Chapter 1067
She placed the little furball on the couch before gently stroking its head. With narrowed eyes, it enjoyed
her touch comfortably.
Right then, its ears pricked up as though she heard something. Ruka told, “I‘ll leave it to you, Callie.”
She knew that she should not disturb it when it was on its mission to chase the rat out. Leaving the cat
with its mission, she closed the door and informed the maids not to open it for the time being. Losing
the little furball when the rat had not been caught yet was the last thing she hoped for.
Ruka returned to her room to read some books. In the meantime, a maid, who was headed downstairs
after cleaning, was doing her duty by the door of the study room. Her job was to clean every single
room and so she opened the door and carried a bucket of water toward the windows to wipe them.
At that moment, a fleeing rat squirmed out of a corner with a cat hot on its heels. Both of them went
outside through the open door.
After spending an hour reading, Ruka reckoned that little furball might have scared the rat enough.
With the hope that the rat might run out of the room on its own the moment she opened the door, she
decided to take a look at the situation.
Ruka reached the closed door that led to the study room. Stretching out her hand, she opened the door
and quickly closed it behind her after entering. She listened attentively to the surroundings. Why is it so
quiet?
“Meow!” She meowed to draw the little furball‘s attention.
Still, the room was in total silence and there was no meowing sound of a cat. Ruka‘s heart pounded
rapidly as she wondered, Where is that little furball?
She began to search every nook and cranny of the room–beneath the couch, behind the curtains and
atop the book racks with the help of a ladder, Yet, Callie was nowhere to be seen.
