Transcript

00:00:00I was born able to understand animals, other people's pets, adorable angels.

00:00:06The ones I hear? Non-stop, four-legged drama queens with a side of verbal diarrhea.

00:00:10My owner was a helpless romantic, beyond help.

00:00:14An orange tabri claimed,

00:00:16I'm not fat, just way too much regal energy to contain.

00:00:19Every day the parrot yells at the front desk,

00:00:22Dr. Pemberton's wig is slipping!

00:00:25Then the heir to the East Coast's most powerful family burst into our clinic with his Doberman.

00:00:29That Doberman, the kind I couldn't buy no matter how many years I earned money,

00:00:33is lying on the operating table barely clinging to life.

00:00:36The specialist said it wouldn't make it through the night.

00:00:38A hundred million dollars to whoever saves her!

00:00:41The whole clinic went crazy, but only I heard the Doberman gasping out a rant.

00:00:46Forget the cash! Can we focus on the diamond ring stuck in my gut first?

00:00:50His so-called sweetheart shoved it down my throat and told me to keep my mouth shut.

00:00:53I looked at Pierce Whitman, then at the sobbing Serafina beside him.

00:00:56I quietly raised my hand.

00:00:58Mr. Whitman, your dog might have swallowed something a bit more expensive than a treat.

00:01:04I work at a private vet clinic on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

00:01:07Not a high-ranking position, not much pay.

00:01:10Most days I trim cat nails, clean dog ears, and clean up after Dr. Pemberton's loudmouth parrot.

00:01:15Yep, that loudmouth parrot.

00:01:17His name's Cash, a macaw Dr. Pemberton dropped 20 grand on.

00:01:21Other parrots learn to say hello or you're beautiful.

00:01:24What did Cash learn?

00:01:25The receptionist's makeup looks awful today!

00:01:27Dr. Pemberton's wig is slipping!

00:01:30That corgi in exam room 2 just farted!

00:01:33So our clinic is a zoo every single day.

00:01:35So chaotic that sometimes I wish I could donate my ears.

00:01:39Because I was born understanding animal talk.

00:01:41Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hamsters, turtles,

00:01:44even the stray tortoise shell that hangs around for the AC.

00:01:47They all chat with me.

00:01:48At first I thought it was a special gift from above.

00:01:51Then I realized, nope, it's non-stop mental torture.

00:01:54Like right now, the Sam Mobiet in Kennert 3 is getting an IV and trashing its owner.

00:01:58She's crying again!

00:01:59Why?

00:02:00Because her boyfriend isn't texting back?

00:02:01He's busy walking some other bitch in the next block!

00:02:04Just another romantic fool.

00:02:06Total lost cause.

00:02:08Might as well have him neutered.

00:02:10My hands shook holding the medicine tray.

00:02:12I nearly stabbed myself with the needle.

00:02:14Shut it, you little cuties.

00:02:17Human, you're getting flustered.

00:02:19I took a deep breath and told myself to stay calm.

00:02:21After all, I'm just a vet tech intern.

00:02:24In a clinic full of Ivy League PhDs and internationally trained vets,

00:02:27I'm so invisible that Dr. Pemberton has to sneak a peek at my name tag

00:02:31every morning meeting just to remember my name.

00:02:34Until that afternoon.

00:02:38Suddenly, there was a loud screech of brakes outside.

00:02:41Then a swarm of bodyguards flooded in.

00:02:43The man in front wore a black coat, his face cold as ice,

00:02:47holding a convulsing Doberman in his arms.

00:02:49The Doberman was gorgeous.

00:02:51Long legs, shiny coat, even barely able to open its eyes.

00:02:54It reeked of money.

00:02:56The moment Dr. Pemberton recognized the man's face, his knees nearly gave out.

00:03:00Mr. Whitfield?

00:03:01Pierce Whitmore, the sole heir of the Whitmore family.

00:03:05I heard he doesn't go for women, can't stand social small talk,

00:03:09and has such a frosty demeanor that even his biological father

00:03:12wants to fix his tie the second he sees him.

00:03:14But he had a beloved dog named Onyex,

00:03:16raised from a pup closer to him than any brother.

00:03:20Word was, someone joked at a party that dogs were just animals.

00:03:23The next day, his company got hit with 18 tax violations.

00:03:26So when Onyx was carried into the emergency room,

00:03:29the whole clinic went dead silent.

00:03:31The head vet took charge himself, and several specialists rushed in.

00:03:34Blood draws, x-rays, induced vomiting, ECG monitoring.

00:03:38Half an hour later, everyone's faces fell.

00:03:40Mr. Whitwards, Onyx is doing very poorly.

00:03:43We suspect acute poisoning alongside gastrocontestinal foreign body obstruction,

00:03:47and it's showing pre-shock symptoms.

00:03:49Pierce Whitmore stared down at the dog on the table.

00:03:52Can you save it?

00:03:53We will do our best.

00:03:55Keep your best.

00:03:57Save my dog.

00:03:58The pressure in the room dropped to freezing.

00:04:01I shrunk into the corner, trying to stay invisible.

00:04:04But just then...

00:04:07Just then, a weak but furious voice exploded in my ears.

00:04:10Live my ass!

00:04:12If you don't get this thing out of my stomach, I'm meeting my maker.

00:04:15Stupid diamond ring!

00:04:16It's killing me!

00:04:17And that woman told me to keep quiet.

00:04:20Keep it yourself!

00:04:21I slowly turned to look at the woman standing behind Pierce Whitmore.

00:04:24Her name was Serafina Ashbed, the only woman ever linked to Pierce Whitmore.

00:04:28Right now, she was covering her mouth, sobbing.

00:04:31It's all my fault!

00:04:32If I hadn't taken Onyx to the garden today, this never would have happened!

00:04:36The moment Onyx heard her voice, her tail twitched in rage.

00:04:40Pretend!

00:04:41Keep pretending!

00:04:42Didn't you stuff that ring into a turkey treat and trick me into eating it?

00:04:46You said if I swallowed it, Pierce would feel sorry for you!

00:04:49Feel sorry for you, not on my worst day!

00:04:51I got goosebumps all over.

00:04:53Is this the kind of rich family secret someone making three grand a month should be hearing?

00:04:57I quietly stepped back.

00:05:01Everyone looked at me.

00:05:03Pierce Whitmore looked at me, too.

00:05:05You have something to say?

00:05:07I swallowed hard.

00:05:08Onyx gasped from the table, urging me on.

00:05:11Say it!

00:05:11Human!

00:05:12Hurry up!

00:05:12Any later and I'll be criminated with an eight-figure ring inside me.

00:05:18I closed my eyes and steeled myself.

00:05:21Mr. Whitmers, your dog might not just have regular poisoning.

00:05:26There's something in her stomach.

00:05:28Dead silence in the ER.

00:05:30The head threat was the first to frown.

00:05:31Alayda Vance, what are you talking about?

00:05:33That's right.

00:05:34My name is Alayra Vance.

00:05:35But no master's or Ph.D. from a top school, no overseas training, so I'm always on the sidelines.

00:05:41Usually I don't even get to hand the surgeon their gloves.

00:05:44Now I'd spoken up in front of the East Coast's top hairt.

00:05:46The head vet looked at me like I was a hamster trying to perform brain surgery.

00:05:50We already saw the scans.

00:05:51There's a shadow in the stomach, but it's unclear.

00:05:54Making wild guesses is unprofessional.

00:05:57We can do another contrast scan.

00:06:00Are you questioning my judgment?

00:06:02Here it comes.

00:06:03The usual workplace pressure.

00:06:06I was about to explain when Serafina spoke up softly.

00:06:09This young lady is just worried about Onyx, right?

00:06:12But Onyx is so weak already.

00:06:15Wouldn't more tests be cruel?

00:06:17Her voice was mental.

00:06:18Every word sounded like she cared about the dog.

00:06:21But Onyx was cucking up a storm in my head.

00:06:24Cruel my foot!

00:06:25What? Where was that concern when you fed me the ring?

00:06:28Don't listen to her, kid.

00:06:30She's got more tricks than there are freeze-dried bits in my kibble.

00:06:34Mr. Whitmore, we can't wait.

00:06:36If there's really something in there, we need to pinpoint it now.

00:06:39Pierce Whitmore studded me for two seconds.

00:06:42Run it.

00:06:44Mr. Whitmore?

00:06:47I was born able to understand animals.

00:06:49Other people's pets.

00:06:51Adorable angels.

