Chapter 638: Don't Cry, Snow  

For efficiency’s sake, Harvey nodded in agreement. Parker called for Winston to come over, before going out of the village with Harvey.

With her back leaning against the large tree, Bai Qingqing looked as though she was about to burst into tears.

Winston got anxious and strode over to her side. “What’s the matter?”

Seeing his female’s thin shoulders, Winston felt pained. He raised his arms and hesitated a little before finally pulling her into his embrace.

“Not feeling well?”

Bai Qingqing held him back, and the latter’s body instantly turned as stiff as a wooden rod, his actions becoming unnatural.

But her subsequent words instantly shook Winston out of that mood.

“Winston, Harvey said the baby is very weak.” As the top of Bai Qingqing’s head only reached underneath Winston’s chest muscles, locked in an embrace, the pair resembled a father-and-daughter-duo more than a married couple.

She looked up at him. “You were the first one to mate with me. If the baby belongs to you, the situation could be direr.”

“No! It definitely isn’t mine!” Winston said in a stern voice before Bai Qingqing even finished her sentence.

Sensing the female’s body trembling in his embrace, Winston instantly kept away his fierce demeanor and gently patted her back. “We’ve only mated once, while you were with them every day. There’s a much higher likelihood of it being theirs. Don’t be too worried.”

Winston’s earlier response made Bai Qingqing feel even more flustered. Other males would vie to have offspring, and even the iceberg Curtis desired to have babies. Yet, Winston seemed terrified of having kids of his own?

Why? Could it be because there was a problem with his health, such that his babies would be unhealthy?

Recalling the reason that caused her to mate with Winston, realization dawned on Bai Qingqing. She gripped Winston’s arms tightly, the anxiety making her lose her composure. “How’s the scorpion venom?”

Winston said, “I’ve recovered a long time ago.”

Bai Qingqing exhaled and stroked her tummy. “That means the baby will be fine as well, right?”

Winston kept quiet and said nothing in response.

“Why aren’t you saying anything?” Feeling immensely uneasy, Bai Qingqing shook him vigorously.

Winston gulped his saliva with much difficulty and said, “If it’s male cubs, there’s no need to worry. But if it’s a female baby… the female is too frail.”

Bai Qingqing loosened her grip on him. Unable to keep her footing, she nearly fell sitting on the floor when her legs gave way. Thankfully, Winston was standing nearby and managed to grab her just before she fell.

“The baby must be Parker’s or Curtis’s. There’s no need to be excessively worried,” Winston said.

“Mm.” Bai Qingqing caressed her tummy and said, “Perhaps she will start moving if I speak with her.”

Wasn’t there such a thing as prenatal training? Such stuff should have some effects, right?

With this thought, Bai Qingqing lowered her head and said to her stomach, “My good baby, move a little to let Mommy know, okay?”

Looking at his frail spouse, Winston’s heart ached as though needles were pricking at it. He lifted her horizontally and said, “I’ll carry you back to the tree hole to rest.”

As tiger beastmen’s fingernails weren’t as sharp as leopard beastmen’s, and their bodies weren’t as light as well, they definitely couldn’t compare with a leopard beastman when it came to climbing a tree. However, Winston’s body was muscular enough, so he latched onto the wall five meters above ground with just one leap. He first sent Bai Qingqing into the tree hole, before squeezing inside himself.

Like that, he climbed level by level. When he reached the fifth level, before he could raise Bai Qingqing, he felt the load in his arms lighten.

Curtis, who heard their conversation perfectly up there, curled Bai Qingqing into his arms the minute she came up.

“Don’t cry, Snow.” He caressed her face with his icy fingers and kissed away the tears upon her eyes.

“Curtis…” Bai Qingqing called out to him in a muffled voice with her face buried in his embrace.
