This question of his really stumped Kevan. Thinking it through carefully, Kevan sald uncertainly. “I don’t think so? seen her acl cut when I was with her.”

“You’re saying · she was looking for a cal?”

“Yeah.” Dylan nodded. “She doesn’t seem to like that cat. Just kept yelling as she tried looking for it.

She sounded near hysterical Im telling you, just like she has bipolar disorder or something.”

The moment Cyan finished speaking, Kevan was already out of the car.

“Hry Where are you going?” Oylan also unlastered his seat belt and hurried down alter him too.

Kevan had returned to Ruby’s place, and she had found the kitten. When Kevan went inside, she saw her strangling Multir’s reck with one hand, a twisted, hideous smile on her lace. Mullin was meowing in agony: her voice was so pitiful even as her four limbs failed in the air.

Kevan’s breathing stopped for a second, and his heart nearly forgot to beat. He nearly rushed over and saved Muffin, but rationality st won over recklessness, Backing all the way up to the entrance hall he pretended to have come in again and called, “Ruby?”

Ruby froze and quickly hugged the kitten to her, pulling away her hideous expression before turning around slowly.

“Kevan?” Her surprise was not faked. I thought you went back to the company? Why did you come back?”

The moment he said that Ruby’s face turned pale. She watched Dylan nervously, worried that he might say something that made her look bad. Dylan, on the other hand, did not “disapport” her, “Ms. Cole said that she was tired and wanted to rest. so she had me leave first, I saw that she had no intention of continuing the conversation, so I did not find it appropriate to slay.”

Kevan had not yet spoken when Ruby hurriedly explained, “I’m really tired. This cute here- She showed them Muffin, “Gave me trouble for the whole right yesterday, so much so that I didn’t sleep well. Then it hid in the morning and made me find it for a good while. Look, I Just managed to catch it.”

Mullin did not collaborate with her lie. Her eyes were wide with lear, and when she saw Kevan, it was like she had seen her sawlor, meowing frantically as she tried to jump over to him.
