Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 928 The Pot Calling the Kettle Black

“Princess, I’m sure you can empathize with the hardships a mother has to go through to transform from a spoiled little princess into a strong, independent woman. I’m glad you survived. You’re fortunate to have met me. Do you know that?

But we don’t know if mommy will be as lucky as you. So, in the future, you need to accompany her if she’s at a low point in life. Take care of her so that she won’t get sick like you, okay?” As Jamie babbled, Princess simply stuck its tongue out and panted happily. Then, it tilted its head, paying attention to anything but him.

“You little brat!” He could not help but hold its head and force it to look at him instead of its surroundings. He was still complaining even as he was gently holding its head. “How dare you ignore me, huh? The moment you’ve slightly recovered, you already act like you don’t know me! I was the one taking care of you all time too!”

Princess wagged her tail harder and even snorted as if she understood Jamie’s complaint. Jamie laughed at Princess’ reaction instead of becoming angry. He cradled her in the crook of his arms and swayed slightly. “You are just like her, always deliberately testing my patience.”

“How’s Princess today?” Narissa greeted him as she entered through the door. Jamie snapped his eyes open as he did not anticipate her to return so early. He momentarily froze mid-action before quickly releasing Princess from his arms. He rose to his feet sheepishly, moved a little to the side, and bowed. “Young Miss Narissa.”

Narissa hummed in response. Then, she squatted on the side of the bed and lightly stroked the dog’s head. “Princess, did you miss me?”

The moment Princess saw her, it acted entirely different from that when Jamie was accompanying it. It became highly attentive, rather than ignoring the person right before it. Not only was it smiling, but it also pushed its head against Narissa’s palm, demanding pats. Jamie looked at the scene with unconcealed jealousy. Then, just as he was about to comment about Princess’ double standard, he saw the fatigue flowing from Narissa’s eyes and became worried.

Hence, he asked gently, “Princess has been very obedient and cooperative with the treatment. Young Miss Narissa, you look tired. Are you alright?”

Narissa let out a deep sigh upon hearing that. “I know I should feel happy to be able to meet my old friends, but I don’t know why I’m feeling this way. Like… something is missing.”
