Chapter 685 Another Fluffy Animal
At that, Cassidy sighed resignedly. "It would be great if you two came two years earlier when Grandpa was still alive."
"Is there anything we can do to ease Rayna's condition now?" Curtis glanced at Rayna. His expression darkened when he saw the layer of skin sloughed off her neck.
"This is just ecdysis. It's not a big problem. That thing has been hibernating in Belle's body for a prolonged time, causing its toxins to be unable to be discharged naturally. Even if it can release its toxins naturally, Belle's body can't expel them from her system. Hence, the toxins will stay in her body and eventually fuse with her blood."
Curtis immediately probed, "What happens after the fusion?"
"Normally, nothing serious will happen from that since that substance isn't particularly harmful to the human body. However, Belle was poisoned by Arachrede years ago, and there are remains of the toxin in her body. She might lose her life if these two toxins merge." As Cassidy spoke, she took off her white coat and continued, "There's a large patch of ecdysis on Belle's neck. I'm guessing that parasite crawled on her neck before and discharged its toxins there.”
"I've seen it crawling on her neck, but I'm not sure if it did what you said." Curtis said softly, sounding a little choked up.
"For now, Belle's condition will not deteriorate severely as long as she has the emerald bracelet." Cassidy turned around and glanced at Curtis before she walked toward Rayna. Then, she placed her hand on the emerald bracelet Rayna was wearing. After a while, she murmured, “Fortunately, the parasite is sleeping soundly."
Rayna knew Cassidy was referring to the blood parasite and asked, "Is that good or bad news?"
"Of course, it's good news." With that, Cassidy stretched out her arm and flicked Rayna's forehead lightly. If this thing wakes up, it has to deplete all the nutrients in your body to stay alive. At that time, you'll lose your life!
Cassidy sat on the couch across from Rayna after she poured herself a glass of water. "Isabelle, are you sure you don't know how this parasite entered your system?"
Rayna shook her head after mulling it over. "I don't have any memories of it at all."
After she heard that, Cassidy took a deep breath and glanced resignedly at Curtis, who was opposite her.
"Ms. Cassidy." Yasmin's voice sounded from the courtyard. At that, Cassidy turned her gaze to the courtyard and saw Yasmin walking in with a black bag in her hand.
"Ms. Cassidy, someone left this at the entrance." Yasmin placed the bag beside Cassidy. "There's something inside, and it can move."
Cassidy stared at the bag for a long time and was about to reach out to untie it when a squeaking sound suddenly dissuaded her.
"What the hell! What is that?" Cassidy was not afraid of insects but was terrified of fluffy animals. When she heard the sound, she immediately thought it was a rat and leaped onto the couch's armrest out of fear.
On the other hand, Rayna immediately thought of Furry at the hotel when she heard the sound. “Curtis, is it Furry?”
"Furry?" Cassidy's face scrunched up in disgust. Then, she continued, "Is that thing fluffy?"
On the side, Curtis touched the tip of his nose after hearing that and looked at Rayna with a slightly raised eyebrow.
"Right," Rayna answered and proceeded to open the bag. She was instantly greeted by the backend of something fluffy.
"It's not Furry." Rayna was surprised to see a fluffy blue animal. Curtis, who was standing at the side, was puzzled as well.
"Don't touch it. Give it to me." Afraid the animal would hurt Rayna, Curtis took the bag from her. Then, he put his hand inside the bag and took the creature out.
"Wow! It's adorable.” Yasmin couldn't help but want to touch the fuzzy creature in Curtis' arms. In response, it snapped at her.
