Chapter 970: Reviving at Full Health Points

Sleepiness seemed infectious. The leopard cubs didn’t dare to leave their mommy’s side. So, they laid down next to her and fell asleep as well.

When Curtis came back with the prey, he saw the room filled with his sleeping mate and the young children.

Bai Qingqing was holding loosely onto a piece of jerky, which had her saliva and a few deep teeth marks on it. Bai Qingqing must have battled against this piece of jerky for very long before falling asleep and eventually was defeated.

Curtis couldn’t help but laugh, and his cold heart softened. He placed the prey on one side and walked over to her side, took the piece of jerky from her hand, then carried her up.

Bai Qingqing opened her eyes while in a daze, her vision still blurred, but she could smell Curtis’s scent. She said with a strong nasal voice, “You’re back?”

“En, you can sleep. I’ll wake you up after the food is ready.” Curtis’s voice sounded so gentle that she could drown in them, having a hint of hypnotic power.

Bai Qingqing snuggled in his arms, then shut her eyes and went into a deep slumber. She didn’t even show any reaction when Curtis placed her in the grass nest.

Curtis saw that Bai Qingqing was so weak and was afraid that she wouldn’t have the strength to chew, so he specially made stewed meat. The meat was stewed over strong flames, but Curtis didn’t rest. He cleaned the house entirely.

Two hours later, Bai Qingqing woke up naturally, feeling starved.

She touched her flattened stomach, feeling doubtful. Could there be children inside?

Curtis walked in with a big porcelain bowl emitting seething smoke. As a light breeze blew, the fragrance filled up the entire house.

Bai Qingqing slurped her saliva and quickly sat up. “It smells so good!”

Curtis’s heart ached for her, and he walked over to the grass nest with a few big strides, handing Bai Qingqing only a pair of chopsticks while holding onto the bowl for her.

This was a bowl of simple braised meat with starch noodles. It was very light, and given Curtis’s culinary skills, he probably only added a bit of salt. However, the taste was refreshing and tempting, piquing one’s appetite.

Food made from natural ingredients really tasted different. Just braising them would produce a great delicacy.

Bai Qingqing’s appetite was piqued, and she started eating while holding chopsticks.

It could be because she had arrived back at home that Bai Qingqing felt that she had become a lot delicate. She was so weak that she couldn’t even hold onto the chopsticks properly.

Not wanting Curtis to see her as a joke, she tried to stabilize her hand. Her gaze was like that of a starving wolf, but her movements were very slow.

How could Curtis not be able to tell? He took away her chopsticks. Bai Qingqing stared at the meat in the bowl and pouted. When her chopsticks were taken away from her, she immediately looked up at Curtis, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Curtis smiled and picked up food with the chopsticks, bringing it to her mouth. “Eat.”

Only then did Bai Qingqing feel assured, opening her mouth to eat.

All the starch noodles and soup entered Bai Qingqing’s stomach. She sweated all over from eating, then leaned against the wall to digest the food while feeling satisfied.

An’an woke up from the fragrance of the food, sitting by the side and watching eagerly. Bai Qingqing only noticed her when she turned her head, then immediately carried her in her arms.

“An’an must be hungry,” Bai Qingqing said while pulling her clothes down. An’an nudged against her mommy’s chest with great familiarity.

Bai Qingqing had just eaten food, and it hadn’t been converted into milk yet. An’an sucked for a while but didn’t manage to get anything. She released her mouth and then gulped, looking pitiful.

Curtis brought another bowl of soup. When the fragrance spread in the air, Bai Qingqing noticed that An’an started swallowing her saliva even more aggressively. Her silver-gray eyes stared straight at the bowl.

An’an must be wanting to eat food now. She was over seven months old, so she should be able to drink soup now.

Bai Qingqing thought to herself. When Curtis sat down by her side, she scooped away the layer of oil with the spoon, then fed the clear soup under it to An’an.
