Chapter 648: Sorted
However, she couldn't bring herself to talk about it to Hiro either. After all, he was merely a guest too. So, how could she ask him to take care of it?
Even though she was reluctant to speak of it, Hiro could tell something was troubling her.
"Do you fear about his safety?" Hiro couldn't help but ask.
Though he couldn't tell it exactly, Hiro could guess her troubled expression was linked to the dog he had brought. He could palpably see the pity and helplessness in her eyes.
Perhaps, she was reluctant to let him out in the open.
Initially, Hiro only wanted to shelter the dog until the storm. Though he pitied him, he was just as helpless. Well, he wasn't in any favorable position to think about it either.
After all, he was merely a passing traveler.
It would have been an entirely different scenario if he were a native.
Although reluctant, Hannah nodded, pursing her lips.
"Why don't we contact the animal shelter?" Hiro offered, thinking about it on the spot.
Honestly, Hiro thought it was a good suggestion. In such a situation, it was the most ideal thing they could do.
Hannah, however, didn't find that suggestion helpful.
Unable to keep the shelter running due to the lack of funds, the nearby animal shelter had disbanded recently. So, she wasn't optimistic about the idea.
Frowning, she responded, "We can't. The nearest shelter disbanded only recently and it was the only shelter nearby. Even the rescued animal there had to be moved to a faraway shelter and I doubt given their present condition, the other shelter would be willing to take him in."
Hearing her, Hiro couldn't help but frown.
With that option out, he couldn't think of anything either. He hadn't dealt with such a situation previously. Hence, he found this situation rather difficult.
Hearing the miserable story of the aforementioned shelter, Hiro couldn't help but pity them.
Even for such a noble cause, they had shut down because of the lack of funds.
Though he couldn't think of any other solution, Hiro couldn't bring himself to abandon it either. Appearing rather complacent, Hiro turned to look at the dog.
Upon realizing that Hiro was somewhat famous, her eyes glistened in awe.
"You were... telling the truth," she exclaimed, her tone filled with astonishment.
Finally, Hiro heaved a sigh of relief, "Yes, I'm telling you the truth."
"If you still don't believe me, I'll wire you the money right now. However, I don't have any means to do it now. So, give me your bank details, and I'll wire you the money later," Hiro
said.
Now that she was convinced that Hiro was indeed telling the truth, her suspicion toward him vanished. Even though she was reluctant to take money from him, she didn't have any choice.
So, she reluctantly provided her details.
Hiro noted her details and said, "Then I'll wire you the money later. Please take care of him until then."
After sorting the matter regarding the rescued dog, Hiro was about to leave. But he was stopped by Hannah.
She pinched his jacket and lightly pulled him, preventing him from advancing.
Hiro turned to look at her, curious at her gesture.
"Is something wrong?" He asked. "If it's about money then rest assured, I'll send it to you in
about an hour."
Hannah had become much softer than before. Her cheeks were slightly red.
She shook her head.
Hiro felt even more confused. He couldn't help but stare at her.
"Then is there something else?" he asked.
Hannah, however, didn't respond. Her plum lips remained shut.
Then she said bashfully, "Can we take a picture...?"
"Sure," Hiro nodded.
