Chapter 128

Her eyes welled up with tears almost instantly. “Is that my little Million?”

“He’s grown, and he’s grown well,” Silas said gently to Calliope. “I knew you’d been thinking about him, missing him. I found him for you.”

“It’s Million. It’s my Million!” Calliope extended her hand, and Million lifted his paw. His fluffy paw was now as big as her hand, contrasting the small, soft one he had as a pup. He’d grown and become sturdy.

But he was still her Million. He knew to place his paw in her hand.

“Awooo!” Million let out a soft whimper, seemingly on the verge of tears. He recognized her.

Calliope looked at Million in disbelief, then turned to Silas, tears of joy streaming down her cheeks.

She had almost forgotten about him, but Silas had found him.

Her Million, the one she had thought of so often, the one she loved the most. When he went missing, he was just a little thing, but now he was so big.

“Silas, thank you!”

Calliope spun around and threw herself into Silas’s arms, excitedly rubbing her face against him. She didn’t know how to thank him enough. She was so happy to see Million again.

“Can I let Million out? Million is well-behaved and understands people. He won’t hurt anyone!”

After letting go of Silas, Calliope looked at him with hopeful eyes.

“Sure, you can. Million’s yours now. You’re Million’s owner. You can do whatever you like.” Silas smiled warmly. “I’ve taken care of all the paperwork. You are now his legal owner.”

Tears glistened in Calliope’s eyes as she rushed over to open the crate.

Once the door was open, Million stepped out and nuzzled up to Calliope, showering her with affection.

“Oh my gosh, this is so moving…”

“Mrs. Myers loves Million…”

Silas glanced sideways at Fagan, who was frantically wiping away tears, his expression a mix of amusement and perplexity.

“Why are you crying?”

Fagan sniffed, “It’s just… touching.”

Silas was speechless.

Calliope held Million’s head, inspecting him from all angles. He had grown so much yet remained as adorable as ever. His white fur had grown longer, transforming him from a short-haired pup into a long-haired handsome. Million looked like a massive, gorgeous Samoyed.

As Calliope petted Million’s head, memories flooded back.

Million was a lab experiment, a young wolf confined to a sterile lab. She had rescued him from that place when she was just a child.

After that, she’d raised Million, who had a unique constitution due to the experiments. Despite having him for two years, he hadn’t grown much.

But Million was incredibly smart, with a keen intellect and could understand everything except speaking human language.

She had always kept Million by her side, but when her grandfather passed, the Jewell family came to take her, and they secretly discarded Million. They lied, telling her Million had died.

Back then, she was so young and believed them.

If it weren’t for Silas, she might never have known Million was still alive.
