Lea did not kill Cole, but brought him to Sauder’s dungeon instead.
Gu Mengmeng did not know how Lea could force Cole to say the whereabouts of the little wolves, but it would not be anything happy and harmonious.
Gu Mengmeng stayed to look after Elvis and Chixuan. Placing the dad and son on the bed, she used a basin of clear water and washed Elvis’s wounds. She said while cleaning, “Are you an idiot? Your cuts are so deep and yet you still rushed in to the chilli powders, how painful would that be.”
But Elvis smiled, he held onto Gu Mengmeng’s small hand lightly and said, “The pain is nothing as long as you are well.”
Seeing Elvis unwilling to let go of her hand, Gu Mengmeng had to sit on the bedside. She avoided Elvis’s wounds carefully and asked, “What actually happened after I left? Why would Dylan help Lea pass the message?”
“Not long after you have left, the beast pressure disappeared. Everyone had different beast pressure, so Lea could easily guess that it was Cole’s trick. He wanted to stop you but it was too late. Ian was… fooled by his smartness.” Elvis pulled over Gu Mengmeng’s hand and kissed it, before continuing, “Luckily, Lea had everything planned out to take revenge on Sauder and we did not panic. All the plans for revenge had slight changes and we turned it into a new plan for rescuing you.”
Gu Mengmeng lowered her head and said, “I’m sorry, I panicked once I saw our sons being kidnapped and I acted rashly without a second thought… I have dragged you down.”
Lea shook his head and said, “Idiot, it’s my honor to fight for you.”
Gu Mengmeng crawled into Lea’s arms softly, avoiding his wounds carefully and said, “But you are injured so heavily.”
Elvis turned around slightly and focused on Gu Mengmeng’s face, he said affectionately, “These are nothing. I am a fifth-level orc now and I will recover in no time. Look, it doesn’t hurt now.”
Gu Mengmeng’s eyes were red and she said, “How could it not hurt with these many injuries.”
Elvis wiped away Gu Mengmeng’s tears lightly and said, “Nowhere hurts if I can see you.”
Gu Mengmeng buried her face into Elvis’s hand and said, “I’m sorry to make you worry.”
Elvis heaved a long sigh, kissed on Gu Mengmeng’s teary face and said, “You have my mating mark on you, I will know if you are in danger. I did not sense danger this time, which meant that you are safe, but even so, I was so anxious. You, please don’t run off in the future. No matter what you do, let me accompany you, understand?”
Gu Mengmeng nodded and said, “I promise I will not run off in the future and I will never make you land in this kind of situation for me.”
Elvis smiled. These few days of sleepless battles had tired him out totally, it was the thought of seeing Gu Mengmeng again that had supported him till now. Now that Gu Mengmeng was lying in his arms, he could not resist the sleepiness and closed his eyes slowly, falling into a deep sleep.
Lea was already back by the time Elvis woke up.
Exhausted, Lea only hugged Gu Mengmeng and said, “Thank you.”
“Huh?” Gu Mengmeng was confused, she was the one that got into trouble because she did not think carefully, why was Lea thanking her?
“Thank you for protecting our female before we arrive, for not letting yourself injured, for not letting Cole bully you. That was truly something incredible, so thank you.”
