Abandoned by the Alpha, I Became the Lycan King's Mate-Chapter 316 last chance

[Donald’s Perspective]

"I apologize, Your Majesty, it’s not that I intend to dilly-dally, it’s just that Anthony’s condition is critical and dangerous right now, and I’m not sure if I should take a risk for him."

Before I could open my mouth to lighten the mood, Benjamin replied urgently, as if he were concerned that I might have misunderstood him.

I looked at Benjamin, softened my serious expression, and said, "Speak plainly."

Upon hearing this, Benjamin didn’t delay any further and expressed all his thoughts to me straightforwardly. Anthony’s escape from the enemy’s tight and perverse torture wasn’t due to luck nor the enemy’s underestimation and carelessness!

He was indeed confirmed dead by the enemy and discarded as a corpse; only to then regain a trace of consciousness by his incredibly strong willpower, hanging onto his last breath to get the message to the Royal City. And now, to use Benjamin’s words, it was just half a breath that was still being sustained.

Anthony’s injuries are too severe, and now conventional medical treatments are meaningless to him—his severe injuries leading to death are just the final problem.

The reason Benjamin was hesitating earlier about whether to take a risk for Anthony was not without cause.

Benjamin and a group of researchers had not wasted their efforts during this period; they made use of the previously collected information and data, and with Angel as a living example, they actually managed to decipher the composition of the twisted drug concoction by MASTER, as well as its entire production process!

"Are you saying you’ve successfully modified ’Rebirth’? Its side effects have been significantly reduced compared to before, and after observation and testing for some time, it can be fully implemented for practical use?" I was amazed at the news Benjamin brought and incredulously asked.

Perhaps the surprise in my eyes was too apparent, as Benjamin too showed a smile, nodding and saying, "Yes, Your Majesty, we have already passed the first round of animal testing. The second round is about to be conducted on actual humans. My colleagues and I are still looking for suitable candidates. Today, I wanted to report to you first. But what did you say just now? The drug is called ’Rebirth’?"

Seeing Benjamin mulling over the word ’Rebirth,’ a hint of irony slowly emerged in my expression. Of course, I was not mocking Benjamin, who is an upright and intelligent genius medic, and an excellent Lycan with outstanding contributions to the Wolf royal family.

The one I was really mocking was MASTER, who contradicted natural laws and ethics for his own twisted desires! The name ’Rebirth’ used for his concoctions is nothing but a joke laden with irony. A physician like Benjamin, who strives to save lives, truly represents the benevolent researchers who can bestow rebirth upon people.

"That’s not important; don’t dwell on it too much."

I stood up, walking over to Benjamin and patted his shoulder, continuing with a light laugh, "I understand what you mean, using this successfully modified new drug is the last chance to save Anthony! But before that, I need to discuss it with Margaret first, as this drug is still experimental, to see if they agree to let Anthony take such a risk."

While I understood this could indeed be the last opportunity, I couldn’t decide on behalf of everyone. Anthony was a friend of Margaret’s from childhood, and I needed to ask her thoughts first. Of course, the opinions of the Silver Moon Pack Alpha and Luna mattered too.

"Time is of the essence, so let’s do this: come with me to see them now; they should all be at the Holy Medical Pavilion!"

I said this and strode out of the great hall, gesturing for Benjamin and Christian to follow.

On hearing this, Benjamin’s eyes lit up, and knowing the urgency of the situation, he nodded without a word and followed directly.

In the intensive care unit of the Holy Medical Pavilion.

As expected, Margaret and Elizabeth, who had awakened, had already come to watch over Anthony and Armstrong, who was still in a coma.

When Margaret saw me and Benjamin walk in, she stood up from the chair outside the ward, and beside her was a pale Elizabeth sitting in a wheelchair, her eyes filled with sorrow.

"Donald? Why have you come now? Have all matters been dealt with? You’re alright, aren’t you?" Margaret looked at me, her voice full of concern.

I stepped forward, bent down to kiss her between the eyebrows, and said softly, "It’s all taken care of, everything on that end is sorted. How are you and Elizabeth doing?"

Upon hearing this, Margaret shook her head, her clear, beautiful eyes a bit red, as if she had cried, and she looked down at Elizabeth and replied in a low voice, "I’m fine, but Elizabeth has really been frightened these past two days. She just told me about yesterday’s ambush, and how Anthony and Armstrong desperately protected her and the other pack members..."

As Margaret spoke, her eyes reddened again, and she looked up at me, her voice carrying a hint of pleading, "I know Anthony’s in critical condition, but can’t you think of a way to save him?"
