The King's Wife Is The Alpha's Mate-Chapter 421 I Will Be Right Back

When Leland had calmed down, Eloise again reached into her pocket. This time she took out a bottle that was 2 times the size of her thumb.

"The poison Elias gave you has no antidote but seeing as you can withstand it and not die, I tried to make a healing potion that can speed up your recovery," Eloise said, reaching out the bottle to Leland.

She added, "During these two weeks I worked hard by formulating several potions together. Then after doing a series of trials, I managed to find the right formula and succeeded in making this one. It will neutralize the remnants of the poison in your body so you can recover faster. I have tried this on myself."

Eloise smiled coldly when she saw Leland didn't budge. She said, "Since you have come here and saved me from Elias, as a person who knows to show my gratitude, I am giving you this potion for free. Up to you if you want to recover faster or if you just want to rely on your physical ability to heal on its own."

Leland turned to her. He was silent and just looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously. He felt that Eloise's kindness was not sincere but she had another agenda. What could that possibly be?

He didn't want to take anything from this witch. However, when he saw his body still looking so stiff, he became depressed. It took him two weeks to finally be able to sit down and move his upper body. How much longer would he need to get up and recover enough to go home?

His chest was filled with so much pain and longing for Sophie. He wanted to see her and hug her and cry with her. He didn't want to wait.

He already went through the worst. Taking this potion from Eloise couldn't be so bad after what happened to him, right? Besides, he could tell that Eloise really wanted him to live. She could have killed him easily if she wanted him dead.

"Look, this is not poison," Eloise said. "I drank this every day to make sure it's really working. I have never felt so rejuvenated and fresh. I am actually so proud of this potion. This is my best one so far." 𝗳𝓇ℯe𝓌𝚎𝚋𝓃𝚘𝚟𝘦𝑙.𝑐𝚘𝙢

She took the bottle and drank half the liquid inside it. She smiled and wiped her lips afterward. Then she put the bottle on the side table. "I will just leave it here. Feel free to take it. Or not. I don't care anymore."

Leland looked at the bottle and hesitated for a moment, but because his desire to go home to Sophie and their children was so great, he finally took the bottle and drank its contents.

"That's good," Eloise smiled. She patted Leland on the back and took the bottle from his hand. "Now, just rest and you will soon feel your energy invigorated, and your body will feel much better. It should give you results immediately."

Leland didn't say anything. He looked away and focused his sight on the window. He wanted to forget the scene he just saw earlier, of how Anne and Jack died. It was so heartbreaking.

He promised himself, someday he would take that toneglyph from Eloise and destroy it so Eloise would never have the chance to show it to Sophie. He didn't want Sophie to witness what he saw. She had suffered enough.

***

It's been several hours. Leland wanted to curse in anger. He still didn't feel any changes in his body. Didn't Eloise say it would show results immediately? It's been hours and nothing.

There were no signs of getting better. He gritted his teeth. He shouldn't have hoped too much. This potion given by Eloise didn't show the required reaction. It might not work for him as it did for Eloise because he was a lycan, not a witch like her... Was that really the case?

Leland felt disappointed because he had hoped so much for the potion to work so he could go home soon. He missed Sophie so much. He was wondering what Sophie was doing now.

Leland was now lying on his back. He kept thinking about Sophie. Everything that happened today was exhausting. He didn't realize when he had started to fall asleep.

When he opened his eyes, it was already morning. Leland was surprised to feel his body suddenly become very light.

He sat up, folded his neck to the right and left alternately then moved and twisted his arms a few times. He felt that right now his body was really in good shape.

Leland immediately got out of bed and was very happy that he could finally stand up. The potion from Eloise turned out to be working really well. It just took longer for him to see the results. Although Eloise was very annoying, it was undeniable that she was a genius. She came to power as the grand witch of her coven because she was the most talented of them all.

"Gosh... it works..." Leland mumbled to himself as he looked at both his palms and moved his arms again. He felt like himself again.

He turned to the window and walked over. The sun shone straight through the room as he opened the windows, it felt very warm as it hit his skin. ƒ𝐫𝒆𝐞w𝗲𝚋𝗻૦𝘷e𝙡.c𝑜𝙢

Leland took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. For a moment he stood there in silence and looked at the view of the garden outside. When he saw the sun ahead, he felt like he was reborn. He struggled against death for weeks, and now he won.

After a minute of silence, Leland looked down at the pink flower on the window sill. He took one of the flowers out of the pot and kissed it.

"I'll be right back," he murmured, smiling as he looked at the flower gently as if he was looking at Sophie. He missed her so much. He had not been able to feel her for weeks and he couldn't wait to go home and see her again.
