Beauty and the Beasts - Chapter 1030

Chapter 1030: Muir Joining Bones (2)

Bai Qingqing intentionally didn’t try to think of Muir. As time passed, she almost forgot about him. When she heard about him from Harvey, Muir’s image instantly appeared in her mind with great clarity.

People would experience many things and get to know many people in their lives. Some relationships might be enjoyable at the beginning but slowly fade away due to not contacting each other for a prolonged period of time. Some relationships might not seem important, with no attachments even when one let go of the other. However, these relationships were like good wine, becoming increasingly fragrant with time.

Muir was undoubtedly considered the latter in Bai Qingqing’s heart. Unknowingly, he had already been deeply engraved into her memories, becoming an existence that couldn’t be wiped out.

Bai Qingqing paced around anxiously, then placed a piece of animal skin over her head as she ran to the kitchen, heating the pot of meat that Parker had stewed this morning.

When Winston, who had just returned home, saw the smoke coming from the backyard, he quickly walked over to the kitchen. When he saw Bai Qingqing busy at work, he went over to help her.

“You’re hungry? Why didn’t you ask Curtis to help?” Winston took the firewood from her and added it to the fire, saying gently, “You can’t stand the smoke. Go outside and wait. I’ll bring the food to you after I heat it.”

Bai Qingqing threw a glance toward the bedroom from the kitchen window, then walked to Winston’s side and whispered by his ear, “I want to send this food to Muir. I don’t want to tell Curtis about it.”

Winston paused so slightly that it was unnoticeable, and his expression was stunned for an instant. However, he quickly concealed it.

“Alright, I’ll send it for you,” Winston said in his deep voice. His mature male voice made one uncontrollably want to rely on him.

Bai Qingqing relaxed and then sat on his thick legs, saying, “I feel assured with your help. Muir went to get his wing treated today. He has to break the bones on his wings and have them joined back. He probably won’t be able to move for many days. Who else is there to care for him if we don’t? It’d be too much work to leave it all to Harvey.”

Hearing his mate’s explanation in her soft voice, Winston’s tensed-up heart relaxed slightly. So, she was helping because Muir had difficulties. It wasn’t due to the reason he thought it to be.

A strong wind blew into the kitchen with the rain, sending the smoke everywhere and onto Bai Qingqing’s face. She immediately covered her nose and started coughing, feeling chest pain. It was only ordinary smoke, but she felt so uncomfortable that it was as if she was smelling gas.

The ailments left behind from not having proper confinement were really terrifying.

Winston quickly carried her out and placed her onto a seat that was cushioned by soft animal skin. He said, “Wait here. Leave the food to me.”

“I feel assured with you handling things.” Bai Qingqing smiled playfully, then planted a kiss on his stalwart face, quickly parting upon contact. Her pink and tender lips that were like peach blossom petals broke into a sweet smiling arch.

Winston felt that his face was a little hot, and his heart palpitated with joy. However, his face was calm as usual.

Looking at his mate’s exquisite and flawless smiling face, Winston rubbed her head naturally, then stood up and headed to the kitchen. Although he looked composed, his slightly messed-up footsteps gave his anxiety away.

However, Bai Qingqing didn’t have such a great sense of hearing and didn’t notice Winston’s embarrassment. She waited anxiously for the food to be ready.

She sat on the stool quietly, occasionally shaking her legs, unaware that a pair of blood-red eyes were fixed on her since a long time ago.

Behind a bunch of bushes in the courtyard, the red and black snake pressed down on the ground soaked by the rainwater, then turned to slither away, climbing into the bedroom from the window.

Parker had left and Muir had also lost his battle prowess at this time. Curtis frowned, vaguely feeling that something wasn’t right.
