Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 109

Lauren's

POV

Kent grabbed my wrist and slowly wrapped my fingers with his. His emerald eyes were smiling at me and his voice was shaking as he said from the bottle of his heart, "Thank you." "I'm back."

He wasn't just saying that to me, he was also talking to Victor. His wolf that had always been there for him was finally back from his sleep.

I suddenly had some strong feelings for Victor because I knew how disappointed he used to be and how many nights he spent calling Kent's name, hoping for his return. Victor had seen a lot of doctors before he met me and they all gave him false hopes that eventually turned into great disappointment.

I was glad that Victor still chose to believe in me before he became desperate and let me heal his legs and find Kent.

Those who laughed at Victor behind his back or hoped alpha Victor would resign were going to be disappointed. The alpha of the Midnight Claws Tribe, their king and the bravest warrior finally came back. He was still the strongest alpha that he always was. As I was overwhelmed by my emotions, Kent sneered, "So some dude won't cry under his covers from time to time."

...

"

Was he referring to Victor?

This guy broke the ice with his humour and I couldn't help laughing. Then Victor pushed Kent back into his body and tried to keep it cool but his ears were all red and he looked adorable.

Victor paused for a while and finally said, "...I've never done such things."

"Alright."

Compared to Kent, Victor was really quite honest and blunt.

"That guy made this up," Victor explained.

"Okay, I know," I nodded and wondered if I was laughing too hard.

Finally, Victor pursed his lips and stopped explaining himself. But his earlobes turned so red that I couldn't help but wanna get a feel. And of course, I didn't call him adorable or else he was gonna get upset again.

As we were talking, someone knocked on the door.

Mila and Richard walked in and she spoke up, "Post-operative examination. I've given you enough time and space before I came in here. But looks like you've got pretty familiar with this alpha's physical condition. Then I'll leave this exam form to you, Dr. Lauren." Realizing Mila was teasing me, I quietly rolled my eyes at her and took the exam form. But when I saw the exam items on it, I couldn't help thinking about how Victor and I first met and our first impressions of each other were... Well...not so good.

Who would know how close we were right now?

We locked eyes and smiled.

However, Richard's reaction really scared me. He was the beta of the Midnight Claws Tribe but now his tears were welling up in his eyes and if it weren't for the look on Victor's face, he looked like he wanted to hold Victor's hands and have a good cry. He tried to hold back his feelings and sobbed, "This is so great! Kent's back! Alpha Victor...you've finally recovered..."

"Richard," Victor pulled him back from his sorrow and said, "get down to business. Tell us about your investigation."

Get down to business?

I looked at him and wondered if we should give them some privacy.

But Victor held my hand and said, "You're involved too."

Richard cleared his throat and said, "Well, it's about Jason Andrews."

"I've done what you've ordered and broken his legs and one hand for good," Richard said seriously, "and after that, we had him and his bodyguards thrown back to his estate. Even if the Andrews family wants to dig something up, they won't get to Miss Blanco unless Jason tells them the truth. But I think..." "He'd rather say I did this," Victor said, "you're right."

A man arrogant like Jason would never admit that he made a mistake this time and got his butt kicked instead by a woman he didn't even take seriously of. So it was very likely that he would do exactly what Victor said. Besides, Jason couldn't be more humiliated now that his legs were completely ruined.

"Did I get you in trouble?"

"No," Victor said, "your problems are also my problems. And he has irritated me a long time ago. Sparing his life is merciful enough."

I had the urge of beating him up again when I thought of the bad things Jason said about Victor.

Something suddenly crossed my mind and I asked, "Is there anyone else there besides Jason and his bodyguards?"

"What?" Richard didn't understand why I asked that and he answered, "I don't think so. Do you wanna investigate anyone?"

I shook my head and let them talk. But I was still thinking about the forest. Janice got severely injured by me and Bella and almost died. She wouldn't be able to get back on her feet in such a short amount of time. Or she would likely be dead by then. But when the guards got to the forest, her body was gone. Did someone take her away? Or did the beasts in the forest...

As I was pondering, I subconsciously put my hands in my pockets and felt something. It was the picture I took from Janice. All I could think about was Victor's surgery when I got back so I didn't have time to check whether this picture was fake or not. Was Janice telling the truth back then?

I would never believe that my mother would betray her mate. But what about the picture and letter? Did Manuel know about this? Why did my mother commit suicide? Or was she murdered by someone? I got so many questions in my head and didn't know what to do next. I never felt so helpless.

"Lauren."

"Lauren!"

Mila's voice brought me back to my senses.

"What's wrong?"

"Are you too tired?" Mila felt my forehead with the back of her hand and said, "you've been through a lot yesterday and still came back and did a surgery. You must be exhausted right now. It's time for you to take a good rest."

Victor looked at me worriedly, "Are you alright?"

"I was just thinking about something," I gave him a reassuring smile and asked, "what's wrong?"

"I want to announce to the world that this surgery failed," Victor said.

Hearing that, I got why he wanted to do this from the look on his face and I nodded without any hesitation. I was his attending doctor and only a few people participated in this surgery so it wasn't a difficult thing to do. If we let people know that his second surgery failed, then...

Those who wanted to take Victor's throne wouldn't be able to keep it on the low anymore. And the people who were on the Dark Enchantress team might get caught this time. They would never expect that Victor could not only walk again, but Kent was also back.
