Nelson frantically brought Juniper back to his house and had a doctor come over to check on her.
This time, he learned his lesson and had someone bring Moonlight over as well.
Moonlight was pretty brave. Even though she was brought to a strange environment, she sniffed around and even got into a fight with Josie's cat.
Josie had been staying at Nelson's place these past few days. With Lydia banned from visiting, Josie silently held her cat every day, refused to go to school, and spent her time staring into space when she wasn't eating or sleeping. She wouldn't speak a single word to anyone, only occasionally opening her mouth when talking to Nelson. It seemed her previous drowning incident had truly traumatized her.
Now, her cat and Moonlight were fighting, sending fur flying everywhere. She quickly stepped in to stop them, petting her cat's back.
Moonlight probably knew she had her owner backing her up. She spat out the cat hair in her mouth, wagged her tail a few times, and lay down nearby.
Josie hugged her cat, Leo, and stared at Moonlight. Before long, she felt sleepy and dozed off on the sofa.
When Juniper woke up, she heard Nelson asking the doctor, "Why hasn't the fever broken yet?"
"Mr. Saint, Ms. Lane needs plenty of rest. It might be due to excessive mental strain lately."
Nelson instantly went quiet. To Juniper, too much had happened in such a short period, and now she had been hunted down. If she hadn't been smart, who knew if she would have escaped this time.
Nelson felt a fire burning in his chest. He took a deep breath but ultimately just rubbed his temples. "Got it. Prescribe some more medicine."
The doctor thought for a moment and added, "You must pay close attention to the patient's mental state. Ms. Lane's fingers were constantly twitching in her sleep. She definitely has some psychological issues. It would be best to get a psychologist to talk with her."
Psychological issues?
