Curious About The Bump

As I sat there, I couldn’t help but wonder how Max’s bump had gone unnoticed for so long, especially when we spent so much time together. I’d often massage his little paws, gently rub behind his ears, always alert for anything unusual—and yet, nothing ever felt out of place. It baffled me that something so serious could sneak up on us like this. What could this bump really mean for Max? The question lingered heavily, refusing to let go.

Dr. Lane’s Observation

Dr. Lane pointed to the bump on Max, now clearly visible in the scan. It had a distinct, structured appearance, though the swelling and his fur had done a good job of hiding it until now. “See this here?” she asked gently, tracing the area with her finger. I leaned in, eyes narrowing as I tried to understand. Her expression had shifted, growing more serious—and that sense of urgency quickly became contagious. This wasn’t just a swollen cheek anymore—something deeper, more troubling, was lurking beneath Max’s skin.
