"Little Miss I know you have your reason, but you shouldn"t have angered the stable master" Dr. Cyan reproved the young Missus as soon as he closed the laboratory"s room. He instantaneously leaned on one corner of the white walls and watched the girl as she stepped in with so much dismay and annoyance all over her face."But Dr. Cye, the horses cannot drink the water" Xhemin reasoned out as she gave the doctor a tight and worried glance.
"I know…" He said, and it sounded desperate and a little hesitant, a plea for Xhemin to consider this thing just this time.
Dr. Cyan understood the child"s concern and to be honest he himself was dissatisfied with their current situation. Nevertheless, whatever the case maybe, the little missus was always his priority. "But I"d rather see the horses die than seeing you hurt. You are far too important than the horses"
"I wasn"t hurt at all" Xhemin a.s.sured him as she did wacky things with her eyebrows— a sign of her mounting annoyance over the earlier incident.
"What the heck is stable master"s problem?" she thought.
"But you were about to!" The doctor chided on her.
"The stable master is being unreasonable…" Xhemin answered trying to pa.s.s the blame to the hostile stable master.
Ever annoyed as she was, she turned her back against Dr. Cyan and walked further into the room. She bent over the pile of doc.u.ments in her own workstation to get a stack of papers before she spied a chair and eased herself down the table "I was just asking them not to let the horses drink the water"
"But the stable master is the master of the barn" The doctor continued with a heavy head. Their situation in the mansion was getting worse than he thought, he can"t help but pressed his fingers in the bridge of his nose in attempt to clear out his distress "Oh, it"s rather my fault I haven"t warned you about him"
"I don"t really care about him, I care about the horses" She said calmly now and offered to Dr. Cyan the stack of papers she just handpicked and scrutinized.
"Well you should. In the barns, the stable master is the law and he have a very bad temper so please don"t mess up with him like that ever again. I might not be able to rescue you the next time around" Implored Dr. Cyan whose words were compounded by a deliberate sigh of helplessness. He then reached out his arms to get the papers Xhemin wanted him to see.
"But what about the horses? They should have given them milk instead of water," she blurted out. "Look at this report; I put in here precisely the things that shouldn"t be given to the horses in each stages of the Staw disease. Water is one of the forbidden if the horse is at their 4th stage."
Realizing the fatality of making the horses have water, Dr. Cyan swallows through a dry throat. He was scratching the thickness of his hair on his forearm before he answered "As of this moment, we can really do nothing about this"
"Did you know that they brought in new horses—a very important horse?"
"Nope. You knew we are not in the position to know that these days. Piper Xu might even take this lab room from me any moment now." Declared doctor Cyan bitterly.
Ever since Piper Xu took over, his position as one of the veterinarians failed miserably. Not only did Dr. Xu changed his a.s.signments and purposely withheld important notices from him, she also successfully made him feel useless under the impending circ.u.mstances.
"Well they just did, just so you know"
"And?" he stared at the girl waiting for the worst to come.
"They are all sick, if they had drunk a good amount of water this afternoon, they are all going to die tomorrow"
"Well…" He choked before he replied, in a pretend chill, brittle voice he tried to answer badly "That"s bad news…I"m afraid we can do nothing for now"
"We can"t let them die, specially that Black Morgan stallion"" Xhemin protested.
"Little Miss, I"m really sorry but we don"t have any access to the horses now" explained the doctor apologetically.
"The black Morgan stallion belongs to the Lagdameo heir. If it dies, the lady boss is doomed!" She revealed phrasing her words carefully, hoping the information would somehow change the doctor"s sentiment.
"The Lagdameo heir?" Another revelation caused the doctor"s nerves go frantic.
"I just suspected it, but I"m ninety percent sure!"
"How did you know that?" In a surprise manner, he asked.
"Let"s just say I have my sources. But please we need to check on that black Morgan stallion whatever it takes us"
"That"s impossible Little Miss, I mean the Lagdameo heir has nothing to do with this place"
"But this the only place where some of the horses were cured"
The doctor paused for the Little Miss was absolutely right. Even if their activities here in the mansion were all kept confidential—nothing can be kept a secret to the Lagdameo"s. They must have known about the cure and made a deal to save their own breed of horses.
"Are you certain that it is a Lagdameo horse?" He asked, still with doubt on his face.
"My guts tell me so" She lied referring to her intuition when her belief about such fact had basis. She herself knew that the beast was here—and maybe was still here roaming around the property.
The doctor looked at the girls face that flaunted so much confidence and a.s.surance.
"There"s no way a Lagdameo"s horse can be here", he thought.
However, the Little Miss must surely have a basis for the things she claimed for and this made him uncomfortable. The thought got him thinking for quite amount of time while silence embodied the place.
"Okay" he settled, after thinking through everything "I"ll find a way but please Little Miss if I say we have to abandon the plan then we have to" He said as he was considering the absurd possibility of sneaking into the barn to see if he could do something.
"Okay fine. But promise me we have to try at least" She said persuasively.
"Right" Dr. Cyan nodded in agreement to the Little Missus" request although still blind on what he needed to do in order to get a hold of the Lagdameo horse.
