Chapter 425 Mr. Reynolds' Jealousy

Edward saw her coughing getting worse. He stood up and said, "Let's hit the clinic. Don't wait when you're sick; it only gets worse." Phoebe replied, "I'm really fine."

But Edward was firm. Phoebe had no choice but to get up and say, "It's freezing outside. I'll put the cat in the carrier and not take him out." She tried to put Ollie in the carrier, but it clung to her arm, afraid they'd leave it behind.

Phoebe was speechless.

Edward saw her struggle and said, "Just bring it along. It seems really attached to you."

Phoebe had no choice but to carry Ollie to the door.

As she passed Edward, he suddenly took Ollie from her. He moved so fast she couldn't stop him, and Ollie was already in his arms. Phoebe warned, "He doesn't like strangers and might scratch you."

But Ollie curled up in Edward's arms. She thought, 'Is Ollie scared of Edward?'

Edward petted the cat's back. Ollie's fur stood up, but he didn't move.

Edward's presence was intimidating.

"It didn't scratch you. When we first got him, it even scratched..." She stopped, feeling a pang of heartache.

Edward pretended not to notice and said, "Maybe I look friendlier, and it likes me. Let's go; I'll hold it."

Phoebe chuckled. She poked Ollie's head, and it whimpered as if asking for help.

Phoebe found Ollie cute. She grabbed her bag, put on a scarf, and left with Edward.
