"Did you find out anything?" I looked at her with concern.

"Well, I went through a lot of documents in my father's room and found some information about Elder Tony, but I can't explain it clearly through text.Let's meet at the same cafe tomorrow.I'll tell you all about it then."

"That's great. Sounds good," I replied quickly.

Helen responded with an OK emoji.

I sighed and continued to stare at my phone.

That night, I didn't fall asleep until after a long time of not receiving any new messages.

I was really looking forward to seeing Helen tomorrow.

Her smiling face kept replaying in my mind, enveloping my heart with warmth.

Helen was helping us so selflessly, which proved that she was a great girl.

Besides, she had a sunny disposition, and we had a lot of things in common that we could talk about.

Thinking about her made me so happy that I felt like my heart would explode.

I had never felt this way before.

It was hard for me to sleep that night, as I was on cloud nine.
