Chapter 237
Chubby, of course, remembered. Just thinking of that plump Dollar reminded him of the trouble they had gotten into together, and his face turned even redder.
Seeing him nod. Nyx sighed lightly. “Dollar is sick, and I want to go to Earth to visit it.”
Dollar was seriously ill. She wanted to treat Dollar.
It had developed a tumor, which had spread, and after some treatment, the effect was very limited, almost as if it had been sentenced to death.
When they contacted Nyx, the boss appeared on video, his shoulders shaking as he cried uncontrollably.
Of course, he was willing to spend any amount of money to treat Dollar, but the veterinary technology on Earth was limited. and it seemed he could only accompany Dollar through its final days, waiting for death to come.
Six years had passed, and while humans had not changed much, the Beastmen were essentially the same as before, enough to cause Dollar, once in its prime, to enter old age.
From the moment the boss adopted Dollar, he had prepared for separation, but when that day truly arrived, it was still hard
to acceps.
Chubby’s expression changed from embarrassment to shock, followed by intense sadness. He clutched his clothes tightly. “I want to see Dollar too
“Nyx, we want to go too.” Sky and Ash also remembered Dollar.
Although they hadn’t spent much time with it, Dollar had been there when they hatched, always waiting by their side. They all remembered in
This was the cubs first confrontation with the illness and death of a close friend.
They were deeply saddened, but much stronger than Nyx had expected. After a brief moment of sorrow, they quickly picked themselves up, busily preparing small gifts for Dollar.
“Nyx is the best, so she will definitely cure Dollar.” They still trusted their mother as they always had.
Nyx also hoped she could live up to their expectations.
Over the years, she had studied veterinary theory and practice at the Imperial Military Academy. After obtaining her veterinary license, she had often helped rescue wild animals, gaining plenty of experience in treating them.
As for Dollar’s condition, while she couldn’t say she was 100% sure, there was at least a 90% chance of a cure.
From the moment she received the news, Nyx had been preparing tirelessly.
After six years, Earth was still under the protection of the Beastmen Empire, with many Beastmen Empire ships and starships patrolling nearby, ensuring safety throughout the journey.
Therefore, Nyx didn’t plan to make a big fuss about the trip and would only travel with Theon and Erik.
Just before her departure, Aurelius followed her. “Nyx, I’ll go with you.”
Nyx looked at him in surprise. “Aren’t you very busy lately?”
Emperor had already decided to abdicate and formally pass the throne to Aurelius, so he should be preparing for his succession

Aurelius, the soon–to–be Emperor, transformed into a little white cat, stretching lazily and resting his head on the lap of Nyx. “It’s exactly because I’m so busy that I want to take a break for a while.”
Of course, the real reason wasn’t as simple as that. He mainly stayed to accompany Nyx.
Although the chance of success for the treatment was higher, the possibility of failure wasn’t negligible. If it failed, Nyx would be very upset, and he would have to stay by her side to comfort her. He was willing to be the substitute for that fat
Nyx subtly guessed Aurelius thoughts and, touched, kissed the little car’s head twice.
Immediately, a fluffy Tale Wolf peeked over, pushing the little white cat aside.
The little white cat reflexively bared his teeth, claws extended, but upon realizing it wasn’t Erik but the innocent–looking Ash, he reluctantly calmed down.
He turned and glared at Erik, his deep blue eyes filled with anger. He knew it was Erik’s teaching. Over the years, Erik had often competed with him for Nyx’s affection, always using his son Ash as an excuse,
Erik spread his hands and shrugged. He thought. Yep, it is intentional. So what?
Nyx saw their little antics and shook her head helplessly.
They’d been together for so many years, yet the clingy males at home still fought over a hug or kiss from her. There were no major conflicts, but the little frictions never stopped, and it had never changed.
Nyx ruffled Ash’s head a few times, and then pulled Sky over to give it a pet, and then hugged Chubby.
After giving each of the cubs a bit of attention, she waved at her mates, trying to keep the balance. “Come, let me groom your fur
The golden–haired lion eagerly approached first.
Seeing this, Aurelius and Erik stopped their bickering and obediently squatted beside Nyx.
The ship soon filled with the warm scent of fur oil, mixed with the faint fragrance of scale maintenance lotion.
Nyx felt her mind calm, her tense emotions slowly relaxing.
In Arkham on Earth, the cold smell of disinfectant filled the entire villa, and the boss silently squatted outside the door, waiting for Dollar’s chemotherapy to end. He couldn’t bring himself to go inside and look at it.
He had hired the best veterinarian available to treat Dollar, but after the first surgery, Dollar visibly began to wither. Each chemotherapy session felt like a trial.
Once a plump Dollar, now it was almost skin and bones.
Upon close inspection, he could see its body visibly heaving as it struggled to breathe.
Day after day, the boss watched Dollar’s condition deteriorate, unsure if it would survive the next round of chemotherapy.
The sound of the doctor’s footsteps came from behind, and the boss quickly stood to greet him, his eyes filled with fear and hope.
Even though the doctor had seen countless owners part with their pets, he still gently comforted the boss with a white lie. “Dollar is doing great; it made it through this round too.”

The boss let out a long sigh of relief. He thanked the doctor profusely, giving a generous tip on top of the already high medical fees.
The doctor found it uncomfortably improper, so he repeatedly refused to take it.
“The fact that he won’t take your money means Dollar’s condition isn’t good. It’s very unlikely it will recover, the friend said after the doctor left.
The boss knew this himself. Though it was true, he didn’t want to hear it. He didn’t show it on his face, but his expression turned cold
The friend, however, didn’t know when to stop and continued. “I think rather than wasting money on a futile effort, you should just let it live out its last days with good food and care.
“You can’t spend your whole life just keeping a cat, right? You need to find a human partner. The friend’s true intentions were revealed. “My sister is still single, and you two know each other well. What do you think of her?”
The boss furrowed his brows, Tm against marriage. I thought you knew that.”
Well, I’m just
m just worried you’ll be lonely. At least you used to have a cat, but what about in the future?” The friend chuckled awkwardly.
“We’ll talk about the future later. Right now, I just want to stay with Dollar” the boss barely held back his anger and didn’t yell at his friend. “Its condition might still improve. I’ve already contacted Nyx, and she promised to help me.”
“What?” The friend was stunned. “For a cat, you’d go to Nyx for help? Someone as important as her would never lower herself to come to Earth for something like this.”
