"There, there. Go to sleep."
"…"
The little lion whimpered for a while longer, then slowly closed his eyes. His breathing became even and deep as he fell asleep.
But his paw still rested gently on Yang Qi's hand.
Yang Qi waited until he was sound asleep before carefully pulling his hand away and standing up.
He walked out of the enclosure and quietly closed the door.
Through the observation window, he could see the little lion sleeping soundly on a bed of hay, his tiny body rising and falling gently with each breath.
"We've prepared some warm goat milk formula with added vitamins and electrolytes. We'll feed him when he wakes up. Starting tomorrow, we'll try adding some meat paste."
Dr. Zhang, who had been waiting outside, handed him a sheet of care instructions at just the right moment. "Brother Qi, this is the preliminary care plan. Please take a look. Also, we'll be specially preparing his food to ensure it's safe."
"Okay, thank you, Brother Zhang."
