Chapter 259: Top-tier Lawyer Team

“Alexander Summers, you bastard! Cleo isn’t sick at all!” After leaving the veterinary clinic, Purple Summers couldn’t hold back her anger and began cursing!
Cleo wasn’t sick; it was shedding its skin!
Alexander had kept Cleo for many years and knew the symptoms of shedding very well, but he deliberately lied to her!
Purple stomped her feet in frustration.
She had felt so guilty and upset for Cleo, and Alexander had chosen to say things that pierced her heart, making her cry. He was intentionally teasing her! What a jerk!
Alexander laughed out loud in the car.
“How is it not sick?” After laughing, Alexander continued to tease her excitedly, “You obviously didn’t listen carefully to what the doctor said. The doctor said Cleo is way too overweight. It has obesity. I told you before only to feed it once a month. What about you?”
He wasn’t wrong. Snakes usually shed their skin between May and August. It was just that the space in their villa was warm due to the air conditioning, and Purple had provided Cleo with plenty of food, which caused Cleo to shed its skin in the fall and winter seasons.
But Purple still felt like she had been played, so she ignored Alexander all the way home.
When they returned home, the living room had been cleaned, and there was no strange odor anymore.
Purple couldn’t wait to complain to Atra Blanc.
“It’s shedding its skin?” Atra blinked her eyes and went closer to the python, looking at it from the left and right. “Is it really okay?”
“Yes, it’s just shedding its skin.” Purple relayed what the doctor had said to Atra, “Before shedding, snakes usually don’t eat or move. A few days before shedding, their eyes will turn a lighter color, like smoky blue, and they will temporarily lose their sight. The color of their scales will also become darker… Alexander knew it was shedding and still deliberately scared me!”
Alexander couldn’t help but laugh again at her side.
He thought Purple looking angry, all ruffled up, and helpless was just too adorable.
Atra scolded Alexander on Purple’s behalf, “Why would you deceive her like that? Your sister is already so softhearted. You made her worry for no reason! And making that trip to the hospital, even Cleo had to suffer unnecessary trouble.”
“If I don’t scare her once, she won’t learn her lesson, and she’ll end up killing it sooner or later.” Alexander said, “I’m doing this for her own good, so she won’t regret it in the future.”
“If you truly cared about me, you wouldn’t have let me keep it! You should have taken care of it yourself!” Purple was fuming.
Alexander shamelessly said, “Fine, I’ll take care of it. When I’m not home, you can take care of it.”
What’s the difference between that and the current situation?!
Purple was exasperated.
Despite her anger, she did remember what Alexander had said.
The next time she looked after Cleo, she was more cautious and careful, not daring to slack off.
Maybe it was her guilt that took over. Although she was still a bit afraid, she gritted her teeth and managed to do some hands-on care.
Since the doctor mentioned that Cleo would continue to grow after shedding its skin and the current space was too small, their family of three decided to empty out the guest room and set it up specially for Cleo to live in.
The heating and air conditioning were on 24 hours a day, and they placed basins of water and thick branches in the room, closed the doors and windows, making it dark and warm, which was a comfortable snake house.
To be honest, except for the frightening appearance, Cleo was very well- behaved and easy to care for, compared to Tiny, who was constantly causing mischief. Purple almost received complaints from Atra every day, saying that Tiny was bothering stray cats in the backyard, almost plucking their tails bald.
Purple reflected on herself, thinking that just as people shouldn’t judge others by appearance, she shouldn’t have judged pets by their looks either.
From then on, she decided to treat all pets fairly.
On Saturday and Sunday, Purple spent the entire two days tending to Cleo’s snake house, striving to provide it with the best environment for shedding its skin, so much so that she completely forgot to pay attention to the latest headlines on the internet.
Her delightful achievement, which was only posted for one day, was quickly replaced by another piece of news.