00:14:40on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

00:14:41Not a high-ranking position,

00:14:43not much pay.

00:14:44Most days,

00:14:44I trim cat nails,

00:14:45clean dog ears,

00:14:46and clean up after

00:14:47Dr. Pemberton's loudmouth parrot.

00:14:49Yep,

00:14:50that loudmouth parrot.

00:14:51His name's Cash,

00:14:53a macaw Dr. Pemberton

00:14:54dropped twenty grand on.

00:14:55Other parrots learned to say hello

00:14:57or you're beautiful.

00:14:58What did Cash learn?

00:14:59The receptionist's makeup

00:15:00looks awful today!

00:15:01Dr. Pemberton's wig is slipping!

00:15:04That corgi in exam room two

00:15:06just farted!

00:15:07So our clinic is a zoo

00:15:08every single day.

00:15:09So chaotic that sometimes

00:15:11I wish I could donate my ears.

00:15:13Because I was born

00:15:14understanding animal talk.

00:15:16Dogs, cats, birds,

00:15:17rabbits, hamsters, turtles,

00:15:18even the stray tortoise shell

00:15:20that hangs around for the AC,

00:15:21they all chat with me.

00:15:22At first,

00:15:23I thought it was a special gift

00:15:24from above.

00:15:25Then I realized,

00:15:26nope,

00:15:26it's non-stop mental torture.

00:15:28Like right now,

00:15:29the Sam Mobiet in Kennert 3

00:15:30is getting an IV

00:15:31and trashing its owner.

00:15:32She's crying again!

00:15:33Why?

00:15:34Because her boyfriend

00:15:35isn't texting back?

00:15:36He's busy walking

00:15:36some other bitch

00:15:37in the next block!

00:15:38Just another romantic fool.

00:15:40Total lost cause.

00:15:42Might as well have him neutered.

00:15:44My hands shook

00:15:45holding the medicine tray.

00:15:46I nearly stabbed myself

00:15:47with the needle.

00:15:48Shut it,

00:15:49you little cuties.

00:15:50Meow!

00:15:51Human,

00:15:52you're getting flustered.

00:15:53I took a deep breath

00:15:54and told myself

00:15:54to stay calm.

00:15:55After all,

00:15:56I'm just a vet tech intern.

00:15:58In a clinic full of

00:15:59Ivy League PhDs

00:16:00and internationally trained vets,

00:16:02I'm so invisible

00:16:03that Dr. Pembleton

00:16:04has to sneak a peek

00:16:04at my name tag

00:16:05every morning meeting

00:16:06just to remember my name.

00:16:08Until that afternoon.

00:16:12Suddenly,

00:16:13there was a loud screech

00:16:14of breaks outside.

00:16:15Then a swarm of bodyguards

00:16:17flooded in.

00:16:17The man in front

00:16:18wore a black coat,

00:16:20his face cold as ice,

00:16:21holding a convulsing

00:16:22Doberman in his arms.

00:16:23The Doberman was gorgeous.

00:16:25Long legs,

00:16:26shiny coat,

00:16:26even barely able

00:16:27to open its eyes.

00:16:28It reeked of money.

00:16:30The moment Dr. Pemberton

00:16:31recognized the man's face,

00:16:33his knees nearly gave out.

00:16:35Mr. Whitfield?

00:16:36Pierce Whitmore,

00:16:37the sole heir

00:16:38of the Whitmore family.

00:16:39I heard he doesn't go

00:16:41for women,

00:16:41can't stand social small talk,

00:16:43and has such a frosty demeanor

00:16:45that even his biological father

00:16:46wants to fix his tie

00:16:47the second he sees him.

00:16:48But he had a beloved dog

00:16:49named Onyex,

00:16:50raised from a pup

00:16:51closer to him

00:16:52than any brother.

00:16:54Word was,

00:16:55someone joked at a party

00:16:56that dogs were just animals.

00:16:57The next day,

00:16:58his company got hit

00:16:59with 18 tax violations.

00:17:01So when Onyx was carried

00:17:02into the emergency room,

00:17:03the whole clinic

00:17:04went dead silent.

00:17:05The head vet

00:17:05took charge himself,

00:17:06and several specialists

00:17:07rushed in.

00:17:08Blood draws,

00:17:09x-rays,

00:17:10induced vomiting,

00:17:11ECG monitoring.

00:17:12Half an hour later,

00:17:13everyone's faces fell.

00:17:14Mr. Whitworth's Onyx

00:17:16is doing very poorly.

00:17:17We suspect acute poisoning

00:17:18alongside gastrocontestinal

00:17:20foreign body obstruction,

00:17:21and it's showing

00:17:22pre-shock symptoms.

00:17:23Pierce Whitmore

00:17:24stared down at the dog

00:17:25on the table.

00:17:26Can you save it?

00:17:27We will do our best.

00:17:29Keep your best.

00:17:31Save my dog.

00:17:32The pressure in the room

00:17:34dropped to freezing.

00:17:35I shrunk into the corner,

00:17:37trying to stay invisible.

00:17:38But just then,

00:17:41just then,

00:17:42a weak but furious voice

00:17:43exploded in my ears.

00:17:45Live my ass.

00:17:46If you don't get this thing

00:17:47out of my stomach,

00:17:48I'm meeting my maker.

00:17:49Stupid diamond ring.

00:17:50It's killing me.

00:17:52And that woman told me

00:17:53to keep quiet.

00:17:54Keep it yourself.

00:17:55I slowly turned

00:17:56to look at the woman

00:17:57standing behind

00:17:57Pierce Whitmore.

00:17:58Her name was

00:17:59Serafina Ashbed,

00:18:00the only woman

00:18:01ever linked to

00:18:02Pierce Whitmore.

00:18:03Right now,

00:18:03she was covering her mouth,

00:18:05sobbing.

00:18:05It's all my fault.

00:18:07If I hadn't taken Onyx

00:18:08to the garden today,

00:18:09this never would have happened.

00:18:10The moment Onyx

00:18:11heard her voice,

00:18:12her tail twitched in rage.

00:18:14Pretend.

00:18:15Keep pretending.

00:18:16Didn't you stuff that ring

00:18:18into a turkey treat

00:18:19and trick me into eating it?

00:18:20You said if I swallowed it,

00:18:21Pierce would feel sorry for you.

00:18:23Feel sorry for you?

00:18:24Not on my worst day!

00:18:25I got goosebumps all over.

00:18:27Is this the kind

00:18:28of rich family secret

00:18:29someone making

00:18:30three grand a month

00:18:30should be hearing?

00:18:31I quietly stepped back.

00:18:35Everyone looked at me.

00:18:37Pierce Whitmore

00:18:38looked at me too.

00:18:39You have something to say?

00:18:41I swallowed hard.

00:18:42Onyx gasped from the table,

00:18:44urging me on.

00:18:45Say it!

00:18:45Human!

00:18:46Hurry up!

00:18:47Any later and I'll be

00:18:48criminated with an

00:18:48eight-figure ring inside me.

00:18:52I closed my eyes

00:18:53and steeled myself.

00:18:55Mr. Whitmers,

00:18:57your dog might not

00:18:58just have regular poisoning.

00:19:00There's

00:19:01something in her stomach.

00:19:02Dead silence in the ER.

00:19:04The head threat

00:19:04was the first to frown.

00:19:05Alayda Vance,

00:19:06what are you talking about?

00:19:07That's right.

00:19:08My name is Alayda Vance.

00:19:10But no masters

00:19:11or PhD from a top school,

00:19:12no overseas training,

00:19:13so I'm always

00:19:14on the sidelines.

00:19:15Usually,

00:19:16I don't even get to

00:19:16hand the surgeon

00:19:17their gloves.

00:19:18Now,

00:19:18I'd spoken up

00:19:19in front of the

00:19:19East Coast's

00:19:20top-haired.

00:19:20The head vet

00:19:21looked at me

00:19:22like I was a hamster

00:19:22trying to perform

00:19:23brain surgery.

00:19:24We already saw

00:19:25the scans.

00:19:26There's a shadow

00:19:26in the stomach,

00:19:27but it's unclear.

00:19:28Making wild guesses

00:19:29is unprofessional.

00:19:31We can do

00:19:32another contrast scan.

00:19:34Are you questioning

00:19:35my judgment?

00:19:36Here it comes.

00:19:38The usual workplace

00:19:39pressure.

00:19:40I was about to explain

00:19:41when Serafina spoke up

00:19:42softly.

