Chapter 918: Will I Do Something As Despicable As Stealing Someone’s Partner?!
“I will let you stay on, but only for today.” Gu Mengmeng gritted her teeth.
Cole smiled and nodded. “Mmm, alright.”
Gu Mengmeng glared at Cole. “But you must promise not to make things difficult for Chixuan.”
Cole nodded as he promised. “I swear that I will not make things difficult for him over this matter.”
Gu Mengmeng nodded. She then proceeded to ignore Cole and transferred Chixuan from Lea over to Elvis. “Hubby, bring Chixuan back to the stone castle and settle him down. I will stay here to wait for Sandy to awaken.”
“Let Lea accompany you.”
No matter how powerful she was, he would never learn how to not worry over her.
Gu Mengmeng nodded. “Mmm, Collin is injured and Lea can take a look at his wounds.”
Elvis kissed Gu Mengmeng’s brow and then hauled Chixuan over his shoulder. He exchanged a look with Lea before leaving.
Gu Mengmeng treated Cole like empty air the entire time. She only had eyes for Lea.
They obviously had the same face and body but she could clearly tell between the two of them.
How did she manage to do that?
Cole’s curiosity was really piqued but he didn’t pursue the matter. He just followed behind Gu Mengmeng. He went wherever she went.
Lea walked beside Collin and took up his broken arm. He snorted disdainfully. “Useless.”
Collin lowered his head and didn’t dare to retort.
Lea made a splinter out of a branch to stabilize Collin’s arm. “I think you need to hand over your position as the guard of the Messenger. Look at you now… putting you beside my Mengmeng will ruin her image.”
“Alright now, Lea.”
Gu Mengmeng seldom heard Lea speak so sharply. Every word of his was stinging.
Cole was only a third-level beast and Gu Mengmeng felt that he was already being very brave for daring to stand up to Cole like that for Sandy.
Lea turned to look at Gu Mengmeng angrily. “Does your heart ache? That time, did you really like him?”
Gu Mengmeng gave Lea’s waist a vicious pinch. “What nonsense are you talking about? Will I do something as despicable as stealing someone’s partner?! What do you take me for?”
Scared, Lea quickly took back his words. “Alright, alright. I won’t say such things already.”
By then, Lea had already stabilized Collin’s arm. No one knew if he did it on purpose or not, but Lea started tapping against the tree branch with one finger, sending waves of pain down Collin’s arm. Collin gritted his teeth but dared not utter a single sound.
“You cannot take off this branch. It must be fixed to your arm until after Sandy gives birth, understand?”
Only after he finished speaking did Lea finally draw back his finger and turn towards Gu Mengmeng. He engulfed her in his arms and fussed as he nuzzled her cheek. “Mengmeng, I don’t like it when you defend other males. I will get jealous.”
Gu Mengmeng was completely helpless against Lea’s unrestrained jealousy. She could only stroke his face and say, “I am not defending Collin, but it’s just that… it’s not very ethical to bully an injured person.”
Lea kissed Gu Mengmeng’s cheek. “I am not bullying him. I am just telling him that if he wishes to protect his own female, sacrificing himself is not enough. Becoming stronger is the only way. He must first gain the ability to protect himself. Only then can he better protect those important to him.”
