Becoming Alpha’s Personal Caretaker
Chapter 8

Lauren

POV

Just as I expected, it was Michael. Janice would never do anything without a purpose.

She destroyed that doll to make father pity her and fear his firstborn who was always so distant. And now she wanted Michael to give up on our engagement at the cost of her baby.

Janice's face turned pale as she leaned in his arms. She tried to fight back the pain and sobbed, "It's not Lauren's fault...It's all because of me...I shouldn't have come here to beg her to ask Uncle Kean to release you...I miss you so much, Michael.......Ah!" Janice clutched her belly and moaned in pain, "The bay, our child..."

Michael picked her up and glared at me before he left, "Lauren, if anything happens to Janice and our baby, I will make you pay! You wicked bitch!"

I watched them coldly as they left.

Janice was really good at this. A gentleman like Michael would say that kinds of harsh things to me in public for her and I could tell from the look in his eyes that he wanted to kill me right now.

I glanced at the people in the corridor and they instantly stopped chitchatting, lowering their heads and pretending they didn't see what just happened here. But then they looked up at me quietly with fear in their eyes.

The one who got hurt must be the victim.

So absurd.

I looked at the blood on the porcelain tiles and sneered. And then I pushed open the door and was about to go back to my office and get away from this madness. But then someone said behind me. "Dumb as hell."

Victor?

Why was he here?

I turned around and saw Victor who was sitting in his wheelchair. His eyes were filled with sarcasm and I didn't know if he had seen the whole thing.

Hearing his remark, I asked, "Who are you talking about?"

"Those two and you," Victor said with a straight face.

Even though Victor insulted me, I didn't get mad at all and was actually quite curious. I couldn't help but ask, "I thought men all dig that. A beautiful woman is playing the victim and even got hurt." Victor sneered, "You think I'm dumb like that idiot?"

Hearing that, I wasn't frustrated at all. I didn't know how Michael would react if he knew someone said that about him.

Unexpectedly, Victor paused and then glanced at me, "And you think that woman is beautiful? You're not only dumb, but you also don't have a good taste. How can you let a woman like that do this to you?" What did he just say?

I rolled my eyes and changed the subject, "Mr. Victor, why aren't you in your ward? Why did you come here? You're looking for me?"

"I wanna know who are the people you're running away from. Turns out it's just a bunch of dummies," Victor paused and then said in an unnatural tone.

It would draw too much attention for us to talk in the corridor. I opened the door and invited him in, saying indifferently, "I'm not running away from them because I'm afraid. I just don't wanna waste my time on those dummies anymore and I don't care about what Janice took away from me. Only she would treasure those things."

Victor rolled his wheelchair into the room and started talking as the door was closed, "Just because you don't give a damn doesn't mean they get to take your things away from you."

I was shocked and my hands froze a bit when I tried to pull the chair.

No one had ever said that to me.

My father Manuel said that Janice didn't have the right to inheritance so I should be nice and tolerant to her. And she and Michael were in love with each other, as an elder sister, I should let them be engaged so that people wouldn't call her a homewrecker. My ex-fiancé said that we were not in love anyway so I should let them be when Janice got pregnant.

No one had ever said that to me, ever.

I lowered my head to hide my expression and feelings and I felt like my heart melted a bit. When I looked up at him, I gave him a big smile, "You're right."

"The next couple of months might not be as bad as you presume," I looked right into his golden eyes and said, "I promise, I'll try my best to help you recover."

I would let Bella come out and help Victor find his lost wolf at the right moment.

Victor opened his mouth as if he was trying to say something. But eventually, he just said, "I don't want my treatment to be influenced by some morons." Then he left with his nose held high.

I was completely confused. He came all the way here from the VIP room just to see who I had been avoiding?

Was he really that into gossips?

Never mind. I didn't want to think about it anymore.

I stretched my arms and started organizing the files of my patients. But then Bella popped out and did something that really scared me!

Victor POV

Of course, I didn't come here just to see who those morons were.

What Lauren said before she left the ward really bothered me. It seemed that she wanted to tell me that she might know a way to help me find my wolf, which was the same thing several doctors and witches had told me. Some of them even proposed some absurd ways and I know they just wanted my money.

But Lauren was different. At that moment, I felt like she really knew a way of getting Kent back.

Perhaps it had something to do with the secret she had been hiding.

However, a nurse disrupted and Lauren seem to come back to her senses and didn't want to talk about it anymore. She became defensive again.

I subconsciously followed her but then I witnessed a freak show. Lauren was running away from a skinny and hypocritical woman and that fiancé was nothing but an idiot. He was completely blinded by that fake woman.

It was such a simple trick.

But I didn't know why I would get irritated when I saw those people looking at Lauren that way. Why didn't they see through her sister's plot? Why did Lauren get set up by her again?

What a silly woman!

I kept cursing in my mind. I couldn't help but give her a warning.

Lauren seemed to be shocked at what I said. She froze a little and then managed to hide her feelings. Even though my wolf was nowhere to be found, I was still sensitive enough to notice the change on her face. Her eyes went soft and she wasn't so frigid anymore. She even smiled at me.

To be honest, she looked gorgeous when she smiled.

I didn't know why that stupid son of an alpha would want to break up with Lauren and marry that boney bitch.

Lauren said to me, "I promise, I'll try my best to help you recover."

They had all made empty promises to me that they would do anything to cure me but none of them actually did it. They were just stalling and wanted me to pay them more.

But I felt that Lauren was sincere when she said that.

Maybe...

She really had a way to heal me.

At that moment, I almost gave in and said yes to her. But then I fought back my urge and fled the scene.

As long as I didn't get my hopes high, I would never be disappointed.

That was the only lesson I had learned from my countless sessions of treatments.

But all of a sudden, Lauren wanted to talk to me through mind link. She would be my caretaker for the next few months anyway and it would be more convenient to communicate through mind link. So I let my guard down and talked to her. And then, she said gently with a smile in my mind.

"Please trust me," she said.

"Your wolf is waiting somewhere for you to wake him up again."