00:19:43This young lady

00:19:44is just worried

00:19:45about Onyx,

00:19:46right?

00:19:46But Onyx is so weak

00:19:48already.

00:19:49Wouldn't more tests

00:19:50be cruel?

00:19:51Her voice was mental.

00:19:53Every word sounded

00:19:54like she cared

00:19:54about the dog.

00:19:55But Onyx was

00:19:56cucking up a storm

00:19:57in my head.

00:19:58Cruel,

00:19:58my foot!

00:19:59Where was that concern

00:20:00when you fed me

00:20:01the ring?

00:20:02Don't listen to her,

00:20:03kid.

00:20:04She's got more tricks

00:20:05than there are

00:20:05freeze-dried bits

00:20:06in my kibble.

00:20:08Mr. Whitmore,

00:20:09we can't wait.

00:20:10If there's really

00:20:10something in there,

00:20:11we need to pinpoint it now.

00:20:13Pierce Whitmore

00:20:14studded me for two seconds.

00:20:16Run it.

00:20:18Mr. Whitmore?

00:20:21I was born able

00:20:22to understand animals,

00:20:23other people's pets,

00:20:25adorable angels.

00:20:27The ones I hear,

00:20:28non-stop,

00:20:29four-legged drama queens

00:20:30with a side of verbal

00:20:31diarrhea.

00:20:32My owner was a

00:20:32helpless romantic

00:20:33beyond help.

00:20:35An orange tab

00:20:36reclaimed,

00:20:37I'm not fat,

00:20:38just way too much

00:20:39regal energy to contain.

00:20:41Every day the parrot

00:20:42yells at the front desk,

00:20:43Dr. Pemberton's wig

00:20:44is slipping!

00:20:46Then the heir

00:20:47to the East Coast's

00:20:48most powerful family

00:20:49burst into our clinic

00:20:49with his Doberman.

00:20:50That Doberman,

00:20:51the kind I couldn't buy

00:20:52no matter how many years

00:20:53I earned money,

00:20:54is lying on the

00:20:55operating table

00:20:55barely clinging to life.

00:20:57The specialist said

00:20:58it wouldn't make it

00:20:58through the night.

00:20:59A hundred million dollars

00:21:01to whoever saves her!

00:21:03The whole clinic

00:21:04went crazy,

00:21:04but only I heard

00:21:05the Doberman gasping

00:21:06out a rant.

00:21:07Forget the cash!

00:21:08Can we focus on

00:21:09the diamond ring

00:21:10stuck in my gut first?

00:21:11His so-called sweetheart

00:21:12shoved it down my throat

00:21:13and told me to keep

00:21:14my mouth shut!

00:21:14I looked at Pierce Whitman,

00:21:16then at the sobbing

00:21:17Serafina beside him.

00:21:18I quietly raised my hand.

00:21:19Mr. Whitman,

00:21:20your dog might have

00:21:21swallowed something

00:21:22a bit more expensive

00:21:23than a treat.

00:21:25I work at a private

00:21:26vet clinic on

00:21:27Manhattan's Upper East

00:21:28Eyed.

00:21:28Not a high-ranking

00:21:29position,

00:21:30not much pay.

00:21:35loudmouth parrot.

00:21:36Yep,

00:21:37that loudmouth parrot.

00:21:38His name's Cash,

00:21:40a macaw Dr. Pembleton

00:21:41dropped 20 grand on.

00:21:42Other parrots learn

00:21:43to say hello

00:21:44or you're beautiful.

00:21:45What did Cash learn?

00:21:46The receptionist's

00:21:47makeup looks awful today!

00:21:48Dr. Pembleton's

00:21:49wig is slipping!

00:21:51That corgi in

00:21:52exam room 2

00:24:13Can you save it?

00:24:14We will do our best.

00:24:16Keep your best.

00:24:18Save my dog.

00:24:20The pressure in the room

00:24:21dropped to freezing.

00:24:22I shrunk into the corner,

00:24:24trying to stay invisible.

00:24:36Stupid diamond ring!

00:24:37It's killing me!

00:24:39And that woman told me

00:24:40to keep quiet.

00:24:41Keep it yourself!

00:24:42I slowly turned to look

00:24:43at the woman standing

00:24:44behind Pierce Whitmore.

00:24:45Her name was

00:24:46Serafina Ashbed,

00:24:47the only woman

00:24:48ever linked to Pierce Whitmore.

00:24:50Right now,

00:24:50she was covering her mouth,

00:24:52sobbing.

00:24:52It's all my fault!

00:24:54If I hadn't taken Onyx

00:24:55to the garden today,

00:24:56this never would have happened!

00:24:57The moment Onyx

00:24:58heard her voice,

00:24:59her tail twitched in rage.

00:25:01Pretend!

00:25:02Keep pretending!

00:25:03Didn't you stuff that ring

00:25:05into a turkey treat

00:25:06and trick me into eating it?

00:25:07You said if I swallowed it,

00:25:08Pierce would feel sorry for you!

00:25:10Feel sorry for you?

00:25:11Not on my worst day!

00:25:12I got goosebumps all over.

00:25:14Is this the kind of rich

00:25:16family secret someone making

00:25:17three grand a month

00:25:18should be hearing?

00:25:18I quietly stepped back.

00:25:22Everyone looked at me.

00:25:24Pierce Whitmore

00:25:25looked at me too.

00:25:26You have something to say?

00:25:28I swallowed hard.

00:25:29Onyx gasped from the table,

00:25:31urging me on.

00:25:32Say it!

00:25:32Human!

00:25:33Hurry up!

00:25:34Any later and I'll be

00:25:35criminated with an

00:25:35eight-figure ring inside me.

00:25:39I closed my eyes

00:25:40and steeled myself.

00:25:43Mr. Whitmers,

00:25:44your dog might not just

00:25:45have regular poisoning.

00:25:47There's something in her stomach.

00:25:49Dead silence in the ER.

00:25:51The head threat

00:25:51was the first to frown.

00:25:52Alayda Vance,

00:25:53what are you talking about?

00:25:54That's right.

00:25:55My name is Alayda Vance,

00:25:57but no master's

00:25:58or PhD from a top school,

00:26:00no overseas training,

00:26:01so I'm always on the sidelines.

00:26:02Usually I don't even get

00:26:03to hand the surgeon

00:26:04their gloves.

00:26:05Now I'd spoken up

00:26:06in front of the East Coast's

00:26:07top-haired.

00:26:08The head vet looked at me

00:26:09like I was a hamster

00:26:09trying to perform brain surgery.

00:26:11We already saw the scans.

00:26:13There's a shadow in the stomach,

00:26:14but it's unclear.

00:26:15Making wild guesses

00:26:16is unprofessional.

00:26:18We can do another

00:26:19contrast scan.

00:26:21Are you questioning

00:26:22my judgment?

00:26:23Here it comes.

00:26:24The usual workplace pressure.

00:26:27I was about to explain

00:26:28when Serafina spoke up softly.

00:26:31This young lady

00:26:31is just worried

00:26:32about Onyx, right?

00:26:33But Onyx is so weak already.

00:26:36Wouldn't more tests

00:26:37be cruel?

00:26:38Her voice was mental.

00:26:40Every word sounded

00:26:41like she cared about the dog,

00:26:42but Onyx was cucking up

00:26:44a storm in my head.

00:26:45Cruel my foot!

00:26:46Where was that concern

00:26:48when you fed me the ring?

00:26:49Don't listen to her, kid.

00:26:51She's got more tricks

00:26:52than there are freeze-dried

00:26:53bits in my kibble!

00:26:55Mr. Whitmore,

00:26:56we can't wait.

00:26:57If there's really something

00:26:58in there,

00:26:58we need to pinpoint it now.

00:27:00Pierce Whitmore

00:27:01studded me for two seconds.

00:27:03Run it.

00:27:05Mr. Whitmore?

00:27:08I was born able

00:27:09to understand animals,

00:27:10other people's pets,

00:27:12adorable angels.

00:27:14The ones I hear?

00:27:15Nonstop,

00:27:16four-leg drama queens

00:27:17with a side of verbal diarrhea.

00:27:19My owner was a helpless romantic,

00:27:21beyond help.

00:27:22An orange tabby claimed,

00:27:24I'm not fat,

00:27:25just way too much

00:27:26regal energy to contain.

00:27:28Every day,

00:27:28the parrot yells

00:27:29at the front desk,

00:27:30Dr. Pamperton's wig is slipping!

