Chapter 733 - Antidote (2/2)
“I’ll go to Flame City to ask for the antidote. Whether the scorpion king chooses to give it to me, it’s up to him.” Winston said, “I’ll go when the light rainy season arrives.”
Now that Curtis had gone into hibernation, Parker wouldn’t be able to take good care of Bai Qingqing all by himself. As such, he could only wait around here for now.
After some thinking, Bai Qingqing didn’t object to his suggestion. It was the cold season now, and the heavy snow had covered the entire forest. Also, due to the great disparity in temperatures between day and night in the desert, it was definitely much colder there compared to the forest. She couldn’t bear for Winston to risk his life.
When Parker carried An’an home, one glance at Bai Qingqing and he instantly felt heartache.
“Didn’t you sleep at all? Your eyes are awfully red. Hurry up and go to bed,” said Parker. Having been tormented by the baby for an entire night, he looked completely exhausted as well, and his voice also sounded kind of raspy.
Bai Qingqing rubbed her blurry eyes. “I’m hungry.”
Parker smiled. “I’ll go and whip up something for you to eat. Hurry up and go lie down for a short rest. I’ll wake you up later.”
“Mm.” Bai Qingqing responded as she took the baby from him.
Having cried for an entire night, An’an’s lips had turned chapped and she looked much more haggard than yesterday. Heart aching terribly for her, Bai Qingqing carried her to the bed to breastfeed her.
The famished An’an instinctively started sucking even while she was sleeping. Even Bai Qingqing could feel that An’an’s mouth was very dry.
“Be good, An’an…” Bai Qingqing gently patted her. Suddenly, she felt two gentle pats upon her own back.
Winston sat down by her side and pulled her into his embrace.
Having coaxed An’an for an entire night, Parker felt like smoke was about to emerge from his throat. The moment he walked into the kitchen, he gulped down three large bowls of water, before starting to prepare breakfast for Bai Qingqing.
A simple bowl of fishball noodle soup was prepared in no time. Bai Qingqing had an especially good appetite today. After eating, she very quickly drifted off to sleep with An’an in her arms.
After the mother-and-daughter duo fell asleep, Winston told Parker about An’an’s condition, making Parker so infuriated he transformed into his beast form and sank his teeth into him.
