Chapter 716: Baby Is Born!

“The baby is born!” Parker crawled out of the blanket with a damp baby in his arms. “There’s no need to slice open her stomach.”

Before he finished his words, the baby was exposed in the air, revealing her bloody appearance. Parker’s excited voice abruptly came to a halt.

“Why is there so much blood?” Harvey briskly walked over. He lifted the blanket and got a shock right away. “This is bad. She’s bleeding.”

With a panicked expression, Parker strode to Bai Qingqing’s side. “Qingqing?”

Ssss~ Curtis flicked out his tongue to detect Bai Qingqing’s breathing, then hugged her body tightly.

The anxious Parker wanted to take a look as well, but he couldn’t, with Curtis blocking in front of him.

Winston speedily squeezed into the blanket to look at Bai Qingqing’s wound. What he saw made him freeze.

Harvey was squeezed away by those males.

“How’s Qingqing right now?” Parker asked, terror evident in his tone with the baby in his arms.

There was a painful look on Harvey’s face and pity in his eyes as he gazed at him. Then, he slowly shook his head.

“Impossible! Qingqing is still alive!” Parker immediately turned towards Bai Qingqing. Although he couldn’t hug her, he could still hear her weak breathing.

Harvey looked towards the female baby that wasn’t showing any movement and said, “Hand the baby to me first. She’s unable to breathe.”

Only then did Parker realize that the baby in his arms hadn’t 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 baby’s 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 baby’s buttocks twice.

Waa! Waa! The baby’s 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 didn’t dare to come out.

Harvey heaved a sigh of relief and said, “Thankfully, the female baby is fine.”

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 baby’s tummy, then reached for an animal skin lying beside and wrapped her with it.

Winston, standing aside, suddenly trembled and cried out in delight, “Qingqing has stopped bleeding!”

Parker and Curtis immediately looked towards the blanket. Harvey walked over to Bai Qingqing’s side and checked her breathing, before lifting her eyelids to check her eyes.

With his heart in his throat, Parker’s voice unconsciously turned softer. “How is she?”

Harvey was silent momentarily, before letting out another sigh. “She’s too frail. Usually, females who are this frail wouldn’t survive.”

Parker’s heart sank, and he immediately asked, “Don’t regard her as a female. What if it’s a male? Would a male this frail be able to survive?”

“Of course,” Harvey replied without hesitation.

Parker knelt by Bai Qingqing’s side and said affirmatively, “Qingqing will definitely survive this. She’s not as delicate and frail as the other females. She’s strong-willed and won’t die so easily!”

Harvey said, “A person’s 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.”

“Mm.” Parker instantly sat down by Bai Qingqing’s side and started mumbling stuff to her.

As Curtis typically didn’t talk that much, he let go of her.

Winston had wanted to go over, but he had just moved one leg closer to Bai Qingqing’s side when Parker twisted his head and howled at him.