00:27:33Then the heir

00:27:34to the East Coast's

00:27:35most powerful family

00:27:36burst into our clinic

00:27:36with his Doberman.

00:27:37That Doberman,

00:27:38the kind I couldn't buy

00:27:39no matter how many years

00:27:40I earned money,

00:27:41is lying on the operating table

00:27:42barely clinging to life.

00:27:44The specialist said

00:27:45it wouldn't make it

00:27:45through the night.

00:27:46A hundred million dollars

00:27:48to whoever saves her!

00:27:50The whole clinic went crazy,

00:27:51but only I heard

00:27:52the Doberman gasping out a rant.

00:27:54Forget the cash!

00:27:55Can we focus on the diamond ring

00:27:57stuck in my gut first?

00:27:58His so-called sweetheart

00:27:59shoved it down my throat

00:28:00and told me to keep my mouth shut!

00:28:01I looked at Pierce Whitman,

00:28:03then at the sobbing

00:28:04Serafina beside him,

00:28:05I quietly raised my hand.

00:28:06Mr. Whitman,

00:28:07your dog might have

00:28:08swallowed something

00:28:09a bit more expensive

00:28:10than a treat.

00:28:12I work at a private vet clinic

00:28:14on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

00:28:15Not a high-ranking position,

00:28:17not much pay.

00:28:18Most days,

00:28:18I trim cat nails,

00:28:20clean dog ears,

00:28:20and clean up after

00:28:21Dr. Pembleton's

00:28:22loudmouth parrot.

00:28:23Yep,

00:28:24that loudmouth parrot.

00:28:25His name's Cash,

00:28:27a macaw Dr. Pembleton

00:28:28dropped 20 grand on.

00:28:30Other parrots learn to say

00:28:31hello or you're beautiful.

00:28:32What did Cash learn?

00:28:33The receptionist's makeup

00:28:34looks awful today!

00:28:35Dr. Pembleton's wig is slipping!

00:28:39That corgi in exam room 2

00:28:40just farted!

00:28:41So our clinic is a zoo

00:28:42every single day.

00:28:44So chaotic that sometimes

00:28:45I wish I could donate my ears.

00:28:47Because I was born

00:28:48understanding animal talk.

00:28:50Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits,

00:28:52hamsters, turtles,

00:28:53even the stray tortoiseshell

00:28:54that hangs around for the AC,

00:28:55they all chat with me.

00:28:56At first,

00:28:57I thought it was a special gift

00:28:58from above.

00:28:59Then I realized,

00:29:00nope,

00:29:01it's non-stop mental torture.

00:29:02Like right now,

00:29:03the Sammobiet in Kennert 3

00:29:04is getting an IV

00:29:05and trashing its owner.

00:29:06She's crying again!

00:29:08Why?

00:29:08Because her boyfriend

00:29:09isn't texting back?

00:29:10He's busy walking

00:29:11some other bitch

00:29:11in the next block!

00:29:12Just another romantic fool.

00:29:15Total lost cause.

00:29:16Might as well have him neutered.

00:29:18My hands shook

00:29:19holding the medicine tray.

00:29:20I nearly stabbed myself

00:29:21with the needle.

00:29:22Shut it,

00:29:23you little cuties.

00:29:25Human,

00:29:26you're getting flustered.

00:29:27I took a deep breath

00:29:28and told myself to stay calm.

00:29:30After all,

00:29:30I'm just a vet tech intern.

00:29:32In a clinic full of Ivy League PhDs

00:29:34and internationally trained vets,

00:29:36I'm so invisible

00:29:37that Dr. Pembleton

00:29:38has to sneak a peek

00:29:39at my name tag

00:29:39every morning meeting

00:29:40just to remember my name.

00:29:42Until that afternoon.

00:29:46Suddenly,

00:29:47there was a loud screech

00:29:48of brakes outside.

00:29:49Then a swarm of bodyguards

00:29:51flooded in.

00:29:52The man in front

00:29:53wore a black coat,

00:29:54his face cold as ice,

00:29:55holding a convulsing

00:29:56Doberman in his arms.

00:29:57The Doberman was gorgeous.

00:29:59Long legs,

00:30:00shiny coat,

00:30:01even barely able

00:30:01to open its eyes.

00:30:02It reeked of money.

00:30:04The moment Dr. Pemberton

00:30:05recognized the man's face,

00:30:07his knees nearly gave out.

00:30:09Mr. Whitfield?

00:30:10Pierce Whitmore,

00:30:11the sole heir

00:30:12of the Whitmore family.

00:30:14I heard he doesn't go for women,

00:30:16can't stand social small talk,

00:30:17and has such a frosty demeanor

00:30:19that even his biological father

00:30:20wants to fix his tie

00:30:21the second he sees him.

00:30:22But he had a beloved dog

00:30:23named Onyex,

00:30:24raised from a pup

00:30:25closer to him

00:30:26than any brother.

00:30:28Word was,

00:30:29someone joked at a party

00:30:30that dogs were just animals.

00:30:32The next day,

00:30:32his company got hit

00:30:33with 18 tax violations.

00:30:35So when Onyx was carried

00:30:36into the emergency room,

00:30:37the whole clinic

00:30:38went dead silent.

00:30:39The head vet took charge himself,

00:30:41and several specialists

00:30:41rushed in.

00:30:42Blood draws,

00:30:43x-rays,

00:30:44induced vomiting,

00:30:45ECG monitoring.

00:30:46Half an hour later,

00:30:47everyone's faces fell.

00:30:49Mr. Whitwards,

00:30:50Onyx is doing very poorly.

00:30:51We suspect acute poisoning

00:30:53alongside gastrocontestinal

00:30:54foreign body obstruction,

00:30:55and it's showing

00:30:56pre-shock symptoms.

00:30:57Pierce Whitmore stared down

00:30:58at the dog on the table.

00:31:00Can you save it?

00:31:01We will do our best.

00:31:03Keep your best.

00:31:05Save my dog.

00:31:07The pressure in the room

00:31:08dropped to freezing.

00:31:09I shrunk into the corner,

00:31:11trying to stay invisible.

00:31:12But just then,

00:31:15just then,

00:31:16a weak but furious voice

00:31:17exploded in my ears.

00:31:19Live my ass!

00:31:20If you don't get this thing

00:31:21out of my stomach,

00:31:22I'm meeting my maker.

00:31:23Stupid diamond ring.

00:31:25It's killing me.

00:31:26And that woman told me

00:31:27to keep quiet.

00:31:28Keep it yourself!

00:31:29I slowly turned to look

00:31:30at the woman standing

00:31:31behind Pierce Whitmore.

00:31:32Her name was

00:31:33Serafina Ashbed,

00:31:34the only woman ever

00:31:35linked to Pierce Whitmore.

00:31:37Right now,

00:31:37she was covering her mouth,

00:31:39sobbing.

00:31:39It's all my fault.

00:31:41If I hadn't taken Onyx

00:31:42to the garden today,

00:31:43this never would have happened.

00:31:44The moment Onyx

00:31:45heard her voice,

00:31:46her tail twitched in rage.

00:31:48Pretend!

00:31:49Keep pretending!

00:31:50Didn't you stuff that ring

00:31:52into a turkey treat

00:31:53and trick me into eating it?

00:31:54You said if I swallowed it,

00:31:55Pierce would feel sorry for you.

00:31:57Feel sorry for you?

00:31:58Not on my worst day!

00:32:00I got goosebumps all over.

00:32:01Is this the kind of

00:32:02rich family secret

00:32:03someone making three grand

00:32:04a month should be hearing?

00:32:05I quietly stepped back.

00:32:09Everyone looked at me.

00:32:11Pierce Whitmore

00:32:12looked at me too.

00:32:13You have something to say?

00:32:15I swallowed hard.

00:32:16Onyx gasped from the table,

00:32:18urging me on.

00:32:19Say it!

00:32:19Human!

00:32:20Hurry up!

00:32:21Any later and I'll be

00:32:22criminated with an

00:32:22eight-figure ring inside me.

00:32:26I closed my eyes

00:32:27and steeled myself.

00:32:30Mr. Whitmers,

00:32:31your dog might not just

00:32:32have regular poisoning.

00:32:34There's

00:33:36Don't listen to her,

00:33:38She's got more

00:33:39tricks than there are

00:33:40freeze-dried bits

00:33:42Mr. Whitmore,

00:33:43we can't wait.

00:33:44If there's really

00:33:44something in there,

00:33:45we need to pinpoint

00:33:50Run it.

