He let the phone ring and continued to wipe away the blood on her hand.

The phone began ringing again.

After some time later, he finally wiped the blood off of Rachel’s fingertips.

He Looked up and checked the caller ID, deciding to pick up the phone last minute.

“Did you find it?”

“I did.

I found it.” After hesitating for a while, Ivan added, “But when I got there, it was too late.

There was heavy rain last night.

The cat must’ve been frightened by all the rain and thunder and it ran right into the road.

The cars passing by didn’t notice it.”

He stopped right there, but the last part of his sentence was pretty self-explanatory.

The road was still wet from last night’s storm.

A snow-white cat could be seen in the middle of the pavement, completely motionless.

The blood under its body had long ago been diluted by the rain.

It was the cat that Victor had ordered to be thrown out.

After a stretch of silence, Victor gave his order.

“Be sure to bury it well.

I want no mention of this at home.

Go out and buy a new cat.

I want the new cat to look exactly like the old one.”

“WiLL do, sir.”

Victor clutched onto Rachel’s hand tightly after he hung up the call.

It was only a cat.

In the past, human life didn’t matter to him, let alone a cat.

But when he found out that the cat was dead, he panicked for no good reason.

As if it was not a cat who died, but him, who was given a death sentence.

In no time at all, the doctor arrived.

“Mr.

Sullivan, what can I help you with?”

“When will she regain consciousness again?” Victor turned to look at the doctor and asked.

Rachel’s hand in his moved as soon as he was done speaking.

Victor’s body froze, and his eyes moved slowly to the woman in the bed.

Rachel felt that she was waking up from a long dream.

Right from being abandoned at the orphanage gate to going through all kinds of things in her life.

Finally, it seemed to be stuck on an image of a pool of blood.

A slight pain woke her up.

Her hand was clenched so tightly that it hurt.

Subconsciously, she looked towards it.

Victor realized this and let go of her hand.

“Miss Bennet, you’re finally awake.” The doctor walked to her bed.
