Chapter 393
Rowan paused. His throat felt choked up, and his gaze turned sorrowful.
Cordelia thought that she had triggered something sad and felt guilty. She quickly diverted the topic.
“Sir, your cat looks quite well. It doesn’t look like it’s sick!”
“Oh…” Rowan recovered and stered on a smile. “It… isn’t feeling too well these days either. I
think it’s better to check it out.”
“But this line is really long.” Cordelia sighed.
The veterinary hospital was not big, but the cats and dogs were hard to control. They could not
speak and could only cry their difort out. Even an experienced vet would take some time with
each pet.
“It’s not your turn yet.” Rowan smiled. “Why don’t I take a look at your cat?”
Cordelia was surprised. “You’re a vet?”
“I’m a doctor.”
She smiled. “Sir, you treat humans, but you can treat animals too?”
Rowan refused to miss this chance to interact with her, so he insisted. “Theoretically, you grasp a
concept in medicine, and you’re able toprehend the rest. It shouldn’t be a problem!”
Cordelia frowned.
That was not what Seth had said. He always said that professionals specialized in different fields. A
professional andplicated field like medicine, especially, required even more specialization.
“It’s still a long queue anyway!” Rowan said with a smile, “Let me check it out! I have an ancestral
secret form!”
Cordelia smiled. She put Ginger down skeptically.
In order to chat longer with his daughter, Rowan treated a cat for the first time in his life. It was just
that he could not feel where the pulse was or how to check it. He felt around, annoying the cat.
Ginger meowed and swatted him, leaving a solid scratch on the back of his hand!
“Ah!” Cordelia was shocked. “Ginger, what are you doing!?”

A few red lines appeared on the back of Rowan’s hand and swelled instantly.
Cordelia paled and apologized profusely.
“I’m so sorry, sir! I didn’t watch it properly…”
“It’s fine!”
Although the back of Rowan’s hand throbbed, he was smiling.
Cordelia was extremely guilty. “Let me take you to get a shot for the wound first!”
“No need!” Rowan waved her off. “It’s just a small wound. It’s really okay.”
“But it’ll get infected…”
“I have anti-inmmatory meds. I’ll put some on after I disinfect itter. It’ll be alright.”
Cordelia bit her lips. “Sir, my cat scratched you. I should take responsibility for it.”
Rowan looked at her quietly with a loving gaze.
She was a girl but was brave to shoulder things. She was much stronger than a lot of men. She had
Irwin blood in her—and she would not disappoint.
“Ask for anypensation you wish. I’ll surely—”
“It’s really fine,” replied Rowan. He suddenly had an idea and smiled. “If you really feel so bad about
it, we can exchange contact numbers. If I feel unwell after I go back, I can contact you. What do you
think?”
Cordelia was more than willing and nodded fervently.
Both of them exchanged their numbers.
At the same time, it was finally Cordelia’s turn. She picked up Ginger and turned back to nce at
him apologetically.
Rowan smiled and waved, incredibly content as he watched her back.

Mrs. Bayer’s recital on the sea was held as nned.
The sky was a brilliant blue with the sun shining. The calm sea seemed to be gilded and
breathtaking when the waves glimmered from the breeze.
