Facade of Love Novel novel Chapter 375

I took a deep breath and said, "I'll check if there's a pet hospital nearby."

Charlie furrowed his brow and said, "There won't be any open at this hour."

Of course I knew that, but I hoped that there might be one anyway. I decided to search on my phone. There were a few options, but since we were in a scenic area, the nearest pet hospital was almost eight miles away.

With this in mind, my first thought was to take the kitten to the hospital myself. I put away my phone and reached out to Charlie, saying, "The hotel is not far from here. You can go back to the hotel, and I'll take the kitten to the hospital."

I was initially worried that Charlie could not make it back as he was in a wheelchair, but I saw him getting up on his own earlier, so I was no longer as worried.

He did not hand the kitten to me but raised an eyebrow, looking at me. He asked, "How do you plan to get there?"

"By taxi," I replied succinctly.

He pursed his lips but did not say anything. Instead, he took out his phone and made a call. The call was quickly answered, and he said to the person on the other end, "Bring the car over."

Then, he hung up the phone.

A few minutes later, a black Mercedes-Benz pulled up by the roadside. A crew-cut man got out of the car, and Charlie looked at him and simply said, "Give me the keys."

The man handed the car keys to him, and Charlie then handed them to me, saying, "Let's go."

After a moment of confusion, I saw Charlie get into the passenger seat. I immediately took the driver's seat, started the car, and turned on the navigation to head to the nearest pet hospital.

After driving for a while, I could not help but glance at the crew-cut man who had gotten out of the car earlier through the rearview mirror. I had seen him before during Charlie's birthday the last time. He seemed like a bodyguard, thought that was not quite the right description.

I felt suspicious, but I did not dwell on it too much. After all, the kitten in Charlie's hands was getting weaker, and I could not afford to be distracted by other thoughts.
