Chapter 240: Congratulations, You’ve Promoted.

Lea did not say anything. It was not because he did not want to but because he was unable to. These few days, he was anxiously longing to reunite with Gu Mengmeng. He pulled through every second of the long and tortuous period and even guarded outside the cave when she mated with Elvis. He could clearly hear her faint breathing, every one of her cries in pain and every moans of pleasure.
That was undoubtedly a type of torment. The only belief that was supporting him was that after Elvis finally became her First Partner, he could then return to her side. As long as she was willing to nod her head, as long as she still wants him, he would be with her forever.
But, the reunion he imagined countless number of times never had a scene like this.
Her eyes could not reflect his figure anymore and only repulsion and resistance was left in her expression. Her call of ‘Daddy Lea’ which made his heart flutter during that afternoon sleep was now a sharp sword piercing deep into his chest, a heart-wrenching pain, nothing more than that.
Lea suppressed his discomfort and checked Elvis’s wound thoroughly before doing an emergency treatment on him. From Gu Mengmeng’s expression, he clearly knew how much she cared for Elvis and if anything was to happen to Elvis, he would lose her forever without a doubt, forever and thoroughly lose her.
That night, Gu Mengmeng cuddled up next to Elvis to sleep. On the other hand, Lea sat by their bed quietly for the entire night.
The second day, when Gu Mengmeng woke up, her first reaction was to touch Elvis’s forehead and after ensuring that he was not having a fever anymore, she quietly heaved a sigh of relief. She flipped open the beast-skin in utmost cautiousness to look at the hideous wound on Elvis’s back. Blood stopped flowing out from it and the wound looked like it was healing. There was also no infection. Thank the lords.
Gu Mengmeng wanted to boil some water to wash up, but she saw Lea walking slowly from the space closer to the entrance that they used to stay in. He leaned against the wall and said, “I’ve already boiled water for you to wash up. I made roasted fish and potato soup for your breakfast. Go and eat some food to fill up your stomach first if not, you’ll fall sick again before Elvis wakes up.”
When Gu Mengmeng saw Lea, she was stunned. Maybe she had not fully woke up yet because her mind was still a little confused. She seemed like she did not know why Lea was here.
Lea sighed and continued, “You know that to a tribe, females are so much more precious than males so when you fall sick, I’ll definitely take care of you first. Then, Elvis’s condition will surely be neglected. Unless you wish that Elvis’s wound doesn’t get enough care, you better work hard to take care of yourself. Don’t distract me.”
Gu Mengmeng hit her own face to let her brain maintain clear-headedness. Then, she nodded her head, implying that she understood before putting another beast-skin on herself. The beast-skin that Elvis used to wrap her feet previously was also improved into the recommended leather boots a few days before those stray beasts rushed into their cave. Although it was not as exquisite as the products on Taobao, it won in terms of sturdy materials, warmth and comfort.
Gu Mengmeng turned her body and walked past Lea. From the start, she did not say even a word to Lea.
Was she still not willing to call him ‘Daddy Lea’ again?
Not long later, Lea heard the sound of Gu Mengmeng washing up, followed by her eating the food. The corners of his lips curved upwards. Luckily, she did not reject the food that he made.
Lea walked by the side of the bed and sat on the ground slowly, placing one leg bent on the floor and the other arched upwards with his two arms casually placed on them. His gaze was all along fixated on the place Gu Mengmeng left just now while his back was facing the bed Elvis was on as he muttered to himself, “Congratulations, you’ve been promoted.”
