Chapter 761 How can this be? (1/2)

While Yue Ling prepares her heart to try on the many wedding dresses, Lu Tian did not stay home. He got dressed and left the house as there was something he needed to do.

Since his wife was going to be out for a while, he decided to go to Imperial Military hospital to visit Grandfather Ji. He wanted to check on how the old man is doing.

Just as he entered through the sliding glass doors, a gust of cold wind entered with him. It was as cold as the look on his face and made anyone in contact with him want to run away.

”Wroof! Wroof!”

As the glass doors behind him automatically shut, he heard a familiar sound from the side followed by the thumping of pawprints.

He turns his head to look in the direction it came from and the cold aura around him breaks loose.

Watching a white fluff ball pounce towards him, his lip that never seems to smile at anyone other than his wife slowly arcs up. It forms an exceedingly small smile but enough for anyone to see.

”Inu.”

He squats down to be at eye level with the Samoyed and pats the little guy on the head.

”It's good to see you too little guy.”

He hates to admit it, but the past few days without Inu had been quite lonely. Seeing the little guy, he was actually happy.

Inu does back away but allows his enemy to pet his head. However, it was only for a second. He moves his head and looks around the aloof man as if searching for a certain person.

Noticing this, Lu Tian sounds a faint chuckle. He stood up and felt a little pity for the little guy.

”Sorry buddy, it's just me.”

Like he understood his nemesis, Inu lowers his head and whimpers sadly. He couldn't help but glance at the glass door in hopes of seeing his favorite human, but he knew that it was just his wishful thinking.

Making up his mind, he turns away and walks back in the direction he had come from. Only this time, his steps were slow with a heavy heart.

Lu Tian watched the fluff ball and didn't know whether to laugh or cry. For some odd reason, he felt like a villain who was keeping two lovers from meeting each other.

”Oh, I was wondering why Inu suddenly ran off.”

An old voice chuckles heartily and Lu Tian looks up. He sees two elderly men walking his way. One wearing a hospital gown while the other one wore a white doctor's coat.

As they near him, he nods politely and greets them.

”Grandfather Ji. Doctor Dong.”

Coming to a step near Lu Tian, both elderly men nod their heads in response. They were taking a walk around the hospital when Inu suddenly ran off.

Now that they see Lu Tian here, it must mean Inu was able to smell the young man and thought Yue Ling would be here too.

Inu pays no attention to Lu Tian and walks over to Grandfather Ji's side. He plops down to sit and lowers his head even more.

Seeing the little guy this way, Grandfather Ji felt his heartache. Inu was always energetic and full of life. Now he looked like an abandoned soul.

He (Grandfather Ji) bends down and pat the Samoyed on the head.

”Don't be sad. You'll be able to see her soon.”

Although sad, Inu rubs his head on the palm of his second favorite human. He may not be able to see his mother, but he still has the old man.

Lu Tian watched the scene in front of him and was at a loss for words. Inu's temperament around him was completely different from how he (Inu) is with Grandfather Ji.

He is able to pet and plays with the little guy but sometimes he feels Inu drawing a line between them.

It was as if Inu was always telling him, 'you can get close to me but not too close.'

Shaking his head, he brushes the thoughts to the back of his head. He looks at Doctor Dong and slightly frowns.

”Is it alright with him being here? I thought hospitals have a strict restriction on prohibiting pets in the facilities.”

Doctor Dong had been standing at the side with both hands in his coat pockets. When he heard Lu Tian's words, he blinked his eyes then looks around in confusion.

”Pets? There's a pet here in the hospital? Where?”

His head lowers and he looks at Inu. A smiles curls on his face and he chuckles heartily.

”Inu is always welcome here. He is family and everyone here adores his company.”

Lu Tian was relieved to hear that Inu was able to be here. He had only asked because he was worried others would find Inu a nuisance at the hospital since some places do not allow pets.

”I see. As long as there is no trouble.”

He spoke his words like he was considerate of others, but deep down, there was another meaning. If he finds out anyone here was treating Inu badly, he will make sure they wish they were never born.

Looking at Inu for another second, he looks at Grandfather Ji.
