Free Web NovelChapter 275: Chapter 275: Sudden Surge of Killing Intent
How could this happen?
This can’t be real, right?
Mimi’s tongue...the tongue...
Cecilia Vaughn’s mind went blank. If not for her reason forcibly supporting her, she wouldn’t even have the strength to hold Mimi.
Her face was as pale as a ghost, devoid of color. She seemed soulless, yet still staggered while holding Mimi, who’s breathing more than receiving air, trying her best to protect it carefully in her arms.
"Mimi, be good, don’t be afraid... It will be treated, Mimi don’t be scared, sister is here..."
Cecilia choked for a moment, forced herself to hold up the big black umbrella, and walked towards the mountain road, trying to meet up with Adrian Law and the others quickly, to find a doctor.
Nothing was more important than Mimi getting better.
The Law Residence has doctors, although not specialized veterinarians, it’s critical to stop Mimi’s bleeding first; the current state is so bad that if they went to a large pet hospital, there might not be enough time.
Cecilia’s body tensed up, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes. No matter which inhumane beast ruined Mimi’s tongue, she would make them pay the price!
Mimi’s body can be slowly nursed back to health. No matter how much it costs, no matter how top-tier the doctors she has to hire, she will bring back that adorable little buddy.
...
Cecilia stumbled forward, her long eyelashes matted with rain and tears, and her face covered in mud, looking quite distressed.
Just then, Cecilia heard the sound of hurried footsteps, followed by two beams of strong flashlight passing by.
"Cecilia! Are you there?"
A man’s anxious call spread out in the cold winter night.
Cecilia carefully held Mimi tight, clutching the big black umbrella, she shouted back loudly!
"Adrian, I’m here! I found Mimi!"
In an instant, two tall figures appeared in her view, Adrian Law and Wyatt Law, and they were no better off than her, both drenched and looking bedraggled.
Adrian looked at the girl covered in mud and even noticed her lips were turning colorless from the cold. He immediately took two steps forward and supported her by the shoulders.
"Cecilia! Are you okay? How is Mimi?"
He could see that Cecilia’s body was almost at its limit, and if he didn’t hold her, she might fall at any moment.
In this terrible weather, spending hours outside is hard even for well-trained men. Both he and Wyatt were exceptionally fit, yet Cecilia managing to hold on this long was miraculous.
Cecilia’s eyes burned.
"I’m fine, but Mimi’s tongue... is gone..."
The last part of her sentence was spoken very softly, and tears began to spill from her eyes again, her uncontrollable sorrow surging like a flood inside her heart.
Tongue... gone...
Adrian’s heart clenched. He gazed deeply at Mimi, who lay dying in the girl’s arms, even losing the strength to lift its eyelids to see its owner.
The man’s handsome brows furrowed tightly, his eyes briefly showed an intent to kill, feeling the cat in the girl’s hands still trembling, he immediately took it over.
"Cecilia, don’t worry, let’s head back first, Mimi will be fine."
Cecilia knew Adrian was comforting her, and at this moment, neither of them felt the joy of finding Mimi, only overwhelming hatred and regret.
If they had watched over Mimi personally, or simply left it at Starfall Bay with enough food and water, the clever Mimi would never have ended up like this.
...
"Alright, let’s go home."
Mimi’s body couldn’t be delayed, and Cecilia didn’t have any extra time to explain further, quickly picked up the umbrella and walked forward. But with the heavy rain and steep mountain road, her body, which had been out in the cold all night, trembled unstably.
Seeing Cecilia’s staggered and frail figure, Adrian quickly reached out to hold her.
"Hold my hand, the road is slippery, don’t fall."
"Okay."
Cecilia lowered her head slightly, daring not to tell Adrian she had already fallen once, her whole body was aching, felt like her neck was scratched too, but that pain was nothing compared to Mimi’s pain.
The girl remained silent, the light in her eyes slowly swallowed by darkness.
...
Once they reached the main road, the two quickly got into the off-road hummer that came to meet them.
Thinking about Mimi’s injury, Cecilia felt like a fire was burning inside her, wishing she could sprout wings and fly.
"Wyatt, can you drive faster?"
"Young Madam, we’ll be at The Law Residence in five minutes, rest assured."
Wyatt comforted Cecilia while silently speeding up. The mountain road in the rainy night was like being shrouded in ghosts, filled with hidden dangers. Cecilia knew her concern was clouding her judgment and therefore stayed silent.
Adrian sat beside her, with the cabin light on, although the light wasn’t bright, it was enough for Adrian to clearly see the bloody scratches on Cecilia’s neck.
Looking lower, Cecilia’s exposed arm was covered in wounds, not to mention her feet that walked through the thickets.
These injuries were all incurred while searching for Mimi.
The man’s emotions were extremely complicated, he gazed quietly at Cecilia’s silent eyes but didn’t say a word.
At such a time, everyone felt uneasy, especially Cecilia.
...
Wyatt did as he promised, and in little over four minutes, the three of them returned to the entrance of The Law Residence. freewebnσvel.cѳm
It was almost 9 p.m. now, yet the house was still brightly lit.
The veterinarian, instructed beforehand, was waiting in the treatment room with professional equipment.
Cecilia was the first to jump off the car, and Adrian followed with Mimi in his arms.
They had just stepped into the courtyard and saw Rosalind White, Fiona Vaughn, and Tyson Law, who were all waiting for them in the hall.
Fiona stood under the eaves, feigning concern as she covered her lips slightly.
"Oh, sister, you’re back? You found the cat?"
Anyone could see Mimi’s current state was dire, lying limply in Adrian’s arms, looking weak and pathetic, it seemed lifeless.
Rosalind glanced at Mimi, a flash of surprise quickly disappeared from her eyes. She didn’t expect the little thing to be found, but she wasn’t afraid and even worriedly stepped forward.
"Adrian, is Mimi okay?" freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Hearing Rosalind’s voice, Mimi, who was on the brink of death, suddenly seemed to sense a great danger and weakly raised its head, trying to hide further into Adrian’s arms.
"What do you think?"
Adrian shot a cold glance at Rosalind, the oppressive aura he emitted was almost enough to make one want to kneel in submission.
Facing that volatile rage in the man’s eyes, Rosalind’s heart skipped a beat. She was about to speak when the veterinarian quickly came over.
"Young Master, leave the cat to us!"
