Chapter 58 The Cat in the Rain
In order to bring these cats, the driver's clothes got wet, but he smiled happily and passed the cats in the clothes to Nancy as presenting a gift.
The driver was a straightforward and good-natured, middle-aged uncle. Once before, he also had a daughter like Nancy. She had suffered from leukemia at a young age. When he was desperate at that time, the Brook Family gave him this job and also subsidized him 1000 thousand dollars. In this way, he could cover the huge expenditure of the hospital fee.
Although his daughter still passed away in the end, before dying; he bought her favorite things to her, and she left happily.
Therefore, he was very grateful to the Brook Family, especially this Miss Nancy, who was the same age as his own daughter. Every time he saw her, he seemed to see his well-behaved daughter again; so he couldn't help but want to be nice to her.
There were people in the Brook Family who treated her well, Mr. Brook and his wife, the Elderly Mr. Brook, and even the eldest young master.
He was happy at the bottom of his heart to be able to help this little girl.
"Come in first." Nancy hurriedly asked him to get in the car and handed the driver the clean blanket that her big brother covered herself with.
"Uncle, quickly dry yourself. Don't catch a cold." The driver smiled brightly, put the cat wrapped in his clothes on his lap, then wiped his hair hurriedly.
"Uncle, you put the cat here." Nancy pointed at her feet. The space was large enough for it to be put down completely.
Quentin gently pecked Nancy's earlobe, thinking that why could he meet a cat, even if it was outside? Not to mention, was she still going to bring them home?
The little girl poked its feathers with a finger, signaling it not to make a fuss.
Hugging the clothes in his arms, the driver was hesitant. "This car..." It was expensive. What if it got dirty? he thought.
"What's wrong?" A cold and familiar voice sounded. The driver shivered as he looked at Marcus Brook, who was standing at the door with a black umbrella.
The stern man didn't look at him, but at Nancy. Seeing that she was still dry, he nodded with satisfaction, thinking that his sister was very obedient.
Relying on his small figure, Adam Brook got in the car a step ahead of Marcus Brook, sat down next to Nancy, squeezed her soft hand, and held them. So warm! He thought.
"What were you talking about just now?"
"Meow-" A faint cat's mewl voiced. At this moment, only realizing that a cat was held in the driver's hand, Adam Brook questioned, "Why is there a cat?"
Nancy carefully glanced at her big brother, who was bending over his body, and got into the car. Before she could speak, she was hugged by a pair of strong hands.
Marcus Brook lowered his gaze and looked at Adam Brook. "Move aside."
Adam Brook pouted and moved his butt to sit on the side. Anyway, he could sit next to his sister in the middle.
Marcus Brook put Nancy in the middle.
"Brother, there are cats." Her soft hands grabbed the palm of her elder brother and stared at him with blinking eyes.
"Do you want to raise them?"
Nancy looked at her big brother brightly, nodded obediently, and answered softly, "It's raining now. It's so pitiful for the mother cat and her baby to be caught in the rain."
Marcus swiped her little nose with his fingers, then ordered the driver, "Bring it here."
The driver responded quickly, and together with his coat, where the cats were inside, he put it beside Nancy's feet. The mother cat, drenched in the rain, didn't look attractive. Hiding its two kittens under its belly, shivering, it was too skinny.
Adam Brook threw a glance and disliked it. "It turns out that a cat is so ugly when it gets wet."
He was someone who only looks at the appearance.
Nancy was also watching eagerly. But, Marcus Brook lightly instructed, "Don't touch them."
The little girl nodded obediently. "Okay, I won't touch them."
"Go to the pet hospital first."
If Nancy wanted to raise them, then it was necessary for the cats to be dewormed, vaccinated, and given nail cuts. He did not allow anything that would harm Nancy. If these cats were obedient enough, he didn't mind keeping them. However, if they were wild, difficult to tame, and would hurt Nancy, he would find someone to send these cats out.
The car drove all the way to the pet hospital. When Marcus Brook got out of the car, he gave the driver a card. "Take it. Buy yourself a suit and change it."
Holding the card in his hand, the driver's eyes were full of gratitude. He kept this gratitude deep in his heart, thinking that he should hurry to buy a set of clothes to put on. If he caught a cold, he couldn't help Nancy and the Eldest Young Master to drive.
The mother cat and its kittens were soon taken away by the pet doctor for body examinations. The three sat on the sofa; Adam Brook held his mobile phone, teaching Nancy to play games.
She couldn't understand the games that were too complicated, but she liked the Fun Fest and Tetris very much. Adam Brook, who was frowning over his sister's naivety, at the same time, invited his friends to play the Fun Fest with her.
"Wow, brother! You're amazing!" Whenever he heard Nancy's compliment, he was always satisfied by the sincere look in her eyes.
"There isn't anything to brag about, easy-peasy." As he said that there was nothing to praise, he worked harder to clear the levels, Marcus Brook thought expressionlessly. By the way, having said that he hadn't seen him for half a month; it seemed that this younger brother of his is becoming more and more 'hypocritical'.
"Amazing, amazing!" Out of the blue, a strange voice came from Nancy, almost scaring Adam Brook to drop his phone.
With a horrified look in his eyes, only did he notice the small parrot, which was hiding in his sister's hair.
"Where did this bird come from?!" He breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that luckily it is okay as he thought that what happened to his sister's throat. The sound was terrible.
Curving her lips into a smile and scratching Quentin's chin, she chirped, "It flew to our house by itself. It's called Quentin."
Adam Brook looked at it curiously. "Hmm, this bird can talk? How about calling me 'young master'?"
Quentin rolled its eyes, spread its wings, and said, "Why are you calling me, young master?"
Adam Brook laughed, "You really know how to..."
Wait, it seemed that something was off.
"I see. How dare you take advantage of me!" Adam Brook glared at Quentin fiercely and reached his hands out to grab it.
Quentin fluttered its wings and flew away, screaming while flying. "Help, help, someone is hitting this young master!"
"Stop!"
"No, I won't!" The two were staring at each other.
Nancy supported her chin, watching the two for a while. Adam Brook, failing to catch Quentin, ended up coming back; cursing it and teaching Nancy to play games.
Nancy uttered, "Brother, don't bother Quentin."
Adam Brook cleared his throat. "Alright. I forgive it for your sake."
Quentin fluttered its wings, flying down. Just as it was about to say something, Nancy grabbed its mouth, ordering, "Don't bully my brother."
At this moment, Quentin instantly became quiet.
As if getting a victory, Adam Brook became proud, then pulled his sister and excitedly taught her how to play the game.
