âSsssââ
Curtis had also come up to the top floor without anyone noticing. When he heard Bai Qingqingâs words, he emitted a cold disposition.
That soft little thing suddenly became unusually irksome in his eyes.
âYouâll be in danger!â Curtis said.
Bai Qingqing knew that Curtis was angry. If it was in the past, sheâd have given in. However, when her child was concerned, her attitude was firm.
âAs long as Anâan can be cured, I wonât be afraid no matter how dangerous it is,â Bai Qingqing said firmly.
Curtisâs pupils narrowed, and he emitted killing intent.
Bai Qingqing hugged Anâan closely in her arms and looked straight into his eyes without any signs of backing off.
The setting sun dyed the clouds in a brilliant fiery red color, making Curtisâs pupils that had contracted into a thin line appear increasingly blood-red and dangerous.
Parker suddenly stood in front of Bai Qingqing and looked straight at Curtis, whose gaze was filled with killing intent.
âWhat are you thinking of doing?â
Parker got onto his guard and bent his legs slightly as if he was ready to leap at any moment.
Only then did Bai Qingqing notice Curtisâs killing intent. She stiffened and hugged Anâan even closer to her.
Seeing that Bai Qingqing was fully reliant on the leopard beastman, Curtisâs heart seethed like the tsunamis. He clenched his hands by his side tightly together.
âI only want you to be well.â After Curtis said that, he looked at them coldly and then swayed his snake tail and went down.
Bai Qingqing didnât expect him to have such a cold and aloof attitude toward Anâan. She was stunned. She grabbed Parkerâs arm and pleaded in a crying tone. âYou must help me.â
Even Winston might not have agreed to this. Mature males were more rational and wouldnât let their mates be exposed to the slightest danger.
However, Parker was only in his twenties. Being at a hot-blooded age, how could he stand watching his mate crying? He immediately agreed.
âIâll do whatever you want me to do.â
Bai Qingqing leaned against his chest, rubbing her face against him. âThank you.â
The two of them cuddled together and stood there for very long.
The sky turned dark, transforming the world dark for a moment, then was encompassed by a layer of cold moonlight.
Anâan opened her eyes wide and looked around. Her gaze was then fixed on the luminous ball on the wood that she was holding onto.
Only then did Bai Qingqing understand that Anâan had treated the light as her hope. She thought that the sky was bright and that she wouldnât be in pain.
Bai Qingqingâs heart wrenched up, and she held onto Anâan tightly.
Sensing Anâanâs body tensing up, Bai Qingqing thought of something and quickly backed out from the range of the moonlight, turning to dash toward the stairway.
This toxicity might have a similar principle as to how the tides were affected by the moonâs gravity. It might be beneficial to bring Anâan to a lower place.
Parker immediately chased after her. âQingqing, run slower.â
The adults were all thrown into a state of anxiety. Anâan cried loudly in the stairway, putting up a fierce struggle in Bai Qingqingâs arms.
The strength of a six-month-old child was very big. Bai Qingqing was unable to hold onto her and passed her to Parker midway.
Both of them dashed into the bedroom. The room was pitch-black, and Bai Qingqing anxiously brought out the luminous ball from the chest. Only then did she notice that Curtis was in the room as well.
However, his gaze was very cold, especially when he looked at Anâan.
Knowing that Curtis had a killing intent toward Anâan, Bai Qingqing felt even more anxious.
Anâanâs cry was sharp and piercing. Bai Qingqing was afraid that Curtis would kill Anâan because he felt annoyed.
Anâan went into a loud wailing mode again, and there was no way to coax her. The two adults didnât waste any effort in trying and just watched over her anxiously by her side.
At the latter half of the night, Bai Qingqing was unable to hold on anymore. She turned and took a glance at Curtis. His eyes were open too.
