Chapter 364 I have a house
"Is Miss Betty here?"

"No, Miss Betty is a volunteer and will only come when she is free."

Holding Ron in his arms, James walked into the pet hospital with his head probed. After looking around, he didn't see Betty, so he stopped a staff member of the pet hospital and asked.

"Can you tell me where she lives?"

"do not know."

However, after the staff of the pet hospital glanced up and down James, they immediately refused to disclose Betty's news with a blank expression.

In his opinion, James, a bad young man who looks thin and decadent at first glance, is definitely a bad idea.

"Thank you~"

"Please tell Betty that James wants to pay the money and she's not here."

“I will come again next time~”

With a wry smile, James said to the staff, and then walked out of the pet hospital and returned to the cement pipe in the small park-on this day, compared to other times, both James and Ron were full, and James even made an exception to buy Sipping a cup of coffee is considered to have satisfied my wish of eating hamburgers and drinking coffee.

…………

In the next few days, James' business got better and better. With Ron present, James received no less than thirty pounds a day in tipping.

This made James' pockets bulge a little bit, his cheeks bulged a little bit, and the smile on his face increased, so that Val was surprised when he went to the drug rehabilitation clinic to meet with Val again.

"Hey, James, you've been looking good lately."

"Val, you're joking again."

"I mean it, you've put a lot more smile on your face lately."

"I think it might be because of this fat orange cat."

After the routine inspection, James smiled and lowered his head, looking at Ron at his feet—thanks to the existence of this orange cat, his income has improved a lot recently, and he no longer needs to worry about food.

And at James' feet, Ron made a snoring sound - recently he had eaten well and slept for a long time, and a slight itchiness began to appear at the fracture site.

This is a sign that the fracture is starting to heal.

There is a proverb in the country of Long, it hurts the muscles and bones for a hundred days.

Although cats are not like humans, it takes a hundred days to fully recover, but it still takes a few weeks.

And in the past few weeks, Ron has decided to rely on James to support him, and the fracture will be healed, thank you very much.

As for why he didn't send a message to Lorraine, Ron also thought about it, but James didn't have a mobile phone.

…………

"It seems that keeping pets is helpful for detoxification, and I can make a note of that."

Val will not let go of anything that is effective for drug rehabilitation, and records this possible effective event in his notebook. Val closes the notebook, straightens his face, and looks up at James.

"Let's get down to business."

"James, due to your recent good performance, I have applied for a welfare housing for you."

"What! Is this true?!"

Val's words immediately caused a look of surprise on James' face, and he even jumped up.

People who have never been homeless don’t know how a shelter can affect a person—living in a cement pipe every day, sleeping on a deck chair in a park, and letting the wind and rain blow, is an unimaginable pain.

For James at the moment, no matter how dilapidated it is, having a wall to keep out the wind and a roof to shelter from the rain is a luxury that is hard to come by.

"of course it's true."

"It's located in the suburbs. Although it's a bit dilapidated, you know, welfare housing is like this."

For James' excitement, Val also showed a sympathetic smile-she had seen too many homeless people who were moved to hear that they could own a welfare house.

As for James, the emotion was even stronger—he is a drug addict. If he hadn’t obediently come to the drug rehabilitation clinic every once in a while to drink drugs instead of medicine, and after inspection, if he did not take drugs again, this welfare room It's not his turn at all.

"Meow?!"
Have a house to live in?
Even Ron, who was squatting at James' feet, was a little excited.

After living in cement pipes for so long, it is quite nice to suddenly have a house to live in.

"Thank you, thank you so much!"

James thanked him in succession, and he even pounced on him and gave Val a kiss on the cheek—letting James kiss himself, Val said with a smile.

"After the inspection is over, you can go to Mary to get the key."

…………

Mary was in the hall outside Val's office. After chatting with Val, James walked up to the old black lady with a smile on his face.

Then the black aunt handed James a small test tube.

"Drink this."

The test tube contains drugs instead of drugs, which are specially prepared for drug addicts. In fact, it is a potion containing a small amount of drugs, which can replace drugs, but the taste is not flattering.

However, James had already drunk it many times. He took the small test tube, raised his head, and drank the potion inside—this behavior made the black aunt Mary nod in satisfaction.

Then she turned and took out two keys and a small note from the drawer and handed them to James.

"Here's the key, and here's the address."

"Thank you, Mary."

But just when James reached out to take the key from Mary, the black lady suddenly withdrew her hand, put her head close to James' face, and at the same time gave James two hard fists on the chest.

"Don't thank me!"

"You're a junkie, and I hate junkies the most."

"If you dare to take drugs in the welfare housing!"

"Get out of here!"

"Understand?"

The black aunt's fist made James take several steps back, but instead of being angry, he took the key and address from the aunt's hand with a silly smile, happily picked up Ron, and walked quickly to the door, ready to receive his own houses.

Behind him, Val came out of his office.

"Val, are you sure this guy can kick his addiction?"

"So that you put so much effort into it?"

"Of course, I'm sure."

Facing the words of the black aunt, she had a sure smile on her face.

…………

"..."

Such a dilapidated house~
The welfare house is located in the suburbs, and James and Ron took a long drive to get there.

That was the first thing James felt when he opened the door and Ron walked into the house.

But in James' view, this is his happiest moment.

"There are roofs, walls~, and wallpaper~"

"There are beds and quilts inside~"

"Look, there are not only toilets, but also bathtubs~"

"Ah! There is gas in the kitchen~"

Like an excited child, James whirled and lingered from room to room, while Ron hopped onto the only piece of furniture in the living room: a battered sofa, and curled up.

His bones were still itching and needed rest.

And as soon as he lay down, there was a slight sound, which made Ron's ears twirl~
