Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved Chapter 135: Jerome's Child

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."

After a moment of hesitation, Jerome looked at me and pulled me next to him.

"Linda, this is my current mate, Skylar."

"Hello, Skylar."

Linda restrained her emotions and flashed me a kind and beautiful smile.

"You are so beautiful.It's nice to meet you.Jerome must like you very much, right? I'm sure you're a
great girl.But I've loved Jerome for a long time, and we already have a child.Can you please not take
him away from me?"

Hearing the anguish in her voice as she begged me, I fell silent.



From a third person's point of view, I knew that Linda's situation was very pitiful.

But as someone who was directly involved in the issue, I couldn't accept such a drastic change.

What upset me the most was that Jerome had a lovely child with Linda.

"Jerome, I know that you're going to be the Alpha of the Rainbow Pack soon.I wouldn't dream of being
your Luna.I know that I’m not fit for such a position.All I want is for you to take me and my child
in.Please don't make me roam the streets with Andy,"

Linda said sincerely with tears in her eyes, looking at Jerome and me.

Her face gradually turned pale, and as soon as she finished her words, she passed out.

"Linda! Are you okay?"

Jerome caught her in his arms, carried her to the bed, and called the doctor in to treat her.

His eyes were filled with worry, as if he was afraid to lose the most important thing to him.

The undisguised emotions on his face left me distressed and on the verge of tears.

The woman he had once loved, Linda, came back to him with a child.What should I do?

Jennifer's POV:

As soon as I heard that Jerome's ex-girlfriend, Linda, had reappeared and was recuperating in his
room, I rushed there with Anthony.

When we arrived, we saw Linda lying in the bed with a doctor attending to her.

Jerome and Skylar were standing in front of the bed with worried faces.



But what shocked me the most about the scene was the little boy standing next to the bed,crying and
calling for his mother.

"Jerome, Skylar, what happened?" I asked in shock.

"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."

Holding Anthony's hand, I walked up to Linda and gave her a tight smile.

"I just heard about what happened to you.I truly feel sorry for what you have suffered in the past few
years.But I have a few questions to ask you that you must answer truthfully.Firstly, what's the name of
the disease you suffered from? How was it cured? And secondly, how can you prove that Andy is my
brother's child?"

My tone was sharp, and I didn't bother to mince my words.

I knew that it was impolite to be so direct, especially with someone who was in poor health.

However, my brother was no longer an ordinary werewolf.



He would be the Alpha of the Rainbow Pack soon, so I had to be cautious.

The timing of the appearance of Linda and Andy was just too coincidental.

This matter was related to the heir of the Alpha.

No mistake could be made.

"Hello, Jennifer.I had triple-negative breast cancer, which is the rarest and most dangerous type of
breast cancer.I was sure that I would die, which is why I left Jerome back then.It was only later that I
found out that I was already carrying his child.The baby in my belly gave me a newfound will to live.I
wandered around the kingdom looking for the best doctors.It was a doctor in the Red Sun Pack who
finally managed to cure me,"

Linda said, wiping her tears as she relayed her past to me.

"I swear on my life that Andy is Jerome's child.I wouldn't lie or joke about such a serious matter.Jerome
is the only one that I have ever loved in my life.Please trust me."

"Linda, it is not a matter of trust.This is something that concerns the whole pack.I will try my best to
verify whether it's true or not.Of course, a paternity test will be necessary," I told her with a gentle smile.

"Do you agree to let Andy take a paternity test?"

"Of course.Jerome is going to be the Alpha.It makes sense to have a paternity test,"

Linda agreed without any qualms.

Her expression was calm and her words were smooth, so she didn't seem to be lying.

Her reaction even made me wonder if I was being paranoid for no reason.



However, Linda appearing just before my brother ascended to the position of the Alpha was just too
strange to ignore.

I couldn't help but suspect that she had come for his power.

"Linda, we can have the paternity test at the hospital.When will you be free?"

"Tomorrow,"

Linda replied without skipping a beat.

Her calm attitude unnerved me.

Could Andy really be Jerome's child? If that was the case, Jerome would be stuck in a dilemma.

What choice would he make next?
