Chapter 855
Catelyn noticed that Cedrick was rather displeased by her actions. After having an instant thought, she held his arm and coaxed, "Look, it's still raining. You wouldn't want it to get hit by a car, right?"
Cedrick was aroused by her intimacy.
Catelyn, noting that his expression grew grim and fearing he would make her dump the puppy, took the lead and ran to the nearby supermarket, bought a blue woven basket, and carefully put the puppy into it.
'There, your car won't get dirty now." She smiled.
Cedrick took the basket with a serious look and wordlessly walked back to his car, all while a giggling Catelyn followed after him at a distance.
"Do you or do you not want to go home?" Cedrick growled without looking back when he saw that Catelyn was no longer by his side.
"I'm coming!" She quickly chased after him and leaned on his arm.
As her coat was soiled when she held the puppy, Cedrick then took off her coat and put his suit on her.
The two of them got into the car soon, and Cedrick drove them to a veterinary hospital.
After the examination, the veterinarian frowned slightly. "Why is the puppy like this? The poor fellow is thin, dirty, and injured!"
The puppy was evidently malnourished.
The female vet, who adored animals, looked at Catelyn and Cedrick with a hint of anger in her eyes.
'We picked it up from the side of the road. A bike knocked it down," Catelyn explained.
Cedrick's expression was extremely cold, which made the female vet a little panicked. She did not dare to speak to Cedrick directly.
'I see. Please wait for a while." The female vet then had a simple surgery on the puppy's right leg.
"The puppy's right leg has a little fracture. I'm sorry for assuming you both did this to the puppy. If it's not convenient for you to adopt it, we can keep and foster it temporarily until its leg fully recovers from that."
Catelyn bit her lower lip.
She wanted to keep it.
She turned her head and blinked her beautiful eyes at Cedrick.
Cedrick could tell her intention just with one look into her eyes, but he curtly replied, "Having two children at home is more than enough to bother me already."
'Miles and Ollie are human; a puppy isn't one. You can't compare it like that. ■
"I don't want you to keep it. Just let Grandpa Albert take care of it. He'll have the maids in the house to make a kennel for him and feed him..."
