The Children Eavesdrop
Outside the office door, the children couldn't help but wonder what was being discussed inside. Emma pressed her ear against the wooden door, her eyes wide and filled with worry. Alex stood beside her, signaling for silence, while Ethan tried to make out the muffled words. "I can't hear anything clearly," Emma whispered. Fragmented phrases drifted out—strange terms like "records," "history," and "tests." The disjointed snippets of conversation only served to further fuel their imaginations. "Do you guys think there's something wrong with Nix?" Ethan murmured. These vague clues offered no comfort; instead, they sparked even more questions regarding the mysterious origins of their beloved companion.
A Shocking Theory
Inside the office, Dr. Morgan slowly explained his findings. "I believe Nix's coat pattern matches records of certain extinct species," he stated cautiously. Grace and Tom stared at him, struggling to process his meaning. "Extinct?" Tom asked in disbelief. "Are you saying Nix isn't a dog?" Dr. Morgan shook his head. "Not exactly. I don't want to jump to conclusions. But this pattern—it’s unlike any modern breed. I’d like to conduct further genetic testing to confirm." His voice held a blend of scientific awe and personal uncertainty. Grace and Tom realized they were facing a possibility that could overturn everything they thought they knew about their pet—and perhaps even more.
