Chapter 93 It Isn’t Dead Yet
Joseph stared at her intensely, his anger rising as he let out a sarcastic laugh. “Did you ask me to pick you up?”
“Would you have if I had asked?” she shot back.
Joseph fell silent. The answer was no. But if he had known that Chloe could not get a ride and had to be brought home by another man, he would have gone to get her. After all, this woman was so foolish that she would not realize if someone was going to harm
her.
Seeing that he was unresponsive, Chloe had her answer. She forced a bitter smile, turned around, and headed toward the residential area.
Joseph frowned and handed her the leash.
Chloe looked at the leash and asked, “What do you mean by this?”
“I haven’t walked the dog yet today,” he said.
“You haven’t walked the dog this late?!” Chloe exclaimed.
“Well, you should’ve come back earlier,” he replied curtly.
Chloe took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to argue with him. She grabbed the leash and headed toward the garden at the back of the residential area.
Toto yelped in protest, “Please don’t do this! I’ve already walked ten laps!”
As Chloe strolled with Toto in their usual spot, she noticed that it seemed exhausted. It seemed to her that Toto had been walking for a long time as it was panting heavily.
“Is your stomach still upset, Toto?” she asked with concern.
“Woof! Woof! Woof!” Toto barked in response, protesting that it was not the case and that it was just tired from all the walking.
Chloe did not know what to do since Toto refused to take another step. After scanning her surroundings and determining that there was no one in the vicinity, she decided to release the leash. “Go for a little walk on your own, and then we’ll head back home.”
However, Toto did not run around and play like it usually did, choosing instead to just lie at Chloe’s feet. She could not help but worry that Toto’s stomach was acting up
again.
Just when she bent down to check on it, a large dog suddenly leaped out from the greenery and pounced on Toto. Chloe was startled and took several steps back. At first, she thought it was the same Golden Retriever they had encountered before. But when Toto growled, she realized that something was wrong. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that it was a German Shepherd that was attacking Toto!
In an instant, the two dogs were locked in a vicious fight, biting and clawing at each other. Chloe was stunned. Although Toto was intelligent for a Border Collie, it did not stand a chance against a German Shepherd in a fight.
She tried to rush over and grab Toto’s collar to separate the two dogs, but every time she touched the collar, she was thrown off and almost got herself injured several times.
As Toto’s stamina waned, the German Shepherd took advantage of the opportunity and pounced, viciously tearing into its flesh. She was at a loss for how to handle the situation since she had no experience raising dogs.
She wanted to call Joseph for help, but before she could do so, a middle-aged man sauntered over, lazily calling out the German Shepard’s name.
“Is this your dog?” Chloe asked.
“Yeah,” he replied, watching the two dogs fight without any intention of stopping them. He complained, “Why isn’t your dog on a leash?”
“Your dog ran over first. Also, don’t talk about that right now. Get your dog away,” Chloe said.
“Why don’t you do it?” he shot back. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
“If I could separate them, I wouldn’t have asked you!” Chloe watched helplessly as Toto’s thigh was bitten and blood oozed out. She could not help but yell at the Hurry up, your dog has injured my dog!”
man,
The man reluctantly came over and pulled the German Shepherd away. “It’s not like it killed your dog. Why are you yelling so loudly?”
Chloe’s fingers trembled as she turned on her flashlight to examine Toto’s wounds. Hearing the man’s disdainful remark, she suddenly stood up and lashed out, “I may not have had the leash on, but I made sure there were no people around before letting my dog go.
“What about you? Where were you when your dog ran over? If you can’t keep up with a dog because you’re old, then you shouldn’t have one as a pet!”
The man grew even more upset at her words, glaring at her with a fierce and menacing expression. “Say that again. I dare you!”