00:34:37The whole clinic

00:34:38went crazy,

00:34:39but only I heard

00:34:39the Doberman

00:34:40gasping out a rant.

00:34:41Forget the cash.

00:34:42Can we focus on

00:34:43the diamond ring

00:34:44stuck in my gut first?

00:34:45His so-called sweetheart

00:34:46shoved it down my throat

00:34:47and told me to keep

00:34:48my mouth shut.

00:34:49I looked at Pierce Whitman,

00:34:50then at the sobbing

00:34:51Serafina beside him.

00:34:52I quietly raised my hand.

00:34:53Mr. Whitman,

00:34:56a bit more expensive

00:34:57than a treat.

00:34:59I work at a private

00:35:01vet clinic on

00:35:01Manhattan's Upper East Eyed.

00:35:02Not a high-ranking

00:35:03position,

00:35:04not much pay.

00:35:05Most days,

00:35:05I trim cat nails,

00:35:07clean dog ears,

00:35:07and clean up after

00:35:08Dr. Pembleton's

00:35:09loudmouth parrot.

00:35:10Yep,

00:35:11that loudmouth parrot.

00:35:13His name's Cash,

00:35:14a macaw Dr. Pembleton

00:35:15dropped twenty grand on.

00:35:17Other parrots learn

00:35:18to say hello

00:35:18or you're beautiful.

00:35:19What did Cash learn?

00:35:20The receptionist's makeup

00:35:21looks awful today!

00:35:22Dr. Pembleton's wig

00:35:24is slipping!

00:35:26That corgi in exam room 2

00:35:27just farted!

00:35:28So our clinic is a zoo

00:35:29every single day.

00:35:31So chaotic

00:35:32that sometimes I wish

00:35:32I could donate my ears.

00:35:34Because I was born

00:35:35understanding animal talk.

00:35:37Dogs, cats, birds,

00:35:38rabbits, hamsters, turtles,

00:35:40even the stray tortoise shell

00:35:41that hangs around

00:35:41for the AC,

00:35:42they all chat with me.

00:35:44At first,

00:35:44I thought it was a special gift

00:35:45from above.

00:35:46Then I realized,

00:35:47nope,

00:35:48it's non-stop mental torture.

00:35:49Like right now,

00:35:50the Sam Mobyat in Kennert 3

00:35:51is getting an IV

00:35:52and trashing its owner.

00:35:53She's crying again!

00:35:55Why?

00:35:55Because her boyfriend

00:35:56isn't texting back?

00:35:57He's busy walking

00:35:58some other bitch

00:35:58in the next block!

00:36:00Just another romantic fool.

00:36:02Total lost cause.

00:36:03Might as well have him neutered.

00:36:05My hands shook

00:36:06holding the medicine tray.

00:36:07I nearly stabbed myself

00:36:08with the needle.

00:36:09Shut it,

00:36:10you little cuties.

00:36:11Meow!

00:36:12Human,

00:36:13you're getting flustered.

00:36:14I took a deep breath

00:36:15and told myself to stay calm.

00:36:17After all,

00:36:17I'm just a vet tech intern.

00:36:19In a clinic full of

00:36:20Ivy League PhDs

00:36:21and internationally trained vets,

00:36:23I'm so invisible

00:36:24that Dr. Pembleton

00:36:25has to sneak a peek

00:36:26at my name tag

00:36:26every morning meeting

00:36:27just to remember my name.

00:36:29Until that afternoon.

00:36:33Suddenly,

00:36:34there was a loud screech

00:36:35of breaks outside.

00:36:36Then a swarm of bodyguards

00:36:38flooded in.

00:36:39The man in front

00:36:40wore a black coat,

00:36:41his face cold as ice,

00:36:42holding a convulsing

00:36:43Doberman in his arms.

00:36:44The Doberman was gorgeous.

00:36:46Long legs,

00:36:47shiny coat,

00:36:48even barely able

00:36:48to open its eyes.

00:36:49It reeked of money.

00:36:51The moment Dr. Pemberton

00:36:52recognized the man's face,

00:36:54his knees nearly gave out.

00:36:56Mr. Whitfield?

00:36:57Pierce Whitmore,

00:36:58the sole heir

00:36:59of the Whitmore family.

00:37:01I heard he doesn't go for women,

00:37:03can't stand social small talk,

00:37:04and has such a frosty demeanor

00:37:06that even his biological father

00:37:07wants to fix his tie

00:37:08the second he sees him.

00:37:09But he had a beloved dog

00:37:10named Onyek's,

00:37:11raised from a pup

00:37:12closer to him

00:37:13than any brother.

00:37:15Word was,

00:37:16someone joked at a party

00:37:17that dogs were just animals.

00:37:19The next day,

00:37:19his company got hit

00:37:20with 18 tax violations.

00:37:22So when Onyek's

00:37:23was carried into

00:37:23the emergency room,

00:37:24the whole clinic

00:37:25went dead silent.

00:37:26The head vet

00:37:27took charge himself,

00:37:28and several specialists

00:37:29rushed in.

00:37:29Blood draws,

00:37:30x-rays,

00:37:31induced vomiting,

00:37:32ECG monitoring.

00:37:33Half an hour later,

00:37:34everyone's faces fell.

00:37:35Mr. Whitworth's Onyx

00:37:37is doing very poorly.

00:37:38We suspect acute poisoning

00:37:40alongside gastrocontestinal

00:37:41foreign body obstruction,

00:37:42and it's showing

00:37:43pre-shock symptoms.

00:37:44Pierce Whitmore

00:37:45stared down at the dog

00:37:46on the table.

00:37:47Can you save it?

00:37:48We will do our best.

00:37:50Keep your best.

00:37:52Save my dog.

00:37:54The pressure in the room

00:37:55dropped to freezing.

00:37:56I shrunk into the corner,

00:37:58trying to stay invisible.

00:37:59But just then,

00:38:02just then,

00:38:03a weak but furious voice

00:38:04exploded in my ears.

00:38:06Live my ass.

00:38:07If you don't get this thing

00:38:08out of my stomach,

00:38:09I'm meeting my maker.

00:38:10Stupid diamond ring.

00:38:12It's killing me.

00:38:13And that woman told me

00:38:14to keep quiet.

00:38:15Keep it yourself.

00:38:16I slowly turned to look

00:38:17at the woman standing

00:38:18behind Pierce Whitmore.

00:38:19Her name was

00:38:20Serafina Ashbed,

00:38:21the only woman ever linked

00:38:23to Pierce Whitmore.

00:38:24Right now,

00:38:24she was covering her mouth,

00:38:26sobbing.

00:38:27It's all my fault.

00:38:28If I hadn't taken Onyx

00:38:29to the garden today,

00:38:30this never would have happened.

00:38:31The moment Onyx

00:38:32heard her voice,

00:38:33her tail twitched in rage.

00:38:36Pretend!

00:38:36Keep pretending!

00:38:38Didn't you stuff that ring

00:38:39into a turkey treat

00:38:40and trick me into eating it?

00:38:41You said if I swallowed it,

00:38:43Pierce would feel sorry for you.

00:38:44Feel sorry for you?

00:38:45Not on my worst day!

00:38:47I got goosebumps all over.

00:38:49Is this the kind of

00:38:49rich family secret

00:38:50someone making three grand

00:38:51a month should be hearing?

00:38:52I quietly stepped back.

00:38:56Everyone looked at me.

00:38:58Pierce Whitmore looked at me too.

00:39:00You have something to say?

00:39:02I swallowed hard.

00:39:03Onyx gasped from the table,

00:39:05urging me on.

00:39:06Say it!

00:39:07Human!

00:39:07Hurry up!

00:39:08Any later and I'll be

00:39:09criminated with an

00:39:10eight-figure ring inside me.

00:39:13I closed my eyes

00:39:14and steeled myself.

00:39:17Mr. Whitmers,

00:39:18your dog might not just

00:39:19have regular poisoning.

00:39:21There's

00:39:22something in her stomach.

00:39:23Dead silence in the ER.

00:39:25The head vet

00:39:25was the first to frown.

00:39:27Alayda Vance,

00:39:27what are you talking about?

00:39:28That's right.

00:39:29My name is Alayra Vance.

00:39:31But no masters

00:39:32or PhD from a top school,

00:39:34no overseas training,

00:39:35so I'm always on the sidelines.

00:39:36Usually,

00:39:37I don't even get to

00:39:38hand the surgeon

00:39:38their gloves.

