Chapter 712: Due Date Looms (4)

Curtis still couldn’t be at ease and said to Parker, “Go call the doctor and get him to take a look.”
“I’ll go right away.” Parker immediately agreed, acting in such a coordinated manner that it seemed as if they were old battle comrades.
Winston was still busy building the stone castle.
Some matters had been delayed due to the heavy rainy season, so Winston’s work completion date was delayed for many days as well. It was still incomplete even though the cold season had arrived.
To allow Bai Qingqing to stay in the stone castle during the cold season, Winston would head out early in the morning and come back late. Today, he came back at a very late hour as well.
Winston immediately felt that the atmosphere wasn’t right the moment he entered the tree hole. His ears perked up as he realized that the doctor was at home as well.
He didn’t eat the food Parker left behind for him and went up the tree hole straightaway. Realizing that Qingqing might have given birth, he unknowingly held back his breath.
It was so quiet. Could it be that… Qingqing had already given birth and had fallen asleep?
Winston felt regretful and went over to the bed without reducing his speed.
Seeing that there was still a big bulge under the blanket, he heaved a huge sigh of relief.
“Harvey, why are you still here?” Winston asked in a deep voice.
Harvey took a look at him and withdrew his smile. Due to the “mating” incident, he had never shown a good attitude toward Winston.
“Bai Qingqing started to have labor pains today. She’s going to give birth soon.”
Winston almost forgot how to control his body and squatted down in a daze, placing his hand on the blanket where the bulge was.
“When will she be giving birth?”
“It’s very likely to be false labor pains. If that’s the case, then there’s still over ten days. If not, then she’ll give birth either today or tomorrow. However, hearing from what Parker said, the possibility of it being real labor pain is very low,” Harvey said.
Winston’s hand kept on touching Bai Qingqing’s stomach, seemingly helpless as he mumbled, “Another ten or more days… Ten or more days…”
Parker threw him a sideways glance. Winston was also exceptionally cold toward him today.
They knew that this female child had a high possibility to be Winston’s child.
Winston licked his lips and suddenly stood up. “I’ll go build the house!”
Even if he couldn’t let Qingqing give birth comfortably in the nest, then he must let her recuperate in a comfortable environment.
After saying that, he rapidly went down from the tree hole and turned into his beast form. He took a few bites of food and then ran off.
There were now several tens of residences around the vacant land in the center of the village, slowly taking the form of a city. There was a heartwarming wooden house every few hundred meters, and the surrounding trees were hung with plenty of food.
The smoked meat by the beastmen was no longer for them to trade for salt, but to be kept for them to eat during the cold season. The tiger beastmen liked to eat fish, so many families made a lot of fish balls as well.
A white tiger flashed by at lightning speed in the dark night, nimbly climbing up the only brick building in this stretch of empty land.
The stone castle had already been built to the fifth floor. Only one more floor remained.
The white tiger stood on the wall, raised his head, and roared out loudly toward the sky. “Roar—”
After his voice ended, the white tiger turned into a man with a burly physique. He picked up tools and started hammering away on the walls.
Clanking sounds rang away throughout the night, disturbing the sleep of several hundred beastmen.
Some males ran out angrily to take a look but sheepishly returned after seeing that it was the tiger king.
Such disturbing nights continued for over ten days. A towering and majestic stone castle stood in the center of the stretch of land—Winston had finally completed the stone castle before Bai Qingqing went into labor.
The cold wind blew, feeling sharp as blades. However, the man standing on the roof broke out in heavy sweat.
Winston wiped off the sweat on his face and looked down. He realized that the world had already been covered with white snow without him realizing it.
