After Leonard left, Gu Mengmeng kept quiet for a long while as she hugged Elvis' neck. Elvis and Lea thought she was feeling bad after witnessing the earlier scene, as she had a soft heart. But they didn't know how to console her.
They were afraid of saying the wrong thing and making her feel even sadder. Hence, they maintained their silence.
The group continued going forward and Gu Mengmeng finally spoke after some time. "Hubby, I will definitely protect myself well in the future. I will never let you and Lea endure the pain that Leonard suffered."
Elvis and Lea were both shocked, but quickly smiled.
In the Beast World, females are used to viewing themselves as the most precious. It was normal for them to protect themselves at all costs and not subject themselves to any harm. Only their own female liked to charge towards all sorts of danger without even taking a breather.
