Chapter: 1029

Katie then sat upright and wiped her face with her front paw.

Victor bent down to pick her up. Katie immediately arched her back, her fur stood on end. When she realized that the hand belonged to

Victor, she relaxed and nestled comfortably in the crook of his arm.

Victor looked intently at Katie while stroking her soft and white fur with the other hand from time to time.

Reaching the second floor, Rachel went straight into Joey's room.

Joey was sleeping soundly. His quilt covered him from his waist down.

Rachel thought that Joey felt hot in his sleep so he pushed down his quilt. The heating in the room was on and the windows were closed.

Rachel walked to the bed to tuck Joey into the quilt.

When Rachel stood up, she noticed that the bedroom door was ajar.

Someone had cracked it open but it was softly that Rachel wasn't sure if she heard the sound. She got a bit alarmed as she had been on tenterhooks all the time since she knew that Victor hadn't left the Sue Garden.

Rachel walked hurriedly to the door to see if someone was outside.

She thought it would be Victor.

Seeing no one, Rachel started walking toward Joey's bed.

Rachel pursed her pink lips. She thought she was feeling unnecessarily suspicious when she felt something tagging her trousers.

She looked down and saw Katie standing at her feet.

"Meow!" Katie stopped at what she was doing and held her head up.

She meowed as though she was telling Rachel that she would welcome her touch.

Rachel then thought that she hadn't closed the door properly so Katie was able to get inside the room. Cats moved quietly and that was the reason Rachel didn't hear Katie. Rachel laughed at the thought as she bent down to pick Katie up.

"Are you here to play with Joey?" Rachel asked as she scratched

Katie behind the ears.

"Meow!" Katie loved being petted so she closed her eyes and made a gurgling sound.

"Well, sorry. You came at a bad time. Joey is asleep," Rachel told the cat.

"You know, I just bought cat food on the Internet a few days ago. I think it has arrived. Let's go to my room to open the package and you can have a taste."

Rachel looked at Joey and then walked out with Katie in her arms.

Once inside her room, Rachel put Katie down. She looked for a pair of scissors so she could open the packages. One of these should contain Katie's food.
