An Alaskan malamute wore a tiny outfit. To be specific, it was Julien’s outfit!
Every piece of the boy’s belongings had been carefully preserved by her, treasured like a lifeline. And now, someone had desecrated them like this!
Rage ignited inside her right there and then. Ignoring her injuries, she lunged to snatch the clothes.
Just then, Preston and Savannah walked in with Chicago.
The kid swung a wooden stick at Sydney. “Bad woman! Don’t hurt Loki! I’ll beat you to death! I’ll beat you to death, bad woman!”
But Sydney’s eyes were fixed only on Julien’s clothes.The next second, she shoved the kid aside.
The kid toppled to the floor and started wailing.
Preston’s face darkened instantly. He scooped up Chicago, soothing him, then spun around to scold Sydney.
“What’s gotten into you?!”
Her eyes were bloodshot, fury clouding all reason. “Preston, that’s Julien’s clothing! You’re putting Julien’s clothes on a dog!”
Savannah frowned. “It’s just a piece of clothing. Why make such a fuss? I can just buy her a new one. Sydney, there’s no need to hit a child over something so trivial.”
“You can’t replace it!” Sydney shot back. “Julien is dead, and you dare to humiliate him like this?!”
