Chapter 975: It Is My Fault for Failing To Protect You.

Gu Mengmeng slowly regained consciousness and opened her mouth to speak, but found that her throat was extremely sore and dry.

Elvis immediately fed her a cup of water.

The water was very sweet and clear, different from what she was used to.

There were no pollutants in the Beast World. One could drink directly from the streams and rivers, whose waters held a natural sweetness. But this cup of water was different. After drinking it, Gu Mengmeng could feel the sweetness seep through her veins until every part of her dehydrated body was lubricated and nourished.

It was a wondrous feeling, as if she had been utterly cleansed from inside out. She felt completely purified.

“Is everyone alright?” Gu Mengmeng could finally speak.

Elvis nodded. He carried Gu Mengmeng princess-style and buried his nose into her hair. Only then did his trepidation fade away. His voice was raspy and traced with fatigue, but still full of warmth. “Only you fell unconscious for three days two and nights. The rest of us are fine.”

Gu Mengmeng nodded at this, feeling much more at ease now.

Turning her head, Gu Mengmeng leaned against Elvis’ chest and reached out one hand to caress Lea’s face. She felt exhausted but forced a smile.

“It is great that you are fine.” Gu Mengmeng sounded weak. “I saw that you were drenched in blood right before I fainted. I was really scared.”

Lea held Gu Mengmeng’s hand and gave it a deep kiss. “I am sorry. I am too weak and let you worry over me.”

Gu Mengmeng shook her head with a smile. “It’s not that you are weak. It was I who brought you all to such a dangerous place. It’s my fault for letting you follow me into danger without any precautions.”

“Silly girl.” Lea’s lips still lingered over her soft hand. He had been holding her hand in this manner for the past three days, constantly dreading that it would turn cold and never be lifted up again. Now, her little hand was still warm and she could still talk to him. The panic he had been suppressing over the past three days started leaking out, as he got increasingly scared the more he thought about it. “Partners exists solely to protect you in whatever you choose to do. It is my fault for failing to protect you.”

Gu Mengmeng didn’t argue with Lea over the Beast World’s view on love. After all, in the Beast World, they had an obsessive “love could only be proved by action” type of viewpoint. It was very difficult for Gu Mengmeng to convince them not to debase themselves for the sake of love.

Elvis steadied Gu Mengmeng in an upright sitting position before going to sit facing her.

His clear blue eyes fixed upon Gu Mengmeng with an extremely grave expression.

Gu Mengmeng had never seen Elvis look at her so sternly before. She felt a s.h.i.+ver of panic and instinctively gave a soothing smile. “Hubby, what’s the matter?”

Elvis didn’t speak but just continued gazing at Gu Mengmeng. His lips were pressed into one straight line. It felt as if a storm was about to burst.

Gu Mengmeng could feel that Elvis was angry this time, but she didn’t know why. Hence, she turned towards Lea with pleading eyes. However, Lea lowered his gaze and went over to sit beside Elvis.

It was the first time Elvis and Lea were both sitting and facing her. It made Gu Mengmeng feel very uneasy. She didn’t know what they were going to say, but she felt very alarmed.
