In the end Gu Mengmeng didn’t try to explain further. If she was Elvis’ only sense of security, as selfish as it might be, Gu Mengmeng was more than willing to enjoy this special privilege.

  She wished to preserve and cherish this feeling. She felt that being the special one in Elvis’ eyes was something which brought her joy.

  Hugging and kissing Elvis, Gu Mengmeng promised. “Never again. No one is allowed to touch my hubby again.”


  Gu Mengmeng’s coquettish words turned Elvis’ heart to mush.

  By the time he carried Gu Mengmeng back to Natalie’s cave, it was already noon.

  Lea had been cooking a big pot of meat, which had been stewing until it was extremely tender now. Although it was meat, it was not at all greasy and very suitable for the weak Natalie.

  Gu Mengmeng was just about to bring a bowl of the meat to Natalie, when she saw Peter exiting the cave with a foolish smile on his face. His gaze was bizarrely gentle, and that pose where he was holding his cheek…… um…… indescribable.

  Peter nearly collided into Gu Mengmeng before he suddenly halted and stared at her, startled. He then awkwardly cleared his throat and turned to the side. Only then did Gu Mengmeng see the red palm mark on the side of his cheek.

  Did this mean he had been slapped? Why was he still smiling…… so amorously?

  Could it be Peter was different from the rest, that his sensitive spot was on his face? Being slapped felt good to him?

  Although it was rather inappropriate to make such conjectures about her own father-in-law, Gu Mengmeng really couldn’t understand Peter’s expression.

  Are you going to behave awkwardly or continue smiling so amorously? Can you not do both at the same time? It looks very bizarre and creepy……

  Opening his mouth, Peter looked like he wanted to say something to Gu Mengmeng, but hesitated for a while before falling silent. He just skirted around her and left.

  Gu Mengmeng glanced at Elvis at which he returned her gaze with a “he’s crazy” look. They didn’t say a word but just shrugged and headed towards the cave.

  After entering, they saw that Natalie had already sat up, and looked very angry…… yeah…… totally furious.

  Her originally pale faced was now flushed with rage, while her chest heaved heavily. It was obvious that she had just been in an argument, or rather…… she had just finished berating someone.

  Her eyes still bore the fumes of anger, as she held the skinned furs in a death grip, as if it was a certain someone whom she wished to tear to pieces.

  She looked up and was startled to see that it was Gu Mengmeng who had come. She instinctively looked towards Elvis, after which her eyes dimmed and she lowered her head. Just that one look was full of guilt.

  Gu Mengmeng brought the food to Natalie’s side. “This is food made by my other partner. It is very delicious, do you want to try?”


  Natalie didn’t accept the food, but just pursed her lips and continued to grip the skinned furs with trembling hands. After staying silent for a long while, she finally spoke. “I will definitely get the antidote for you. No matter what…… I will never let him harm you all again…… I……I…… can definitely do it.”


  She was obviously frightened, but still made a resolute promise.

  Gu Mengmeng’s heart warmed. She now knew that Elvis was not all alone before he met her. Although Natalie was unable to stay by his side, she had never stopped loving him.

  Gu Mengmeng placed her hand gently over Natalie’s and said in a soft voice, “Thank you, Natalie.”
