I Am Here Overseeing Things, What Do You Have To Be Scared Of!
Oakley lowered his head. âWe will see when the time comes.â
Gu Mengmeng didnât force the issue but just stood up and headed out. She paused as she was passing Oakley and spoke after a brief silence. âI just hope that you will not do anything that you might regret.â
Oakley didnât reply. Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng and left with brisk steps.
Time passed very fast and on the fifth day, Collin rushed into the stone castle to say that Sandyâs tummy hurt badly and looked like she was about to give birth.
Gu Mengmeng immediately had Elvis carry her and rush over. When they reached the stone house, they could hear Sandyâs gut-wrenching shrieks as she cried out her name. âGu Mengmeng... Gu... Mengmeng... is she here yet?!â
Without a care for anything else, Gu Mengmeng charged inside to hold Sandyâs hand. âHere, here. I have come now.â
Sandyâs forehead was drenched in sweat and she clutched back at Gu Mengmengâs hand. She gasped nasally, âPainful... so painful...â
Gu Mengmeng dragged Bode over and shoved his paws into Sandyâs hands. âThis was the bloke who caused you to suffer so much pain. Just bite him whenever you canât bear it. Bite off this paw and I will hand you the other one!â
Sandy gripped Bodeâs arm and nodded solemnly at Gu Mengmeng.
Gu Mengmeng had given birth before, but she didnât have any experience delivering a child...
She recalled that when she was giving birth, Lea had held her head while Elvis was the one who delivered the babies.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Should she... call Elvis over?
But that felt rather inappropriate.
Bodeâs heart ached as he watched Sandy suffer. But he had to go lick off the afterbirth from the newborns.
He looked around in a panic before shouting, âCollin.â
Collin had just entered bearing a pot of hot water. He hurried over the moment he heard Bode. âWhat?â
Bode grabbed Collinâs hand and passed it over to Sandy. He looked at Collin. âYou have to take my place this time. Next time when Sandy bears your children, I will return the favor.â
Collin looked confused and before he had time to understand what was going on, Sandy bit down on his hand. Collin growled in pain. âRoar...!â
Elvis and Lea both jumped in fright.
It was usually the females who screamed during childbirth. Why was it the males who were crying out instead at Sandyâs?!
Gu Mengmengâs heart ached for Sandy. She cleaned a small piece of animal skin with warm water before sitting beside her on the bed, using it to wipe Sandyâs face. âSandy, control your breathing, donât hold your breath.â
In Sandyâs eyes, Gu Mengmeng was her pillar of strength. She felt panicky and helpless and had no idea what to do. So she just did whatever Gu Mengmeng asked of her.
âAdali, clean this skin.â Gu Mengmeng tossed the animal skin in her hand to Sandyâs other bear partner. Adali was also spinning around in a fluster. Hearing Gu Mengmengâs command, he obeyed like a robot and washed the animal skins one after another. Having washed one, he would pass it to Gu Mengmeng and take over the used one to rewash it.
Overly anxious, Adali tore quite a few animal skins as he was washing it. As someone who was not afraid of tearing open a preyâs chest and gutting it, his hands were trembling non-stop now.
Gu Mengmeng shouted at him as she wiped Sandyâs face. âWhy are you in such a fluster! I am here overseeing things, what do you have to be scared of? Calm down!â
At Gu Mengmengâs shout, all those males who were at their witsâ end suddenly calmed down. They nodded and stood in a line by Gu Mengmengâs side, awaiting her instructions.