00:39:39Now,

00:39:40I'd spoken up in front

00:39:40of the East Coast's

00:39:41top haired.

00:39:42The head vet

00:39:42looked at me like

00:39:43I was a hamster

00:39:44trying to perform

00:39:44brain surgery.

00:39:45We already saw the scans.

00:39:47There's a shadow

00:39:48in the stomach,

00:39:48but it's unclear.

00:39:49Making wild guesses

00:39:50is unprofessional.

00:39:52We can do another

00:39:53contrast scan.

00:39:55Are you questioning

00:39:56my judgment?

00:39:57Here it comes.

00:39:59The usual workplace pressure.

00:40:01I was about to explain

00:40:02when Serafina

00:40:03spoke up softly.

00:40:05This young lady

00:40:06is just worried

00:40:06about Onyx, right?

00:40:08But Onyx is so weak already.

00:40:10Wouldn't more tests

00:40:11be cruel?

00:40:12Her voice was mental.

00:40:14Every word sounded

00:40:15like she cared

00:40:15about the dog.

00:40:16But Onyx was

00:40:17cucking up a storm

00:40:18in my head.

00:40:19Cruel my foot!

00:40:20Where was that concern

00:40:22when you fed me the ring?

00:40:24Don't listen to her, kid.

00:40:25She's got more tricks

00:40:26than there are

00:40:27freeze-dried bits

00:40:27in my kibble.

00:40:29Mr. Whitmore,

00:40:30we can't wait.

00:40:31If there's really

00:40:32something in there,

00:40:32we need to pinpoint it now.

00:40:34Pierce Whitmore

00:40:35studded me for two seconds.

00:40:37Run it.

00:40:39Mr. Whitmore?

00:40:42I was born able

00:40:43to understand animals,

00:40:44other people's pets,

00:40:46adorable angels.

00:40:48The ones I hear

00:40:49non-stop,

00:40:50four-legged drama queens

00:40:51with a side of verbal diarrhea.

00:40:53My owner was a helpless romantic,

00:40:55beyond help.

00:40:56An orange tab

00:40:57reclaimed,

00:40:58I'm not fat,

00:40:59just way too much

00:41:00regal energy to contain.

00:41:02Every day,

00:41:03the parrot yells

00:41:03at the front desk,

00:41:04Dr. Pamperton's wig

00:41:05is slipping!

00:41:07Then the heir

00:41:08to the East Coast's

00:41:09most powerful family

00:41:10burst into our clinic

00:41:11with his Doberman.

00:41:12That Doberman,

00:41:12the kind I couldn't buy

00:41:13no matter how many years

00:41:14I earned money,

00:41:15is lying on the operating table

00:41:17barely clinging to life.

00:41:18The specialist said

00:41:19it wouldn't make it

00:41:20through the night.

00:41:21A hundred million dollars

00:41:22to whoever saves her!

00:41:24The whole clinic went crazy,

00:41:26but only I heard

00:41:26the Doberman

00:41:27gasping out a rant.

00:41:28Forget the cash.

00:41:29Can we focus on the diamond ring

00:41:31stuck in my gut first?

00:41:32His so-called sweetheart

00:41:33shoved it down my throat

00:41:34and told me to keep my mouth shut.

00:41:36I looked at Pierce Whitman,

00:41:37then at the sobbing

00:41:38Serafina beside him.

00:41:39I quietly raised my hand.

00:41:40Mr. Whitman,

00:41:41your dog might have

00:41:42swallowed something

00:41:43a bit more expensive

00:41:44than a treat.

00:41:46I work at a private vet clinic

00:41:48on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

00:41:50Not a high-ranking position,

00:45:11Right now,

00:45:12she was covering her mouth,

00:45:13sobbing.

00:45:14It's all my fault.

00:45:15If I hadn't taken Onyx

00:45:16to the garden today,

00:45:17this never would have happened.

00:45:18The moment Onyx

00:45:19heard her voice,

00:45:20her tail twitched in rage.

00:45:23Pretend.

00:45:23Keep pretending.

00:45:25Didn't you stuff that ring

00:45:26into a turkey treat

00:45:27and trick me into eating it?

00:45:28You said if I swallowed it,

00:45:30Pierce would feel sorry for you.

00:45:31Feel sorry for you?

00:45:32Not on my worst day!

00:45:34I got goosebumps all over.

00:45:36Is this the kind

00:45:36of rich family secret

00:45:37someone making

00:45:38three grand a month

00:45:39should be hearing?

00:45:40I quietly stepped back.

00:45:43Everyone looked at me.

00:45:45Pierce Whitmore

00:45:46looked at me too.

00:45:48You have something to say?

00:45:49I swallowed hard.

00:45:50Onyx gasped from the table,

00:45:52urging me on.

00:45:53Say it!

00:45:54Human!

00:45:54Hurry up!

00:45:55Any later and I'll be

00:45:56criminated with an

00:45:57eight-figure ring inside me.

00:46:00I closed my eyes

00:46:01and steeled myself.

00:46:04Mr. Whitmers,

00:46:05your dog might not

00:46:06just have regular poisoning.

00:46:08There's

00:46:09something in her stomach.

00:46:10Dead silence in the ER.

00:46:12The head threat

00:46:13was the first to frown.

00:46:14Alayda Vance,

00:46:14what are you talking about?

00:46:15That's right.

00:46:16My name is Alayda Vance.

00:46:18But no masters

00:46:19or PhD from a top school,

00:46:21no overseas training,

00:46:22so I'm always

00:46:22on the sidelines.

00:46:24Usually I don't even

00:46:24get to hand the surgeon

00:46:25their gloves.

00:46:26Now I'd spoken up

00:46:27in front of the

00:46:28East Coast's top-haired.

00:46:29The head vet

00:46:29looked at me

00:46:30like I was a hamster

00:46:31trying to perform

00:46:31brain surgery.

00:46:32We already saw the scans.

00:46:34There's a shadow

00:46:35in the stomach

00:46:35but it's unclear.

00:46:36Making wild guesses

00:46:37is unprofessional.

00:46:40We can do

00:46:40another contrast scan.

00:46:42Are you questioning

00:46:43my judgment?

00:46:45Here it comes.

00:46:46The usual workplace pressure.

00:46:48I was about to explain

00:46:49when Serafina spoke up softly.

00:46:52This young lady

00:46:53is just worried

00:46:53about Onyx, right?

00:46:55But Onyx is so weak already.

00:46:57Wouldn't more tests

00:46:58be cruel?

00:46:59Her voice was mental.

00:47:01Every word sounded

00:47:02like she cared

00:47:03about the dog.

00:47:03But Onyx was

00:47:04cucking up a storm

00:47:05in my head.

00:47:06Cruel my foot!

00:47:07Where was that concern

00:47:09when you fed me the ring?

00:47:11Don't listen to her, kid.

00:47:12She's got more tricks

00:47:13than there are

00:47:14freeze-dried bits

00:47:15in my kibble.

00:47:16Mr. Whitmore,

00:47:17we can't wait.

00:47:18If there's really

00:47:19something in there

00:47:19we need to pinpoint it now.

00:47:21Pierce Whitmore

00:47:22studded me for two seconds.

00:47:25Run it.

00:47:26Mr. Whitmore?

00:47:29I was born able

00:47:30to understand animals.

00:47:32Other people's pets.

00:47:33Adorable angels.

00:47:35The ones I hear

00:47:36non-stop

00:47:37four-leg drama queens

00:47:38with a side

00:47:39of verbal diarrhea.

00:47:40My owner was

00:47:41a helpless romantic

00:47:42beyond help.

00:47:43An orange tab

00:47:44reclaimed,

00:47:45I'm not fat,

00:47:46just way too much

00:47:47regal energy

00:47:48to contain.

00:47:49Every day

00:47:50the parrot yells

00:47:50at the front desk,

00:47:51Dr. Pemberton's wig

00:47:52is slipping!

00:47:54Then the heir

00:47:55to the East Coast's

00:47:56most powerful family

00:47:57burst into our clinic

00:47:58with his Doberman.

00:47:59That Doberman,

00:47:59the kind I couldn't buy

00:48:00no matter how many years

00:48:01I earned money,

00:48:02is lying on the operating table

00:48:04barely clinging to life.

00:48:05The specialist

00:48:06said it wouldn't make

00:48:07it through the night.

00:48:08A hundred million dollars

00:48:09to whoever saves her!

00:48:11The whole clinic

00:48:12went crazy,

00:48:13but only I heard

00:48:14the Doberman gasping

00:48:14out a rant.

