Chapter 871 I’ll Rescue One Myself!


    Charlotte paused for a moment, instinctively looking at Joe.


    Joe immediately crouched down and patiently exined to Ben and Anna, “Baby


    penguins need to live here, with their parents, to survive. If we take it away


    hastily, it won’t be helping it at all; in fact, it might harm it.”


    Joe’s tone was serious, and Ben and Anna involuntarily suppressed theirst


    thoughts of taking the penguin with them.


    Having dissuaded Ben and Anna from their impulse to keep the penguin, Joe


    finally breathed a sigh of relief.


    Seeing them somewhat downcast, Joe made a promise to them, saying,


    “Although we can’t take it home, you can take care of it until we find its family or


    bring it to a rescue station, alright?”


    The eyes of the two children, which had dimmed, immediately lit up again.


    They nodded enthusiastically, “Of course! No problem!”

    Anna tightened her down jacket around the penguin, afraid it might get cold.


    Looking at the penguin’s round head, Charlotte couldn’t resist and reached out to


    pat its little head.


    “Be careful; it might bite you,” Joe reminded her from the side.


    Seemingly understanding that Charlotte meant no harm, the baby penguin just


    tilted its head and let out a couple of calls, then allowed her to pet it.


    Feeling the unusual texture of the little creature, Charlotte couldn’t help but sigh,


    “If it weren’t for the constraints of reality, I’d want to take one home, too.”


    Joe looked at Charlotte, full of anticipation, and chuckled helplessly.


    They quickly found the expedition leader with the baby penguin. The leader was


    surprised to see such a small penguin and suggested contacting a nearby


    research station.


    “This little guy is lucky to have run into you; otherwise, it might not have survived


    the night,” the leader sighed after inspecting the baby penguin.


    In a ce like Antarctica, without the protection of its parents, it wouldn’t have


    stood a chance.


    Before leaving, the leader told Ben and Anna that it was fate that brought them


    together with the penguin, and they could take care of it for a while longer.


    Ben and Anna immediately cheered with joy.


    Their cheers caught the attention of Samuel, who was not far away. His eyes


    widened when he saw the penguin in Anna’s arms.


    “What’s this?”


    Samuel couldn’t believe his eyes as he stared again and again, “How did you


    guys get a penguin? You caught a penguin!”


    “We didn’t catch it!” Anna retorted defiantly, “We rescued it! The expedition leader


    said that this penguin would have starved to death without us!”


    Samuel’s envy was almost overflowing from his eyes. He leaned closer to Anna,


    “Can I hold it?”


    “No!” Anna turned away, “You threw a cake at me before. I don’t want to let you


    hold it.”


    Perhaps realizing he was in the wrong, Samuel didn’t dare to insist and just


    grumbled, “I don’t care! I’ll rescue one myself!”


    After saying that, he left in a huff.


    Noah and Harper, feeling embarrassed about their son’s behavior, apologized to


    Charlotte and Joe before quickly following Samuel.


    Ben and Anna paid no attention to him and focused on the baby penguin.


    Charlotte and Joe didn’t think much of the incident either. However, an hourter,


    Harper came running towards them, looking panicked.
