Chapter 43

Yvonne was still a little out of it. She shook her head at the anxious Keenan and, with a confused expression, murmured. Tm hne

A tall man rushed over and grabbed Teddy’s collar from Keenan. He crouched down, his eyes widening in surprise as he saw what the dog was chewing on He quickly tried to pull it away. “Teddy, what are you eating?”

Yvonne and Keenan finally saw that the dog was chewing on…. flowers.

Yvonne’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly looked down at the bouquet she was holding. Half of the flowers were already chewed up! The stems were all messed up, a far cry from the neat bundle she had so carefully prepared earlier.

Yvonne’s lips trembled, and her big, clear eyes welled up with tears. “M–my flowers…” Her tiny, tearful voice was heartbreaking. I was going to give these to Anna…..

Keenan and the man were both speechless, while Teddy kept happily chewing away,

“Oh no, Ms. Adler, don’t cry. We’ll get you some more flowers, Keenan said, flustered.

The commotion quickly drew the attention of others. Two more men approached.

“Mr. Lawson, you’re finally here,” the man who had been holding Teddy let go of the leash and rushed over to explain, “Teddy ate this little girl’s flowers.”

Fred Lawson couldn’t believe it. He’d been feeding Teddy top–quality food, and there were all sorts of snacks at home. There was no way the dog would just eat someone else’s flowers.

But when he got closer, sure enough, half of the flowers the girl was holding had been eaten.

Keenan had somehow managed to find another fresh bouquet and handed it to Yvonne. “Ms. Adler, here’s a new one.”

Yvonne wiped her tears and glanced at the flowers in Keenan’s hands. “No, thank you,’ she said softly. She wanted the flowers she had prepared last night, the ones she had promised to give to Anna.