00:48:15Forget the cash.

00:48:16Can we focus

00:48:17on the diamond ring

00:48:18stuck in my gut first?

00:48:19His so-called sweetheart

00:48:20shoved it down my throat

00:48:21and told me

00:48:22to keep my mouth shut.

00:48:23I looked at Pierce Whitman,

00:48:24then at the sobbing

00:48:25Seraphina beside him.

00:48:26I quietly raised my hand.

00:48:27Mr. Whitman,

00:48:28your dog might have

00:48:30swallowed something

00:48:30a bit more expensive

00:48:31than a treat.

00:48:33I work at a private

00:48:35vet clinic

00:48:35on Manhattan's

00:48:36Upper East Side.

00:48:37Not a high-ranking position,

00:48:38not much pay.

00:48:39Most days,

00:48:40I trim cat nails,

00:48:41clean dog ears,

00:48:42and clean up after

00:48:42Dr. Pembleton's

00:48:43loudmouth parrot.

00:48:44Yep,

00:48:45that loudmouth parrot.

00:48:47His name's Cash,

00:48:48a macaw Dr. Pembleton

00:48:49dropped 20 grand on.

00:48:51Other parrots learn

00:48:52to say hello

00:48:52or you're beautiful.

00:48:53What did Cash learn?

00:48:54The receptionist's makeup

00:48:55looks awful today.

00:48:57Dr. Pembleton's wig

00:48:58is slipping.

00:49:00That corgi in exam room 2

00:49:01just farted.

00:49:02So our clinic is a zoo

00:49:04every single day.

00:49:05So chaotic

00:49:06that sometimes I wish

00:49:06I could donate my ears.

00:49:08Because I was born

00:49:09understanding animal talk.

00:49:11Dogs, cats, birds,

00:49:12rabbits, hamsters,

00:49:13turtles,

00:49:14even the stray tortoiseshell

00:49:15that hangs around

00:49:16for the AC,

00:49:16they all chat with me.

00:49:18At first,

00:49:18I thought it was

00:49:19a special gift from above.

00:49:20Then I realized,

00:49:21nope,

00:49:22it's nonstop mental torture.

00:49:23Like right now,

00:49:24the Sammobit

00:49:25in Kennert 3

00:49:25is getting an IV

00:49:26and trashing its owner.

00:49:28She's crying again!

00:49:29Why?

00:49:29Because her boyfriend

00:49:30isn't texting back?

00:49:31He's busy walking

00:49:32some other bitch

00:49:32in the next block!

00:49:34Just another romantic fool.

00:49:36Total lost cause.

00:49:37Might as well

00:49:38have him neutered.

00:49:39My hands shook

00:49:40holding the medicine tray.

00:49:41I nearly stabbed myself

00:49:42with the needle.

00:49:43Shut it,

00:49:44you little cuties.

00:49:46Human,

00:49:47you're getting flustered.

00:49:48I took a deep breath

00:49:49and told myself

00:49:50to stay calm.

00:49:51After all,

00:49:51I'm just a vet tech intern.

00:49:53In a clinic full of

00:49:54Ivy League PhDs

00:49:55and internationally trained vets,

00:49:57I'm so invisible

00:49:58that Dr. Pembleton

00:49:59has to sneak a peek

00:50:00at my name tag

00:50:01every morning meeting

00:50:01just to remember my name.

00:50:03Until that afternoon.

00:50:07Suddenly,

00:50:08there was a loud screech

00:50:09of brakes outside.

00:50:10Then a swarm of bodyguards

00:50:12flooded in.

00:50:13The man in front

00:50:14wore a black coat,

00:50:15his face cold as ice,

00:50:16holding a convulsing

00:50:17Doberman in his arms.

00:50:18The Doberman was gorgeous,

00:50:20long legs,

00:50:21shiny coat,

00:50:22even barely able

00:50:23to open its eyes.

00:50:24It reeked of money.

00:50:25The moment Dr. Pemberton

00:50:26recognized the man's face,

00:50:28his knees nearly gave out.

00:50:30Mr. Whitfield?

00:50:31Pierce Whitmore,

00:50:32the sole heir

00:50:33of the Whitmore family.

00:50:35I heard he doesn't go for women,

00:50:37can't stand social small talk,

00:50:39and has such a frosty demeanor

00:50:40that even his biological father

00:50:41wants to fix his tie

00:50:42the second he sees him.

00:50:43But he had a beloved dog

00:50:45named Onyex,

00:50:45raised from a pup

00:50:46closer to him

00:50:47than any brother.

00:50:49Word was,

00:50:50someone joked at a party

00:50:51that dogs were just animals.

00:50:53The next day,

00:50:54his company got hit

00:50:54with 18 tax violations.

00:50:56So when Onyx was carried

00:50:57into the emergency room,

00:50:58the whole clinic

00:50:59went dead silent.

00:51:00The head vet took charge himself,

00:51:02and several specialists rushed in.

00:51:03Blood draws,

00:51:04x-rays,

00:51:05induced vomiting,

00:51:06ECG monitoring.

00:51:07Half an hour later,

00:51:08everyone's faces fell.

00:51:10Mr. Whitwards,

00:51:11Onyx is doing very poorly.

00:51:12We suspect acute poisoning

00:51:14alongside gastrocontestinal

00:51:15foreign body obstruction,

00:51:16and it's showing pre-shock symptoms.

00:51:18Pierce Whitmore stared down

00:51:20at the dog on the table.

00:51:21Can you save it?

00:51:23We will do our best.

00:51:24Keep your best.

00:51:26Save my dog.

00:51:28The pressure in the room

00:51:29dropped to freezing.

00:51:30I shrunk into the corner,

00:51:32trying to stay invisible.

00:51:33But just then,

00:51:36just then,

00:51:37a weak but furious voice

00:51:39exploded in my ears.

00:51:40Live my ass.

00:51:41If you don't get this thing

00:51:42out of my stomach,

00:51:43I'm meeting my maker.

00:51:44Stupid diamond ring.

00:51:46It's killing me.

00:51:47And that woman told me

00:51:48to keep quiet.

00:51:49Keep it yourself.

00:51:51I slowly turned to look

00:51:52at the woman standing

00:51:52behind Pierce Whitmore.

00:51:53Her name was Serafina Ashbed,

00:51:55the only woman ever linked

00:51:57to Pierce Whitmore.

00:51:58Right now,

00:51:59she was covering her mouth,

00:52:00sobbing.

00:52:01It's all my fault.

00:52:02If I hadn't taken Onyx

00:52:03to the garden today,

00:52:04this never would have happened.

00:52:05The moment Onyx heard her voice,

00:52:07her tail twitched in rage.

00:52:10Pretend!

00:52:11Keep pretending!

00:52:12Didn't you stuff that ring

00:52:13into a turkey treat

00:52:14and trick me into eating it?

00:52:15You said if I swallowed it,

00:52:17Pierce would feel sorry for you.

00:52:18Feel sorry for you?

00:52:19Not on my worst day!

00:52:21I got goosebumps all over.

00:52:23Is this the kind of rich family secret

00:52:24someone making three grand

00:52:26a month should be hearing?

00:52:27I quietly stepped back.

00:52:30Everyone looked at me.

00:52:32Pierce Whitmore looked at me too.

00:52:35You have something to say?

00:52:36I swallowed hard.

00:52:37Onyx gasped from the table.

00:52:39urging me on.

00:52:40Say it!

00:52:41Human!

00:52:41Hurry up!

00:52:42Any later and I'll be criminated

00:52:43with an eight-figure ring inside me.

00:52:47I closed my eyes

00:52:49and steeled myself.

00:52:51Mr. Whitmers,

00:52:52your dog might not just

00:52:53have regular poisoning.

00:52:55There's

00:52:56something in her stomach.

00:52:57Dead silence in the ER.

00:52:59The head threat

00:53:00was the first to frown.

00:54:30An orange tabby claimed,

00:54:32I'm not fat,

00:54:33just way too much

00:54:34regal energy to contain.

00:54:36Every day,

00:54:37the parrot yells

00:54:37at the front desk,

00:54:38Dr. Pamperton's wig is slipping!

00:54:42Then the heir

00:55:17a bit more expensive

00:55:18than a treat.

00:55:21I work at a private vet clinic

00:55:24Not a high-ranking position,

00:55:25not much pay.

00:55:36dropped 20 grand on.

00:55:38Other parrots learn to say

00:55:39hello or you're beautiful.

