NOVPUBChapter 1354: 641 Newborn_1 Chapter 1354: 641 Newborn_1 Indeed, the Mythical Beast was a coward at heart, swiftly scampering behind Aubree Groove.
Its former pompous demeanor now shrank like a quail in an instant.
The Three Little Brown Bears may not have been worldly, but their blood instinctively detected the impending danger, so they subconsciously moved closer to Aubree.
Soon, a faint firelight reflected off the cave walls, revealing the walls crawling with snakes.
Their tongues darted in and out, and their sinister green eyes twinkled cruelly in the flickering flames, as they eagerly sized up their prey.
Such a sight would scare anyone half to death.
The pitiful Three Brown Bears shook nervously as they moved closer to Aubree for protection.
...
However, the single human in the cave was not panicked.
She watched as a swarm of snakes slithered to her feet, even cutting off her only exit.
It seemed she was about to meet her end in the snake’s nest!
At that moment, a small Silver Snake slithered silently from the backpack.
Even the Mythical Beast gave a start, suddenly jumping off, its eyes filled with fear.
The little Silver Snake climbed onto Aubree’s shoulder, raised its upper body, looking somewhat drowsy, as if it had just woken up.
Then it suddenly opened its mouth, revealing two small sharp teeth, which, far from scaring anyone, looked charming.
As its tongue flickered, it made a hissing sound.
Its eyes haughtily scanned the snake flock, radiating arrogance.
Then something strange happened.
The moment the snake flock heard the sound, they all stopped advancing.
Unison, they lifted their heads, hissing in unison.
The cacophony of hundreds and thousands of hisses was deafening.
Then the snake flock orderly exited, soon disappearing, making one think that the spectacle was merely a hallucination.
The Silver Snake puffed up its head and looked at Aubree as if claiming a merit.
Aubree patted its small head, “I’ll remember this favor.”
The Mythical Beast walked over, warily eyeing the Silver Snake.
It had been in the backpack for so long, it didn’t know that there was a snake hidden inside.
It was too terrifying!
The Silver Snake suddenly looked at the Mythical Beast, squinting its eyes; its treacherous intent blatantly obvious.
Mythical Beast: Oh my…..
——
When dawn broke the next morning, the wind had dwindled and the sky was overcast, drizzling with rain.
When Aubree left, the big brown bear still hadn’t returned.
If the commotion last night was anything to go by, the chances didn’t seem promising.
Looking at the famished Three Little Brown Bears, she couldn’t leave them behind in fear they would starve or be preyed upon.
Reluctantly, Aubree had to take them with her and leave them under the care of the animal protection association until they could fend for themselves before releasing them back into the wild.
Upon returning to Pethkids, Aubree headed straight to the Grooves.
On catching sight of the weary Aubree, Maggie Wood hurriedly welcomed her.
Aubree spent the night in Sanny’s room while Maggie anxiously waited outside.
As the first rays of sunrise shattered the gloomy darkness, the city which had been soggy with rain for days finally saw the sun this morning.
Maggie had a sofa set up by the room’s door where she dozed off for a few hours.
She had a dream where a little girl cried out for her mother.
Her heart ached as she jolted awake, just as Aubree emerged from the room.
Without a second to ponder on the dream, Maggie immediately stood up and approached her.
“How is Sanny?”
Looking at the girl before her, Maggie’s heart gave an involuntary spasm.
Her face was deathly pale, and the normally tranquil eyes were now written with exhaustion.
Yes, she looked tired, as if she had traveled a long, long journey.
Maggie felt both guilt and heartache, deeply regretting her inability to provide any assistance.
The Grooves owed Aubree— it was more than just a life.
She feared she wouldn’t be able to repay this debt in her lifetime.
“Senior, she’ll awake.” Her voice betrayed an unshielded fatigue.
Maggie glanced at the room behind Aubree, then walked up to support her, “Let me help you to your room.”
She had begun to respect things she could not comprehend in the mystic arts after this event.
Aubree shook her head, “I apologize Madam, but I must leave immediately.”
Watching Aubree’s retreating figure, Maggie sighed deeply.
At Pethkids Renmin Hospital, an ambulance quickly pulled up at the emergency area.
A pregnant woman was wheeled out by medical staff, followed by a towering man who swiftly jumped down from the ambulance.
“Natasha…” The man’s cold brows were deeply furrowed, filled with worry.
The woman’s beautiful face contorted in pain, her slender fingers tightly clutching the man’s hand, digging into his palm yet the pain offered no relief.
The pregnant woman was rushed to the delivery room as the man anxiously paced outside.
Natasha had been going for regular prenatal checkups, and the baby was very healthy.
There was still a month left before her due date, a few days ago he had flown to Pethkids for a business discussion.
Not wanting to stay alone in Coral Island, Natasha had accompanied him.
The couple had planned to visit a maternity shop in the mall that day, but as soon as she woke up in the morning, Natasha’s stomach started hurting.
He panicked and immediately called an ambulance.
Hopefully, nothing grave would happen.
The hospital walkway in the early morning was remarkably quiet.
The unnerved man was oblivious to the nearing footsteps.
It wasn’t until a shadow fell beside him that he heard a girl’s gentle and calm voice, “Do not worry, both mother and child will be safe.”
Joshua Drake turned around to see the visitor and was very surprised, “Ms.
Aubree?”
