Incurable Chapter 5 Part 1

Before returning home, Mu Wan and Lin Wei first went to the pet store. She is raising a cat for the first time and is clueless. The shop assistant enthusiastically recommended it. Mu Wan took all the orders and bought two large boxes.

When the items are ready, Lin Wei takes the shop assistant to load them into the car. After locking the door, she approached Mu Wan, who was checking out.

Lin Wei rested her arms on the cashier counter, watched Mu Wan swipe her card, and said with emotion: “You haven’t gotten married yet, but you will be a mother.”

The cashier was a little girl and laughed at what she said. “What’s the matter? Everyone in our shop has cats.”

“Do you like it so much?” Lin Wei asked.

“Yeah.” The little girl smiled, her eyes sparkling as if she were thinking of something, “Your cat is still young now. But when it grows up, they squat at the door waiting for you if you go out and come back home. Meowing and welcoming you home. And with pets, you are not alone anymore.”

“The three of mine are still young.” Mu Wan said, thinking about the scene where three cats squatted at the door, waiting for her in the future. She couldn’t empathize with her. She hasn’t been waiting long and is still fascinated by raising a cat for the first time.

“The cat grows so fast.” The shop assistant said, “It can run around in less than two months.”

Mu Wan took the bill, smiled, and thanked him. Then, she got into the car with Lin Wei.

After Lin Wei sent Mu Wan home, her colleagues in the studio called Lin Wei away. Mu Wan put the kitten on the sofa and separated the two boxes. She took out the cat nest and made the goat milk powder. After arranging the kittens properly, she went into the bathroom.

After two days of not returning, the bathroom was a mess.

The water stains mixed with blood on the ground had dried up and floated on the floor. Mu Wan lives alone. Although she was taken to hospital in an ambulance when injured. But after the wound healed, she still had to clean up the mess herself.

Mu Wan turned on the faucet and wet the ground with water first. The water flowed fast and intensely, hitting the ground with a popping sound.

In such a loud voice, Mu Wan heard a soft cat cry. Then, she turned off the faucet instantly. There is still dripping water, which hits the ground with no sound.

“Meow~” This time, Mu Wan heard it, really.

She seemed overwhelmed by the water and hurried out of the bathroom.

She put the kitten in the bedroom, in the corner at the end of her bed. Because the kitten is so tiny, she bought the small cat nest with three small stuffed balls. They are still as big as the universe, like three little stars twinkling inside.

The little guys haven’t opened their eyes yet. After hearing the sound of footsteps, they closed their eyes and raised their heads. They press each other and try to climb up the cushion, seeming to be looking for something.

Mu Wan took the bottle and filled it with goat milk powder. The little guys who had just eaten started sucking again with the pacifier.

Are you going to eat much?

Mu Wan took the pacifier aside.

The three little guys were meowing and scrambling to climb up again. They were unhappy.

Mu Wan quickly put the pacifier over again.

Mu Wan was in a hurry, so squatting at first and then simply sat on the ground after the noise. The floor was cold, but Mu Wan was sweating.

Three cats have the same mother, but they are totally different. One is orange and orange-white, and the other is black and white. The orange has a big head and looks more powerful. It should be the eldest. The orange and white one has a white face and body, with only two orange spots on the back and tail. As for the black and white one, the color was mixed on the head. It separated from the forehead to the bottom as if combing the split hair.

Mu Wan arranged the order for the three kittens and named them: the oldest is Datou (Big Head), the second is Ertong (Two Barrels), and the third is Zhongfen (Middle Point).

After giving them names, Mu Wan put away the milk bottle. The three kittens, with round bellies, were well-fed, lying with their heads up and meowing. Mu Wan put her hands inside the cat’s nest, and the three little guys sniffed her first, then slowly put their heads on her hands and fell asleep.

The three small heads feel warm because Mu Wan’s hand inside the cat nest is very soft.

The light outside the window is getting brighter, and it’s sunny. Mu Wan feels that something grows quietly somewhere in her heart. She looks down at the three cats. The scene of the three kittens waiting for her suddenly appears in her mind.

She was like them. She was born without a father, and after her mother died, she was alone.

“But you are much luckier than me.” Mu Wan moved his fingers slightly, and her eyelashes quivered, “I don’t have anything, but you have siblings, and I am a godmother.”

After she said that, Mu Wan began to laugh.

When Liu Qian came to the office on Monday, the little nurse said to him, “Doctor Liu. The calico cat you often feed died a few days ago.”

The hand holding the pen paused. Liu Qianxiu looked up and asked: “How did it die?”

“It was hit by a car.” The little nurse sighed and said, “I heard it from the head nurse. She also said that the calico cat had a litter of kittens. She was going to take them home when she was off work at night and looked for a friend to adopt it, but when she went to see it after work, it was gone.”

The little nurse was worried and said, “Did someone take it away? The newborn kitten is not easy to feed. If they are adopted, it will be fine. I read the news that many perverts are particularly looking for kittens to abuse... “

After closing the medical records, Liu Qianxiu’s expression remained unchanged, and he said, “Prepare for the operation first.”

The little nurse was immersed in worry, returned to her senses, and hurriedly followed after a loud “Oh.” She thought that because Liu Qianxiu often went to feed Sanhua, he should have a good relationship with the calico cat. But since she said that the calico cat was killed by a car, doctor Liu’s expression had not changed much.

She knew Doctor Liu’s nickname was Liu Daochang (Taoist priest Liu). From the point of view of this incident, he’s really a little bit of the Taoist priest’s elegant and meaningless temperament.

Liu Qianxiu went to the hospital’s security room at noon after work. He retrieved the surveillance records for the previous two days. Few people passed by near the bushes at the hospital’s entrance, and many cars were parked.

He fast-forwards the surveillance video. When someone appears, Liu Qianxiu clicks the mouse to stop the fast-forwarding.

The woman in the surveillance video is slender and well-dressed. She stands in front of the bushes, bending over and leaning forward. When she stands up, there is a fluffy ball in her arms.

She awkwardly stood there, holding the kitten in her arms, and talked to another woman. After that, she looked in the camera’s direction and left the screen.

The monitor screen is switched, the light and shadow are on and off, and the outline of the man’s facial features is deep and distant. His eyes fixed on the video frame, with light reflected in his eyes, still as calm as a deep pool.

“What is she holding in her arms? Kitten?” The security guard looked at the picture and was fascinated by the woman’s beauty in the image. But because Liu Qianxiu was here, the topic turned to the kitten, “Stray cat. This young lady is very caring, but the cat is too young to support.”

Liu Qianxiu got up, thanked the security guard, opened the door, and walked out.
