Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 112

Lauren's

POV

"Take your time. There's no need to rush."

In the garden, Victor and I were doing rehabilitation. Even though he had his surgery, it would still take some time for him to get a full recovery. After all, he was attacked by the Dark Enchantress. There were dark matters wrapping around the nerves of his legs and it took me a lot of effort to purify them. This was just the first step. "Don't rush. Today we're gonna try to stand up," I said slowly, watching his every move.

He was putting his hands on the armrests of his wheelchair and propped up his entire body. He was about to stand up slowly but then he stopped when he heard what I said.

"Why are you laughing?"

"You're talking to me like you're coaxing a little child, Dr. Lauren," Victor smiled, "you should try to relax and believe in yourself and me."

I was clenching my fists and my hands wouldn't stop sweating as I breathed heavily. I was even more nervous than Victor. Was it because I cared him too much? This kind of strange feeling made me purse my lips and I took a deep breath to calm myself down, "You must be mistaken. I'm just doing my job as your personal caretaker and I'm not nervous at all."

Victor chuckled, "Alright then, if you're not nervous, then you won't be surprised when you see me stand up like this..."

"Woah!"

Before he could finish his sentence, I already gasped.

Victor propped up his whole body with his muscular arms and stood up steadily in front of me. He was smiling at me like a child.

And I had never seen him like this before.

When he stood up, I realized how tall and strong he was. I had to look up to see those shimmering golden eyes and all sorts of feelings that were hard to explain flooded into my head as he stood there like a Greek god. The sunlight was shining on him and added a soft filter to his handsome face.

"This is magnificent..." I couldn't help but exclaim.

Victor raised his eyebrows.

I hastily held back my emotions and asked, "How are your legs? Do they feel painful or weak since you hadn't been able to stand up for too long?"

"There's less uncomfortableness and pain than before." "Before?"

Victor's lips twitched a little and he looked kind of guilty.

"You tried to stand up before?" I frowned. But then I thought Victor must have done that before in private but it was all history now. I smiled, "Now you really can stand up and I believe you'll get a full recovery pretty soon. But...I need you to do as I say and follow your doctor's orders. You can't try to stand up as you did before and I'll make you a plan."

"...Okay," Victor looked down and said but then Kent popped out and the smile on his face changed, "we'll follow your lead, cute and adorable Dr. Lauren."

Cute and adorable?

That was the first time I had heard anyone say that about me.

Victor frowned and narrowed his eyes. The next second, he got the control back.

I didn't know why he made Kent get back so quickly. But I didn't worry about that because they did that quite often.

But then Victor seemed to sway a little and held onto a banister before I could come up to him, "I'm alright."

That instantly caught my attention and I said, "Take a rest before we start again."

"I'm okay. If I really can't go on, I won't try to be the hero," Victor said, "it's just..." "It's just what?"

"Won't you give me a treat?"

He changed the subject too quickly and I didn't realize what he was talking about, "What?"

"He meant we need a little treat to get motivated," Kent came out again, "if we can walk to you steadily, can we get a big kiss? If you can say yes to that, I guess we'll try harder to walk up to you or even run to you." This guy.

I opened my arms to Victor and raised my eyebrows, "Okay, come over here. I'll give you a kiss."

That looked more like I was coaxing a kid.

Kent gave me a dangerous sneer but before he could make the next move, Victor took control again. When he walked to me, he wasn't stumbling like a toddler. He was walking steadily and his footsteps made my heart skip a beat. Even his peppermint scent got stronger.

It was like he had fully recovered and no one could tell he used to be in a wheelchair. He had just gone through a surgery and now he could already walk even though Victor was still walking slowly.

When he walked toward me, I subconsciously opened my arms and wanted to hold him but then he grabbed my waist and I was surrounded by this familiar scent. He looked down into my eyes and said with a hint of danger, "Now you can give me the treat." "... Of course." I raised my head and was about to kiss him on his cheek.

However, Victor had already kissed me on the mouth and started nibbling my lips softly. He put his hands on the back of my neck and pulled me in. I still had to stand on my tiptoe when he had already bent down and then I realized how much taller he was than me. In his embrace, I was even a bit petite and had to raise my head and stand on my tip-toe to reach his lips and his hormones completely wrapped me around.

That made me feel that this kiss was different.

He kissed me so hard that I couldn't help leaning toward him. My knees went weak and I leaned my whole body on him. Only when Victor stumbled a little did I realize he was still a patient. I hastily wanted to get up and then we ended up falling down to the lawn. Thank God the lawn was soft enough.

I immediately checked up on Victor awkwardly, "I should've been more careful."

"Hey, I'm not that fragile, Dr. Lauren," Victor chuckled and gave me an Eskimo kiss, asking gently, "I'm doing pretty well, did you feel that?"

"Yeah, yeah," I couldn't help but laugh, "if we're in the hospital, I'm definitely not a very good caretaker."

"Why?"

"A good caretaker wouldn't kiss her employer so hard that they both fell to the lawn."

"But your employer is very pleased," Victor gave me a peck on the cheek before he let go of me. We were sitting on the grass with his arm on my shoulder as we looked at his long legs, "you're an excellent doctor. The surgery is a success and I'm doing very well." "At this rate, you'll be able to run in the woods very soon."

"Yeah, I can start training." No matter how calm Victor always was, his eyes were sparkling when speaking of recovery and training.

I squeezed Victor's knees and asked how he felt, "Does it hurt? How about soreness?"

"Nothing. I think the training can proceed."

"Then I assume the matters wrapping around your knees have been successfully purified," I said and then I realized something was off when I saw how unsurprised he was, "aren't you curious, Victor, about how I cured you?"

Ever since the surgery, Victor had never asked about any details of the surgery and didn't look curious about my healing power. Was it because he trusted me or he had already figured out about my healing power? I was confused. Victor patted my head and raised his eyebrows, "By working your magic?"

I was stunned and didn't expect him to say that. After pausing for a while, I looked right into those clear eyes and finally got the answer.
