Chapter 166
Hearing that, Margaret also grew anxious. Putting Tabby in the yard in such bad weather? Wouldn’t it be the same as when it was still a stray cat?
Elizabeth immediately called the Lewis residence again and purposefully put the phone on the loudspeaker so that Margaret could listen to the conversation.
No one answered the phone for a long time. Just when they thought no one had heard it, someone picked up the call.
Hence, Elizabeth hurriedly said, “Mrs. Lewis asked to check how Tabby was doing. The weather was so bad last night. It must have been frightened. Hurry up and ask someone to check on it. Take good care of Tabby. Make sure that it’s not sick. Cats are weak.”
After a brief moment of silence on the other end of the line, Christopher’s voice could be heard. “Got it.” Immediately afterward, he hung up the phone.
Margaret and Elizabeth exchanged glances because they did not expect Christopher to pick up the phone. Worried, Margaret uttered, “He won’t care about it. You should call Fredrick’s private phone.” |
However, Elizabeth disagreed with her. “Don’t worry. Even if Mr. Lewis doesn’t care about it, he’ll definitely ask Fredrick to do it. Even if he doesn’t give the instructions, there are so many servants in the Lewis residence. I’m sure someone will take care of Tabby for you. Maybe someone had already looked after it when I came out. You can count on them.”
Meanwhile, at the Lewis residence, Christopher was about to head out after taking a shower when he received the call. Although he was reluctant, he still went to the backyard.
He scanned around the surroundings, but Tabby was nowhere to be found, Frowning, he ordered, “Come out.”
Of course, Tabby was not so obedient. He searched patiently for a while but could not find the cat. Anxious, he summoned the bodyguards stationed at the gate and instructed, “Co find the cat!”
