Chapter 1352: So Painful That I Don’t Want To Live Anymore, But Am Unable To Die.
He had broken his own speed record.
The sky was his dominion and for a fall from this height, there was more than enough time for him to catch her. In fact, he could have let her fall for a bit longer to teach her lesson. But without even giving himself time to consider this, he had immediately dashed out. He had even started to doubt his abilities, deeply fearful that his grip on Elvis was not secure enough and that he might drop Elvis and Gu Mengmeng…
The wound on Elvis’ back was the best evidence of his doubts and fear then.
He didn’t know how his level of anxiety compared to Elvis’ and Lea’s, he just knew that he did not dare to leave the cave entrance at all as he was afraid she might jump again.
He said he would only rescue one partner if she jumped again, and then not rescue the remaining one if she jumped a third time.
But he didn’t dare to say that he would not even save her if she jumped a fourth time.
Even if it was just an empty threat to scare her, he was unable to say it.
However…
She had been placating her two partners with soft words and sweet nothings, while not even sparing a glance at the one who had saved her life.
She had jumped off the cliff to force him to send her back to Sauder. She honestly stated that she dared to jump because she knew he liked her, and would rescue her.
Should he be comforted by the thought that she placed so much trust in him?
Ha, but apart from trust, she gave him nothing else.
And this trust, she was only using it to force him to send her back.
Did he still not understand? Not understand at all?
There is no place for you at all in her heart.
The pride and dignity of a vulture had already been shattered by her chilly gaze at the borders of Sauder.
Actually, it was a simple matter for him to send her back. The moment she accepted him, he would not force her to stay inside this cave anymore.
But she would rather die than keep him by her side as his partner.
Mmm, Gregory thought he could now understand why stray beasts feared her so much. When she decided to be heartless, she could be far more cruel than stray beasts themselves.
It wasn’t that Gu Mengmeng was oblivious to Gregory’s searing stare. Making use of someone’s feelings was not something she was willing to do. But for Chixuan’s sake, she had no other choice.
She owed Gregory, and would owe him forever.
Gu Mengmeng sighed softly before leaning into Lea’s embrace. She lowered her head and asked, “Are you still in pain…”
Lea was more seriously injured than Elvis. To put it in another way, their recovery speeds were different due to the disparity in their levels.
The messy wound on Elvis’ back was nearly healed while Lea was still bleeding.
Lea lifted up Gu Mengmeng’s hand and placed it over his heart. He then answered solemnly, “Pain. So painful that I don’t want to live anymore, but am unable to die.”
Gu Mengmeng gave a gentle kiss on the spot over Lea’s heart. “I will never let you suffer this pain again in future.”
“Alright.” Lea hugged Gu Mengmeng and sighed before continuing. “Be a good girl and rest here for another 20 days. I will bring you back to Sauder 20 days later, alright?”
Gu Mengmeng looked up at Lea. “You have a solution?”
Lea chuckled. “You already said I am the most intelligent person in the Beast World. I can’t possibly let you down. In order for you to have enough reason to trust me, such that anytime you meet with problems, your first thought would be to let me resolve it and not act recklessly—I must find a way, right?”
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head and didn’t say anything else.
Lea handed Gu Mengmeng over to Elvis before walking over to Gregory. He patted him on the shoulder. “Shall we head out for a chat?”
