Chapter 128 - Getting Help For The Cat

Clara got down from the car and Leo did the same. The sky isn't very dark as the moonlight is still illuminating the earth, but the street they were passing through isn't a busy one.

The cat sat down beside the street and looked so pitiful, with blood stains on the floor, while half its fur looked damp.

The little princess also got down after Leo helped her open the door, as she's still learning the uses of things.

Hearing the low whimper the cat is making, Clara gritted her teeth. She thought the cat was hit by a moving vehicle, because she refused to believe that someone would deliberately hurt this creature.

Belle walked past her and tried reaching for the cat, but he gave her a threatening growl and looked like he would attack if Bella came closer.

"Annabelle!" Leo called her name and made quick steps forward.

"He's in pain."

"He's in pain"

Clara and Belle said at the same time, as they felt the cat's pain.

"Daddy it's fine." Belle said and looked into the cat's eyes, "calm down." she said and the malice in the cat's eyes vanished.

Immediately Belle said that, the cat started crawling towards her. She's now inside its head.

"Your cloth will get stained, let me carry him." Leo said and Clara who had the same thoughts reached out her arms at the same time.

Their hands dropped when they saw Belle's eyes cloudy white.

They let her handle it.

Picking up the cat, Belle rubbed his fur gently and smiled at the softness and the warmth radiating from his body.

While doing that, she began easing the cat's pain till it turned energetic in her arms, like he used to be, before getting hurt.

"We need to get him checked up." Leo said and they all walked inside the car with Belle holding onto him on her laps.

"He wants to listen to music." Belle said and Clara did just that. She's still looking so pissed that someone will hurt a cat and leave.

Even if it's an accident, they should at least get help for him.

...

"I'm afraid we will have to admit him for a day or two. Whatever hit him, delivered a heavy blow. I'm surprised he's still this energetic." The Vet said to Leo and Clara co.

He's surprised that the cat seems so calm, when it's possible that there is a broken bone.

Leo, Clara and Belle knew why it was so and just remained silent.

"It's fine. We will come to check on him tomorrow." Leo said, but Belle said she will wait.

After Leo explained that this is different from a normal hospital and all, they later left after paying for the services and Vet saying the cat can be fixed.

Meanwhile.

"How is she now?" Racheal's father asked the doctor, who was sweating buckets right now.

"She's fine. Who's pompom?" the doctor asked the blonde haired man that's looking as white as a sheet of paper in front of him.

"That's her cat." He replied.

"Where is it? She's fine physically, but she looked dazed and kept muttering 'pompom' and how pompom was only trying to save her. How pompom was bleeding and all." 

The man held both hands to his hair. After dropping the call with his wife, he was preparing to leave the office for the business meeting, when he realized that he didn't bring the needed document from home, because he wasn't expecting today to be the meeting date.

He called again, so that his wife could bring it outside the house and hand it to him, but she didn't pick the call.

He was already driving home while calling and feeling frustrated, because he's almost late.

After so many trials, he decided to go and pick it himself, thinking his wife was busy.

When he got home, the door was opened, so he quickly dashed towards his study, but hadn't walked too far when he heard his wife and 7 year old child screaming at each other and the constant scream in pain was coming in between his daughter's words.

It was like, she's not backing down no matter what she's currently going through.

When he rushed towards the guest room, where the noise was coming from, he saw his wife standing on top of his child and screaming that he will kill her, while Rachael was crying and holding one of her legs, saying she won't let her hurt pompom repeatedly like a mantra.

Like a disney wicked stepmother, his wife's eyes look devilish and blood sipping from the claw marks on it.

Taking quick steps, he delivered a heavy punch to her jawline before she could explain herself and she fainted immediately.

Leaving her there and locking the door from outside, so that she won't escape after waking up, he brought his daughter to the hospital.

"I didn't find the cat at home. Baby, where did pompom go?" the man asked her daughter that's just staring into space on the bed, with tear filled eyes.

"Pompom was only trying to save me. Pompom is hurt..." the girl continued saying the same thing over and over again.
