**Chapter 484: The Last Patient**
In the softly lit room, Alpha Henry approached Aubrey with a warmth that was palpable. He wrapped his strong arms around her waist, pulling her close, resting his head gently against her shoulder. It was a simple gesture, yet it made the world around them fade into a distant hum. In that moment, the words he had rehearsed in his mind slipped away, lost in the depths of his thoughts.
Some emotions, he mused, could never be articulated fully. They lingered unspoken, hovering in the air like a delicate mist.
Aubrey had endured so much pain in her life that it had woven itself into her very being, leaving her with an unsettling doubt about her worthiness of happiness. She often questioned whether she truly deserved joy, despite the fact that her past should have never inflicted such burdens upon her.
“Aubrey,” he asked, his voice steady yet soft, “do you trust yourself?”
“Of course I do,” she replied, her brow furrowing in confusion at his question. She gently patted his back, trying to convey her sincerity. “I trust myself completely.”
“Then, do you trust me?” he pressed, a hint of vulnerability creeping into his tone.
Aubrey paused, her gaze locking onto his. A moment of silence hung between them before a smile broke across her face. “I naturally trust you. And I believe that if I marry you, you will make me happy.”
In that instant, as their eyes met, Alpha Henry felt a profound understanding wash over him. It was as if he could hear the unspoken words echoing in her heart.
“I’m just not sure that I will be your happiness,” he confessed, a shadow of doubt crossing his features. “I might not be the person you want me to be.”
“Oh, you silly girl,” he said, a spark of determination igniting in his purple eyes. “Tomorrow, after you finish at the hospital, don’t leave.”
Aubrey’s playful nature surfaced as she teased him, “Are you proposing again?”
With a confident nod, he replied, “Absolutely. And if you don’t say yes, I’ll propose ninety-nine more times!”
“Then… why not a hundred times?” she asked, her eyes twinkling with mischief.
“Because I know you wouldn’t be able to stand disappointing me a hundred times,” he said, a smirk dancing on his lips, exuding confidence.
Aubrey felt a flutter of excitement at the thought of tomorrow’s proposal. There was something exhilarating about the anticipation that filled her heart.
The next day, as she moved through her shifts, her mind was elsewhere, lost in thoughts of Alpha Henry and the promise of his proposal. She found it difficult to focus on her patients, so she limited her appointments to just a few follow-ups. As the clock inched closer to the end of her workday, she felt a familiar thrill when Alpha Henry appeared.
Leaning casually against the doorway, he was her last “patient” of the day, exuding an air of confidence that made him look utterly captivating. The smile on his face hinted at a playful secret.
“Doctor, I’m sick,” he said, his voice playful yet laced with sincerity.
His purple eyes sparkled with mischief as he stepped closer, his fingers deftly producing a single rose, which he placed delicately on Aubrey’s cluttered desk, brightening the chaos of medical records surrounding it. The flower was vibrant and striking, a stark contrast to the sterile environment.
“I have a disease that will kill me if I don’t have you,” he declared dramatically.
Before she could respond, he reached across the desk, placing a finger gently on her lips, silencing her. His long eyelashes cast shadows on his cheeks, and from the side, his features appeared even more chiseled, his expression serious yet playful.
“Let me rephrase that,” he continued, his tone shifting. “I have a disease where, if you don’t marry me, I’ll die. And today is the deadline.”
Aubrey blinked, taken aback. “…What do you mean?” she asked, her brow furrowing in confusion.
“It’s a secret,” he replied, his smile fading slightly. “Just wait for me on the rooftop later.”
Before she could gather her thoughts or formulate a response, he turned and left, leaving her with a whirlwind of emotions.
Aubrey held her pen, pondering for a moment before a smile crept back onto her face. Each of his proposals seemed to grow more romantic and imaginative, and she was curious about what he had in store for her today.
After finishing her tasks and preparing to head to the rooftop, Alpha Henry appeared once more. This time, however, he was dressed in a striking black suit, a crisp white shirt, and adorned with black-and-white clown makeup. He stood in her path, a sight unlike anything she had seen in her entire life.
Aubrey was momentarily speechless, her mind racing to comprehend the spectacle before her. Henry’s smile was infectious, showcasing his perfectly white teeth, and even in this whimsical attire, he radiated a charm that was hard to resist.
“Miss, would you care to watch my performance?” he asked, his voice filled with playful enthusiasm.
“Here?” she questioned, glancing around the bustling lobby. Several patients had paused, their eyes glued to the unexpected scene unfolding before them, particularly on Alpha Henry.
He nodded earnestly. “Yes, you are my lucky audience member. I’ve prepared something special, and I know you’ll love it!”
With that, he took a step back and launched into a ventriloquist act, complete with a puppet, right in the middle of the busy lobby.
The crowd around them couldn’t help but stop and watch, laughter bubbling up as Alpha Henry, with the puppet in hand, seamlessly switched between characters, delivering a lively stand-up routine that had everyone in stitches.
His voice shifted from cheerful to deep, and with every animated gesture, he embodied the essence of a clown, delighting the audience. Laughter erupted here and there, but Aubrey found herself unable to join in. Instead, a frown creased her brow.
In her eyes, Alpha Henry was a figure of high stature, someone who should never have to lower himself to such antics for a proposal. It felt like a disservice to his dignity.
Yet, he was far from finished. After the ventriloquism, he transitioned into a series of magic tricks, each one more impressive than the last. It was evident he had dedicated considerable time to perfecting these acts, and his skill left the crowd gasping in astonishment. He didn’t appear to be an amateur at all.
As the performance concluded, the applause echoed around them, and Alpha Henry’s gaze locked onto Aubrey’s. A light sheen of sweat glistened on his forehead, but his eyes sparkled with excitement.
She reached out, tenderly wiping the sweat from his brow, her expression a mixture of admiration and concern. “You shouldn’t have done this,” she murmured, her heart swelling with a complex blend of emotions.
In that moment, as Aubrey looked into Alpha Henry’s eyes, she recognized the depth of his affection and the lengths he was willing to go to prove his love for her. His whimsical performance, though unconventional, was a testament to his desire to make her smile, to bring joy into her life even amidst the chaos of their surroundings. The laughter of the crowd faded into the background, replaced by the silent understanding between them. Aubrey’s heart swelled with a mix of admiration and trepidation; she had spent so long doubting her worthiness of love, yet here was a man who saw her as his world, willing to strip away his own dignity to express that devotion.
As the applause faded and the reality of their lives settled back in, Aubrey felt a shift within herself. The burdens of her past began to lift, replaced by the warmth of Alpha Henry’s unwavering support. She realized that trusting him meant allowing herself to embrace happiness, to accept that she was deserving of the love he offered. In that shared moment of vulnerability and joy, Aubrey found a flicker of hope igniting within her—a hope that perhaps, just perhaps, she could let go of her fears and step into a future filled with love, laughter, and the promise of a life shared together.
