Twisted Ties of Love novel Chapter 367

Nikki seemed to sense the ill-intent of the stranger, burying her face into Izabella's bosom.

Izabella's heart ached. She hated when people said Nikki was sick, let alone that she wouldn't live long.

She pulled out a tissue from her bag and wiped away her tears.

"We'll always be together."

With a hoarse meow, Nikki seemed to respond to her words. Sensing Izabella's discomfort, Nikki stretched out her tongue to carefully lick her hand.

The cat's tongue was covered in tiny barbs, making it a bit ticklish on the skin. Izabella raised her hand to pet Nikki's head.

Feeling carsick was no fun, but she had to endure it. She had been enduring it for years, so she was used to it and didn't find it too hard to bear.

After an hour's drive, the driver pulled over.

Izabella got out of the car with her bag and Nikki in her arms. Instead of heading straight for her apartment, she took Nikki to the vet.

Once a clingy kitty, Nikki was now terrified of strangers, always trying to burrow into Izabella's arms. Not wanting to force Nikki, Izabella cooed and comforted her until she finally raised her head. Nikki looked around, scared and anxious.

The vet conducted a full-body examination on Nikki, and the results were not good. Over the years, Brett had often called in pet doctors to help maintain Nikki's health.

But a cat's lifespan could never outlast a human's. Nikki was already four years old, and the injuries from the fire had cut her life expectancy in half. She was now an elderly person.

Her organs were degenerating. Just like humans, cats could also die of heartbreak.

The vet prescribed many nutritional supplements and told Izabella what to watch out for. Izabella also bought a comfortable cat bed and some cat toys, all things Nikki used to enjoy playing with.

Izabella didn't want to hear about how long Nikki could live; she only hoped that she could be with Nikki and make her happy while she was alive.

She bought a ton of stuff, costing her twenty grand. The staff helped her deliver it to her small apartment.

Izabella put Nikki on the sofa. Seeing that it was already noon, she decided to prepare Nikki's meal first before making her own.

After eating, Izabella started tidying up the room and putting away the purchased items.

She put Nikki in the cat bed, "try it out and see if it's comfortable."
