That moment when Gu Mengmeng leaned backwards, Elvis rushed towards her out of instincts. His hand grabbed nothing in midair and he could not catch Gu Mengmeng in time. The unease in his heart grew bigger instantly, and he did not consider anything before directly jumping into the lake water to catch Gu Mengmeng, who was holding her breath and sinking deeper into the water, in his arms tightly. He gave his feet a push and came out from the water.

The lake water at this time was already very cold. It did not mean much to males but to females, this could cause them their lives.

Elvis did not have the time to blame or lecture her. He just carried the trembling Gu Mengmeng whose eyes were shut and ran towards the cave like a madman. He kept running while howling to the skies, as if he was sending some kind of message.

Gu Mengmengs mind was already muddling along without any aim and after being bumped around by Elvis till her stomach started churning, water gushed out from her mouth and nose.

After Elvis carried Gu Mengmeng back to the cave, he immediately took a thick beast skin to wipe her dry before wrapping her up. Then, he used the firewood that was prepared long ago to start a fire. Once everythings in place, Elvis evolved into his wolf form and used his stomach to protect the freezing Gu Mengmeng by using his body heat to maintain her temperature.

But what a pity, Gu Mengmeng was tormented too badly these few days. Her body was already very weak during the menstruation period and after sinking herself in the cold water, she felt so much more awful. She curled up her body and closed her eyes shut, looking as pitiful as an abandoned infant.

Not long later, Elvis heard a rustle outside the cave. He evolved back into human form and placed Gu Mengmeng next to the fireplace gently. He ruffled her hair while muttering to himself bitterly, Cant it be me?

Gu Mengmeng did not reply to him and just held onto her shoulders tightly, huddling her entire body up with all her might. She was restless and in agony.

Elvis landed a light kiss on her forehead before using a pacifying tone to talk to her, Its alright, its alright. The person you want to see is here. How about letting him in to accompany you?

Gu Mengmeng opened her eyes, her eyelids sore and painful. She extended her hand to grasp Elviss fingers weakly and asked with a hoarse voice, Whos here?

Elvis gave a bitter laugh and replied, Lea, hes here. Hes just at the boundary of my territory. Ill call him in to see you and let him accompany you, alright?

Suddenly, Gu Mengmeng felt her nose turning sore, and she started crying.

She choked on her tears and could not say a single word, shaking her head profusely.

Elvis looked at her in shock and said, his heart aching badly, Whats wrong? Why are you crying again?

Gu Mengmeng did not answer him and shook her head while crying. She used all her energy to grab onto Elviss fingers but still found it not secure enough. She was so scared that Elvis would retract his hand and call Lea in.

Elvis frowned, wiping Gu Mengmengs tears away while his heart was breaking to pieces. He pulled her in for a sideways hug to pacify her uneasiness and whispered to her ear, Arent you tormenting yourself like this for him?

Gu Mengmeng did not say a word and just shook her head profusely in Elviss arms.

Elvis could not bear to see Gu Mengmeng being so agitated and he could only try to ask, You dont want to see him? Then shall I ask him to leave?

Gu Mengmeng then became silent, slowly releasing her hand that was tightly grasping onto Elviss fingers. She continued hugging onto her own shoulders, curling up into a ball.

Elvis sighed, he could never understand what Gu Mengmeng was thinking about. What he could do was to complete whatever she wanted.

Since she did not want to see Lea, then that would be it.

Elvis walked out of the cave and stared at Lea who was standing at the boundaries of his territory, asking him, Are you not coming in?

Leas gaze was empty and deep. He smiled bitterly while replying, Here is not a place I can easily enter anymore, I guess.
