Bab 496: Save the Kittens (II)

Kyle's heart lurched at seeing Sari like this.

He scooped her up in his arms and held her close to him as he ran to the nearest vet. 

Sari wanted to protest at first when she felt his strong arms reach down and lifted her off the ground. She wasn't that badly injured and she could walk.

Yet, the moment he lifted her up, with one arm below her knees and the other around her back, the protest died.

It was so surreal, being in his arms. As he held her close to his firm chest, she could hear his heartbeat and it sounded faster than normal.

Any thoughts of protest flew out the window.

She snuggled deeper into his embrace, feeling warm and safe despite still being pelted by the rain. She was holding onto the kittens, but she didn't feel scared at all being carried like that.

He was holding on to her so tightly that she didn't feel that she was in any danger of falling out of his embrace.
