Felicia was stunned momentarily, recalling the night before when she had been on the cliff edge. Stephan had been with the little white dog, but after they both fell, the dog was left behind and brought back down the mountain with the villagers to Macey's house.
Now that Macey was gone, Cloud could only be given to someone else to care for.
For some reason, this made her think of Stephan.
He had taken Cloud with him that day, so it seemed like he really liked it. If so, should she bring it to him in Khogend?
As she thought about this, she crouched and picked it up, gently patting its empty stomach—no wonder it had been whining so pitifully.
She took Cloud back to Romeo's house. He had adopted it first, so she placed it next to the big dog. The big dog lazily opened its eyes, glanced at the puppy, and then went back to sleep.
Cloud immediately tried to nurse, but after a few tries, it returned to Felicia's feet and whined.
Aya saw this and laughed, "The big dog doesn't have milk anymore, so it probably won't get anything. But the meal will be ready soon. We'll give them some mushroom pasta."
"Okay."
Aya was quick and efficient. In no time, several dishes were prepared. Felicia didn't have much of an appetite but ate a small serving. She had caught a cold yesterday and had a high fever. Though her temperature had dropped, she was still prone to getting a low fever if she wasn't careful.
After taking two pills, she helped Aya clean up the table. By this time, it was already past midnight.
She had slept too long during the day and couldn't fall asleep now. She put on another coat and stepped outside. Cloud was now full of energy. As soon as it saw her, it bounded over.
