Animal Whisperer: Take Back My Life and Love Chapter 67: The Power Of The Team
Jonas Clears Loren Zoo’s Name
Jonas Posts Safety Update Expressing Gratitude to Loren Zoo Director
National Swimming Team Collectively Repost Jonas’s Safety Update
The entire National Swimming Team shared Jonas’s post, thanking Nancy and announcing that once the championships were over, they would all be heading to Loren Zoo to volunteer!
Nineteen-year-old Jonas was a newcomer, having only recently joined the national squad. However, his teammates were established sports stars with hundreds of thousands—some even millions—of followers. Their combined influence was massive.
Suddenly, the whole country knew that Nancy had used her animals to find the missing athlete, and the national team was publicly singing her praises!
The photo Jonas posted was an instant hit. In the shot, he held the phone high while Nancy stood beside him wearing a face mask, flashing a cute peace sign. The Tabby sat in her arms, chin tilted up with regal indifference. But the real show-stealers were the two fluffy squirrels perched on her shoulders—they were actually mimicking her by flashing their own tiny "V" signs with their paws!
The sheer cuteness of the four creatures in one frame sent the comments section into a frenzy of "Awws" and heart emojis.
"I saw this Director Nancy before claiming to be an animal communicator and thought it was just a gimmick. Turns out she’s the real deal!"
"Those squirrels and the cat are way too smart! I’m going to Loren Zoo tomorrow just to see them~"
"Why didn't anyone tell me Loren Zoo had such adorable residents?!"
The public sentiment toward the zoo shifted overnight.
"Loren Zoo was framed so badly. I kept seeing those 'warning' posts, and they all used the exact same script."
"Yeah, and those posts always recommended that indoor pet place. Talk about predatory marketing."
"Wait... do you think the animal abuse rumors were started by the director of Cuties Petting Zoo?"
Watching the latest updates flood in, Yolanda’s face turned pale. "What do we do now?"
Ginnie remained outwardly calm. "It’s fine. They can’t trace it back to me." She let out a cold snort. "I didn't realize Nancy was so capable. Saving a national team member... and now those swimming stars with tens of millions of followers are going to volunteer for her for free?"
"She really caught a massive break this time!"
Yolanda’s expression was grim. "This is bad. Tickets for Loren Zoo are probably going to sell out for the next few weeks. I heard Jonas is a butterfly genius, a favorite for the world title..."
Yolanda suddenly stopped, her eyes lighting up as she pointed at the photo. "Wait, Ginnie, look. Jonas is in a hospital gown and he missed his training. His form is bound to be affected. This might drag down the entire relay team’s performance."
She lowered her voice, a malicious smirk forming. "If the national team fails to medal, the fans are going to look for someone to blame. It’ll be hilarious—these athletes skipping training to play volunteer at Nancy’s dump of a zoo. They’ll be slaughtered for not focusing on their careers."
Ginnie felt a weight lift off her chest. "True. And I heard another swimmer on the team is struggling with a slump. Trends come and go. Once this hype dies down, Loren Zoo is still headed for bankruptcy."
She stood up and smoothed her skirt. "Time to get back to the lab. I have a few more data sets to run for the vaccine."
Yolanda immediately called for the driver, her tone dripping with flattery. "The Talon Vaccine you’re developing is going to shock the world! Once it hits the market in two months, it’ll crush every competitor, domestic or foreign."
Her eyes gleamed as she counted on her fingers. "Hundreds of millions in profit is a conservative estimate! When you go back to your alma mater to give a speech, there won't be a single empty seat. International experts will be begging for your insights~"
Yolanda leaned in, whispering, "Loren Zoo's pathetic little director isn't even fit to carry your shoes!"
Ginnie smiled and swept out of the room.
Within two hours of Nancy’s hospital visit, Ryan had already transferred the $200,000 reward to her account.
Nancy marveled at the efficiency. That was fast! With money back in her pocket, she took her three little assistants on a shopping spree for medical supplies. By the time they returned to the zoo, it was 8:00 PM.
In the zoo’s clinic, Nancy gently dabbed a cotton swab on the Tabby’s ear, whispering soothingly, "Just bear with it for a second, it’s almost done."
The cat squinted, a deep purr vibrating in its throat. Its tail flicked contentedly—it was clearly enjoying being pampered by its "human servant."
On a phone stand next to the exam table, a viral dance video was playing. The Squirrel Bros were perched on either side of the device, their round, black eyes wide as they gripped the edge of the screen, completely mesmerized.
