Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 17

Janice

POV

In the hospital

It hurt!

It hurt so much!

I felt like my belly had been stabbed multiple times and I was being torn apart by a pack of wolves. My organs were shutting down and my blood was pouring from my lower body and my clothes were all stained red. Damn, I had taken the painkiller I got from Anne before taking the aborticide. But why did it still hurt so much?

"Michael, Michael...oh..." I was in so much pain that my mind went blank and I deliberately groaned louder just so I would look more miserable, "please, save our child...he's our baby, he's the gift that the Moon Goddess sent us..." Michael was panicking and he hastily grabbed my hand and said, "I know, Janice. The doctors are gonna do their best and everything's gonna be alright, Janice."

There was sorrow in his eyes and I wondered if that was for me or for that baby in my womb.

My father Manuel was also very concerned and kept on frowning. I screamed louder on purpose and pretended that I was suffering like hell and then I sobbed, acting to be strong, "Don't you worry, father..."

Then the doctors took me into the operating room and I could feel something just detached from my body and my heart suddenly felt empty. I knew it was my baby leaving my body.

He wouldn't blame me.

My baby, we'll meet again someday but right now mom needs you to protect me from our enemy. You're my baby, you won't blame me, right?

Thinking about the look on Lauren's face, my pain turned into pleasure. That woman really thought that making a scene in the meeting would stop everything. How foolish and ridiculous she was! Everything would all be mine. Her mother's company, her lover, the position of the Luna...

They would all be mine!

I gradually lost consciousness in the rapture of getting back at Lauren, and by the time I opened my eyes again, I was already in the hospital room, and Michael, sitting by my bed, had a gloomy look on his face. It looked like he hadn't slept in a long time. Seeing that, I nudged him and asked in a shaking voice, "Michael, where's our baby?"

"Janice, you finally woke up," Michael was thrilled when he saw me awake but then he looked away sadly when he heard what I said, "we...we'll have more children in the future. Just have a good rest and..."

Even though I already knew that, I still acted to be shocked. I opened my eyes wide and just let tears well up. Though I was crying because my wound was hurting, it was enough for me to get them to feel sorry and guilty.

I wept, "No way. That's our baby...It's okay if I can't marry you, Michael. I won't ask you to marry me again but please give me back my baby, okay? I shouldn't have stolen you away from Lauren. It's all my fault. But can she please have mercy for my child? He's innocent!"

My words didn't make sense anymore, which only made Michael pity me even more. And that made him remember who "killed" our child. He hugged me lovingly and said, "Honey, don't beat yourself up. I love you and I'll marry you soon. And we'll have more children one day."

"As for that woman..." Michael's eyes turned red and he gritted his teeth, "I will make her pay!"

Yes, that was exactly what I wanted.

I glimpsed at my father who was standing behind Michael and I pretended that I still hadn't come back to my senses. I reached out my hand to Manuel, crying, "Father, I don't want that company anymore. Can you give me back my child? Don't blame it on Lauren. She didn't do it on purpose. But please talk to her and ask her to give me back my baby!"

Seeing that, my mother Lola also came up to him and cried out loud, "My poor Janice! She doesn't even have the right of inheritance and isn't a threat to Lauren at all! Why did she do that? She can just come at me if she really hates me to guts. Why did she do that to a good kid like Janice?"

At this moment, the ward was filled with crying and sobbing.

But that wasn't enough for me.

I yanked back the covers and acted like I was leaving. My body was trembling as I said, "I'll get out of here. I won't steal anything from Lauren anymore, I'll give her back the doll too. I'll give her everything back...I don't want to become like that doll with all the limbs cut off...Lauren...I'm sorry..."

"Janice, what's happening?" Michael was terrified and he hugged me.

Memories of that doll came back to Manuel and he looked grim.

Then I pretended to faint again.

The doctors I arranged for today came right in and gave me a checkup, saying, "She's very weak right now and after getting irritated, she needs to have a good rest now. Miss Janice isn't fit to be discharged today."

"Goddamn it! That bitch!" Michael gritted his teeth and roared.

Manuel came forward and hugged my mother Lola who was weeping and he said, "Don't worry. I'll make it up to Janice."

"I'll make an announcement tomorrow that Janice will handle the jewelry company from then now," Manuel said in a deep voice.

Lola said anxiously, "But what about Lauren..."

"I'm still in charge. I'm the alpha of the Fullmoon Tribe! She should never disobey me!" Manuel grunted.

Michael also said, "I'll tell my parents everything tomorrow and I'll marry Janice as soon as possible. No one can stop me this time."

Everything was under my control.

Although I lost one child today, I would have more in the future. And I could get them to love me even more and I would be the future Luna of the Lunarko Tribe. Everything went so well.

Victor POV

Lauren was a smart woman and somehow I found her extremely attractive.

To be honest, I didn't know why I got worried and followed her after seeing her leave the house hurriedly. But I didn't expect that I would see the whole thing in the parking lot.

At that time, Lauren was in a trance and she was staring off into space, standing there all alone like a lone wolf.

I felt like I saw myself in her.

But wolves always came in a pack.

"Victor?" Lauren waved her hands in front of my face.

I came to my senses and asked, "Has your holiday ended yet? Shall we go back to the estate?"

"I've still got something to do and I need the driver to take me to this place," Lauren pointed at an address and then suddenly thought of something, "Alpha Victor, do you need to go somewhere else? You don't need to ask your driver to drive me there. The car you lent me is just over there."

"I don't think you should drive given your condition. You're my private doctor and I don't want anything bad to happen to you because that will hinder my treatment," I said it in such a mean way even though I really cared about her.

Lauren smiled and said, "Rest assured. I'll give you all the treatment you need. Then please take me to this place."

We were in such a good mood just then but my harsh words ruined everything for both of us. But I couldn't think of a subject to talk about so we were silent the whole way until she got off the car.

"Relax, Alpha. Victor, I'll be back in time for your massage tonight," Lauren waved at me and said. "Okay..." I said stiffly.

Someone burst out laughing in the front seat.

The person who I forced to be my driver today, Beta Richard, was trying not to laugh out loud, "Alpha, do you want us to wait here for Dr. Lauren?" That would be too suspicious.

"No. Let's go home," I glanced at him coldly and couldn't help but say, "send someone to take the car in the parking lot here and pick her up later." Richard smiled, "Okay, I'll get that done."

"Also, have some people investigate what happened in Nadir Hotel today."

I wanted to know why Lauren suddenly went to see the alpha of the Fullmoon Tribe even though she didn't give a damn about her family anymore. What did she care so much about?
