Chapter 99: VERONICA'S EMOTIONS

"!!!" Veronica's eyes widened in shock. She felt a sharp pain shooting all over her body before making her body grow numb. She couldn't stand anymore and fell onto the hot sandy ground.

The cat seemed to notice her unusual behavior and asked her cautiously, "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Veronica couldn't speak or breathe. Her brain stopped working as well. The tremendous pain paralyzed her completely.

The cat was looking at her but something else caught his eyes. He was startled.

He panicked, "Oh no!  A cougar is coming toward us. We have to leave. Hurry!"

A successful and opportunistic predator, the cougar will eat any animal it can catch, from insects to large ungulates. A cat wouldn't be spared either.

Veronica's head spun. She didn't even hear what he just said.

The cat nudged her body, urging her to run but she was unable to move.
