Chapter 833: Official Insult
At the vet.
There were many people who raised pets in the Villa area, and most of them had expensive pets. Hence, a vet doctor opened up a vet here. It was well set up, and it was furnished to look really exquisite. Zhong Ran took the receipts that stated large sums of money to the counter to pay the fees.
Ah Da said, “It’s not even this expensive when I visit the doctors.”
“The registration fee alone is $300. You can register for a whole year.” Zhong Ran cursed. “What an immoral veterinary hospital. Are you kidding me? Getting his temperature checked costs $200. I already said that I had measured his temperature when we were home. Would the number change if he was measured again?”
“Poor Burger!”
Other than the registration fee and the temperature measurement, Burger got an injection, and it cost almost $2000.
Zhong Ran looked at Burger longingly. “Burger, please don’t fall sick again.”
It is more expensive to bring you to the vet than it is to buy another cat. If you fall sick again, we will just get rid of you in the future.
Ah Da said, “Do you even know pets? Burger is worth at least 10,000.”
“A trip to the vet costs 2000! Don’t you think that’s outrageous?”
“Indeed!”
The vet looked kind. He looked like an experienced doctor who had retired. He wore round glasses and seemed like a professor of some sort. Tong Hua asked, “What happened to Burger?”
“It’s the flu season. It’s a normal cold,” the vet said.
“He’ll be fine after the injection right?”
“Definitely,” The doctor said.
Tong Hua was relieved to hear that. Burger looked lifeless. The doctor said, “Should we conduct a blood test to do a full-body checkup?”
“Pets can go through full-body checkups?” Zhong Ran was flabbergasted.
“Of course!”
“Do it then.”
The checkup bill was $2000. Zhong Ran could spit out blood. Being poor has indeed ruined my image!
The full-body checkup was done rather quickly. Burger looked really pitiful, and Tong Hua was very patient. The doctor looked at the results and adjusted his glasses. He looked really serious. The assistant doctor by the side smiled at Tong Hua and asked, “Baby Tong Hua, would you like to send Burger for cosmetic surgery? We can give you a 20% discount. Have you done vaccinations for it? Do you need cat food? There is some imported cat food here that have some special minerals in them. It is best suited for cats with weak stomachs.”
“Yes!”
“… ” Zhong Ran was shocked.
Burger, you are such a wastrel!
The old doctor looked at the report for really long. “Something’s not right about your… cat.”
“What’s wrong?” Tong Hua was anxious. Burger can’t be dying, huh?
Zhong Ran got anxious as well. Although it was a wastrel, they could afford to raise it. It could not die.
“There’s something wrong with its respiratory system. There are some problems with its digestive system as well.”
“Right. He had no appetite these past two days, and he barely ate,” Zhong Ran said.
“Are there any changes with the environment it lives in?”
“No changes. He has always been healthy. He can jump and run around. He’s very playful.”
“Are there any changes to the cat litter?”
“He sleeps with me. There are no changes in my room. Oh, right. We have a new flower. Does it affect him?”
“Of course it does,” the doctor said. “Is the scent of the flower strong?”
“Pretty strong.”
“Cats are very sensitive to scents. This scent might be very unsuitable for him.”
“No!” Tong Hua said. “We have lots of fresh flowers in our garden at home. The entire castle is enshrouded with the smell of flowers. He has been living here for so long as well, so why wasn’t there an issue before? This has nothing to do with the scent, does it?”
“Then it must be this specific flower!”
Zhong Ran said, “No. Doctor, you’re so naggy. Are you okay? You wrote these hefty bills, and a body checkup costs $2000. Poking the thermometer up his butt cost $200. Now you are saying that there’s an issue with the flower. Are you a quack? Do the authorities know how your prices are fixed at?”
