Marked By The Mad King Alpha (Phoebe and Perry) novel Chapter 284

Chapter 284: Chapter 284 Heart Behind Shield

Phoebe’s POV

"He’ll pull through, but the blood loss was severe," the healer announced. The elderly woman, probably in her early eighties, spoke with deliberate slowness. "I’ve sealed his wounds with healing magic. No need to fret, my queen."

"Thank you, Ysabel," I said, relief flooding through me as I addressed the ancient healer.

"I’ll brew a remedy for him, my queen." The healer bowed and departed, leaving me alone with Timothy.

I settled on the bed’s edge, taking his cold hand in mine. He remained unconscious, his complexion ashen but his chest still rising and falling steadily.

From Dominic’s account, Timothy had battled five creatures simultaneously while shielding Harlow.

The same little girl he’d been uncertain about wanting in his world—the only obstacle preventing him from pursuing Jude.

Yet here he lay, having risked everything for her protection.

"You’re such a puzzle, Timothy." I knew about his initial meeting with Harlow, but I hadn’t realized he’d been visiting her regularly since then.

The thought prompted me to rise and leave the room. I discovered Patricia consoling Jude, who couldn’t stop her tears from flowing.

"Don’t panic, the gamma will survive. He’ll recover completely. Once he awakens, you can express your gratitude for saving Harlow. Everything will be alright, he’ll make it through." Patricia embraced her sister protectively.

Clearly, Patricia remained unaware that Timothy wasn’t merely the royal gamma who’d protected her niece—he was also Jude’s fated mate.

"May I speak with Jude privately?" I interjected.

Jude’s head snapped up immediately. "How is he, my queen?" she asked, her voice raw from crying.

"He’ll recover. The healer is preparing medicine for him now. Would you like to visit him?" My suggestion sparked hope in Jude’s eyes, though she quickly declined.

"No... I’ll wait until he regains consciousness." Jude ducked her head, stroking Harlow’s hair gently. Losing her daughter would devastate her, but losing Timothy would destroy her completely.

"Why refuse?" I pressed, sensing her true desires.

Patricia answered for her sister as usual. "It’s fine, my queen. She’ll wait here until the royal gamma awakens. She doesn’t want to disturb his rest."

I disagreed completely. "Timothy would want her beside him, particularly now." My words clearly puzzled Patricia, who couldn’t understand why her sister’s presence would matter to the royal gamma. She glanced between Jude and me, detecting something amiss.

However, she didn’t dare question the queen directly.

Nevertheless, I managed to convince her that Timothy didn’t harbor negative feelings toward the child. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
