Over the next few days, Noran had been constantly bringing Snowball to Shuri's clinic.
This time, he said, "Snowball wouldn't eat and even cried in his sleep. I think he's sick."
Shik, standing nearby, was speechless. Snowball was currently wagging his tail furiously and trying to lick Shuri's face, behaving nothing like a sick dog.
Shuri had anticipated Noran's visit. Part of her was excited to see Snowball and Noran again, but she was also hesitant. She knew Noran was using Snowball as an excuse to see her, but she couldn't turn them down.
"I'll run another check on him. Please wait outside, Mr. Lee," she said, maintaining her professional demeanor.
Noran was secretly upset that Shuri still wouldn't admit remembering him and was treating him like a stranger.
His jaw tightened, and a flicker of pain crossed his eyes, but he couldn't do anything about it. He just nodded and left the consultation room quietly.
