Chapter 1032: I Will Definitely Return This Favor.
Apart from preparing their meals, Lea spent most of his time taking care of Natalie. Peter had a very fast recovery rate, and most of his superficial wounds had healed in just a few days. But he remained very weak, as the person he was worried about was still in a coma.
Natalie’s face remained sickly pale. Nevertheless, there was now a faint reddish tinge to her lips.
Lea was taking good care of the wound and it was no longer infected. However, it was healing very slowly.
The drought season was gradually approaching, and Elvis and Lea would not let Gu Mengmeng remain at the stray beast camp, for the simple reason that there was no water source here.
They would have to return to Sauder or Saint Nazaire, and they needed to start the journey now so that they could arrive before the water source ran dry.
With her injuries, there was no way Natalie could travel with her Gu Mengmeng, but...
Peter was no longer in a position to remain here as the king of stray beasts.
Gu Mengmeng couldn’t stop worrying, and after much wheedling and cajoling, the final decision was to leave in three days’ time.
And just as Gu Mengmeng was prepared to leave, Natalie woke up.
Heaving a sigh of relief, Gu Mengmeng felt like a huge burden was lifted off.
It was as if since getting Chixuan back from Cole, everything had been miraculously progressing in the right direction.
Peter carefully hugged Natalie, finally breathing normally again after so many days.
“Lea, prepare some easily digestible food. We will head off after lunch.”
Lea chuckled. The moment he saw Natalie wake up, he guessed that they would once again delay their set-off time. But luckily they would leave right after lunch. He had thought Gu Mengmeng would beg to remain until tomorrow. The fact that she was willing to leave in the afternoon was already better than he had expected.
Lea prepared the meal very quickly and brought over piping hot mince meat and potato porridge. Peter automatically supported Natalie with his own body, letting her sit upright while leaning against his chest. He didn’t let her exert the slightest bit of energy.
Taking over the stone bowl and spoon from Lea, Peter fed Natalie from behind.
But Gu Mengmeng cut in and pushed aside the spoonful of food which Peter was just about to feed Natalie. She looked up to see Peter’s fierce glare. Gu Mengmeng was not at all intimidated but just chuckled. “You are not in any position now to look at me like that.”
Peter frowned but didn’t retort. He just said, “Thank you for saving Natalie. I will definitely return this favor.”
Gu Mengmeng shook her head. She lifted one corner of the animal hide covering Natalie’s body, to reveal a lifelike black wolf on the spot over her heart. Gu Mengmeng pointed at the black wolf’s face. “I am referring to this.”
Stunned, Peter didn’t know how to react.
Natalie had a black wolf mark on her body...?
Had he been so focused on Natalie’s face the past few days that he didn’t even discover this mark on her?
Or did he see it but was too distracted to ponder over this matter...
He had been consumed by thoughts of whether she would live and so neglected the changes on her body, and also the changes on his own?
Peter stared in disbelief at the spot over Natalie’s chest...
It was his mark over there.
There was no way he could be mistaken. That black wolf was him.
And it was actually on the spot over her heart!
