The dog laid down again, but at least it wasn't crying anymore.

Shen Luo let out a breath of relief. The dog seemed to get it, at least a little. As long as it could be reasoned with, he could rest easy.

After a while, Shen Luo stood up. "Come home with me, yeah? I'll bring you to visit him often. How's that sound?"

The Akita thought about it, then slowly got up and walked over to Shen Luo's side.

Shen Luo gave him a pat. "That's more like it."

He knew this Akita wouldn't forget everything that easily. There was no way it'd just move on overnight. Dogs and cats had simple minds, but that just meant they latched onto things harder. Talking them down usually didn't work. Better to go along with them and gently steer them in the right direction.

The Akita followed Shen Luo into the car. Shen Luo checked in with the young couple and told them he'd take care of the dog for now. They could talk about long-term plans later.

The couple was super thankful. The daughter didn't even need to say anything, and the son-in-law—because of his father-in-law's help—had always felt grateful toward him. With the dog, the father's most beloved companion, now taken care of, they could both finally relax.

Back at the hospital, Shen Luo gave the Akita a full spa treatment—bathed it, trimmed its nails, groomed its fur, cleaned its ears—and coaxed it into eating something. Only then did the dog find a spot and finally go to sleep. Shen Luo basically collapsed from exhaustion too.

The Akita's situation was kind of similar to Ethan's, but not quite the same, so Shen Luo couldn't use the exact same methods to comfort it. He had to take it step by step. Thankfully, the hospital had a good number of dogs, and the Akita could play with the others to lift its mood a bit.

That night, Shen Luo called the Akita to sleep with him. Ever since Xiao Chuan had left, the big bed had felt way too empty.

The Akita was a big dog, but it quietly laid down on the bed. In the middle of the night, though, it seemed to start dreaming. First, it howled loudly, then started crying in its sleep—probably dreaming about its old owner.

Shen Luo hadn't expected this. Turns out, even dogs could grieve themselves sick.

The next day, Shen Luo was super busy. He told Ethan to look after the Akita well. Ethan was clever and mature, the perfect companion for the dog.

Ah Fei and Mengmeng were also starting to show signs of going into labor. With three animals about to give birth in the hospital at the same time, everyone was on edge.

They kept a close eye all day. The babies seemed fine, just a little anxious, but they were eating normally.

Shen Luo went to check on the Akita. It was still the same as before.

That night, just as Shen Luo was packing up to head home, Wang Wei came running out of the building.
"Boss! Baobao looks like she's about to go into labor—she keeps whining!"

Shen Luo immediately dropped what he was doing and rushed inside.
"Go get everything ready—we're about to deliver puppies."

Wang Wei dashed off to grab supplies, while Shen Luo went to check on Baobao.

She was in her nest, looking pretty restless and uncomfortable. Her back end was already red and swollen, but everything was still clean—her water hadn't broken yet.

It was Baobao's first time giving birth, so it was totally normal for her to be nervous and scared. Shen Luo did his best to comfort her.

Wang Wei ran back in with a bunch of supplies. Luckily, Baobao knew them both and didn't seem defensive or stressed about them being there—she just looked super uncomfortable and kept shifting around.

Shen Luo had delivered animals plenty of times before, so he didn't panic. He just focused on keeping Baobao calm.

She'd been well taken care of during her pregnancy, and her pups were in the right position, so everything should go smoothly.

The situation dragged on like that for about two hours. Shen Luo checked the time—it was almost midnight.

"Her water just broke!"

He looked over and, sure enough, there was a bit of reddish fluid in the nest. It was lighter than blood, easy to tell apart.

Not long after the water broke, the first puppy slowly started coming out.

Baobao lay on her side, doing her best, and Shen Luo and Wang Wei couldn't really do much except keep watch. They just hoped the puppy came out headfirst—not feet first—so they wouldn't have to jump in and help.

The first little pup finally slid out. It had the same gray coloring as King Kong—a tiny little ball, you couldn't even tell which end was its head.

After the first one came out, Baobao seemed a bit confused, not sure what to do next. Shen Luo quickly guided her to bite the umbilical cord.

She clumsily bit it off, and Wang Wei took note of the birth time and coat color of the first pup.

Once that cord was cut, Baobao's motherly instincts kicked in. She started licking the puppy, cleaning off the membrane and mucus wrapped around it. But before she could even finish, the second pup was already on its way.

Baobao ended up giving birth to six puppies in a row. At first, she still had the energy to handle some of it herself, but the farther along she got, the more exhausted she became—she didn't even have the strength to bite the cords anymore.

Shen Luo and Wang Wei stepped in with gloves on. They cut the cords, removed the membranes, and cleaned up the pups.

"This one seems like it's choking a bit!"

Sometimes during birth, a pup could inhale some of the amniotic fluid and start to suffocate, so it was super important to act fast.

Shen Luo grabbed the puppy, held it upside down, and gently tapped its back. After a few moments, the little thing coughed up the fluid and perked back up.

For Shen Luo, who'd helped with countless animal births by now, this was all routine—nothing to freak out about.

After Baobao finished delivering all six puppies, she completely passed out from exhaustion. Shen Luo waited for her to expel the placenta, then cleaned her up thoroughly before finally heading out to the front hall. He dropped into a chair, completely wiped, and Wang Wei collapsed beside him.

The whole birth had taken just over an hour. It was already past 1 a.m.

Shen Luo picked up his phone and called Xiang Weiran. This wasn't the time to worry about bothering people—if he waited until morning to tell her, she'd definitely blow up at him.

As expected, when she heard Baobao had already given birth, she started scolding him for not calling earlier—and insisted on coming over right away.
