[Just last week I saw a news report about a shady hospital in Yuncheng that caught stray cats and stole other people's pet cats to use as blood cats. Those poor blood cats were drained of their blood and died. Could this Mei's Pet Hospital be the same?]

When you spot a cockroach, there are already countless others. Think about where pet hospitals get their blood for transfusions. Pets don't have a blood donation system or blood bank like humans do; the hospital has to source all their blood. If they had to buy so many cats and dogs to provide blood, and then consider the animals' health when using them, and only draw a small amount of blood each time, the pet hospital would have gone bankrupt long ago! Naturally, they catch stray cats or steal other people's pet cats to use as blood banks, then discard any that die after the blood is drawn—that's the most cost-effective way!

[Vet hospitals are not charities. They are making huge profits and charging more than human hospitals. You can imagine how many industry insider stories like the one about Bloody Cat are there.]

[Oh my god, so the reason those cats and dogs' souls are surrounding Jian Meng is because she drained their blood?]

Although netizens in the live broadcast room couldn't stand Gu Jiayi biting Shi Ling and Luo Yuan, they hated the black-hearted hospital even more and kept urging Gu Jiayi to call the police and investigate the pet hospital.

When Jian Meng faced Gu Jiayi's questioning, she couldn't help but show a look of pain on her face as she thought of the animals she had euthanized with her own hands. "Can you really see that they are all by my side?"

Gu Jiayi finally felt superior to ordinary people, and an enigmatic smile appeared on her face. "Yes, there's a skinny black cat on your shoulder with a slightly white chin, and it's butting its head against your face. There's a tabby cat on your left, biting your finger... and there are many other cats of all kinds, all hitting or biting you with their claws. They must all hate you."

Jian Meng initially didn't quite believe what Gu Jiayi said, thinking she looked mentally unstable. But when she heard the characteristics of the cats around her, she couldn't hold back her tears any longer.

The staff members watching in the pet hospital were all stunned. They didn't expect that the usually calm Dr. Jian Meng would have such an emotional breakdown.

Jian Meng tilted her head to look over her shoulder and reached out to touch the invisible black cat. "Metal, is that really you? Are you all still here? Do you really hate me? Did I really do something wrong?"

In fact, every time she euthanized cats struggling with illness, she couldn't help but doubt herself: Is this really the right thing to do? Perhaps she should respect the laws of nature and let them slowly reach the end of their lives, rather than forcibly depriving them of their lives, self-righteously thinking that this is helping them end their suffering.

The cats and dogs she had sent away licked her hands gently before dying, their eyes filled with attachment to her. But she covered their eyes, injected them with a lethal drug, and watched as the warm and soft animals turned into cold corpses.

Each time, she kept a blank expression, seemingly numb, but every animal that died at her hands opened a new crack in her heart. Those cracks accumulated little by little, and she used to be able to comfort herself that she was doing this for the animals, but now Gu Jiayi's words, "They hate you," caused those cracks to spread like a landslide.

She hadn't been able to bear it for a long time.

She originally became a veterinarian to save those lovely animals, not to end their lives!

However, her pain and self-blame made Gu Jiayi extremely excited: "So you admit that it was you who killed those animals!" (End of this chapter)
