Chapter 300
She soon heard Josie’s scream from the other end of the phone. Go away. Don’t touch my cat…” Then, the call ended.
Athena immediately called Josie’s teacher. As she started the car, she asked, “I’m Josie’s sister. I received a call from Josie. Josie cried and asked me to save her. What happened to her? Is she injured?”
The teacher sounded like she was in a terrible fix. “Don’t worry, Josie is fine. She had a little conflict with other kids while playing together. The children quarreled and exaggerated the situation…”.
Athena interrupted her. “Is Josie injured?”
The teacher hurriedly said, “Definitely not, you don’t have to worry.”
“I’m on my way to pick up Josie.” Athena stepped on the accelerator. “I’m asking the school to guarantee Josie’s safety. Otherwise, I’ll call the police and the media to intervene.”
The teacher’s voice became nervous. “Don’t worry, the children will definitely not be injured.”
Athena said, “I’ll be there in a few minutes. I hope the school keeps its word.” She hung up the phone and quickly drove out of the neighborhood.
The phone’s location showed that “Marshmallow” was in a small park near the kindergarten, not far from the community. With her outstanding driving skills, Athena reached the small park within 4 minutes.
Before she stopped the car, she saw a large group of children in orange school uniforms gathered in the red maple forest. The children seemed to be arguing and fighting. Several teachers were sandwiched in the middle, trying to separate them.
Athena parked the car by the roadside and walked over quickly.
Because the children were all dressed the same and squeezed together, she couldn’t find Josie at a glance, so she clicked on her phone.
Immediately, a loud, vigorous, and far-reaching roar sounded from somewhere in the crowd. “I am here.”
It was a location signal sent by “Marshmallow” after receiving Athena’s instructions.
This roar instantly suppressed the children’s voices.
The children were shocked by this voice. They shut their mouths one after another and blinked their eyes in confusion and cuteness. They looked left and right, their faces filled with question marks.
Following the tiger’s roar, Athena saw Josie at a glance.
Josie had climbed onto a big tree and sat astride it. She was holding a little cat in her arms. Her face and body were covered in dust and grass. Her hair, which had grown a little longer after much difficulty, was also in a mess. Clearly, she had just experienced a huge battle.
Under the tree, a little girl with beautiful braids and shiny hair accessories was jumping around while pointing at Josie and screaming, “If you don’t hand that little beast over to me, I won’t let you off.”
Athena remembered this little girl.
She was Lola Pittman, a spoiled rich young lady who came to school on the first day in a long Mercedes-Benz. Athena ignored her and walked under the tree. “Josie, I’m here. Come down. I’ll protect you.”

Chapter 300.
When Josie saw Athena, she pointed excitedly at Lola under the tree and shouted, “Athena, Lola is too evil! She bullied the little cat and even wanted to throw it into the water to drown it. I can’t go down. If I go down, the little cat will be killed.”
The little cat in her arms seemed to understand human language. It shrank into a small ball and let out a low and weak meow.

“You’re the bad one! You’re the worst!” Lola was also screaming. “This wild cat attacked me. My hand is bleeding! It may have rabies. The only way to protect other kids from it is to kill it.”
“You are lying.” Josie snapped a tree branch and smashed it on Lola. He said angrily, “Kitty is very healthy. She’s not sick! You tried to catch the kitten; pull its ears, pluck its fur, and throw it into the water. That’s why it attacked you. You deserve it. Bad girl!”
The teacher advised from the side, “Lola, you need an injection immediately. Can we go get an injection now?”
“I don’t want to!” Lola screamed. “I’m a little princess. Even the adults in my family would never scold and hit me. Why can an animal and Josie bully me? I must kill this wild cat. If I don’t kill it, I won’t get an injection! If I die, the teachers will go to jail and the kindergarten will close!”
The teacher looked up helplessly and said to Josie in an accusatory tone, “Josie, I’ll say it again. This cat is a wild cat. It can attack people. It might have rabies and there are many bacteria on its body…”
“This cat is very healthy. It doesn’t have rabies.” Athena interrupted the teacher. “I’m a doctor. I can be responsible for my judgment.” She opened her arms and said to Josie, “Let go and let the little cat fall. I’ll catch it.”
Josie looked at the kitten in her arms and then at the height of the tree. She was a little hesitant.
Athena smiled. “Josie, don’t worry. I’m an expert. I promise I’ll catch it.”
Josie smiled and said softly, “Yes, Athena is the best. I’m going to let the cat down.”
She stroked the cat’s head, wrapped her arms around its waist, adjusted her position, and let go.
Athena stared at the little cat’s figure and quickly grabbed it. She held it firmly in her arms and said to the teacher, “I’ll take/ the kitten and Josie to the pet hospital. Please take Lola to get an injection. We’ll discuss how to deal with this matter later.”
“No!” Lola stomped his feet and pointed at the little cat in Athena’s arms. “I want to drown it now! I won’t leave until it’s dead…”
Athena looked down at her. “Whether you leave or not has nothing to do with us! If we want to leave, can you stop us?”
While she was speaking, Josie had already nimbly climbed down from the tree. She leaned against her and grabbed the corner of her clothes tightly.
Lola did not expect Athena’s attitude to be so tough. She cried out loud and sat on the ground. She kicked her legs and wiped her eyes with her hands. As she cried, she cried, “Boohoo, Josie and her sister bullied me. Mom. Mom, where are you? Come and save me.”
Athena could not be bothered with her and left with Josie and the kitten.
She had only taken a few steps when she saw a long Mercedes-Benz speeding over and stopping by the roadside.
The car door opened. An elegantly dressed and beautiful woman with an outstanding temperament rushed out of the car in a panic. As she ran, she shouted, “Lola, how are you? I will take you to the hospital now…”
