Chapter 832: You Can Cure Me, You Can Take My Life.
Sauder only had Barete and Oakley guarding it. The two of them were no match for Cole, not to mention he was bringing along a gang of stray beasts fourth-level and above.
If Cole used Chixuan as blackmail…
Barete and Oakley would probably have no choice but to let him do whatever he wanted.
Gu Mengmeng gritted her teeth and stood up to head outside.
As she passed by Elvis, he pulled her into his embrace.
Gu Mengmeng struggled a moment but Elvis just held her tighter. He said in a hoarse voice, “Don’t move, let me hold you awhile, just awhile.”
Gu Mengmeng was drawn in by Elvis’ words. She had just slept for an afternoon but she felt as if she had been apart from them for a long time.
Elvis’ deep voice reverberated from his chest into Gu Mengmeng’s ear. “You are clearly standing right before me, but I still miss you so much… what can I do? I think I am sick.”
Gu Mengmeng’s heart was melting, but she refused to show any tenderness. She just said coldly, “Get Lea to treat you if you are sick.”
Elvis hooked Gu Mengmeng’s little face and stared into her eyes. “He can heal external wounds, but heartsick..no medicine can cure that.”
Gu Mengmeng turned her head and pulled back her face. “If you have heartsick, find a bosom friend to treat it. I think Lea is very suitable. You two are so close and have no secrets between you. Have a good heart-to-heart chat. Treat it as undergoing therapy. You will probably recover after that.”
Elvis lifted Gu Mengmeng and she instinctively circled her arms around his neck. She met his amused eyes and wanted to draw back her hands, but would Elvis ever allow that? He gently cupped the back of her head and kissed her on the lips.
They were thus entangled for a long while in an intense session of tender, loving care.
‘But you are my only medicine. You can cure me, you can take my life.”
Gu Mengmeng felt a tug on her heartstrings. She trembled until her entire chest was vibrating.
Earlier, Elvis had stood at the cave and reflected on himself for an entire afternoon. He had replayed Gu Mengmeng’s stinging words, and if he still didn’t understand why Gu Mengmeng was so angry at them, then he had no right to be her first partner anymore.
Gently wiping Gu Mengmeng’s lips, which looked bee-stung from his intense kiss, Elvis said tenderly, “You are angry that whenever I encounter something bad, I would always keep it from you. I won’t hide things from you in the future. Don’t be angry, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng twisted her lips as her expression softened. But she still put on a dubious look as she asked, “Really? Or are you just humoring me?”
“Every word I say is my promise to you. And I will never lie to you.” Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s little face, which was still soft and tender from sleep. “Moreover, I had wanted to keep such matters a secret from you, as I was afraid they would upset you. If you are more upset over not knowing, then wouldn’t that be worse? I will never do something like that again.”
Gu Mengmeng finally nodded with satisfaction. She then cast a cool glance at Lea, who was standing by the side.
Lea wagged his tail as he walked over to Gu Mengmeng in a timid manner. He rested his arms on Elvis’ shoulder and used his slanted eyes to convey the deep emotions of a lover who knew he was in the wrong.
Stroking Gu Mengmeng’s left ear as he cupped her face tenderly in one palm. “I endured so many painful obstacles to finally get your acknowledgment. I am really scared that you would abandon me. Today’s episode really had me utterly petrified. Would I still dare to keep things from you? Do you think I won’t be scared that you would ask me to leave and never come home?”
