The Alpha's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 59

Chapter 59: TREATING THE QUEEN

Jasmine’s POV

Loren and I continued preparing the lotions, and I stayed up to date with him.

After a few minutes, he was done.

I sighed happily and looked up at him. "I think the potion is done."

He nodded as he turned it into a little bottle. "I wouldn’t have done this without your help."

I was silent.

He handed me the bottle and a few other things in a basket.

"Let’s go." He said. "We would deliver the items to her."

He turned around to gather his things.

My mouth dropped.

I couldn’t go back to see the queen.

Loren didn’t know that I was the reason why the Queen was ill in the first place.

He headed to the door and stopped short when he saw I was not following him.

"What are you waiting for?" He asked me. "An invitation? Come on, let’s go."

"The Queen is already familiar with your face," I said. "I think it’s you who should go see her."

I couldn’t tell him the Queen had seen me and called me her late daughter.

He frowned. "So you want me to carry all these things by myself?"

I sighed.

Loren had been good to me.

Thanks to him, I was well and alive, and none of those girls had succeeded in killing me.

I eventually gave in.

I followed him out of our quarters and went down the hallways.

Eventually, we were at the door of the queen’s bedroom.

The guards stood at attention.

"I’m the healer." He told them. "The Queen is waiting for me."

They took off their spears blocking the way and stood at attention.

Then Loren opened the door and went in.

I followed him right behind.

The room was large and beautiful.

Befitting for a Queen.

I took in the room, admiring how it had been well arranged.

Her servants were there, and an older woman was probably around the same age as the queen.

But she was dressed in simple clothes, which indicated she was probably a servant too.

She rose from the chair in which she was seated and walked up to us.

"Loren, it’s good to see you." The woman said and hugged Loren.

I stood with the basket in my arm while they exchanged pleasantries.

"It’s good to see you too, Hildegard." He replied warmly.

It was rare and unusual to see Loren being friendly to anyone.

Not even me.

But he seemed to be friendly with this woman.

Then, after she had exchanged warm greetings, she turned and saw me.

She froze instantly.

It was like she, too, had seen a ghost.

I couldn’t understand why everyone was suddenly startled when they saw me.
