Clumsy Beast, Keep Your Paws Off novel Chapter 551

Chapter 551: Chapter 551: A Mate’s Despair

Inside the house, the atmosphere was heavy and tense, but outside, the air felt even more suffocating.

Han Jue stood quietly near the entrance, his tall figure firm and steady like a pillar. He did not step inside. This was not his place.

Instead, his gaze fell on the two males standing outside, especially the younger one who was pacing back and forth like a trapped beast.

The young man’s name was Guo Ren. His face was pale, his eyes bloodshot, and his steps were uneven, as if he could collapse at any moment. He kept clenching and unclenching his fists, his breathing rough and unstable.

Han Jue watched him for a moment before speaking in a calm, low voice.

"You don’t have to worry so much. My female is very capable."

Guo Ren stopped mid step and turned to look at him. His eyes were filled with panic and doubt.

Han Jue continued, his tone steady and firm.

"She is a witch doctor. She has helped many females give birth safely. In our tribe, most of the cubs were delivered with her help. You can trust her."

He paused for a moment, then added,

"And she is pregnant herself. She would never harm another female or her cub. So calm down."

His words were simple, but they carried a certain weight.

Guo Ren stared at him, his lips trembling slightly. For a second, it looked like he wanted to believe him, but the fear in his heart was too strong.

"It’s not that I don’t trust her..." he said hoarsely.

His voice cracked midway, and his eyes turned red.

"I just... I just feel like... what if it’s too late?"

His body shook slightly as his emotions finally broke through.

"What if she can’t save her? What if my mate dies?"

His voice rose uncontrollably, filled with despair.

"What will I do then?!"

He suddenly covered his face with his hands as tears streamed down.

"How will I face her parents...? How will I explain it to them...?"

His shoulders trembled violently as he sobbed.

"They trusted me... they gave her to me... they told me to take care of her... to protect her..."

His voice became choked and broken.

"But what did I do? I couldn’t do anything! I just stood there and watched her suffer... I’m useless... I’m completely useless..."

Han Jue fell silent.

He was not someone who was good with words. Seeing a grown man break down like this left him momentarily at a loss.

Beside them, the older man, Guo Liang, sighed deeply. His expression was also tense, but he was trying his best to stay composed.

He stepped forward and placed a hand on Guo Ren’s shoulder.

"Ren’er... calm down."

But Guo Ren shook his head violently.

"I can’t calm down! Brother, she has been in pain for so long... she hasn’t eaten... she hasn’t slept... and now even her voice is getting weaker..."

His voice dropped into a whisper, filled with fear.
