“What nonsense are you saying?” Gu Mengmeng caressed Sandy’s head. “Don’t think too much. I am good as long as you are well.”
She glanced at the injured Collin, as well as Bode, who was just outside busily prepping some food. Gu Mengmeng sighed. “I feel assured now that I see you are fine. I will head back first. You and Collin rest well. When you have recovered, we will go back to Saint Nazaire together.”
Sandy nodded and hugged Gu Mengmeng again. She didn’t get off the bed but just stared after the departing profiles of Gu Mengmeng and Lea.
Cole followed behind Gu Mengmeng the whole way. He knew Gu Mengmeng didn’t wish to acknowledge his presence and didn’t want to see him, but he continued tagging along. Just by heading for the same destination as her made him feel happy.
They returned to the stone castle only to see Elvis keeping Chixuan firmly on the ground with one foot.
Gu Mengmeng frowned…
Why did they have to witness domestic abuse the moment they returned home.
“Elvis,” Gu Mengmeng shouted at him.
Elvis frowned. He felt that no amount of explanation could save him now.
As long as it concerned those four little ones, Gu Mengmeng would always side with them no matter who was in the wrong.
Now that she had personally seen him stepping on Chixuan, even the heavens could not save him from Gu Mengmeng’s blame.
Being wronged…
He didn’t have the right to feel that way.
After all, he was really beating up that Chixuan.
But he couldn’t bear to make Gu Mengmeng angry.
Hence, Elvis cast aside his principles and loosened his hold on Chixuan. He walked towards Gu Mengmeng to confess his sins. “Xiao Meng, don’t be angry. I was wrong.”
Cole was somewhat shocked.
He knew even better than Lea just what kind of person Elvis was.
After all…
He had watched him grow up.
Actually, he had once wanted to groom Elvis to take over Peter as the ruler of the stray beasts.
A pity that fellow didn’t understand courtship. They had thrown so many females before him, and he had just treated them as food and ate them all up…
A young punk who could not go beyond the third-level would never be able to take on such a high position. But just based on his viciousness, Cole still intended to groom him.
But Elvis had actually escaped after that, nullifying all of Cole’s careful cultivation.
And now, that Elvis who had leaped out of that pit drenched in blood and devoured his own brother without any hesitation—that Elvis was now… as docile as a dog. Immediately wagging his tail and pleading for forgiveness the moment his mistress called his name?
Ha, his Ah Gu was truly capable.
She not only tamed that unruly Ninth Highness, but had even trained that bloodthirsty Elvis until he was now good and obedient.
But Gu Mengmeng was completely unconcerned with what Cole was thinking. She just jumped down from Lea’s arms and pushed Elvis aside. She stood beside Chixuan, who was covered in bruises. Her heart ached tremendously.
Chixuan had wanted to counterattack the moment he was free of Elvis’ foot. But on seeing Gu Mengmeng and Cole, he suppressed his rage and stood compliantly in his place with a lowered head. He looked at Gu Mengmeng. “Mother, I am sorry for making you worry.”
Gu Mengmeng’s maternal heart ached badly. She knew that many of the wounds all over Chixuan’s body was self-inflicted so that he could accomplish Cole’s mission. She didn’t know why her son was so obedient to Cole. Sighing in frustration, she just held his little face and said, “Let Daddy Lea apply some medicine for you. Don’t get any infections.”
