Taming the Bitch (COMPLETED) Wattys2018

Chapter XLVIII - CLOVER WISH

Gabrielle places the stethoscope on top of the little girl's chest as she commands her to breathe hard while listening to the drumming of her heart.

The little girl sniffs as she looks at the doctor in front of her. Gabrielle looks at the angelic face of the little girl before she frowns and pouts at her, making her look away in embarrassment when the doctor catches her staring at her face guiltily.

Again, the girl sobs as she wipes her cheeks with her mud-stained hands.

"Tsk..." Gabrielle tsks at her making her sob and pout, ready to cry again. Using her tears to tame the now upset doctor.

"Don't cry on me young woman..." she whispers taking the stethoscope off of her chest and detaching its earpiece off of her own ears.

Shaking her head at the little girl, Gabrielle could only try not to smile at how cute she is when she's trying not to cry in front of her like this.

"Your mom will have a hard time washing your dress young woman..." she puts her hand on her waist as she stomps on her feet while shaking her head at the toddler.

"Didn't your mommy tell you not to play on the hill? Look at yourself now..." she tsks again making the girl who is almost two years old now sniffs and wipes her cheeks again, spreading more mud on her very cute little face.

Gabrielle couldn't deny how beautiful the naughty little girl is despite the mud on her face. She has very round doll-like eyes with long thick eyelashes. Her small pointed nose is so cute she couldn't help but pinch its tip in between her fore and middle finger.

"Now, young lady, how will you explain to your mother how you got these scratches on your knees, huh?" She narrows her eyes at the mud covered little tyrant sitting on top of the hospital bed in her humble clinic. They are in her private island somewhere in France and she decided to put up a small clinic here for her people. The only way out from this place is through her private jet and yacht. It would take them hours just to get to the nearest hospital which is in the next island. So she decided to put up her clinic right after she retained her license as a doctor.

"I was just tatching (catching) butterflies... i di-int want to dow (go) to duh (the) hiy (hill). The butterflies toot (took) me there."

"Ah-huh...?! The butterflies took you there yeah?" She crosses her arms in front of the child who at the young age, Gabby must admit could reason out so well already. She nods reassuringly at her.

There has been so many times already that she is treating small wounds for this sneaky little tyrant. She's a sneaky little fox, she would always sneak out of her play room, hiding herself from her nanny just to play in the yard. The hill, she was referring to was just at the back of the chateaux. It might be a safe place and this little girl knows all on how to take care of herself at her young age.

Her mom always took her to walk there but because of the frequent rains these days, the hill became slippery and this girl's mom has strictly told her not to run through the hill and play without her or the nanny.

But given how clever and tyrant Veronica is, Gabrielle could only shake her head at the girl. She would always sneak out of her play room, one second and she's out of her mother's eyesight already---One moment and she's already covered in mud "catching butterflies" like now.

"Young lady... what if you rolled down the hill and hit not just your elbow but your head on a rock. What if you can't remember you mommy again and what if she loses you? Do you like seeing your mommy crying?"

Veronica begins crying at that. She doesn't like upsetting her mother but she also couldn't help chasing butterflies! Why can't her mommy just play with her all day?!
