Chapter 448 Get Dressed Before You Come Out
White Coat seemed to be in pain, whimpering and seeking solace in Lysander’s embrace as it limped. Its hind legs seemed injured.
Adrian also noticed something off about the dog. “Its fur seemed to be torn off, and its leg seems a bit lame too.
Lysander held White Cost tightly to comfort it, her voice trembling with fear. “The police said that the thief from last night was a seasoned criminal with a past record. If it weren’t for Josiah…”
Her voice trailed off, for she dared not mention Josiah’s name in Adrian’s presence.
Adrian assumed she was just frightened and didn’t dwell on that. Instead, he comforted her in a soft voice, “Don’t be afraid. It’s over,
“Yeah, I know. Thank you for sending me home. Be careful on your way back.” Lysander changed the subject without skipping a beat.
Glancing at the draughty balcony and the warped floor–to–ceiling window frame, Adrian didn’t insist on helping her to repair them. Instead, he slowly stood up and said, “Then I’ll be on my way. I still need to report back to Ms. Everhart.”
Lysander, hugging White Coat, nodded. “I won’t be seeing you out.”
Adrian, still worried, kept pausing in his tracks and looking back as he made his way to the door. He couldn’t help but suggest, “I overheard the police say that single women can deter potential criminals by placing men’s old shoes at their doorstep. I think it makes sense. I’ll bring you some later,”
He surveyed the layout of Lysander’s home, his worry deepening. “You could also hang a few men’s clothes on the balcony,” he suggested.
“Don’t worry, I’ll just ask my dad for a few clothes and pairs of shoes later,” he said.
Adrian understood the underlying message and refrained from saying anything unnecessary. Instead, he asked as a friend, “Yeah, you can use your dad’s. Do you have any other plans after this?”
“I need to take White Coat to the veterinary clinic first to check on its injuries and leave it there to recuperate. There’s just too much on my plate after this, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to give it the attention it needs. Rather than keeping it with me and not being able to care for it properly, it would be better to let the professionals help.” Lysander stroked White Coat, carefully avoiding its injuries as she said worriedly. “Poor little pup, treated so brutally when it’s only a few months old. I’m worried it’ll be scarred for life.
Adrian thoughtfully suggested, “Maybe you should leave White Coat with me. There are many animals in the veterinary clinic, and the staff can’t possibly attend to each one thoroughly. I happen to have some free time lately, and it can keep me company. Don’t worry, I’ll take it to the veterinary clinic for a full check–up first. Once it’s treated, it can stay at my place to recover. You can pick it up once you’ve settled your
matters.”
