Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker -
Chapter 6
Lauren POV
The next day.
Now I was Victor's private doctor and his caretaker and my only patient were him. So I didn't have to do my routine job anymore and went straight to the VIP room where Victor was in.
A male caretaker ran out and his face was pale as paper.
I sighed and shrugged.
It had been only one night and this alpha had broken his own record again.
I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I walked in and saw Victor drinking water. There was still water splashed onto the floor. Seeing that someone came in, Victor immediately looked up at me and I could tell he was still angry. Not easy to make friends with at all.
I ignored the irritated look on his face and calmly reminded him, "That is the fifteenth caretaker you fired."
"So what?" Victor stared at me and seemed to be pissed off at me somehow. He pursed his lips and was kind of reluctant.
"Oh, I'm here to inform you that I'll be your private doctor and your sixteenth caretaker. So nice seeing you, Mr. Victor," I said as I glimpsed at him.
Just as I expected, when he heard that I was gonna be his new doctor and caretaker, he became gloomy and frigid.
He glanced at me and turned his wheelchair against me, "I don't need a caretaker."
Somehow I found it sort of...adorable. Because to me, Victor looked like a naughty little kid who threw a tantrum and tried to avoid the topic just because he didn't get his way.
So I wasn't so annoyed anymore and felt like it wouldn't be as hard as I had imagined to get along with him. I walked up to him again and squatted down, saying briefly before he turned me down, "Regular checkup." Victor didn't say no this time and silently let me do my job.
After I checked his legs, I didn't get up and just kept our eyes at the same level. I explained it to him coolly, "Your legs need daily massages by caretakers and if they don't get enough massages, you'll never be able to walk again." Never be able to walk again.
It was hard to process for a normal person, let alone a proud alpha like him.
So even though he was a tough guy, his lips still shivered and he panicked a little when he heard that.
"So, Mr. Victor, I'll be your caretaker from now on," I said calmly without an ounce of sympathy or pity, "I'm your attending doctor and I'm familiar with your physical condition. Me being your caretaker would be a perfect choice for you." Victor was silent for a while and eyed me up and down. Then he sneered "You want money? What exactly do you want?"
He was quite defensive around people.
I got up slowly and wrote down the results of today's checkup, saying seriously, "I want every one of my patients to get well, including you."
Victor was stunned when he heard that but he still looked quite distant as always. But I could feel his walls were breaking down bit by bit.
After thinking for a while, I told him about my purpose honestly, "Oh, but I do have one purpose when I sign up for this. I'm breaking off an engagement with some certain tribe and they might come and ask me to accept their requests lately. I need a place to hide." "So you wanna hide in my place?" asked Victor.
I nodded, "Yeah. They're not gonna come to your place to look for me. But rest assured, this won't cause any conflicts among the tribes because they are the ones who have made a mistake."
"You're quite honest."
"Honesty is one of my many strengths," I shrugged and said, "so you can see it as a deal which will benefit both of us. Will that make it easier for you, Mr. Victor?"
He would find out about this when Janice or the Lunarko Tribe came for me one day. I might as well tell him all of it right now and get this started in the right way. I wanted him to let his guard down and play along.
After a long time of silence, Victor smiled faintly and said, "Okay then. I agree to your proposal."
"Great! Wish our cooperation a great success."
"Hmm," Victor responded coolly.
I closed his file and Bella kept talking in my mind, trying to talk me into finishing the checkup I hadn't done yesterday. Her curiosity gave me a headache and I couldn't take it anymore, "Shut up." "What?"
His deep voice freed me from Bella's constant noises and meanwhile, I realized that I was so bothered by her that I just said that out loud instead of saying that to her in my mind, which was pretty awkward.
I said hastily, "Don't mind me. I was just talking to my wolf. She..."
I suddenly stopped talking and looked right into his curious golden eyes.
Victor wasn't a bad person at all. He might have a bad temper due to his injury and the disappearance of his wolf but he wasn't that hard to get along with. If he could finally agree to let Bella invade into his world and find the trace of his wolf, maybe his wolf could be found again.
But I had only known him for two days and we were practically strangers. Should I really tell him the truth about my healing power now? "Lauren," he said coldly.
I didn't know why I would trust him like this but I actually started to ask him that question, "Victor, do you want to get your wolf back again?"
"What?" His facial expression finally changed after hearing that.
"I'm talking about your wolf. Perhaps I have a way to..."
Before I could finish, someone knocked on the door and interrupted me, which made me realized what I just had done.
I almost told a stranger who I met two days ago about the secret that my wolf had magical healing power.
Thank God someone disrupted me.
I changed the subject and then walked to the door. I opened it and saw my assisting nurse. Even though she was wearing a mask, I could see how restless she was.
"What's the matter?"
"Dr Blanco..." the nurse hesitated and then said, "someone who claimed to be your sister tried to break into your office and was stopped by the head nurse. Now she is waiting for you at the nurse station."
Just as I expected, Janice and the others just wouldn't give this up and wanted me to compromise and acknowledge that Janice was the one who should be the Luna of the Lunarko Tribe.
How shameless and ridiculous could she get?
"Tell the security guards to throw her out," I said without any hesitation.
