Seeing a stray cat occupying the best spot in Cecilia Vaughn’s arms and rubbing against the girl’s chest, Adrian Law’s eyes darkened!

"Cecilia, this cat is wild and unruly. It bit me earlier and might bite you too. Giving it away is the most reasonable choice."

The cat is getting better treatment than him; he’s never cuddled with Cecilia Vaughn like that!

Unbelievable!

The white kitten clearly sensed Adrian Law’s violent mood and seemed frightened, snuggling deeper into Cecilia Vaughn’s embrace.

The girl glanced at Adrian Law with displeasure, lovingly stroking the kitten’s head.

"Don’t exaggerate like that. All stray cats are like this; after a few days, they’ll be affectionate."

"..."

The kitten indeed pitifully blinked at Cecilia Vaughn, although still dirty, those beautiful odd-colored eyes made it irresistible.

One blue and one green eye blinked, making Cecilia Vaughn’s heart melt.

"Good kitty, sister won’t let you go homeless in the rain."

The white kitten seemed to understand, mewing softly twice in response.

Adrian Law wasn’t pleased seeing the cat taking advantage of Cecilia Vaughn; his long lashes deepened, and his dark eyes stared at the white kitten like an enemy.

"Cecilia, you have to choose one: me or the cat."

"..."

Geez, is it necessary to make such a big deal out of it?

It’s just keeping a pet!

The white kitten might have sensed a crisis and immediately puffed up its fur, pretending to be fierce as it hissed at Adrian Law several times.

Cecilia Vaughn, seeing the standoff between the person and cat, felt a headache and awkwardly pointed at the injury on Adrian Law’s hand.

"Adrian, your hand is bleeding. How about getting it bandaged first? It’s best to get a vaccine; you might catch some germs."

"I’ll first give the kitty a bath, and later call Zion Prescott to ask how to deal with a cat with a limping right leg..."

Adrian Law’s eyes narrowed slightly, and he gave a cold glance at the spoiled little white cat.

"Cecilia, Zion is a surgeon and a Chinese medicine practitioner, not a vet."

"..."

What’s with this hostile tone?

If the white kitten weren’t just a cat, she’d suspect Adrian Law was jealous!

Cecilia Vaughn suddenly felt confused, why was Adrian Law, normally so mature and sensible, acting so childish now!

"Uh, then I’ll call Mona Summers. Mona keeps dogs, she might know a veterinarian."

...

Adrian Law felt displeasure seeing Cecilia Vaughn determined to keep the little thing at home; it was driving him crazy.

"Cecilia, I’m injured. Why aren’t you calling a doctor for me?"

"..."

Adrian · Three-year-old · Law coldly looked at the white kitten, clearly ready to seriously compete with it.

Cecilia Vaughn awkwardly glanced at the scratch on Adrian Law’s hand.

"Calling a vet would treat the scratch just fine, dual-purpose, oh, Adrian, you’re the best, you won’t mind a little pet."

What if he really did mind?

Adrian Law’s expression was cold, but facing Cecilia Vaughn’s bright eyes, he finally surrendered.

He glanced unhappily at the white kitten, his voice icy.

"Alright, now call the vet. If you want to try raising it, go ahead, but if it makes a mess in the house, it has to go."

"Alright, alright, I promise Mimi will be super good!"

Knowing Adrian Law’s cleanliness obsession, this was already the biggest compromise, Cecilia Vaughn sighed in relief, quickly accepted the good outcome, and beamed at the man.

Mimi was the name she gave to the white kitten, its mewing was just too cute, making one’s heart unable to handle it.

Uh, although Adrian Law seemed unable to feel Mimi’s cuteness.

...

Adrian Law went upstairs to find the medicine box for his scratch, while Cecilia Vaughn thought about it and first called her friend Mona Summers.

"Mona, do you know any vets who can make house calls at this hour?"

Mona was startled by the inquiry.

"Cecilia, when did you start keeping pets?"

"Just today. Took in a white kitten, its right leg is broken, it’s quite pitiful."

...

After the two had a conversation, Cecilia Vaughn followed her friend’s suggestion and dialed the veterinarian’s number.

Given the strong wind and rain today, and it being late, she voluntarily offered double the usual fee, and although the vet hesitated, Cecilia still sent the payment first.

Because Cecilia was so straightforward with payment, despite the heavy rain, the vet swiftly arrived, bringing equipment for a comprehensive check on the kitten and medication for Adrian Law’s scratch.

After the examination, the vet smiled at Cecilia Vaughn and spoke.

"Miss Vaughn, this kind of odd-eyed Linqing lion cat is quite rare, and it’s pure white too. When it gains weight, its fur will grow long, and it will surely be especially adorable."

Cecilia Vaughn wasn’t concerned about the kitten’s breed or appearance; she immediately asked anxiously.

"Doctor, does Mimi have any health issues? Especially its leg, can it be healed?"

The vet noticed Cecilia Vaughn genuinely cared about the kitten’s life, which heightened his goodwill towards her, so he smiled reassuringly.

"Don’t worry, this lion cat is just underfed and looks skin and bones, but for its right leg, regularly changing the bandage will do, it’ll get better. For now, you should wash it."

Cecilia Vaughn finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you, doctor, for your hard work today."

"No problem, it’s just my duty."

...

The vet left a manual for cat care, finished checking and deworming Mimi, and then left, while Cecilia Vaughn held the white kitten and gave Mimi a bath.

Ordinarily, pets are afraid of water, but Mimi was obediently allowing Cecilia Vaughn to rinse it with the showerhead, seemingly trusting and relying on Cecilia Vaughn, even licking her fingers.

The girl was charmed to the core, realizing that, after its bath, Mimi was indeed even more endearing, entirely pure white, just too skinny; once nourished, it would surely be prettier.

Cradling the blow-dried Mimi, since there wasn’t a temporary cat bed, Cecilia Vaughn placed it on the sofa with a little blanket beside it.

"Mimi, would you be okay sleeping here tonight?"

The white kitten gazed at Cecilia Vaughn, seemingly puzzled, perhaps not quite understanding her words.

...

Cecilia Vaughn put Mimi down and returned to the bedroom, seeing Adrian Law’s sullen face, she quickly kissed the side of his cheek.

"There, no need to be upset with a kitten, here’s a goodnight kiss, does that cheer you up?"

Looking at the girl’s blossoming smile, the man’s anger finally dissipated a little.

Adrian Law wrapped his arm around Cecilia Vaughn’s shoulder, intending to be affectionate, but unexpectedly, a furry little thing suddenly jumped onto the bed.

And it directly nestled into Cecilia Vaughn’s arms!

Cecilia Vaughn: "..."

Adrian Law: "..."
