Chapter 493: Houseguests (3)
Seb widened his eyes as he questioned Dora slowly," You mean you’ll be living here- as in, in this country, with Nora and Demon right?"
Dora quickly shook her head at that," Nah."
"Then you want to live with Lucy? He’s going to be your brother in law, right?"
"Nah! Lucien is great but no. I’m going to live with you and Olivia. You are going to have babies soon. I can stay here and help you out. Have you started with nursery preparations? What about clothing and toys? Since I cannot have a younger sibling, I am going to dote on your kids. You can adopt me directly if you want or name me their Godsister, I won’t mind. Also..."
Before either of them could respond, a low whine emanated from one of the dogs. Olivia’s heart sank as she noticed the poor animal curling up, clearly in distress. She hurried over to the dog, kneeling beside it to check for any obvious signs of illness or injury.
"Dora, sweetie, Kitten here seems unwell," Olivia said softly, her brow furrowed with worry. "Did you notice any symptoms before?"
Dora’s face fell as she rushed over to the dog, her concern mirroring Olivia’s. "No, I didn’t notice anything earlier. She seemed perfectly fine when we left the palace," she replied, her voice tinged with worry.
Just then, the little dog let out another distressed whine making Seb frown harder. Gently, he rubbed the dog’s belly. And then, as if in response to Gaia’s distress, the other dog, who had been lounging lazily until now, suddenly sprang to attention, emitting a series of sharp barks before sneezing loudly.
Seb’s brows furrowed, his senses on high alert as he scanned the room for any clues. Could something here have triggered some response in the dogs? It was then that his sharp eyes caught sight of something amiss—a small spill on the floor a bit further away, next to a gift box that was now soaked in something that looked like oil.
