Sandy was still unconscious. Bode sat beside her, anxiously holding onto her little hand. He was completely still, his entire focus on her.
Lea unceremoniously kicked Bode to the side.
Bode looked at Lea but dared not utter a single sound.
One, Lea was a witch doctor. It was to their benefit that he was willing to see to Sandy’s condition.
Second…
He cast a quick glance at Gu Mengmeng, whom Lea had placed beside Sandy.
She was the Messenger of the Beast Deity and the daughter of the Beast Deity. She was the embodiment of all that was high and holy. Having her by Sandy’s side might bring her some good luck. Moreover, the Beast Deity might take into account the fact that Sandy and Gu Mengmeng were good friends, and bestow some blessings on Sandy?
The most important point was that Gu Mengmeng seemed to mean even more to Sandy than her own partners.
She would definitely hope for Gu Mengmeng to be the first person she sees when she regains consciousness.
So Bode kept silent. He got up and left to find some food to cook, in case Sandy was hungry when she wakes up.
Gu Mengmeng didn’t have time to bother about Bode. She held Sandy’s little hand and stroked the tiny wisps of hair on her temples. She said in a soft voice, “Sandy, good girl. Don’t let me worry. Quickly wake up, alright? You still have a baby in your tummy. It won’t be good for the baby if you sleep for too long. Didn’t we agree for me to be the child’s godmother the moment it is born.”
“You don’t know that my four wolf pups have all grown up and are not as close to me anymore… how I miss the days when they still snuggled beside me. I plan to use the baby in your tummy to satisfy this longing in me. So, quickly wake up, alright? Give birth to a plump, furry little baby for me to play with?”
“Ooo…” Sandy appeared to have heard Gu Mengmeng’s words. She wrinkled her brows slightly, before opening her eyes and smiling faintly. She looked at Gu Mengmeng and murmured, “Alright.”
Gu Mengmeng couldn’t help smiling. She teased Sandy as she helped her sit up. “So you agree? Your maternal instincts are too great.”
Sandy also smiled. Gu Mengmeng liked her child. This was a good thing, why would she not agree?
Her head ached but Sandy didn’t mention it. She just propped herself up and took in everyone in the room.
When her gaze landed on Cole, Sandy shivered all over. She instinctively clutched Gu Mengmeng’s hand as she stared guardedly at Cole. “Why are you here? What do you want?! Hede… where are Hede and the rest? What have done to the wolf pups?! Give me back the wolf pups, give them back to me!”
Gu Mengmeng gently hugged Sandy and patted her back. “Sandy, don’t be afraid, I am here.”
Sandy’s body stiffened as she let Gu Mengmeng hold her. Her mind was in chaos as it continued to ache.
Her memories finally sorted themselves out after a long while. How Cole managed to threaten her to leave with him alone. How she ended up believing Cole and Gu Mengmeng were partners, and even helped him try to get closer to Gu Mengmeng. All those incidents resurfaced in her mind.
Frowning, Sandy clenched her fists tightly. She mumbled into Gu Mengmeng’s shoulder. “Gu Mengmeng, have I brought trouble to you once again… I am such a useless friend, always a burden to you…”
