Something amazing happened.
Bit by bit, Abbe's face started to plump up and turn rosy. Her weak aura also began to strengthen again…
"It works! The Tree of Vitality's branch is working!" Meng Lei couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. "How are you feeling, Abbe?"
"You shouldn't have saved me, Meng Lei."
Abbe, who had recovered a bit of spirit, stared at Meng Lei in a daze as a layer of mist formed in her beautiful eyes. "You shouldn't have!"
"No matter what, we're housemates and classmates. It's inexcusable behavior if I leave you to die when saving you is within my means."
With a laugh, Meng Lei helped Abbe up and said, "Let's go. We'll leave this place and talk again when we reach somewhere safe."
"Okay!"
Abbe didn't speak any further. She rested her head against Meng Lei's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat…
Meng Lei's embrace suddenly felt so safe, so firm, and so warm to her…
