It was rare that the Beast Deity was not sitting on the bench waiting for her, but standing at the entrance with arms open. The moment he saw Gu Mengmeng, he immediately hugged her with a fatherly benevolence. "My precious daughter. You have suffered."
Gu Mengmeng hasn't cried since Chixuan woke up. The tears dammed up over the past dozen over days burst through at the Beast Deity's words.
She did not dare to cry in front of Elvis and Lea and was also afraid of her son witnessing her tears.
She had kept everything inside with much hardship. Her chest felt clogged up as if someone had stuffed a bunch of cotton wool into it.
The Beast Deity gently patted her on her back. "Silly girl. Why bear all that unhappiness alone? Why didn't you come back earlier if you felt so miserable… you still have me."
