“The leopard cubs have always been very good. They won’t do anything overboard. Don’t worry,” Winston said.

Muir threw him a glance but continued to keep silent.

Bai Qingqing took a look at Muir, took away the soup that had turned cold, and brought a bowl of hot soup to him.

“Have a little bit more.” Bai Qingqing persuaded him. Seeing how Muir was, she didn’t feel too hopeful.

As expected, he shook his head. This time around, he was determined to not take in any more water.

He must stay firm until the eggs hatched.

Bai Qingqing lowered her head helplessly and ended up drinking the soup herself. She lay down on the nest next to Muir and had her afternoon nap. Covered by the blanket, her hand gently stroked one of Muir’s feathers.

Muir looked toward his mate and his gaze finally softened. He lowered his body so that they could be closer together.

After Parker left the bedroom, he went everywhere to look for the snake den. He first went a few rounds around the stone castle, then went to some more concealed places nearby. However, he didn’t find a single trace of snake scent.

“Damn it! He doesn’t give others peace even when he’s hibernating.” Parker scratched a piece of bark, leaving behind a white claw mark on the brown tree trunk.

Parker eventually decided to not believe in the cubs’ words.

In the many days that followed, Muir continued to refuse to eat. His body became increasingly skinny, and even though he had a layer of feathers on him, it couldn’t hide how dry and shriveled his body was. He was like a bone rack wearing a feather coat.

Muir instinctively knew that eagle eggs wouldn’t take so long to hatch. The nest of eggs under his stomach was probably… likely gone.

However, he still persisted in watching over them. On the 45th day of incubating the eggs, he felt movements coming from under his stomach.

“Coo-coo~” Muir’s weak voice rang out from his slightly opened beak and he stood up slowly. His eyes, which had been listless for half a month, instantly lit up to an astonishing degree.
