Outcast: The Alpha King's Beloved

Chapter 237: The Poisonous Perfume 

Daniel's POV: 

I threw myself on the sofa and buried my face in my hands as feelings of guilt overwhelmed me.

My father could have been murdered, and I didn't even think that it was a possibility until now.

How could I not blame myself for his death? He was a healthy man who had many more years of life to look forward to.

He had some of the best doctors in the country looking after him.

How could I let him die like that? I should have noticed that something was wrong earlier.

I failed to protect my father.

As I gritted my teeth to stifle the urge to cry, my muffled sobs wracked against my chest.

I took a few deep breaths to calm myself down.

If someone really killed my father in secret, how did they do it? After all, my father's diet and medicines were handled only by a specially trained group of staff members who wouldn't have made a mistake with his medication.

"Daniel, I guess we'll have to postpone your wedding now," Devin said suddenly, wiping his tears with a handkerchief.

"Of course! I'm sure Danie! will need some time to mourn the untimely passing of Alpha Marlon," Helen replied in a hurry.

"Devin, you are right.We should prepare a funeral for Dad as soon as possible so his soul may rest in peace.The wedding will have to wait," I said, glancing at Helen.

"It's such a pity that Dad didn't get to see you and Helen get married," Devin said.

When I heard Devin mention this, I couldn't hold my tears back.

"Be strong, Daniel.I believe that Alpha Marlon will give us his blessings from heaven," Helen said.

Her words gave me comfort and as I looked into her eyes, I felt peace once again.She was such a thoughtful person.

"I'll go to our room to pack up your father's things and prepare for the funeral."

My mother stood up and dragged herself to their bedroom as she wiped the tears from her face.

Helen and I followed her just to make sure that she was fine.

As soon as I entered the room, the old furnishing reminded me of him.
