Chapter 213
ra had been on a winning streak. Her legal acumen turned the courtroom into a stage where she
performed with grace and precision.
One of her recent cases, a high-profile celebrity divorce, had catapulted her once more into the
legal limelight.
The celeb in question had been with his girlfriend for a decade, but it was a rtionship that
remained shrouded in secrecy, far from the prying eyes of the public.
The girl, only eighteen when they met, had devoted herself to him, catering to his every need. Even
during his darkest days, when his star had faded, she stood by him, unwavering.
As fortune’s wheel turned and he found fame once again, he was ready to discard her likest
season’s wardrobe, eyeing an alliance with an heiress from a wealthy dynasty.

Legally, the girl was unprotected; her ten years of youth were trampled underfoot by his callous
disregard.
Manywyers had passed on the case, daunted by the slim chances of victory. Only ra took it
on.
And she didn’t just take it — she won, spectacrly. Not only did she secure thepensation the
girl deserved for her years of dedication, but she also tarnished the reputation of the heartless artist,
causing a mass exodus of his fan base.
ra watched as the girl, overwhelmed with gratitude, embraced her, with tears streaming down
her face. The victory stirred something deep within ra’s own heart. Her rtionship with Ian had
mirrored that girl’s story. Three years of her life, ended by his admission that it was merely a fling,
nothing serious.
The one advantage ra had was that Ian had offered her a settlement without the need to drag
their personal drama through the courts.
Exiting thew firm, ra gazed up at the stars twinkling in the night sky. Her eyes misted over with
unshed tears. Right then, her phone rang with an unfamiliar number. Hesitating for just a moment,
she answered.
“Hello, is this Snow’s mom? This is the veterinary clinic.”
The mention of the veterinary clinic sent a jolt through ra’s heart. “What’s happened to Snow?”
she asked urgently.
“Snow’s been hit by a car. We’re treating him, but he’s resisting our attempts to bandage him up.
Snow’s dad mentioned he’s very attached to you. Please,e quickly. If he loses too much blood,
I’m afraid the oue will be dire.”
Without waiting for further details, ra dashed to her car and sped to the veterinary clinic.
Upon arrival, she found Snow whimpering in pain on an examination table. At the sight of her, Snow
let out a few intive whines, each oneced with hurt and sadness.
ra’s eyes were immediately filled with tears, and she rushed to his side. “Oh, Snow, where does
it hurt? Are you in a lot of pain?” sheforted him. Her voice was thick with emotion.
Snow, previously so restless, settled down in ra’s embrace, crying out softly. Ian approached and
wrapped his arms around them both. His voice was ragged with exhaustion. “Snow’s missed you so
much. He saw a woman on the street who looked like you and bolted after her. It happened right as
the light turned green, and... a car hit him.”
Snow had been their joint purchase from a pet store three years ago, no more than a puppy then.
ra had been the one to raise him, so he had grown most attached to her. When she left, she had
considered taking Snow with her, but the thought of him being lonely at home without someone to
care for him made her relinquish the idea.
When ra heared Ian’s words, her tears flowed freely. She felt no better than Victoria, abandoning
her baby to live a carefree life without a second thought.
On her quieter days, ra’s thoughts often strayed to Snow, but seeing him would mean interacting
with Ian again. She wanted no more entanglements with him, so she’d buried those feelings deep
inside.
The vet approached, trying to offer some sce. “Animals, much like humans, they feel deeply,
especially dogs. Their loyalty to their owners can surpass that of humans. Whatever issues you two
might have, please settle them privately. Don’t let it hurt this poor creature. Look at him. He’s
suffering.”
