novelHer Man Should Never Have To Suffer Conflict From A Kill
| ← Ch.0794 | Ch.0796 → |
"I cannot give you the Kiss of the Ocean, but if you are willing to tell me why you need it, perhaps I can think of another way to help you." Gu Mengmeng pushed Wabei away and walked to Elvis' side.
She opened her arms and made a "hug me" gesture.
She did not fear the murderous aura on Elvis at all. She just hoped to bring some peace and happiness to Elvis.
Killing might be the easiest and most straightforward solution, but it would never bring one joy.
Her man should never have to suffer conflict from a kill.
Elvis had never rejected Gu Mengmeng's intimacy, regardless of the situation.
He drew Gu Mengmeng into his embrace before moving back guardedly. Wabei lazily placed himself between Elvis and his father while Lea stood beside Elvis and slightly to the front. Even Ian was hidden in the trees in a vigilant manner. Meanwhile, countless little snakes were in the undergrowth ready for action. The moment Elvis' father made any suspicious movement, he would be attacked from all sides.
He sighed—the surrender of a formidable and ambitious person.
He forced himself to sit up. As a stray beast, he knew all too well he had no moves left and was reconciled to it.
He had clearly been seeking death's release all this while, but was unable to die.
He couldn't let go of that person whom he was supposed to hate. If the leader of the stray beasts himself died, what would happen to that person...
He should be feeling the thrill of vengeance, but just felt a raw ache in his heart.
"I want to use it to save someone, " Elvis' father said.
"Who?" Gu Mengmeng asked.
Elvis' father hesitated before pointing at Elvis."His beast mother."
"Your wife?" Gu Mengmeng blurted out despite knowing that couldn't be the case.
If Elvis' mother was his wife, how could he have become a stray beast?
So...
As expected, Elvis' father quivered as if he had been stabbed in the heart.
Knowing that she had said something wrong but also knowing that an apology would sound too false, Gu Mengmeng just changed the subject."What happened to her?"
The eyes of Elvis' father clouded over. He lowered his head and said with reluctance, "She's dying."
Stunned, Gu Mengmeng turned to look at Elvis.
Elvis bore no expression, as if he was listening to a story that had absolutely nothing to do with himself.
It was not that he was cold-blooded. It was just that the concept of a mother was totally foreign to him.
He had never experienced the slightest bit of gentleness from his mother. On the contrary, nearly all the hardships he had endured in his youth stemmed from that female.
Pity...
It was too difficult for Elvis to feel that.
But he had never mentioned any of that to Gu Mengmeng before.
It was not that he didn't desire comfort, but that he was unwilling to expose her to such ugly memories.
Her presence by his side was already the greatest comfort he could receive.
Gu Mengmeng knew Elvis had an unhappy childhood and suffered much pain. She didn't wish to force him to forgive his father, but to at least spare his life. In this way, if Elvis wanted to forgive his father one day, he would have the chance to hear him say "sorry".
"Lea." Gu Mengmeng turned towards Lea. He was the true expert in saving lives.
Lea chuckled and stroked Gu Mengmeng's little head."I got it. I will go with him to see that female."
