Chapter 388 Come to Mama

However, his strength and his status in Bai Qingqing’s heart were both below Muir. So, there was no way he could come in even if he wanted to.
Bai Qingqing looked over with difficulty, her voice sounding weak and anxious. “Quickly, let me take a look.”
Muir’s limbs were long, so he reached out his long arm, lifting the small thing on the floor.
It was a moist meatball, coated with a light yellow translucent layer on the outside. Muir didn’t mind that it was dirty and carefully peeled off this layer with his other hand.
This posture let Bai Qingqing entirely rest in Muir’s arms. She was in no condition to care about that at the moment. All of her attention was on that little life.
The leopard cub’s fur was fine and soft, and she could see his reddish skin. When he lay in Muir’s palm, he was only a little longer than his palm, looking plump like a bun that had just come out from the steamer.
In that instant, Bai Qingqing even forgot to breathe. Her mouth was loosely opened.
Was this fragile little thing that made her stomach so painful that it was hard for her to sit or stand during the fetal movements?
“Meow—”
As the outer layer was peeled open, the leopard cub opened his mouth and let out a childish cry that was like that of a kitten.
After that, the leopard cub opened his bright, dark-yellow eyes. The child’s pupils were like a magical spring, having a dark color like opal that had settled down.
When Bai Qingqing met the gaze of the newborn cub, her soul was drawn away by it.
He looked so much like Parker.
A trickle of tears flowed down from the corner of Bai Qingqing’s eyes. Half the reason was that she felt moved, the other was because of grief.
To think that Parker really didn’t manage to make it in time. Curtis didn’t come either.
They couldn’t have gotten into trouble, could they?
Due to her pregnancy, Bai Qingqing would stay in the house most of the time, only taking a walk under the tree occasionally. It seemed that it had been very long since she had gone out.
She suddenly had an atrocious delusion—the peacock village was like a luxurious cage. Muir used his finger to poke the leopard cub. After moving his soft limbs, the cub stood up as his legs trembled.
Bai Qingqing immediately returned to her senses, not daring to exert too much force. She was afraid that the cub might fall from her breath after he had gone through so much difficulty to stand up.
“He’s so small…” Bai Qingqing let out a soft gasp. She raised her hand and wanted to touch it when she suddenly felt pain in her stomach.
“Ah!”
“You’re in pain again? Don’t look at the child, quickly give birth.” Muir quickly placed the cub onto an animal skin at the side, his arms tightly circling around her body.
Bai Qingqing bit her lower lips, her pale face that was drenched in sweat, seeming to be in pain.
The second one came out a lot easier, taking only about one minute or so. Bai Qingqing took a short rest, then summoned the energy to give birth to a third.
There was no pain in her stomach for the moment, and Bai Qingqing lay weakly in Muir’s embrace. It hadn’t been long, but her body was already drenched in sweat, and even the roots of her hair were half soaked.
“You’re done?” Muir hugged her and only asked after a while.
Bai Qingqing panted a little before saying with difficulty, “En… I think so.”
Muir carried Bai Qingqing up, using one hand to carry her while bending over and laying out a clean animal skin on the ground with the other. He then placed her on it.
Bai Qingqing was extremely tired, but her mind was still on the leopard cubs. She turned to look toward them.
“Meow— Meow—”
The leopard cubs kept on crying out instinctively. Muir had cleaned their coating, and their bodies were wet, with wet light yellow traces on their body. They wobbled as they stood, twisting their thick and short necks that were almost non-existent, looking toward Bai Qingqing and walking toward her shakily.
Bai Qingqing grinned, waving her weak rubber-like hand and saying gently, “Be good, come to mama.”
