    Chapter 685 Another Fluffy Animal


    At that, Cassidy sighed resignedly. "It would be great if you two came two years earlier when Grandpa


    was still alive."


    "Is there anything we can do to ease Rayna''s condition now?" Curtis nced at Rayna. His expression


    darkened when he saw theyer of skin sloughed off her neck.


    "This is just ecdysis. It''s not a big problem. That thing has been hibernating in Belle''s body for a


    prolonged time, causing its toxins to be unable to be discharged naturally. Even if it can release its


    toxins naturally, Belle''s body can''t expel them from her system. Hence, the toxins will stay in her body


    and eventually fuse with her blood."


    Curtis immediately probed, "What happens after the fusion?"


    "Normally, nothing serious will happen from that since that substance isn''t particrly harmful to the


    human body. However, Belle was poisoned by Arachrede years ago, and there are remains of the toxin


    in her body. She might lose her life if these two toxins merge." As Cassidy spoke, she took off her white


    coat and continued, "There''s arge patch of ecdysis on Belle''s neck. I''m guessing that parasite


    crawled on her neck before and discharged its toxins there.”


    "I''ve seen it crawling on her neck, but I''m not sure if it did what you said." Curtis said softly, sounding a


    little choked up.


    "For now, Belle''s condition will not deteriorate severely as long as she has the emerald bracelet."


    Cassidy turned around and nced at Curtis before she walked toward Rayna. Then, she ced her


    hand on the emerald bracelet Rayna was wearing. After a while, she murmured, “Fortunately, the


    parasite is sleeping soundly."


    Rayna knew Cassidy was referring to the blood parasite and asked, "Is that good or bad news?"


    "Of course, it''s good news." With that, Cassidy stretched out her arm and flicked Rayna''s forehead


    lightly. If this thing wakes up, it has to deplete all the nutrients in your body to stay alive. At that time,


    you''ll lose your life!

    Cassidy sat on the couch across from Rayna after she poured herself a ss of water. "Isabelle, are


    you sure you don''t know how this parasite entered your system?"


    Rayna shook her head after mulling it over. "I don''t have any memories of it at all."


    After she heard that, Cassidy took a deep breath and nced resignedly at Curtis, who was opposite


    her.


    "Ms. Cassidy." Yasmin''s voice sounded from the courtyard. At that, Cassidy turned her gaze to the


    courtyard and saw Yasmin walking in with a ck bag in her hand.


    "Ms. Cassidy, someone left this at the entrance." Yasmin ced the bag beside Cassidy. "There''s


    something inside, and it can move."


    Cassidy stared at the bag for a long time and was about to reach out to untie it when a squeaking


    sound suddenly dissuaded her.


    "What the hell! What is that?" Cassidy was not afraid of insects but was terrified of fluffy animals. When


    she heard the sound, she immediately thought it was a rat and leaped onto the couch''s armrest out of


    fear.


    On the other hand, Rayna immediately thought of Furry at the hotel when she heard the sound. “Curtis,


    is it Furry?”


    "Furry?" Cassidy''s face scrunched up in disgust. Then, she continued, "Is that thing fluffy?"


    On the side, Curtis touched the tip of his nose after hearing that and looked at Rayna with a slightly


    raised eyebrow.


    "Right," Rayna answered and proceeded to open the bag. She was instantly greeted by the backend of


    something fluffy.


    "It''s not Furry." Rayna was surprised to see a fluffy blue animal. Curtis, who was standing at the side,


    was puzzled as well.


    "Don''t touch it. Give it to me." Afraid the animal would hurt Rayna, Curtis took the bag from her. Then,


    he put his hand inside the bag and took the creature out.


    "Wow! It''s adorable.” Yasmin couldn''t help but want to touch the fuzzy creature in Curtis'' arms. In


    response, it snapped at her.


    "How fierce!" Yasmin covered her hand. Fortunately, she reacted quickly and retracted her hand in


    time. Otherwise, she would have a bleeding wound.


    "Show me." Rayna stretched out her arm, wanting to take the animal from Curtis but was rejected by


    him. "It''s not Furry. It bites."


    "I know. Just bring it closer to me so that I can see it." Then, Rayna pointed at her thighs. "Or you can


    put it on my thighs.”


    Ignoring her words, Curtis held it tightly, facing Rayna.


    Now, Rayna could see it. "It looks identical to Furry, but their ears are different." The animal in front of


    her had tufts of fur on top of its upright ears, whereas the one back at the hotel didn''t have it and had


    floppy ears.


    As she spoke, she moved to touch it but was stopped by Curtis. To their surprise, the fluffy animal


    licked Rayna''s hand and didn''t attack her.


    Rayna was overjoyed and patted herp, gesturing for Curtis to ce the creature on it.


    Curtis put it down carefully, and it stood on Rayna''sp, rubbing its head against her chest. Then, it sat


    on herp and stared at her.


    Terrified of anything furry, Cassidy distanced herself by walking over to the entrance. She looked


    toward the living room. “What is that thing?"


    "We don''t know its breed either." Rayna looked at Curtis and asked, "Did you find anything on the


    inte?"


    Curtis shook his head in response.


    "You mentioned a ''Furry'' earlier. Are you raising one of those things?" Cassidy asked Rayna.


    "We adopted one yesterday," Rayna said yfully, then picked up the blue fuzzball and looked at it


    carefully. “It''s different from Furry. I think I''ll call it Fluffy for now."


    Right then, Curtis noticed the animal''s gender. "It''s a male."


    "What about Furry?" Rayna looked at Curtis.


    "I didn''t pay attention," Curtis replied. He stopped being mindful of the animal as it seemed to enjoy


    sitting on Rayna''sp.


    "Yasmin, did you see who left it here?" Cassidy asked, being the only person out of the four afraid of


    fluffy animals.


    "No, I didn''t, but I saw a brown car." Yasmin was unperturbed when she said what she recalled. "It


    might just be a car passing by. It''s hard to say if that driver was the one who sent this thing here."


    "Let''s check the surveince footage." With that, Cassidy turned to leave.


    Wanting to y with Fluffy, Yasmin walked up to Rayna. However, Fluffy avoided her touch but no


    longer made a posture like it was ready to attack.


    "Do you think Fluffy is a pair with Furry?" A thought suddenly shed in Rayna''s mind.


    When Curtis heard that, he turned his attention back to Fluffy. "I don''t think so." How can they be a pair


    when they look different and have different colors?


    He thought it was too strange and coincidental for a pair of them toe to him and Rayna.


    "I''ll go check out the surveince footage." Curtis went in Cassidy''s direction after he told Rayna that.


    "Unfortunately, I can''t see very well now. Otherwise, I''d take a good look at you." As Rayna spoke, she


    raised her hand to touch Fluffy''s back and came across a protruding area.
