A Guide to Raising a Little Human [Vampire Clan]

"No...no..."

In his haste, Alpha ripped off the IV tubing, got out of bed, and ran toward the door.

Jackley couldn't stop him: "What the hell?"

The ward door was kicked open.

The nurse who had just stepped out the door was startled. She stared wide-eyed at the vampire who had been so gentle and refined just a moment ago, now running out barefoot as if he had gone mad.

Jackley ran out after her, giving the nurse an apologetic smile before sprinting after her.

"I'm speechless, you lunatic! What's the rush? You're probably hiding at home, aren't you? Are you afraid your wife will run off with another vampire?!"

Alpha ignored them.

It wasn't until they reached the hospital entrance that security guards rushed out to stop him, and several of them were pushed to the ground by Alpha.

"Did they escape from a psychiatric ward?"

"No, no, I just got excited for a moment."

Jackley stopped the security guard: "Well, I've already paid the money. He can complete the discharge procedures later. He's in a hurry to go home and find his wife."

The security guard frowned, but perhaps seeing how pitiful Alpha looked, he took pity on them and waved them away.

While driving, Jackley felt he had unknowingly saved Alpha's life by grabbing the steering wheel in time.

Jackley eased the tension by saying, "So it wasn't that human after all. That explains why I took him away; that vampire next to me was even cursing at me."

Alpha was on edge: "That white one wasn't even mine to begin with. If it weren't for him, there wouldn't have been so much trouble."

Jackley: "My bad, my bad. I only asked about this one human. But didn't you put a collar on your human?"

"I'm wearing a wristband; it has GPS tracking."

"That's settled then. He's probably just scared and hiding at home. Even if he's lost, we can just locate him. He's probably only been hungry for a day at most, it's nothing serious."

Alpha's mood worsened.

Is being hungry all day a small matter?

He has never let the little human go hungry since he brought him back.

My weight has increased by several pounds, and I've gained some weight around my stomach and legs...

What if he was really scared and ran away, unable to find his home, and ended up homeless?

Alpha's mind conjured up an image of a small human hiding in the greenery, his face dirty, his hair messy, with a few leaves stuck in it...

"Are you a turtle? Why don't you drive faster!"

Jackley got yelled at again, cursed, and floored the gas pedal: "You're a heartless scoundrel."

This high-speed chase ended with Jackley receiving three electronic speeding tickets.

The moment Alpha pushed open the door, he saw no shadow and his heart sank.

"Ah Lin, are you there?"

"Baby?"

"Lin..."

"Come out. Don't hide from me..."

Alpha searched every room, but couldn't find a trace of him.

Jackley chased after him and handed him his shoes.

"Change your shoes first. Aren't you a germaphobe? Ugh, these footprints are filthy."

Jackley realized that Alpha had no intention of paying attention to him, and instead went straight to the study, took out his spare phone, and logged into his account.

hurry up……

Lin is not at home.

It would be dangerous for him to be out there all alone.

Alpha logged into his account using his backup phone and went to find the location of the bracelet. —

At the entrance?

Alpha looked at his phone and followed the location signal step by step as he walked out.

Then, near the doorway where they were hit yesterday, they found a severed bracelet.

Alpha's hand holding the bracelet trembled slightly involuntarily.

Jackley also fell silent.

This cut surface was clearly made by a hard steel knife, something a human wouldn't be able to access, so there's only one possibility.

This little human was targeted by other vampires and taken away.

A whole day has passed; the station could have handled several rounds of passengers.

In the best-case scenario, it would be picked up and raised by another vampire.

In the worst-case scenario, if you encounter an organization that specializes in selling human blood and organs, you'd probably dismantle it so badly that you couldn't even put the parts back together.

Alpha was about to call the police, but then paused.

The police won't file a case if a human goes missing.

We need to post missing person notices.

Check the surveillance footage.

Contact the property management.

We need to find...

Alpha stood there, then suddenly felt his vision go black, and then collapsed amidst Jackley's scream.

……

Withdrawal successful.

Chu Lin looked at the cash being dispensed from the ATM and pulled his hat brim down low.

He placed a letter next to the ATM, written in a vampire language he wasn't very fluent in.

『Given to: Alpha』

Thank you, I will pay you back.

"I'm safe. Goodbye."

'—Lin.'

Chu Lin didn't know when Alpha would track him down here through bank card withdrawal records, but he still couldn't help but write a sentence on the back of the letter.

"sorry."

Chu Lin held the letter in his hand, then put it down.

There's nothing he'll miss. He never intended to stay by Alpha's side or depend on Alpha for survival. No matter how good Alpha is to him, no matter their relationship, he won't...

will never.

Chu Lin had posted a note outside the ATM compartment door that read "Out of Service".

Yu Ci leaned against the wall, keeping watch, waiting for Chu Lin to come out.

"Here you go, I've withdrawn 50,000 yuan. There are still several hundred thousand yuan left in the card, but I can't withdraw any more."

Yu Ci: "Understood."

He reached out his hand, but Chu Lin pulled the money back behind him and said, "Call me brother."

Yu Ci: "Why?"

Chu Lin: "Xiao Bai calls me Brother Lin, what do you think?"

Yu Ci answered without hesitation: "Brother."

Chu Lin handed him the money: "That's right, you have to listen to me from now on."

Yu Ci tilted his head, looking like he was the boss whoever had the money, and had no objections.

They traveled for almost another day and arrived at a remote, abandoned factory.

As darkness approached and the vampires outside were about to become active, the two decided to rest there for the night.

Yu Ci spread the coat on the ground and then helped Chu Lin remove his disguise.

As it turned out, the disguise wasn't too bad; at least when Chu Lin asked a passing vampire for directions, no one noticed anything unusual.

Because it was getting cold outside, the two of them huddled together to keep warm and also to have some food.

Chu Lin was a little hungry, so he ate some soaked pet food from the disposable bowl that Yu Ci had brought.

It tastes awful...

Chu Lin pursed his lips: "Do you really think these black, dog-food-like granules are food?"

Yu Ci paused for a moment, then said, "Isn't that right?"

Chu Lin acted like a spoiled young master: "I don't want to eat this. I'll go find something else to eat tomorrow. I want to cook for myself from now on."

Yu Ci: "But we're running for our lives right now... and what's wrong with eating this?"

Chu Lin: "This kind of grain is neither filling nor nutritious. Eating too much will make you want to drink water. It also contains a lot of palatability enhancers and additives."

"I did some research before. Vampire food shops do have some things we can eat, like those super sweet cake bakeries, coffee, and fruit. I'll go look for them tomorrow."

Chu Lin pondered for a moment and said, "Since you don't know what the Blood Moon Sect is either, I think we can change our survival goal. For example, we can try to settle down in a city, get legal status, open a small coffee shop, and then take in some homeless people."

Why take them in?

"As the younger brother, you have no right to question your elder brother's decision."

Yu Ci chuckled and tucked his coat over Chu Lin more tightly, saying, "Okay, Brother Lin."
