A Guide to Raising a Little Human [Vampire Clan]

In the ward, Alpha opened her eyes and heard the sound of a phone call coming from beside her.

"Okay, I understand. It's alright, I'll take care of it. It's a small problem. Goodbye, Uncle."

Jackley hung up the phone and then looked at Alpha.

"Wow, you're finally awake! I've been here with you for three days, you know? These past few days have been awful."

Alpha had just woken up, and her eyes were still a little dazed.

"Three days?"

Jackley: "Yeah, you hit your head in that car accident before, don't you remember? We told you to go for a check-up but you didn't go. You fainted once but didn't take it seriously. The doctor said if you don't have surgery soon, you might become mentally impaired."

Alpha finally understood the current situation.

After being hit by a car, he didn't stay in the hospital for observation and treatment; he only thought about finding Ah Lin. So this time, he fainted, was taken into the operating room for surgery, and then remained in a coma for three days afterward.

My head doesn't hurt as much anymore, so I should be fine, but...

"What about Ah Lin?"

"Who?"

"Where is my human, Ah Lin, right now?"

"Didn't you take it to the vet? It's locked up now."

Alpha was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "You haven't gone to see her even once in three days?!"

Jackley's lips twitched. "Brother, you know I've been blacklisted by that pet hospital for trying to steal that white-haired human last time? Every time I go in, I have to provide proof, it's such a hassle. And it's just boarding for a few days, what could possibly happen?"

Alpha hurriedly changed his clothes: "Of course something happened. My pet just misbehaved, and you left him alone in a strange place without even checking on him. Do you think he'll think that?"

Jackley exclaimed, "Ah! You thought you didn't want him anymore?"

"Oh, it's okay. You were going to punish him anyway. There's a term for this, the 'abandoned cat effect,' right? Why don't you just leave him there for ten days or half a month? Maybe he'll be even closer to you then?"

Alpha paused, and unusually swore.

"Bullshit!"

Jackley was annoyed: "Hey! Who are you talking to? Do you know how tired I've been because of you, you wretched human? Raising a human has turned you into a demon!!!"

Alpha then regained some of his composure and said, "Sorry, I'm not in a good mood."

Jackley, chin in hand, said, "I'm in a bad mood too. And you know how much I hate that human in your house right now?"

Alpha: "You can have a problem with me, but don't show any malice towards him. He can sense it."

Jackley scoffed, "Anyway, my uncle just called me. He said if you don't go to the company next week and keep staying home to take care of that dead human of yours, he'll break your legs and throw your little human into the river to drown."

Alpha's eyes darkened: "I understand."

……

By the time Alpha arrived at the veterinary hospital, it was nearly midnight.

He stood outside the transparent door, looking at the little humans sleeping in their nest.

He still sleeps in that insecure position, curled up in a ball, looking pitiful, in his pet bed that he doesn't like.

The neck wound was relatively shallow and should have already healed. The leg wound was more serious, but it didn't break the bone, so it was just wrapped in thick bandages.

Moreover, whether it was Alpha's imagination or not, he felt that the little human's eyelashes looked wet and there were still tear stains on his face.

Alpha felt as if his heart had been stabbed.

To be honest, I was definitely angry. Anyone would feel bad if they found that their pet, which they had raised for so long, was always trying to run away.

However, when he saw the little human covered in wounds, his heartache and worry far outweighed his anger...

Ultimately, he also bears some responsibility.

He chose to raise a human who had been hurt, so he should be prepared to pay a higher price.

After completing the formalities, Alpha gestured for the nurse to open the door, then quietly approached.

Perhaps because he was a light sleeper in an unfamiliar environment, his little human was awakened almost immediately, even though Alpha had tried his best to keep his voice down.

Chu Lin tilted his head back, looked at Alpha, and paused for two seconds before confirming that he was not dreaming.

"Alpha..."

Chu Lin couldn't help but sniff.

"You've finally arrived."

The little human spoke with a hint of grievance that was barely perceptible. Alpha felt her heart melt, but she still refrained from hugging him immediately.

No, I can't be soft-hearted now.

We need to make the little humans realize their mistakes.

Alpha gave a low "hmm".

Chu Lin finally mustered up the courage to speak in such an almost coquettish tone, but only received a small response, which made her feel a little disappointed.

But he still managed to grab onto Alpha's clothes.

"Take me back."

After Chu Lin finished speaking, he tentatively asked, "Is that alright?"

Alpha did not immediately agree: "Give me a reason."

For example, they won't run away anymore, they'll be more obedient and listen to reason...

Any reason will do.

Chu Lin looked at Alpha and thought for a moment, then said, "I can help you with the housework."

Alpha: "..."

He reached out and flicked Chu Lin's forehead: "Do I need this?"

Chu Lin looked up at him.

Seeing that Chu Lin really didn't know what to say, Alpha sighed and said, "Promise me you'll listen to me."

Chu Lin nodded: "I promise."

Alpha then reached out and picked Chu Lin up in his arms.

Wow, it's so much lighter...

His little human has been either wandering outside or eating nutritionally deficient pet food at the hospital these past few days, so he's definitely lost weight.

Alpha frowned, but Chu Lin thought it meant he was complaining about how heavy he was.

"I can walk by myself."

"You don't call it 'leave,' you call it 'jump.'"

Chu Lin lowered his eyes and grabbed the fabric at Alpha's chest.

"Alpha..."

"Um?"

"I'm sorry, I've caused you a lot of trouble."

"It's okay."

Chu Lin looked down and felt that Alpha seemed much colder, probably still angry, or too disappointed in him...

When he goes back this time, Alpha will probably only treat him like a pet, and might never trust him again.

Alpha placed Chu Lin on the back seat of the car, and then stuffed his favorite rabbit plush toy into Chu Lin's arms before starting the car.

Chu Lin hesitated for a long time before grabbing the front seat and asking:

"How is your injury?"

"It's all better now."

"Oh……"

Chu Lin didn't know what to say, so he sat back down in silence.

They didn't say a word until the car stopped, and Alpha carried him home, placed him on the sofa in the entryway, and half-squatted down to change his shoes.

Finally, perhaps noticing that Chu Lin seemed a bit flustered, Alpha kissed his cheek: "We're home now, relax a bit."

Chu Lin hummed in agreement.

It's best not to run away for now. Without an identity or preparation, it's just a waste of time and a death wish.

Staying here, at least Alpha will treat him well...

"Take off your clothes, take them all off."

Chu Lin was holding onto the cabinet, trying to stand up, when he heard this and thought he had misheard.

"Huh?"
