“Wahhhhhh!”

Over the phone came the baby’s cries, exhausted and hoarse.

“Willa, listen to Dad. Mommy is at work right now, and Daddy has to go on a mission. We can’t stay with you, and both your mom and dad feel very guilty, but there’s a little girl here who is sick. She needs Mommy’s treatment, so Mommy will come back a bit later.”

Talking to a month-old baby like this seemed a bit odd.

Even Flora Jim got a little distracted by this fatherly phone conversation, gazing unconsciously toward Mario Yuno.

“Yiya…” Wendy sobbed softly, already not as violently as she had before.

“We didn’t abandon you, we all just have our own missions. Everyone is born with a mission of their own, and you, Willa, you’re our baby, you too have a mission.”

Had anyone else heard what Mario Yuno said, they would have found it hardly credible, talking about such things with a baby, how could she understand?

But miraculously, as soon as he finished speaking, Wendy stopped crying and even called out ‘Daddy’ with her milky voice.

“Good girl.”

Mario Yuno hung up and said to Arlong,

“Everything is about rights and obligations. If you enjoy the rights, you must fulfill the obligations. Even your little niece, just a few months old, understands this. If a baby can do it, both of you can too. No matter the outcome for the little girl being rescued inside, she would want her relatives to keep living well.”

Flora Jim looked at Mario Yuno, understanding that this iron-blooded man was encouraging her to be strong.

She hadn’t said anything, but these people noticed that she had lost the will to live.

Mario Yuno then said to Arlong, “I’m giving you half a day off. Rejoin the unit before dark.”

“Yes, sir!” Arlong stood at attention and watched Mario Yuno leave.

Inside, the treatment was still ongoing; outside, only Arlong and Flora Jim were left.

“Shella, don’t overthink it. My sister is the best psychologist, and her godfather is a world-renowned authority. Although I don’t really get what an authority is supposed to do, he is impressive, hard for others to get hold of. With him here, Yayaka will definitely recover,” Arlong reassured Flora Jim.

“It’s all my fault…” Flora Jim was full of self-blame.

If she had left that mire earlier, how could her little sister have encountered such an ordeal?

“No, it’s not your fault; it’s just life hasn’t treated you well.”

“Arlong…” Flora Jim covered her mouth. “I’m sorry, I lied to you, and yet you still treat me like this…”

“Don’t talk about that now. Don’t think about anything. Let’s just wait quietly for my sister. You have to believe in her, and believe that… whatever happens, I’ll be here to back you up.”

Hearing Arlong say this, Flora Jim’s tears surged even more.

Had none of this happened, she would have been so moved by Arlong’s words, but now that he knew about her shameful past and was still there to protect her quietly, it was truly remarkable.

What moved Flora Jim even more was that Kiara was doing everything she could to save her sister. All she could do now was pray for Yayaka’s safety. If she could pull through this, Flora Jim was willing to spend the rest of her life making amends for her mistakes.

Time flew by swiftly, and after nearly three hours of effort, Kiara and Norris Flowery Fox finally came out of the room. The door opened.

“The patient is safe for now, stabilized, but she needs to stay here for a few days. My uncle will handle the follow-up,” Norris Flowery Fox announced.

Though the younger generation might individually be top doctors, compared to Yuzo Joel, there was still a huge gap. Norris Flowery Fox had done his best to stabilize the situation.

Eagerly, Arlong led Flora Jim inside. Yena Jim lay on the hospital bed with an IV in her arm, while Kiara sat in a chair with her own IV.

“What happened to my sister?!”

“Oh, she fainted from exhaustion after saving someone–tired out. I gave her some nutrients,” Norris Flowery Fox explained.

Kiara was experiencing this level of mental exhaustion for the first time; she was worn out due to the transfer conflict caused by Arlong’s situation the night before, coupled with lack of sleep, her energy lagging behind, and she hadn’t eaten lunch. She collapsed from exhaustion after the treatment.

This scene moved Flora Jim immensely. Kiara had sacrificed so much to save her sister, a debt of gratitude she could never repay in this lifetime.

Yena Jim had been sleeping the whole time, and after a while, Kiara woke up. Noticing the needle in her hand, she immediately reached out to pull it out without thinking.

“What are you doing to me with this thing? I still have to breastfeed!”

A mother always thinks not of herself, but of her child.

Norris Flowery Fox smiled slightly, “It’s alright. This is a nutritional medicine concocted by the third brother. It’s also safe for babies, and the amount that ends up in the breastmilk is negligible. If you don’t believe me, you can ask the master when he returns.”

“Is that so? Thank you,” said Kiara, as she got to her feet and moved around, noticing her strength had indeed improved a lot.

“How is she doing?” Kiara approached the bed to check on Yena Jim.

“She’s stabilized now. What happens next depends on the master. I’ve done what I promised you, now about what you promised me–”

The two had made a pact earlier, and now that the patient had been treated, Norris Flowery Fox naturally wanted to know the solution to the riddle Kiara had left for him.

“That, uh…”

Kiara thought to herself that it was all just a stalling tactic to bamboozle him, that she hadn’t really thought it through when she made those decisions.

To put it bluntly, emotion had trumped reason, as simple as that.

But she knew Norris Flowery Fox wouldn’t be satisfied with that answer. Looking at the time, she realized Dad would still be a while before returning.

What if she told him, “Heh, you’ve been fooled!”? Would the Fox Cat fly into a rage and lash out with his claws?

Apart from curiosity, what else is a cat known for? Oh, right!

“How about I tell you in detail when you come to my house in the future?”

“Oh? Are you planning on reneging on your promise?”

“Not at all, just not now. As interest, how about I tell you about something even more delicious than Irresistible Crisp?”

After all, there’s no such thing as a cat that isn’t greedy for food.

Meow? There’s such a thing?

Norris Flowery Fox was on the verge of asking what it was, but he stopped himself, thinking that he couldn’t let her see what he was thinking.

“Not interested.”

“Alright then.”

“Actually, it wouldn’t hurt to just tell me. I’ll just listen casually, and you can just say whatever.”

“In Q City, my hometown has a neighborhood called Jersey. There’s a place that sells cream puffs that are incredibly delicious. You won’t believe it until you try, and if you find them tasty, consider that as the interest on my delayed payment.”

Curiosity + gourmet food, they say that’s the way to capture a cat.

“Who would want to eat such low-grade, cheap junk food of dubious origin…”

Norris Flowery Fox spoke as if it didn’t matter to him, but Kiara noticed his wrist twitch, the wooden beads there moving slightly.

“Does your habit of fiddling with your beads when your words don’t match your thoughts count as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?”

Meow?! She knows about this?!

Norris Flowery Fox caught Kiara’s gaze and she burst into laughter, a reminder of their past life.

That one laugh caught Norris Flowery Fox a bit off guard–why did he feel that the Junior Leader laughing looked somewhat more pleasant than Woodhead?

Of course, it was just a tad more pleasant, just a tad!
