The grief Arthur felt was too strong, and Right couldnât help but notice it. He used his smooth beak to nudge against Arthurâs chest.
âScreech screech~ Screech screech~â His soft voice was filled with concern, as if he was saying, âI like you too. I like you too.â
Arthur lowered his head, putting his forehead against Rightâs. He took in a deep breath, feeling complicated.
âGood little eagle, Iâll treat you very well, better than your mommy.â So... Iâm sorry.
He saved a lot of young children and helped many sick females in his lifetime. However, he was helpless when facing his own childrenâs death.
The little eagleâs mommy would have other children, but he wouldnât.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although his mate hadnât removed his spousal mark and he still had a chance to return to her side, he wouldnât have another chance at reproduction. Itâd be impossible for him to get the chance to take care of such an adorable and frail life anymore.
Therefore, let him be selfish for once. He only had the little eagle beastman now.
Even if he were to lose the chance to return to his mateâs side, he wanted to get the little eagle to stay. Let this be a punishment for him.
âLetâs go. The wild beasts might catch up very soon. Letâs rest after finding prey on the way, alright?â
Right nodded docilely. After Arthur turned into a fox, he flapped his wings and jumped onto his back. The two of them then continued on their way.
With how big the world was, it was very easy to avoid some people. Arthurâs gaze was determined. He had already thought out a plan.
He was going to head to the very borders of the world furthest from this place, join a random small village, and live a low-profile life from then on. Given his medical skills, ordinary villages would definitely not refuse him.
...
Bai Qingqing and the others found the last place where Arthur and Right had stayed at. From the eagle beastman scent, Right had been running here to and fro many times, and he had probably stayed for quite long here.
They searched this area and shouted for very long but didnât get any reply. Parker let out a snuff and then got up, turning into his human form.
âHmph, we shouted out as you said. That Arthur would definitely have heard us. But seeing how he hasnât shown himself, heâs clearly avoiding us,â Parker said in annoyance.
Bai Qingqing had some doubts as well. After hearing that, she felt uncomfortable. âAre you sure?â
Parker pointed to the ground and said, âRight ran between this spot and there more than 100 times. They definitely stayed here before. We searched in this area for so long yesterday. If that Arthur wasnât trying to hide from us, why did he not come out? He even disappeared again.â
Bai Qingqing was certain about this too, and her head ached a lot. She raised her hand and massaged her aching temples.
The pain of having lost his children must have caused Arthur to develop selfish thoughts. However, in most cases, more mothers had lost their child bringing up someone elseâs child. For example, a bird rearing a goldfish in a jar of water, or a human baby being brought up by a mother wolf.
But this was the first time that Bai Qingqing had heard of a male bringing up someone elseâs child. She felt both helpless and at a loss.
Damn, to think she would encounter such a thing too. It was really too much.
Winstonâs expression turned cold, carrying her up, then said decisively, âIt seems thereâs no need to search slowly anymore. Parker, you continue to track for their scents while Iâll go call back the eagle flock to catch him!â
âWe should have done that long ago!â After saying that, Parker turned into a leopard. Then, he lowered his head and ran quickly after the scent traces.
Parker was very smart. After finding out the other party was intentionally hiding his tracks, then itâd be understandable no matter how strange his route was.
