Chapter 713
Turning to her side, Rayna picked up one of the creatures and felt for its paw before pressing it gently.
As it turned out, the creatures did have ws, but they were retractable ones.
Rayna yed with their ws for a brief moment beforementing, “It''s just like a cat''s ws.”
Fluffy gazed at Rayna and purred before leaning forward to lick her hand. It then rubbed its head
against her palm.
“Its fur is quite smooth.” Rayna petted Fluffy and noted that its fur feltfortable to the touch. “Are
they noisy at night?” Rayna asked Robin.
Rayna thought for a moment before answering Rayna, “Sometimes. They seem to be very sensitive to
the environment. A little movement is enough to alert them. They''re kind of like dogs.”
“Is that so?” Rayna picked Fluffy up and ced it on herp. Fluffy immediately curled up on herp
without making a fuss.
At that sight, Furry also leaped onto Rayna''sp and cuddled up next to Fluffy.
Curtis was greeted by the heartwarming scene upon return. Halting at the doorway, he shot the two
creatures a cold look before advancing into the room.
Upon seeing Curtis enter the room, Robin quickly shot up from the couch and stood to the side.
Rayna looked at Robin before following his line of sight to look at Curtis. “Are you done with the call?”
“Mm-hmm,” Curtis hummed in response as his gaze fell onto the two creatures. “Why did you bring
them here?” he asked Rayna with a gentle tone.
“They came here on their own,” Rayna replied without giving it much thought. “Robin told me that they
have ws. I didn''t even notice that before this. I only found out just now that they have retractable cat-
like ws.”
“They''re probably felines, but as for what species they are, I couldn''t find anything on the inte.”
Curtis picked up a mug and poured himself some water before taking a sip to soothe his throat.
A crease formed between Rayna''s brows when she heard what Curtis had said. She lowered her head
to look at the two creatures. “Could you fes be rare exotic animals? How can there be absolutely no
information about you?”
As soon as Rayna finished speaking, Furry stood up from herp and sniffed the area near Rayna''s
mouth and nose.
“Does my breath smell?” Rayna furrowed her brows in confusion when she saw Furry raising its head
and sniffing her breath. Cupping her hand around her mouth, Rayna huffed out a breath and sniffed.
“No, it doesn''t. What are you sniffing at, Furry?”
Rayna touched the tip of Furry''s nose affectionately. In response, the creaturey back down on her
lap.
“Oh, by the way, Cassidy said that she had prepared some medications for me.” Rayna turned to
Curtis. “She said that we can try it out.”
“Let''s go take a look.” Curtis ced the mug on the table and got up. When he saw that Rayna
remained on the couch, he asked, “Are you noting?”
“I''ll pass. It''s not like I can see clearly. I wouldn''t be able to see anything even if I go. I might as well
stay here and y with these two,” Rayna stated lightly.
Hearing that, Curtis did not insist that shee along. “I''ll go have a look.”

“Okay,” Rayna replied. With that, he turned to leave the room once again.
Robin stood aside wordlessly, keeping his head lowered. When Rayna saw that, she asked, “Why
aren''t you following him?”
“I''m not familiar with the herbs Ms. Cassidy uses. A lot of the herbs she has here are rare, and I can''t
even tell what they are. There''s no point in me going.” Robin smiled sheepishly as he scratched his
head.
Upon noticing how he was constantly staring at the two creatures on herp, Rayna could not help
asking, “Why do you look so worried?”
Robin froze momentarily when he heard the question before answering, “They have ws...”
Rayna detected a hint of abnormality in Robin''s tone. “Is it really only because of the ws?” Rayna
probed gently.
She did not think so.
“If you dare lie to my face, I''ll report you to Curtis when hees back. Then you''ll be in trouble.”
Rayna feigned a serious look as she nced at Robin. “Think carefully, Mr. Yeast.”
Rayna''s serious face was a rare sight to behold. Panicking, Robin furrowed his brows hesitantly, clearly
troubled.
Upon hearing Robin''s sigh, Rayna lowered her gaze to y with the two creatures on herp instead of
staring at the man.
“Mr. Faymon said that these two have an unidentified origin. Besides... one of them has a microchip.
Mr. Faymon suspected that they have been intentionally nted by your side by someone.” Taking a
deep breath, Robin told Rayna everything in one breath. He would turn to look at the door from time to
time, fearing that Curtis would return.
When Rayna heard Robin''s answer, she said, “This does sound like something he would say, but,
microchip, you say? Is that true?”
“It is. I''ve already taken a photo of it and verified it with a reliable source. My informant told me that
most people will imnt a microchip beneath their pets'' skin with the intention of tracking them.” As he
spoke, Robin tossed a careful look at Rayna. He patted his chest and sighed in relief after seeing her
calm expression. Good. She doesn''t seem upset.
Rayna began feeling around the two creatures'' bodies, but without knowing the location of the
microchip, she could not find anything. When Robin saw what she was doing, he figured that she was
trying to look for the microchip. Just as he was about to step forward and help her, he caught sight of
Curtis returning.
“What''s wrong?” Curtis shot Robin a sharp re.
Stepping aside, Robin admitted with a soft voice, “Mrs. Faymon asked me about the two creatures. I
told her about the microchip.”
Curtis'' expression darkened immediately at those words. He turned to Robin and shot thetter a stern
re.
“Don''t intimidate Mr. Yeast all the time,” Rayna said when she vaguely saw that Curtis was ring at
Robin. “I was the one who forced him to tell me. It''s not his fault.”
Seeing that Rayna was defending him, Robin cast a grateful look at the woman.
“Cassidy said that we''ll have to wait until the afternoon before the medicine is ready.” As he spoke,
Curtis bent down and tried to shoo the two creatures away but was stopped by Rayna.
“What are you doing? They''refortable lying here.” Rayna red at Curtis and warned, “They''re just
two small animals. No matter how capable they are, they can''t possibly outsmart human beings, can
they? Why can''t you ept them?”
“It''s not that I won''t ept them. It''s just that—” Curtis attempted to exin in a soft voice when he
noticed Rayna''s annoyance.
“You''re worried that they''ll identally hurt me, right?” Rayna cut him off before he could finish his
sentence.
“They''re animals, after all. They don''t know how to control themselves,” Curtis quickly exined.
Yet, his mind wandered back to what had happened when Rayna was trapped in the living room of the
mansion two days ago.
Subconsciously, Curtis believed that the two creatures had something to do with the thing inside
Rayna''s body. s, he had no solid proof, so his thoughts were merely baseless spections.
Rayna was rendered speechless. She didn''t know how to refute his statement, so she changed the
subject. “Did you see what those herbs look like?”
Curtis took a seat across from Rayna and crossed his legs. He was about to re at the two creatures
to make them leave when Rayna''s question interrupted him.
“Everything''s inside the cauldron. There''s not much to be seen. Most of them had already dissolved.”
Curtis remembered the list of herbs that he had gotten from Cassidy a moment ago. He quickly handed
the list to Robin. “Look up the names and effects of the herbs on this list and then inform me afterward.”
Taking the slip of paper from Curtis, Robin hummed in response and turned to leave the room.
