Eudora frowned. It turned out that they were not married yet.
But on second thought, even if they didn't get married, it had nothing to do with her. After gaining her
freedom, she didn't want to go back anymore.
Shaking her head, she smiled and said, "Auntie Valerie, let's not talk about this. Let's free up some time
and I'll treat you to dinner! Oh, and you'll have to bring Cola."
Auntie Valerie nodded happily. "Okay, I'll look forward to it then!"
The two of them chatted for a while. After that, Eudora had to go to work, so she excused herself and
left.
Auntie Valerie was a little excited. After shopping for groceries, she went home and wanted to tell Cola
the good news.
However, she couldn't find it anywhere after looking around. Auntie Valerie thought that Cola might be
hiding in the garden again, so she decided to prepare the dishes first.
Cola was indeed lying under the bushes in the garden. Out of nowhere, a black shadow flashed
outside, making the leaves rustle. Cola raised its head in alertness and jumped up quickly.
Unexpectedly, the man in the black shadow suddenly fired something towards Cola.
A small bang went off, followed by Cola's howl. Shot in the leg by an air gun, it whimpered in pain and
turned to run away. The black shadow chased after Cola for a few steps, but he couldn't catch up with
the dog. However, after he looked at the blood dripping on the ground, he stopped his chase and
walked away with a smirk.
Poor Cola was frantically running everywhere, scared and wounded.
It ran to the road again and was frightened by the cars. Cola had never left Clearwater Bay all its life
and now was frightened out of its wits.
Cola eventually lost its way.
Inside the kindergarten, it was Juju's first day of school and she was not familiar with her surroundings.
While everyone else was playing in the playground, she sat on the side of the stairs alone and stared
outside blankly.
She had been looking forward to seeing her mother after school all day and wished that time could
pass faster.
While she was thinking, a dog suddenly collapsed on the ground outside. Juju was stunned and
hurriedly ran over. Through the fence, she saw that the dog's leg was covered in blood.
"Are you alright?"
Juju asked in her soft voice.
Cola lifted its head and glanced at the little girl, then closed its eyes again. Juju's lips wobbled, thinking
that Cola was dead. But when she remembered her mother telling her that she couldn't cry, she fought
back her tears.
While the teacher was not paying attention, she went back to her desk, took out some bread, and fed
Cola through the fence. "Eat, little dog."
Cola was indeed hungry, but when it sniffed that it was bread, it turned its head away haughtily.
Its favorite food was steak!
Juju pursed her lips in annoyance and ate the bread herself.
It was lunchtime not long after. They were given beef for meat, and Juju secretly put the beef to one
side.
She came out from the room, ran towards Cola and gave the beef to the dog. This time, Cola took a
couple of bites out of the beef.
Seeing that the injured dog finally was willing to eat, Juju beamed in delight.
When school was over, Eudora came early to pick up her daughter.
After waiting for a long time, she still couldn't see Juju. After the other children left, Eudora finally
spotted Juju coming out from behind her. There was a limping dog in her arms, and she was covered
with blood.
The sight was enough to frighten Eudora instantly. "Are you injured? What happened?"
Juju shook her head and said, "Mommy, it's not me, Eudora frowned and looked at the dog covered in
blood. It actually looked a little familiar, and she reached out to stroke its head. Unexpectedly, the
puppy suddenly opened its eyes and looked at Eudora. The next second, it started wagging its tail
weakly.
For a moment, Eudora was stunned. "Cola?"
Hearing its name, the puppy's eyes lit up.
However, it had lost too much blood and was a little weak. In the end, Cola passed out.
Eudora quickly got Juju into the car and sent Cola to the veterinary clinic as fast as she could. After
checking its injury, the wound was then wrapped up.
When everything was settled, Eudora let out a sigh of relief and decided to leave a number.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"After we leave, could you give the owner a call to pick the puppy up?" Eudora said to the staff.
Juju refused to leave. "Mommy, what if Cola's master did not come and pick it up?"
Eudora shook her head firmly. "No, they will!" She left Auntie Valerie's number with the clinic.
Juju was still reluctant, but Eudora quickly picked her up in her arms. "If you like puppies, maybe we
can buy one for ourselves, but Cola is someone else's dog. We can't just take it away."
Juju had no choice but to nod and follow Eudora out. Unexpectedly, a small shadow with a limp
immediately followed them outside. It was Cola. Because of the movement, its wound was now split
open again.
Eudora frowned and said, "Cola, go back."
Cola whined but still refused to move. Seeing this, the vet suggested, "Miss, why don't you take it
back? People come and go in our hospital. Someone might take this dog away. We can tell that the
owner must have taken good care of this dog, but we can't bear the responsibility if it goes missing
again."
Eudora pursed her lips and looked at Cola, who was rubbing itself on her legs. Together with her
daughter's pleading, she had no choice but to compromise.
She would call Auntie Valerie to pick Cola up from the hotel.
When Juju saw that they were bringing Cola home, she wiggled out of Eudora's arms. "Mommy, you
don't have to carry me anymore. Could you please carry Cola?"
Speechless, Eudora had no choice but to pick Cola up.
Cola was a teddy poodle. Even if it grew up, it was not very heavy. Cradled by Eudora, it quietly nestled
in Eudora's arms, like a baby.
Eudora couldn't help but reminisce the memories from five years ago. Every time she was unhappy,
Cola would sit by her side.
After returning to the hotel, Eudora found a cushion for Cola and lay the dog down. Then she quickly
gave Auntie Valerie a call. In the morning, Auntie Valerie thought that Cola had gone to the garden to
play, so she went to cook. But after she had finished, Cola still hasn't come back.
She went to the garden but Cola was nowhere in sight, making her anxious. Then, she went around the
neighborhood to look for him. When she came back and saw a pool of blood in the garden, she let out
a small scream.
Amos had just gotten home then, so he arranged for someone to bring him the surveillance videotape
of the garden.
When Eudora lived here, Amos was afraid for her safety, so he installed surveillance cameras in all
corners of the house. The cameras were well hidden, and others didn't know that they were there.
The video was soon sent over. Amos could see a man in black attire creeping intp the garden. Then, he
took out an air gun and shot Cola, hitting it in the leg.
Auntie Valerie looked at the screen with dismay. "The person who stole our dog is so inhumane. Cola is
just a pet, what does he get from stealing our dog?"
Amos' brows were also knitted tightly together. Quickly, he dialed Harley's number. "I'll send a video to
you, could you look up who the person is..."
Harley was taken aback. "I'm a policeman, not in the K-9 unit!"
However, Amos was asking him for a favor. It was impossible for Harley to decline! After hanging up
the phone, Amos got up and said, "I'll go out and look for Cola again."
However, the next second, Auntie Valerie's phone rang. After she ended the call, her spirits perked up
again.
"Sir, thank goodness, Cola has been found! He's at Miss George's place. I'll go fetch Cola home now."
Amos froze. "Eudora?"
"Yes, Miss George said that they found Cola by the streets," replied Auntie Valerie as she was about to
head out the door.
Amos stopped her again. "Don't worry about it. I'll go...
