Meanwhile, the following morning, Lysander was awakened by the sunlight seeping through a corner of the curtains.

The morning sun was at its most gentle at dawn, and the bed was soft and comfortable.

She remembered being engrossed in reading some documents in the study, but she couldn’t remember when she had gotten into bed.

Lysander, groggy with sleep, rubbed her tousled hair. Her mind was filled with the hazy scenes from before she fell asleep.

Right then, a sudden damp sensation came from her left palm that was resting on the other side. It was akin to being licked by a small animal.

Startled awake, Lysander quickly sat up and glanced to the left of her bed. There, right beside her pillow, was a small, fluffy bundle. It was unmistakably a Ragdoll kitten, so tiny that it resembled a plushie.

Upon awakening, Lysander was greeted by the sight of the little kitten. It had taken the initiative to nuzzle its tiny head into the palm of her hand, letting out a sweet meow.

Lysander was somewhat dazed, but the kitten was simply too adorable. It was nestled next to her face, a tiny furball,

It seemed as if the kitten sensed her awakening. It slowly rose to its feet, albeit unsteadily, as if struggling to

to maintain its balance.

There was limited space on the pillow, and Lysander was worried that the kitten might lose its footing and fall off. Thus, she reached out and cradled the little feline into her arms.

Its eyes were a brilliant, deep blue, and when it looked down, she could almost see her reflection mirrored back.

Once her mind cleared, Lysander took another look around. There was no doubt that she was in the resort hotel room. I was reviewing materials here just the night before. How on earth did a cat appear out of nowhere?

Just then, a rustling noise echoed from the entrance of the living room, indicating someone had entered.

Over the past few days, Lysander had grown accustomed to Josiah’s occasional appearances behind her and was no longer surprised by him.
