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 shiver 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 .
