Chapter 826: If Torturing Him Would Make Her Happy, Please Torture Him Then.
Gu Mengmeng looked at Natalie with lowered eyes. She remained silent but just watched her quietly, waiting for her to speak first.
Natalie carefully loosened her grip and bit her bottom lip. With a voice as tiny as an ant’s, she said, “He… is still Elvis’ father.”
Gu Mengmeng chuckled. It was truly a woman’s nature to be so ambivalent.
If she liked him, she liked him. If she couldn’t bear to, she couldn’t bear to. Why the need to find so many reasons?
Nevertheless, she didn’t expose her but just said mildly, “I can spare him for Elvis’ sake, but for my son… Elvis will kill Peter himself. So, it’ll be the wise choice to just hand over the antidote to me.”
Natalie nodded and promised. “I will definitely make him hand over the antidote. I promise!”
Gu Mengmeng didn’t say anything more, and just turned to exit the cave. She turned around after a couple of steps. “Hurry up and eat before the food turns cold.”
“Mmm.” Natalie nodded. She then gradually took up the bowl.
Gu Mengmeng heaved a sigh of relief before shaking her head in exasperation. She then walked out of the cave.
The moment she left the cave, she felt a strange tension in the air.
Elvis and Lea were standing at one side, facing off with Peter. The friction between them was nearly creating sparks in the air, as they looked like they couldn’t wait to tear into each other.
But they retracted their murderous aura the moment they saw Gu Mengmeng and pretended that nothing had happened.
Gu Mengmeng was suspicious but didn’t pursue the matter in front of Peter.
It would be a loss of face for her males if she were to question them in front of others, and Gu Mengmeng would never do something so foolish.
She would always allow Elvis and Lea to maintain their dignity in front of others. No matter how suspicious or upset she was, she would wait until they were home alone before questioning them.
Gu Mengmeng addressed Peter as she walked towards Elvis. “I have delivered food to her and she has eaten. As long as she is willing to eat, her health will improve.”
Peter couldn’t conceal the joy in his face. Today was the happiest day in over the past half a year.
He really felt that Natalie had given up the idea of abandoning him. She wished to live on for him.
Even though she only wanted that antidote, which he was completely unable to procure. He was willing to let her rail against him, to curse and threaten him. Seeing her quiver with rage as she flung things at him—that pathetic scene actually brought a sense of sweetness to his heart.
As long as she was willing to live on and remain by his side.
If torturing him would make her happy, please torture him then.
What did a bit of scolding and beating matter?
As long as she didn’t abandon him… that was enough…
Gu Mengmeng hesitated before pausing and looking at Peter. “She rejected me when I told her that I can bring her back to Saint Nazaire.”
Stunned, Peter turned to look at Gu Mengmeng. He appeared to be at a loss.
Gu Mengmeng continued. “I even told her that if she was afraid that you would bother her, I can kill you now. But she stopped me.”
She…
Didn’t wish for him to die?
This news gave a violent jolt to Peter’s heart. It was as if someone had viciously hammered his chest.
She should be full of hatred for him. She had wished for him to die right from the beginning, just that she never had someone powerful enough who could do that for her in the past…
