Chapter 1201: Chapter 1173: You're Right Because Your Belly Is Big Chapter 1201: Chapter 1173: You're Right Because Your Belly Is Big Tony Stone's cravings during pregnancy were simply torturing her husband, Zenith Kyan. One day the smell of meat made her want to vomit, the next day the sight of soup disgusted her, and getting her to eat a single bite of food was terribly difficult. Zenith followed suit with growing frustration, but he couldn't eat for her, which left him deeply troubled.
“Can anyone be the same? What can I do if I just can't eat?” Yuki Stone was also at her wit's end. She'd already tried her best, for goodness' sake, and now she could only admire Mrs. Kiara.
At her home, Senna was usually unusual, and even during pregnancy, she was so different, not affected at all.
While they were talking about Kiara, Kiara knocked on the door.
When Zenith saw her, he was about to suggest Kiara coax Tony Stone to eat something, but then he saw Kiara, his role model, hands on her hips, pointing at him.
“Where did my Sophia Green go? Take me to see her.”
“…Sister-in-law, you should discuss this with the Vice President, don't come to me!” The moment Zenith heard this, he wanted to flee. He was not the type to betray his brother.
“If you take me there, and Tony Stone can't eat for the next month, I'll come every day to keep her company while she eats!”
“Let's go! I'll take you there!”
Zenith drew a cross in his heart, Brother, it's not that I betrayed you, but the stakes your daughter-in-law offered were too high!
Zenith led Kiara into the company, navigating through twists and turns until they reached a small room. He gestured towards the inside.
Taking a deep breath, Kiara pushed open the door, only to see a white cloth draped over Beautiful Lady's bed, with her paws sticking out underneath. Her vision went dark as she rushed in!
Kneeling on the floor, she trembled as she reached out to lift the white cloth to see her Sophia Green, but feared she wouldn't be able to handle what she might see.
“Sister-in-law–” Zenith began, but then stopped.
“Leave me alone, I want to spend some time with her by ourselves,” Kiara said with a thick nasal hint.
“Don't blame the Vice President for keeping this from you. He was afraid you wouldn't be able to handle it, knowing you're also pregnant.”
“I know, I don't blame him. Please go out, and close the door behind you.”
Now alone with Beautiful Lady, Kiara slid her hand under the white cloth, stroking Beautiful Lady's short fur. She was painfully reminded of the joy and trouble it brought to her family since it had arrived.
“I was thinking, when Miss Wendy is born, I'd let you help her learn to walk. You were supposed to grow up with her. How could you leave so soon… I was even planning to give you an extra meal when you got back. You love boiled ribs? Eat as much as you want, I'll even give you the ones with the crunchy bones… but how could you–”
“Woof!” An offer involving ribs, was that really true?
“I am Mrs. Kiara, and Mrs. Kiara's word is gold,” Kiara responded as if she understood.
“Howl?” What if I dared you to add two more imported ham sticks?
“I even had someone bring back your favorite cheese cod sausage from overseas,” Kiara continued, oblivious to the anomaly. Suddenly, she paused, reaction kicking in, and she swiftly pulled away the white cloth to see Beautiful Lady with bandages around its belly, lying in its bed, giving her an appeasing tongue flick.
“Ah! Madame, you're here!”
Outside, an employee, holding a basin of dog food, greeted her warmly. The Vice President's beloved wife was highly recognizable, and everyone knew her.
Kiara and Beautiful Lady stared at each other, eyes wide, for quite some time. As the employee set down the dog food in front of Beautiful Lady, he saw Kiara's tear-filled eyes and thought she was distressed over Beautiful Lady, so he offered some words of comfort.
“Madame, don't worry. We found a Veterinarian to check on it. The bad guys only scraped a large patch near its belly with their knife, but there's no danger. Just worried about infection, so it has to get some IV treatments for a few days. The Vice President was afraid you'd be distressed seeing it, so he temporarily had us take care of it in the kitchen. Rest assured, we're pampering it with the best of care, and we won't let our little hero miss out!”
“Hero?” Kiara glanced at Sophia Green and felt that this creature had just deliberately stayed silent to scare her, making her think it was really gone, only making a noise after she started crying. Tsk, such a drama queen!
“Yes! Our Beautiful Lady is a true hero. Those bad guys had their knives at her, but she refused to give in no matter what; truly a dog that has earned its honors!”
Relieved that Beautiful Lady was okay, Kiara still felt unsettled thinking about the white cloth draped over the doghouse just now. She squeezed a few words through gritted teeth.
“Why cover a healthy dog with a white cloth?”
“Oh, that…” An employee picked up the white cloth that had fallen on the ground, then said with a chuckle, “Sister-in-law, this is a bed sheet. We covered her with it to keep her warm; how did this little rascal end up on top of it?”
The brand-new bed sheet, not even used by herself, was given to Beautiful Lady. Wasn't it out of affection for this miraculous dog? Beautiful Lady didn't lose out at all here; everyone loved her, and she even gained a few pounds while recovering, with extra meals every day and constant company.
Mario Yuno, who had heard the news and arrived, stood outside the door for a while and only spoke when he saw no signs of Kiara getting angry.
Mario Yuno walked over, helped Kiara to stand up, “I didn't mean to hide it from you; I was just afraid it would hurt your heart to see.”
Zenith Kyan, that sneaky “double agent,” brought Kiara here and then, worried about causing disharmony in the Vice President's family, hastily went to tattle, prompting Mario Yuno to hurry over in time.
“You're worried about me being upset but not worried it might be uncomfortable here?”
Kiara gave him a look, and the kitchen staff next to her couldn't accept that.
“Madame, we haven't mistreated the war hero at all. Look, all of the patient's meals are fresh!”
Kiara smiled at him, “I'm not blaming you all; everyone has worked hard. I'll buy a couple of pigs out of my own pocket later to treat everyone to a meal as thanks for taking such good care of my Beautiful Lady.”
“We're only doing what we should… Madame, you won't hold this against our Vice President, right? If so, we can skip the extra meals, just don't argue with the Vice President and make him kneel and scrub the washboard or anything.”
Mario Yuno kicked the guy, “Get back to cooking! Do I look like the kind of man who kneels and scrubs washboards?”
The worst he would get was cleaning windows or mopping the floor!
In the end, Beautiful Lady was taken back home by Kiara. Mario Yuno vividly described to her how Beautiful Lady had proved its valor.
When Kiara heard about Beautiful Lady facing danger without cowering, she was deeply moved and cuddled Beautiful Lady tenderly, while Mario Yuno smiled.
Good, although the journey was rough, the outcome was satisfying.
“You, go clean the windows,” Kiara ordered Mario Yuno and then tenderly said to Beautiful Lady, “Do you want to eat cod intestines?”
Underpants!
Camden felt provoked.
Both had shown bravery; why was he punished with window cleaning while Beautiful Lady got delicious treats?
“What are you looking at! You failed to protect Beautiful Lady, leading to Our Home's dog getting hurt first, and then you hid Beautiful Lady's injury from me; do you think getting punished with window cleaning is unjust?”
“Not… unjust…” Mario Yuno looked mournfully at Kiara's belly.
Forget it, your belly's big, you're right!
