“Why are you being so cold tothen? Are you still upset because
I didn’t let you keep a cat?”
There was a look of shock on Rachel’s face as she looked at him.
Before she could say a word, Victor held her hand and tried to pull her next to the bed.
Afraid that she might hurt his wounds, Rachel took the initiative to move closer to him.
“Rachel, you must have misinterpreted what I meant.
It’s not that I don’t want you to keep a cat.
I was just worried that you would catch the germs from it since you got it from the streets.
I’ve already asked Ivan to take the cat to a vet for examination.

Suddenly, Rachel was reminded of the cat that Victor asked to be thrown out.
It was ridiculous how he thought that they were fighting over a mere cat.
Calmly, Rachel took her hand from his.
“I’m not upset.
I’ve already thought about that.
I know I shouldn’t keep it.
The cat must’ve lived in the streets for quite stnow.
May it would prefer things to be that way.
You should ask Ivan to set it free.”
“Is that really what you want?”
“Yeah.”
There was darkness in Victor’s eyes as he gazed at Rachel.
His eyes were staring intently at her but not a word left his Lips.
“I really think it would be better off that way,” Rachel reassured him.
“Then why don’t you have your wedding ring on?” Victor asked.
Following his line of sight, Rachel’s eyes drifted to her ring finger.
She had never owned a ring.
How could she possibly wear one now?
“Ah! The wedding ring.J.I lost it,” she replied.

“You lost it?”
Rachel sensed the misery in his words.
“Yeah.
I’ve been looking for it for days but I can’t find it.”
Victor stared at her.
He seemed to be lost in his thoughts.
Whenever he looked at her, Rachel felt an inexplicable sense of oppression.
Rachel tried her best to act as if nothing was wrong.
She did not want to risk arousing his suspicion.
It was nothing but a pair of rings.
She could have just said that she left it at home.
