Yes, in her current condition, even if she had a good meal now, she might not be able to last through the harsh winter. Not to mention she still bore a strong death wish.
“Elvis and I, we have four sons. A pity we didn’t bring them along this time. Do you wish to meet them?” Gu Mengmeng continued to try to persuade her.
The corners of the female’s lips curled up slightly in a small sign of happiness, but she didn’t say a word. Instead, she had a “I can die without any worries now” look.
Gu Mengmeng tugged gently at the female’s hand. She had seen many battles between women and their mother-in-laws, but never imagined that the first time she was meeting her mother-in-law, she had to persuade her not to commit suicide…
Perhaps she was really weak, and had fallen asleep from the strain of talking so much.
Gu Mengmeng tucked the skinned fur over her properly before leaving the cave.
Elvis was impatient with waiting and was stomping around the outside when he finally saw her emerge. His tight-wound brows relaxed and he drew her into his embrace for a fierce hug. Only then did he feel at ease.
“She…” Peter’s eyes were filled with concern as he gazed inwards, even though there was no way he could see the female inside from this angle.
Gu Mengmeng said, “She said many things and is very tired now. She has fallen asleep.”
Peter was taken aback. He stared at Gu Mengmeng with disbelief for a long while before asking her dubiously, “She… she spoke to you?!”
Gu Mengmeng nodded. Peter was nearly in tears from the agitation.
“It’s good that she spoke… she has not uttered a single word in months. No matter what I do, she refuses to say anything to me…”
Gu Mengmeng really didn’t understand. Since Peter loved her so much, why had he done such cruel things to hurt her? What were his motives?
“Lower your voice. She has just nodded off.”
Gu Mengmeng had barely finished her sentence before Peter was already nodding earnestly and pressing his lips tightly together.
Gu Mengmeng circled Elvis’ neck and indicated him to walk further out.
Peter wanted to ask about his female, and so naturally followed.
Gu Mengmeng had Elvis stop after they reached a reasonable distance. She then frowned as she sized up Peter.
“She… what did she say to you?” Peter desperately wanted to know every single word she said. Even if he could only hear it from a third party, it would be a great comfort to him.
Gu Mengmeng pursed her lips and remained silent. She continued staring at Peter.
Wabei said lazily, “I am sleepy and will find someplace to sleep. Wake me when it’s time to eat.”
Ian just shot a dirty look at Gu Mengmeng. He obviously still begrudged her for unleashing her pressure and causing him to fall down. He followed after Wabei without a word.
Lea sighed. Although he was also Mengmeng’s partner, this was obviously an old, domestic issue concerning Elvis’ family. It was not very convenient for him to stay on and listen. As such, he kissed Gu Mengmeng’s little face. “You haven’t eaten lunch yet. I will go prepare something delicious for you. Auntie looks very weak, so I will prepare something easily digestible for her.”
Gu Mengmeng understood everyone’s kind consideration. Hence, she nodded and returned Lea’s kiss. “Thank you.”
Lea swiped Gu Mengmeng’s little nose with a smile. “Silly girl. Why are you thanking me?”
After Lea left, only Gu Mengmeng, Elvis and Peter were left. Only then did Gu Mengmeng finally speak. “You will never wake someone who is pretending to sleep. Similarly, you will never be able to save someone who wishes to die. If you want to save her, tell me the truth.”
