Beauty and the Beast: Wolf Hubby XOXO Chapter 798

Chapter 798: Do You Know What Is Despondency?

The female was clearly smiling but her face was filled with despondency.
“Why?” Gu Mengmeng did not understand.
Gu Mengmeng could empathize if the female had just been snatched by stray beasts and wished to die because she couldn’t stand the torment. But now, Elvis was already 16 years old. If she had wanted to die from the shame of it… hadn’t she waited too long to react?
Peter also did not treat this female like how a typical stray beast treated a female he had snatched over. This could be seen from her lodgings, as well as Peter’s willingness to risk such danger to steal the Kiss of the Ocean for her.
Let’s not mention about her own powers. Just Elvis and Wabei those two formidable opponents—to face them alone was like courting death a hundred times over. If he was willing to risk such danger for her… Gu Mengmeng didn’t believe he wasn’t good to her.
So Gu Mengmeng didn’t understand exactly why had she suddenly decided to give up on life?”
“Do you know… what is despondency?” The female asked slowly. Her voice was as faint as a feather being blown into the dirt. One could barely hear her voice.
Despondency?
Gu Mengmeng did not have much experience with that term.
In the present world, she was a child whom nobody loved or cared about.
When she was four, her father had married a young third wife and forced a divorce upon her mother. When she was six, her mother brought her along when she remarried. She had witnessed how her mother had suffered from domestic abuse because she was towing along a child from her previous marriage. Everyday, she would tremble all over in fear the moment the doorbell rang. Nevertheless, this kind of life only went on until she was 13.
Her stepfather could no longer stand having an extra person in the household and drove her out the door.
Holding her two-year-old brother, her mother chose her current family over her.
Many people said she was very tragic and deserved to be pitied.
But she herself never felt so.
Life was full of ups and downs. It would never only spiral downwards. When you finally reach rock bottom, the only possible way forward was up.
So she had fought desperately to find somewhere to work without personal identification. She did not care how low the wages were, as long as she could have food to eat and a place to stay.
Although life was very tough, she felt her situation was improving day by day.
Despondency was not a word which existed in her dictionary.
When she had crossed over to the Beast World, she was in a panic and didn’t know what to do. But Elvis’s and Lea’s love and care for her was more than all the warmth she had ever received over the past 18 years. Although there were still problems here and there, she never doubted the blessings in her life.
So, just what kind of despondency would make this female give up on her own life?
Going on a hunger strike and starving herself to death. Such a long and tortuous way where every second was a struggle. Your stomach would endlessly challenge your will to die. Even so, she had endured this for nearly half a year?
“I was the one who made Peter into a stray beast. So he hates me… that is as a matter of course,” The female said faintly. Her face was blank as a deathly sadness consumed her. “When he snatched me from my tribe, I had still hoped that my males would come rescue me. But every time Peter went out, one of my partner marks would disappear… I was fearful and panicky. I started to wish they would not come and rescue me anymore. I just wanted them to live on…”
