Finally managing to carry Milo up, Dylan Collins' voice came from outside.
"Where is everyone? Toss the beast out; I'll get someone to take it away."
"Don't..."
This surprised Hallie. Milo had been quite obedient and clean these past few days and looked noble now. He was unrecognizable compared to when she first found him. She couldn't bear to...
"No way, Dylan, this is what I picked up, why should you throw it away?"
Hallie held Milo tightly in her arms.
"It's dirty and smelly, and also bites. That's not a pet, throw it away!"
"No way, he's so small. Isn't it better to raise him until he's bigger before letting him go... He'll be bullied if he goes out."
"Bully, what bully? You give it to me. The bigger he gets, the more reluctant you will be to let him go." He banged on the door, and Hallie saw that Milo shrank in fear into her arms, making her even softer.
"Are you not opening the door so that I can take it down?"
Take down the door...
Looks like he would really do it.
