Rejected and Pregnant Claimed By The Dark Alpha Prince novel Chapter 497

Chapter 497: It had to be closed

After Karmen left Juniper settled under Evan’s care, he made his way directly to Amelie. A servant ushered him into her chamber, where he found not only Amelie but also Zilia, who was sitting and holding Noah closely.

Karmen offered a polite, formal greeting to both ladies before Amelie motioned for him to take a seat on the silk-upholstered chaise.

"Amelie," Karmen began, moving straight to the crucial matter, "did you manage to speak with Gabriel?"

"No, why?" Amelie asked, her brows knitting together in instant worry. "Did something happen?" She glanced toward a maid nearby, requesting softly, "Ashna, please bring me my phone from the inner room."

"Nothing has happened to him, certainly. This is about Carlos’s grandmother," Karmen revealed, his voice dropping slightly. "She is not expected to survive. And Gabriel urgently needs you and Noah to travel there." 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Both Amelie’s and Zilia’s expressions instantly shifted from pleasant civility to palpable distress.

"Casaio was mentioning the same thing this morning when he returned," Zilia murmured, glancing uneasily at Amelie. "But he didn’t specify that the grandmother might not make it."

By then, Ashna returned with Amelie’s mobile phone. She placed it discreetly on the small, inlaid table before Amelie, keen not to interrupt the tense conversation.

"That’s likely because Prince Casaio returned earlier," Karmen responded, explaining the discrepancy. "I received the call from Prince Gabriel only an hour ago. I will personally take you and Noah there. You should first speak with both the Alpha King and the Luna Queen."

Amelie nodded. "Thank you for bringing the news so quickly. I will speak with them. But first," she asserted, looking down at the illuminated screen of her phone, "I need to check Gabriel’s messages. He clearly tried to contact me."

"Yes, talk with Gabriel immediately," Karmen urged, acknowledging the necessity.

"Amelie, Noah is sound asleep," Zilia mentioned, rising carefully from the chaise with the pup nestled in her arms. "I’ll settle him inside. You can speak with Gabriel undisturbed until then." Once Zilia had quietly departed, Amelie wasted no time and immediately dialed Gabriel’s number.

After a few tense rings, Gabriel answered the call.

"Sorry, Gabriel, I missed your messages," Amelie began, her voice low with concern. "I just heard the news about Carlos’s grandmother. Is the situation truly this serious? And what about Carlos? How is he coping with everything?"

"Well, the doctor has confirmed that Grandma won’t recover," Gabriel replied, his tone subdued and weary. "She likely only has a few days left to live. We don’t know the exact timeframe. When I spoke to her, she specifically asked about you. That is why I believe you need to come here with Noah. As for Carlos, he is simply enduring the reality."

Amelie registered a profound pain in Gabriel’s voice, a vulnerability she rarely ever detected in his usually steady demeanor. "When should I plan to take a flight from here? It’s already past one in the afternoon," she pointed out, considering the logistics.

"If possible, arrange to take off within the next hour," he stressed, emphasizing the extreme urgency. "Naturally, you will be flying here via the private jet. I will personally be there to receive you and Noah," he affirmed.

"Hmm. Then, I prepare for it. Goodbye and take care," Amelie said.

"Love you, mate," Gabriel whispered from the other side, bringing a soft smile to her lips.

"Love you too." She hung up the call and gazed at Karmen.

"We will be leaving within the next hour. You should ask someone from your home to bring your luggage. I’ll also get ready," Amelie asserted.
