âThe baby is born!â Parker crawled out of the blanket with a damp baby in his arms. âThereâs no need to slice open her stomach.â
Before he finished his words, the baby was exposed in the air, revealing her bloody appearance. Parkerâs excited voice abruptly came to a halt.
âWhy is there so much blood?â Harvey briskly walked over. He lifted the blanket and got a shock right away. âThis is bad. Sheâs bleeding.â
With a panicked expression, Parker strode to Bai Qingqingâs side. âQingqing?â
Ssss~
Curtis flicked out his tongue to detect Bai Qingqingâs breathing, then hugged her body tightly.
The anxious Parker wanted to take a look as well, but he couldnât, with Curtis blocking in front of him.
Winston speedily squeezed into the blanket to look at Bai Qingqingâs wound. What he saw made him freeze.
Harvey was squeezed away by those males.
âHowâs Qingqing right now?â Parker asked, terror evident in his tone with the baby in his arms.
There was a painful look on Harveyâs face and pity in his eyes as he gazed at him. Then, he slowly shook his head.
âImpossible! Qingqing is still alive!â Parker immediately turned towards Bai Qingqing. Although he couldnât hug her, he could still hear her weak breathing.
Harvey looked towards the female baby that wasnât showing any movement and said, âHand the baby to me first. Sheâs unable to breathe.â
Only then did Parker realize that the baby in his arms hadnât moved at all since she was born. He quickly removed the layer of fetal membrane from the baby. Seeing that there was still an umbilical cord on the babyâs tummy, he had thought it was just like the fetal membrane and was about to yank it off. Harvey got such a shock that he quickly dashed over to snatch the baby away from him.
Pa! Pa!
Harvey gently smacked the babyâs buttocks twice.
Waa! Waa! The babyâs ear-piercing cries filled the small tree hole.
The leopard cubs that had been chased away by the adults stuck out their little heads from their nest and exchanged glances, then let out a few excited roars. However, they didnât dare to come out.
Harvey heaved a sigh of relief and said, âThankfully, the female baby is fine.â
The female baby fell quiet after those two obligatory cries.
Harvey squatted down and placed the baby on an animal skin, then meticulously tied a knot with her umbilical cord. For the remaining long piece of cord, he coiled it and placed it on the babyâs tummy, then reached for an animal skin lying beside and wrapped her with it.
Winston, standing aside, suddenly trembled and cried out in delight, âQingqing has stopped bleeding!â
Parker and Curtis immediately looked towards the blanket. Harvey walked over to Bai Qingqingâs side and checked her breathing, before lifting her eyelids to check her eyes.
With his heart in his throat, Parkerâs voice unconsciously turned softer. âHow is she?â
Harvey was silent momentarily, before letting out another sigh. âSheâs too frail. Usually, females who are this frail wouldnât survive.â
Parkerâs heart sank, and he immediately asked, âDonât regard her as a female. What if itâs a male? Would a male this frail be able to survive?â
âOf course,â Harvey replied without hesitation.
Parker knelt by Bai Qingqingâs side and said affirmatively, âQingqing will definitely survive this. Sheâs not as delicate and frail as the other females. Sheâs strong-willed and wonât die so easily!â
Harvey said, âA personâs life is the frailest at midnight. If she can make it past tonight, she will live. You three continue to talk to her, perhaps it will help her to persist on.â
âMm.â Parker instantly sat down by Bai Qingqingâs side and started mumbling stuff to her.
As Curtis typically didnât talk that much, he let go of her.
Winston had wanted to go over, but he had just moved one leg closer to Bai Qingqingâs side when Parker twisted his head and howled at him.
