The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 719

Chapter 719: A TWIST OF FATE

Otto heard the woman scream behind him, even though he could barely control his surroundings.

He felt himself slowly falling to the ground.

The whole world seemed to go dizzy.

It was a daze.

The mix of the baby’s scream and the lady’s voice.

It made his mind go blank.

THE BABY!

And then he remembered.

He suddenly became alert before he hit the ground and grappled the baby around him to protect him from the impending impact.

The lady was already by his side.

She caught his arm and assisted in preventing his fall whilst he clutched the baby to his side.

"You need to stop this." She pleaded.

He pushed her away and heard the thud of her fall.

Otto tried to clear his head, but the baby’s screaming didn’t make it any easier.

He felt the loss of blood draining from his body.

He was getting weaker and weaker whilst his body refused to heal.

He leaned back against the tree nearest to him and tried to cool the baby.

"Shhhh." Otto tried to ease the boy. "You need to b..be silent. You are hurting yourself."

But Apollo kept on screaming.

It was unlike Apollo to cry this much.

Was he hungry? Was he cold?

Perhaps both.

He would get him to safety soon.

But Apollo screaming this much didn’t do them any good.

It could attract people to them, and that was the last thing they needed right now.

He felt himself go faint.

If only they could leave this place and perhaps get to the city.

Maybe he could heal himself just enough for them to leave for somewhere safe.

Otto held his side and looked down at the blood.

It was already infected and now spreading across his body.

He knew then that he didn’t have time.

He looked up and saw the woman who had followed him all this time.

And then he remembered her.

She was the woman in the market this afternoon.

The very same one who had given him a dirty slap.

The one whose front bodice of her dress had been damped with what seemed to be breast milk.

His eyes went down to her front bodice again and saw that it was damp.

He looked down at Apollo, who was still screaming, and yet his high, shrill voice had been subdued.

He was getting weaker, he was dying, and yet still screaming.

He didn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon.

He doubted Apollo was going to stop.

Otto felt his eyes cloud up in pain.

It had just been two of them for such a long time.

He thought they had a bond.

Why was Apollo seemingly acting so strangely?

He tried to rock him, sing to him.

But he didn’t stop.

He held him closer to his chest, and yet nothing happened.

Rather, the screaming went on, but his voice was weaker and weaker.

"Please." He heard the woman’s soft voice. "He is hungry. Let him feed, I beg you."

Otto grumbled and drew the baby closer to him.

Apollo continued to weep, and soon he began to cough.

Aggressively.

He coughed so much he began to choke.

At the same time, he resumed screaming whenever given the opportunity.

Otto was terrified.
