Chapter 1216 - I Can’t Do Without You, You Have To Stay With Me
Gu Mengmeng’s hands were holding onto a red spider lily. Elvis wrapped his hands around her little fists that were shivering out of anxiety and slowly pressed into his chest.
Blood started to flow out uncontrollably. Despite her eyes welling up with tears, Gu Mengmeng did not dare cry. If her tears blurred her vision and her anxious heart gave in to the immense pressure, it would be dangerous to Elvis.
Thump thump…… thump thump……
The heartbeat that was synchronised due to the pain was transmitted to Gu Mengmeng’s fingertips with Elvis’ body warmth.
Gu Mengmeng opened her eyes wide and clenched her teeth tight as the red spider lily was slowly placed into Elvis’ heart. The first contact that her fingertip had made her heart squeeze tight and every tinge of body warmth from the skin burnt her heart.
Just like sand slipping off her fingertip, the flower slowly integrated as one with Elvis’ heart.
“Xiao Meng, don’t cry…… I can’t lift my hand now…… to hug you……” Elvis forced a smile on himself to prevent himself from losing consciousness.
He knew that Gu Mengmeng was scared but he had no strength. The pain had sucked out every bit of energy left in him. He wanted to comfort her but he could only make out these broken phrases.
The red spider lily had finally become one with Elvis’ heart. Gu Mengmeng carefully withdrew her hand from his chest. Each time she slowly withdrew her hand, a large amount of blood flowed out, making Gu Mengmeng uneasy and panic.
Elvis’ reassurance made her even more unable to stop her tears. With her crying voice, she was almost begging him as she said, “hubby, you promise me that you will be fine. You definitely cannot ;lie to me…… I cannot do without you, you have to stay with me…… You said that you will help me support the sky even if it falls, if you leave me behind…… what should i do if i become squashed flat……”
Seeing her cry like a child, and continuing to wipe her tears while using a clean beast skin to apply pressure on his wound, Elvis used all his energy to smile.
He was almost unconscious and could not say anything.
He could only smile and tell this foolish lad, “it’s alright, don’t be scared, I’m still here……”
Lea separated the medicinal herbs that were already prepared beforehand into the appropriate amount outside the cave, then carried the boiling water back to the cave. He carried Gu Mengmeng off Elvis’ body and held her by her shoulders so that he could look into her eyes and say, “Mengmeng, tell me that you are fine, otherwise I will let Elvis continue bleeding and comfort you first.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head and wiped away her tears to say, “I am fine, I am all well, I am really…… sob sobs…… stop fooling around. Quickly have a look at Elvis, will he die after having such a big hole in his heart……”
Seeing that Gu Mengmeng could still joke, Lea felt more reassured.
“Fine, I will go see him. Take care of yourself, don’t make me distracted by worrying about you, alright?”
“Yes.” Gu Mengmeng nodded her head like a garlic pounder.
Lea washed his hands, then used fish bone needle to sew up Elvis’ heart. This was a skill that he had learnt from Gu Mengmeng. The male beasts in the tribe were often injured so after many practice, he had become skilled at it.
After using a clean beast skin to wipe away the blood stain on the wound, Lea placed his hand on Elvis’ forehead and said while nodding, “he’s not heating up and not twitching. The vital organs are not harmed, so it’s just a simple external injury. With such an injury…… ha, he would most likely wake up in the afternoon, so you don’t have to worry, Xiao Meng.”
Seeing that Lea was so relaxed, Gu Mengmeng slowly heaved a sigh of relief.
Crap, using her hands to touch her hubby’s heart. It was so spine chilling just at the thought of this……