00:55:40What did Cash learn?

00:55:41The receptionist's makeup

00:55:42looks awful today!

00:55:44Dr. Pembleton's wig is slipping!

00:55:47That corgi in exam room 2

00:55:48just farted!

00:55:49So our clinic is a zoo

00:55:51every single day.

00:55:52So chaotic that sometimes

00:55:53I wish I could donate my ears.

00:55:55Because I was born

00:55:56understanding animal talk.

00:55:58Dogs, cats, birds, rabbits,

00:56:00hamsters, turtles,

00:56:01even the stray tortoise shell

00:56:02that hangs around for the AC,

00:56:03they all chat with me.

00:56:05At first, I thought it was

00:56:06a special gift from above.

00:56:07Then I realized,

00:56:08nope, it's non-stop mental torture.

00:56:10Like right now,

00:56:11the Sam Mobyat in Kennert 3

00:56:13is getting an IV

00:56:13and trashing its owner.

00:56:15She's crying again!

00:56:16Why?

00:56:16Because her boyfriend

00:56:17isn't texting back?

00:56:18He's busy walking

00:56:19some other bitch

00:56:19in the next block!

00:56:21Just another romantic fool.

00:56:23Total lost cause.

00:56:24Might as well have him neutered.

00:56:26My hands shook

00:56:27holding the medicine tray.

00:56:28I nearly stabbed myself

00:56:29with the needle.

00:56:30Shut it, you little cuties.

00:56:33Human,

00:56:34you're getting flustered.

00:56:35I took a deep breath

00:56:36and told myself to stay calm.

00:56:38After all,

00:56:39I'm just a vet tech intern.

00:56:40In a clinic full of

00:56:41Ivy League PhDs

00:56:42and internationally trained vets,

00:56:44I'm so invisible

00:56:45that Dr. Pembleton

00:56:46has to sneak a peek

00:56:47at my name tag

00:56:48every morning meeting

00:56:48just to remember my name.

00:56:50Until that afternoon.

00:56:55Suddenly,

00:56:55there was a loud screech

00:56:56of brakes outside.

00:56:58Then a swarm of bodyguards

00:56:59flooded in.

00:57:00The man in front

00:57:01wore a black coat,

00:57:02his face cold as ice,

00:57:03holding a convulsing

00:57:04Doberman in his arms.

00:57:06The Doberman was gorgeous,

00:57:07long legs,

00:57:08shiny coat,

00:57:09even barely able

00:57:10to open its eyes.

00:57:11It reeked of money.

00:57:12The moment Dr. Pemberton

00:57:14recognized the man's face,

00:57:15his knees nearly gave out.

00:57:17Mr. Whitfield?

00:57:18Pierce Whitmore,

00:57:19the sole heir

00:57:20of the Whitmore family.

00:57:22I heard he doesn't go for women,

00:57:24can't stand social small talk,

00:57:26and has such a frosty demeanor

00:57:27that even his biological father

00:57:28wants to fix his tie

00:57:29the second he sees him.

00:57:31But he had a beloved dog

00:57:32named Onyex,

00:57:33raised from a pup

00:57:33closer to him

00:57:34than any brother.

00:57:36Word was,

00:57:37someone joked at a party

00:57:38that dogs were just animals.

00:57:40The next day,

00:57:41his company got hit

00:57:41with 18 tax violations.

00:57:43So when Onyx was carried

00:57:44into the emergency room,

00:57:46the whole clinic

00:57:46went dead silent.

00:57:47The head vet took charge himself,

00:57:49and several specialists rushed in.

00:57:50Blood draws,

00:57:51x-rays,

00:57:52induced vomiting,

00:57:53ECG monitoring.

00:57:54Half an hour later,

00:57:55everyone's faces fell.

00:57:57Mr. Whitwards,

00:57:58Onyx is doing very poorly.

00:58:00We suspect acute poisoning

00:58:01alongside gastrocontestinal

00:58:02foreign body obstruction,

00:58:03and it's showing

00:58:04pre-shock symptoms.

00:58:05Pierce Whitmore stared down

00:58:07at the dog on the table.

00:58:08Can you save it?

00:58:10We will do our best.

00:58:12Keep your best.

00:58:13Save my dog.

00:58:15The pressure in the room

00:58:16dropped to freezing.

00:58:17I shrunk into the corner,

00:58:19trying to stay invisible.

00:58:20But just then,

00:58:23just then,

00:58:24a weak but furious voice

00:58:26exploded in my ears.

00:58:27Live my ass.

00:58:28If you don't get this thing

00:58:29out of my stomach,

00:58:30I'm meeting my maker.

00:58:31Stupid diamond ring.

00:58:33It's killing me.

00:58:34And that woman told me

00:58:35to keep quiet.

00:58:36Keep it yourself.

00:58:38I slowly turned to look

00:58:39at the woman standing

00:58:39behind Pierce Whitmore.

00:58:41Her name was

00:58:41Serafina Ashbed,

00:58:43the only woman ever

00:58:44linked to Pierce Whitmore.

00:58:45Right now,

00:58:46she was covering her mouth,

00:58:47sobbing.

00:58:48It's all my fault.

00:58:49If I hadn't taken Onyx

00:58:50to the garden today,

00:58:51this never would have happened.

00:58:52The moment Onyx

00:58:53heard her voice,

00:58:55her tail twitched in rage.

00:58:57Pretend!

00:58:58Keep pretending!

00:58:59Didn't you stuff that ring

00:59:00into a turkey treat

00:59:01and trick me into eating it?

00:59:02You said if I swallowed it,

00:59:04Pierce would feel sorry for you.

00:59:05Feel sorry for you?

00:59:06Not on my worst day!

00:59:08I got goosebumps all over.

00:59:10Is this the kind of

00:59:11rich family secret

00:59:11someone making three grand

00:59:13a month should be hearing?

00:59:14I quietly stepped back.

00:59:17Everyone looked at me.

00:59:19Pierce Whitmore looked at me too.

00:59:22You have something to say?

00:59:23I swallowed hard.

00:59:25Onyx gasped from the table,

00:59:26urging me on.

00:59:27Say it!

00:59:28Human!

00:59:28Hurry up!

00:59:29Any later and I'll be criminated

00:59:30with an eight-figure ring

00:59:31inside me.

00:59:34I closed my eyes

00:59:36and steeled myself.

00:59:38Mr. Whitmers,

00:59:39your dog might not just

00:59:40have regular poisoning.

00:59:42There's

00:59:43something in her stomach.

00:59:45Dead silence in the ER.

00:59:46The head threat

00:59:47was the first to frown.

00:59:48Alayda Vance,

00:59:48what are you talking about?

00:59:50That's right.

00:59:50My name is Alayra Vance,

00:59:52but no master's

00:59:53or PhD from a top school,

00:59:55no overseas training,

00:59:56so I'm always on the sidelines.

00:59:57Usually I don't even get

00:59:59to hand the surgeon

00:59:59their gloves.

01:00:00Now I'd spoken up

01:00:01in front of the East Coast's

01:00:02top haired.

01:00:03The head vet looked at me

01:00:04like I was a hamster

01:00:05trying to perform brain surgery.

01:00:06We already saw the scans.

01:00:08There's a shadow in the stomach,

01:00:09but it's unclear.

01:00:10Making wild guesses

01:00:12is unprofessional.

01:00:14We can do another

01:00:15contrast scan.

01:00:16Are you questioning

01:00:17my judgment?

01:00:19Here it comes.

01:00:20The usual workplace pressure.

01:00:22I was about to explain

01:00:24when Serafina spoke up softly.

01:00:26This young lady

01:00:27is just worried

01:00:27about Onyx, right?

01:00:29But Onyx is so weak already.

01:00:31Wouldn't more tests be cruel?

01:00:33Her voice was mental.

01:00:35Every word sounded

01:00:36like she cared about the dog,

01:00:37but Onyx was cucking up

01:00:39a storm in my head.

01:00:40Cruel my foot!

01:00:42Where was that concern

01:00:43when you fed me the ring?

01:00:45Don't listen to her, kid.

01:00:46She's got more tricks

01:00:47than there are

01:00:48freeze-dried bits

01:00:49in my kibble.

01:00:50Mr. Whitmore,

01:00:52we can't wait.

01:00:52If there's really something in there,

01:00:53we need to pinpoint it now.

01:00:56Pierce Whitmore

01:00:56studded me for two seconds.

01:00:59Run it.

01:01:00Mr. Whitmore?
