After Winston busied himself for half a day, Parker finally finished cooking the food, relieving him of the care duties.

The family ate in the bedroom. By the time they filled up their stomachs, the skies had turned dark.

With a puffed up belly, Bai Qingqing laid on the bed and happened to catch sight of the large, silver, and round moon outside the window.

“It’s a full moon tonight,” Bai Qingqing said as she gazed at the moon. “Seems like we picked a good day to move.”

Parker walked to the side of the bed and said in a shocked tone as he looked towards the moon as well, “The moon is really big tonight.”

“Yeah, so pretty!” Bai Qingqing said. Such clear moons couldn’t be seen in the modern ages. Moreover, this moon was much larger than the one she used to see on Earth.

An’an, who had just drunk her fill, pooped, peed, and fell asleep, then let out two “Mm” sounds as her face gradually crumpled up. Then, she suddenly burst into a loud wail.

Parker and Bai Qingqing instantly lost the mood to admire the moon. He picked up An’an and started coaxing her in a trained manner.

“Did she poop?” Bai Qingqing asked, looking a little panicked.

This was the first time she heard An’an cry. Every time, she would only make some babyish sounds and, before she burst into tears, she would have been serviced well.

In order to attract the attention of parents and obtain more well-rounded care, babies’ cries were even more ear-piercing than that of females. An’an’s cries made Bai Qingqing feel uncomfortable from head to toe.

Parker reached into An’an’s swaddling clothes and felt around, then said, “She didn’t pee or poop. I’m guessing she’s hungry. Why don’t you feed her now?”

Bai Qingqing instantly took the baby from him. She covered herself with the blanket and unbuttoned her clothes. However, An’an merely continued crying with her mouth open, refusing to bite anything.

Winston walked over after clearing the table.

“An’an has been crying. I don’t know what’s wrong with her,” Bai Qingqing said worriedly with An’an fidgeting restlessly in her arms. She was just coaxing the baby when An’an suddenly vomited milk onto her clothes.

Thrown into complete panic mode, the events of today and the past few days flashed past her mind rapidly.

“Did she catch a cold while we were moving here? Or was it because you bathed her for too long just now?” Bai Qingqing then said to Winston, “Quickly go to Harvey, get him to come over and look at An’an.”

“Mm.” Winston ran out speedily, transforming into a tiger in the midst of running.

Shrouded in moonlight, the fur all over the white tiger’s body seemed to give off a silver shimmer, his muscles apparent as he sprinted. He suddenly halted and looked up at the bright moon in the night skies. His pupils shrunk before he broke into an even faster sprint.

Very quickly, Harvey was brought to the stone castle, becoming the first beastman outside of Bai Qingqing’s family to visit.

By now, An’an’s tiny face had turned flushed from crying, and her chin was covered in saliva. Parker’s attempts to wipe away the saliva only resulted in her tender skin turning redder and even showing signs of bleeding. Subsequently, he didn’t dare to touch her anymore, simply letting her chin remain covered in saliva.

Bai Qingqing, who had been staring at the entrance, instantly said at Harvey’s sight, “You’re finally here. Please take a look at An’an! Is she sick?”

Though she knew that medical science wasn’t as advanced in this world, Harvey was more professional than her, after all. Like clutching at a life-saving straw, she strode towards him.

Harvey patted her shoulder reassuringly before walking to An’an’s side. When he saw her face, he paused momentarily, before instantly checking her body.

Bai Qingqing took this time to tell Harvey about what happened today, finally ending with: “She was still fine before I fed her. She even drank more milk than she usually did. After the skies darkened, she suddenly started acting like this.”

After a thorough checkup, Harvey tightly furrowed his brows and said as he shook his head, “I have no idea what the cause is either.”
