Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker -
Chapter 15
Lauren POV
"Lauren!"
Someone called my name in a pretended gentle and soft voice.
I turned around and saw Janice coming in, looking pale in her hospital gown. She was wearing a coat on her shoulders and looked quite pitiful. Manuel's heart melted and he said, "Janice, you haven't fully recovered yet. What are you doing here?"
She was doing that same trick to get other people's attention again. I ignored her but she just came up and grabbed my arm, saying, "Lauren, I'm sorry. Please don't blame it on father. It's all my fault. We're family and I won't stand in your way and fight for the company if you want it. Just don't be mad at father, okay?"
I couldn't help but smirk, "Janice, who are you to say that to me?"
"Lauren..." Janice didn't expect that I would respond like that and she was stunned.
"Fight for the company?" I was amused and I stared at her, "I am the only daughter of the Alpha and Luna, and the sole heir to the Fullmoon Tribe. Moonlight Jewelry belongs to my mother. You're saying that you won't fight with me? This all belongs to me and my mother. What makes you think you can say that in front of my face? Is it because..."
I turned to look at my father and raised my voice, "Is it because my father has already married Mrs. Lola and she has become the Luna of the Fullmoon Tribe? I don't remember seeing father and Mrs. Lola having a ceremony in front of the elders." Hearing that, Janice's face became paler and her eyes flared with hatred.
If they hadn't had the ceremony, Lola wasn't even Manuel's second wife. She could only be counted as his mistress.
"Laurel!" Manuel roared angrily, "she's your sister. Why are you treating her like this? She's still very weak!"
"So?" After being mistreated by Manuel for so many years, I had lost my faith in him and didn't feel sad about it anymore. I just looked at him coldly and grunted, "Janice isn't my sister and the child she's carrying isn't mine either..."
Looking afraid of what I might say, Janice hurriedly interrupted me, "Lauren, I know it's all my fault. Please don't blame father and don't make a scene. Don't put him in a hard position. Father has dedicated his life to this." She squeezed my hand.
Was she afraid that I might tell everyone she was pregnant with my ex-fiance's child?
I sneered but didn't toss her hand away this time. I snatched her hand and grabbed her as she tried to fall on purpose. Then I pushed her into Manuel's arms and said, "Mind your feet. Don't pull the same trick again." "Alpha Manuel, if you dare to give Moonlight Jewelry to Janice, I'll destroy it. Mark my words," I said firmly.
After saying that, I didn't care about how alpha Manuel and the others would react and walked away with my chin up high.
I could feel that someone was glaring at me viciously and it must be Janice. But who cares? I wasn't afraid of her at all.
In the past, I kept my mouth shut when she took things away from me because I didn't want to get down to their level. But they really stepped out of line recently. Then it was about damn time to let them know who was the true heir to the Fullmoon Tribe and the group and who was the real daughter of the alpha.
Just as I walked toward the parking lot, Janice followed me here unexpectedly. She was running to me in tears, yelling, "Lauren, don't be angry at father and please don't let me get between you and him...Ah! Lauren!" She cried out in pain.
Janice rolled down the stairs as if she really tripped over. I was a doctor and I had the impulse to catch her with my hands but in an instant, she looked up at me with her eyes filled with coldness and she was smiling creepily.
A great amount of blood was coming out of her body.
She was losing a lot of blood and her child was in danger!
Even though I hated her guts, I was still a doctor and I couldn't just stand there and watch the baby die in front of me. So I hurriedly bent over and checked up on her.
She grabbed my hand hard and kept sweating. But she was still giving me that creepy smile, saying by my ear, "Lauren, you made alpha Kean test me if I'm threatening you with this child just so I can marry Michael. But you see, I already find a way out."
Her eyes were flickering with viciousness and then something crossed my mind. I instantly had Bella check out what was going on and I smelled something strange. I asked, "Did you take an abortifacient?"
"You're smarter than I thought you are," Janice's face distorted as she laughed, "your mother's company, your arranged marriage, and your father's love for you...These will all be mine!"
This vile woman was willing to take it so far to get what she wanted.
The next second, Janice changed her expression and started begging in a weak voice, "Please, Lauren. I was wrong. I shouldn't have fought with you. Please call me a doctor. Save me, and save this poor baby. Please..." "Janice!"
Michael shifted into his wolf form and pushed me away, holding Janice who had been bleeding in his arms.
He turned around and screamed at me, "Bitch! You fucking bitch! I'm gonna kill you!"
Alpha Manuel had arrived and saw me and the blood on the floor. He looked just as shocked and furious as he had been when he saw that broken doll.
He must be thinking about how awful his daughter had turned into.
Janice looked back at me and said silently, "It works every time."
They passed by me and didn't say a word to me again. They hurriedly took her to the hospital, leaving me in this dark parking lot. The chilling wind made my limbs go numb and cold and I just froze there for a long time. Beep. Someone honked.
I looked up and saw a car pulling over in front of me. The car window slowly rolled down and I saw a familiar face. He still looked the same, cold, emotionless. But somehow I didn't feel so frigid anymore. "Why did you come?"
Victor said wryly, "I'm here for my lady caretaker."
