Chapter 178 At stake
Loebak was a little puzzled, but he was worried about Wendy being alone by the creek, so he didn't pay much attention.

Moreover, the Tiger Clan Chief is no longer alive, and Tiger Fang can no longer return to the Tiger Clan tribe.

A young animal living alone in the forest faces constant danger from wild beasts, making survival extremely difficult.

Lobak carried the animal skin toward the stream. As soon as he reached the stream, he saw a small figure bobbing up and down in the water.

Upon seeing the golden hair, Lobak's expression immediately changed.

He hurriedly threw away the animal hide in his hand and jumped into the stream without even taking off his shoes.

Because he had been repeatedly thrown into the water and teased by Huya and others, he eventually learned to swim.

Swimming used to be about survival; now it's about Wendy.

No matter how many years have passed, Loebak is grateful that he had learned to swim by then, and also grateful for the tiger tooth that had hurt him.

Otherwise, your partner won't stand by your side.

Loebak struggled to lift Wendy up. He patted Wendy's little face and saw that her eyes were closed, her lips were purple, and her breathing was weak. He panicked for a moment.

Just then, a male passed by and quickly called out, "Uncle, please help me find Chief Ophelia! Wendy is in trouble!"

Upon hearing that Wendy was in trouble, the male quickly headed towards the shops along the tribal wall.

After everyone left, Loebak held Wendy on his lap and squeezed her abdomen tightly with his arms, forcing her to vomit the water.

"Cough cough."

He vomited up the water, but he still didn't wake up.

Lobak was sweating profusely with anxiety.

Just then, Ophelia and Klein finally arrived.

Seeing her daughter's weak breath, Ophelia's legs went weak and her eyes immediately reddened.

Seeing this, Klein quickly grabbed her arm, his voice clear and bright. "Ophelia, don't panic, Wendy is waiting for you to save her."

Klein could tell at a glance that Wendy was drowning.

Moreover, so much time has passed, it's probably very difficult to save him.

However, in order to prevent Ophelia from collapsing now, he had no choice but to use reverse psychology.

Upon hearing this, Ophelia calmed herself down and quickly walked towards the stream.

"Chief Ophelia, the princess has fallen into the water, and no matter how much I call her, she won't wash herself." Lobak's voice was hoarse, full of self-blame.

"I'm sorry, Chief Ophelia, it's all my fault. I failed to protect the princess."

Ophelia wasn't in the mood to answer; she knelt down and began examining Wendy's nose and mouth.

She touched Wendy's pulse again; it was beating very weakly.

In this critical situation, Ophelia quickly used the Heimlich maneuver, lifting Wendy up and supporting her abdomen while pressing down hard.

The remaining water in the abdomen was forced out.

Ophelia looked at her daughter's purplish lips, which were clearly a symptom of oxygen deficiency.

She shakily pinched Wendy's nostrils with two fingers and began to give her mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

When her condition did not improve after being allowed to breathe, he began performing chest compressions on Wendy.

Wendy finally opened her eyes after a difficult three minutes.

She opened her eyes and immediately threw herself into Ophelia's arms, beginning to sob softly. "Waaah, Mother, I'm so scared."

"Baby, don't be afraid, Mommy's here." Ophelia held Wendy in her arms and soothed her gently.

Klein breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ophelia had really saved Wendy.

He had never seen such a method of rescue as kissing before.

If it could be widely circulated, it would save countless lives.

Ophelia coaxed Wendy for a while before taking her back to the stone house, with Loebak following behind with his head down. Ophelia settled Wendy in her bedroom and then went to prepare ginger soup to warm her up.

To her surprise, she had just stood up when she saw Loebak kneeling at the door. "What are you doing?"

"Chief Ophelia, please blame me. It's all my fault for not taking good care of the princess, which led to her drowning."

"I'll accept whatever punishment you want," Lobak said, showing remorse.

Seeing this, Ophelia gave the ginger soup to Klein so he could make ginger soup.

She stayed behind to talk to Loebak. "You're the one who took Wendy to the creek."

Lobach hesitated.

"If you want to admit your mistake, you need to tell me the truth. I'll ask you one more time: was it you who wanted to take him there?"

Loebak shook his head.

"Did you push him into the water?"

Lobak's expression was serious. "I just saw Tiger Fang by the creek."

"How come Tiger Fang is in the Fu tribe?" Ophelia frowned.

If Huya really did this, then it's clear that Huya considers them the enemies who killed his parents.

She shouldn't have been so soft-hearted as to spare Huya's life.

"Since it wasn't you, why should I blame you?"

"It's my fault for not taking good care of the princess. If I had stayed by her side, she wouldn't have been in danger."

Seeing Loebak so remorseful, Ophelia reached out and patted his little head.

“You’re right, but if Wendy hadn’t insisted on making you take her to the creek, this wouldn’t have happened.”

"So, your punishment is to take good care of Wendy from now on."

Although Ophelia felt sorry for Wendy, she also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Loebak, and that Wendy had suffered an undeserved misfortune on their behalf.

Soon after, Taylor, who had gone out hunting, returned. Ophelia told her about how Tiger Fang had infiltrated the Fu tribe and pushed Wendy into the water.

Taylor was surprised and even more frightened by Ophelia's words. "Princess, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been so soft-hearted and begged you to spare his life, Wendy wouldn't be in this situation today..."

Seeing these people, each one of them trying to take the blame upon themselves, Ophelia was somewhat speechless.

She raised her hand to stop Taylor from saying anything more. "Even if you hadn't spoken, I would have spared his life. I originally intended to give him a chance, but I didn't expect him to learn how to retaliate at such a young age."

"Taylor, send men to search the Fu tribe thoroughly. If you find any trace of Tiger Fang, arrest him immediately."

Taylor's expression turned serious. "Okay, I understand. I definitely won't hold back this time."

Taylor and his men searched for a long time, thoroughly scouring the Fu tribe, but found no trace of Tiger Tooth.

Therefore, Taylor had to take turns guarding the gate with the males to prevent Tiger Tooth from sneaking in again.

He's so young yet so cruel. This time he only pushed Wendy into the water, but next time he might poison the tribe's drinking water.

Knowing the serious consequences, the patrolling males became even more serious.

Sure enough, they discovered a dog hole next to the Fu tribe's settlement.

It's more accurate to say that it was a hole deliberately created by someone, rather than a dog hole.

“Taylor must have come in from here and escaped from here as well,” Ram said calmly, looking at the soil next to the cave entrance.

The soil was still fresh, and following the footprints, you could see it stretching all the way to the stream.

"Take some men and seal this hole, then check if the other walls have been damaged."

Taylor returned to the stone house and told Ophelia about it.

Ophelia looked unwell, but the most important thing right now was Wendy's health.

Wendy fell into the water at such a young age, and she was afraid she would get a fever at night, so she prepared fever-reducing medicine early in the morning and kept it warm in the pot so that she could give it to Wendy at any time.
