His Precious Love

Chapter 679

Furry lay by the half-opened window, staring at Rayna non-stop instead of entering the room.

Curtis was waiting for Furry to come in, but when he saw that the creature showed no intention of doing so, he decided to close the window. However, just as he was about to, Rayna asked, "Did it come in?"

"No, it doesn't want to." Upon seeing Rayna about to walk over, Curtis stepped forward to hold her. "The window's open, and it's outside."

Hearing him, Rayna walked to the window and stuck her hand through the gap, fumbling around.

Curtis felt his heart leap to his throat at the sight. "What if it hurts you?" he asked in an attempt to stop her.

"It didn't before, so it won't now." The woman shook her head. "But why is it following us?"

Curtis' eyes landed on the faint red dot under Rayna's emerald bracelet.

"Come in," Rayna muttered while touching Furry. "It's raining outside. You'll get sick."

At last, Furry made a noise and rose to its feet from its lying position. Then, it walked through the gap in the window to rub itself against Rayna's wrist.

"It really does feel like a cat," Rayna commented as she used this opportunity to rub Furry's fur to get the feel of it. "Its fur is a bit coarse. Should we bathe it?"

When Curtis heard her, his eyes landed on Furry, and he raised his eyebrows upon noticing the somewhat glossy fur.

"Is there a pet shop here?" Rayna asked as she stretched out her hands to carry Furry into her arms, caressing it from time to time.

With no hesitation, the man answered, "No."

Even if there was, there's no way I'd bring that weird creature to the pet shop.

"Don't carry it," he stated upon seeing Rayna carrying Furry as if it were a cat or a dog. "What if it has parasites?"

"Parasites..." Rayna froze as she heard the words before a hint of a smile appeared on her lips. "What's there to be afraid of when I literally have one in my wrist?"

Seeing that she did not take it seriously, Curtis did not retort as he grabbed his phone and made a call to Robin.

"Check if there's any nearby pet shop here."

After saying that, he ended the call and turned around to see Rayna on the couch, still holding Furry in her arms. A huge part of her pajama was already wet, obviously from Furry's wet fur.

Advancing forward, Curtis tried to take Furry from Rayna's hands. However, as soon as he reached out, Furry's hair stood on end as it made warning sounds at the man.

"You can't just keep carrying it, Rayna," Curtis advised in a deep voice.

"But I think it's really clingy." Despite what she said, she heeded Curtis' words as she placed Furry on the couch, only for it to step onto her thighs as soon as it landed on the couch.

"What are we going to do? It seems... we can't get rid of it." Rayna helplessly looked in Curtis' direction. "Has Robin found a pet shot yet?"

Looking at his phone, Curtis saw no new notifications. When he was about to call Robin, a knock sounded on their door.

Getting to his feet, Curtis went to open the door to see Robin and a young girl outside.

"There are no pet shops here, Mr. Faymon. I met this girl in the lobby just now. She said she specializes in bathing and treating small animals," informed Robin, visibly troubled.

"Take her to the room next door," Curtis instructed before shutting the door.

"Was that Robin?" Rayna queried upon hearing the sound of the door closing.

"Yeah, he found someone who can bathe that thing. Let's take it next door." Curtis reached out to take a coat and put it on himself before doing the same to Rayna.

"Okay," Rayna replied while picking Furry up. With that, the two of them went to the room next door. The young girl was already waiting in the bathroom. Upon seeing Furry in Rayna's arms, she froze for a while before putting on a smile and stretching out her hands to take Furry.

"Be careful. Don't hurt it." Rayna slowly released Furry as the young girl took it by the back of its neck. "Don't worry. I'll take care of it."

With that said, she closed the bathroom door.

Feeling the emptiness in her arms, Rayna felt somewhat uneasy. "Will it be okay?"

"Don't worry too much. She'll be better than us in this since her job is to deal with animals," Curtis responded before pulling Rayna back into their room, leaving Robin watching by the bathroom door.

Upon reaching their room, Curtis led Rayna to the bathroom and washed her spotlessly.

When they were done, Curtis skillfully helped blow dry Rayna's hair as they sat on the couch.

Meanwhile, in the next room, the bathroom door opened half an hour later, prompting Robin to open his eyes and look toward the door. His eyebrows raised when he spotted the young girl carrying Furry, who had its head slumped. "What happened?"

Plastering a beautiful smile, the young girl around the age of eighteen or nineteen replied, "Nothing. I just bathed it. This one is bicolor, so it doesn't look like it did when you first saw it."

She then handed Furry to Robin. "Here. You can pay me now."

Robin looked at the young girl's oval-shaped face before his eyes darted toward her open palm, which had a few scratch marks on it. "You're injured."

"No big deal. It's normal. I always get scratches when I bathe cats and dogs." The young girl pulled her sleeve down to cover the scratch marks before looking around the suite. "Is the handsome man from earlier your boss?"

"Yes," Robin answered with a nod. While carrying Furry, he fished his wallet out of his pocket and pulled out five pieces of bank notes. When his eyes landed on the young girl's injured hand, he pulled out a few more before handing it to her. "Here."

Taking the money, the young girl was stunned when she was done counting it. "I don't need this much. Just one piece is enough."

She then returned the extra cash to Robin, but the latter refused, "You're hurt. Treat the rest of it as medical fees."

After saying that, Robin turned around and left the room with Furry, leaving the young girl alone in the suite. In a daze, she was still staring at the money in her hand. "I only gave it a bath, though. This is a lot o money."

As her words fell, a hint of a pleased smile tugged on her lips as she adjusted her clothes before stepping out of the room.

When Robin arrived in Rayna and Curtis' room, Curtis was done blow-drying Rayna's hair and was putting the hairdryer away. Upon spotting the furry creature in Robin's arms, Curtis was confused for a while.

Aware that Curtis could not recognize the furry creature, which was initially all black, Robin stammered, "I-It's bicolor, and it has ears."

Robin rubbed Furry's ears, which were drooping by both sides of its head. "Its head is small. Maybe its ears were stuck to its head earlier because it was too dirty. That's why we couldn't make out the ears."
