Different from humans, female beastmen could only conceive a few days after they went into heat. Hence, it was possible to calculate with precision the time of conception.
âSeems like a female baby,â Harvey said confidently.
Mollyâs expression turned even more dazed. She first broke into a smile, before it vanished from her face, and a panicked expression appeared in her eyes.
This female baby must be Carlâs.
Although she had also mated with Edgar, at the time it had been quite a while after she went into heat, so she couldnât have conceived then.
âBai Qingqing, Iâll go back first.â Molly got to her feet and walked away dazedly.
Just from her reaction alone, Bai Qingqing could guess who the father was. She couldnât help sighing with emotion about how the god of destiny made a fool of them.
The things that were out of Carlâs reach while he was alive became his after his deathâunderstanding from his mate and a precious offspring.
However, it was incredible that Harvey was able to tell these sorts of things from just a sniff!
Harvey cast a strange glance at her back view, but very quickly his attention was seized away by Bai Qingqingâs puffed up belly.
He couldnât help letting out a sigh. âBai Qingqing, youâre pregnant again.â
Despite Harveyâs reserved nature, Bai Qingqing could still tell the meaning behind his wordsâBai Qingqing, you truly are fertile!
This was made particularly apparent by that sigh.
Bai Qingqing was embarrassed. Just then, the leopard cubs came running from afar having sniffed the scent of a fellow leopard.
Roar roar roar~ [Mommy!]
Roar roar roar~ [Mommy!]
They started calling out from afar. Just like all leopards, they had explosive power. Moving on their well-toned and long limbs, one could only see three yellow figures sprinting.
As the three of them were the only leopards among the tigers, Harvey instantly understood what their relationship with Bai Qingqing was.
And then, he let out another sigh, this time minus the reservednessâso fertile!
Bai Qingqingâs face exploded with redness.
Thankfully, Winston now was the indisputable big boss here, so she wasnât afraid that formidable beastmen would hold her captive and force her to keep giving birth.
âHow long have you been pregnant?â Harvey asked.
Speaking of her baby, Bai Qingqing was filled with joy. She caressed her tummy and replied, âItâs a female baby, about five to six months. I donât know exactly how long either.â
âYou donât know?â Harvey asked in turn, confusion in his tone.
Parker answered on her behalf, âItâs been a long time, so itâs inevitable she lost track. Hurry up and take a look at her. Howâs our female baby growing?â
Harvey touched Bai Qingqingâs entire stomach with his hand, then said, âShe should be five months into her pregnancy.â
âOh.â Bai Qingqing nodded. âWhat if itâs six months?â
If it was Winstonâs, it would just nice be six months.
âThen, it means the baby is a tad small.â Harvey went on to ask, âHowâs the fetal movement?â
The cubs sniffed about Harvey. As Bai Qingqing watched them, a look of recollection surfaced in her eyes. âWhen I was pregnant with the leopard cubs, I could sense the fetal movement by the time my stomach was this big. Why isnât my female baby moving even till now? When does one sense fetal movement with a female baby?â
She gazed at Harvey with anticipation, yet the latterâs countenance suddenly changed.
âYou said the female baby didnât move even till now?â Harvey asked nervously.
Startled, Bai Qingqing said honestly, âNo, she hasnât.â
Parker also panicked. âIs there a problem?â
Harvey pressed his ear against Bai Qingqingâs stomach and listened for a while, before saying, âUsually, you should sense fetal movement about four months in. This could mean that the female baby is very weak, so weak that you didnât sense her fetal movement. You need to take note going forward.â
âMm, mm.â At the thought of how she might be six months pregnant, Bai Qingqing felt even more panicked.
âDonât worry. You need to stay relaxed.â Harvey comforted. âIâll go and pick some herbs that are beneficial to the fetus right away.â
Parker held Bai Qingqing in his arms and stroked the top of her head reassuringly, then said to him, âIâll come along with you.â
