Lock You In My Heart Chapter 394
Lock You In My Heart
This moment was supposed to be romantic and heartwarming.
But the moment Gabrielle remembered what happened to Sloane, she felt saddened.
The smile on her face disappeared, and her eyes were laden with uneasiness. She couldnât even taste the steak anymore, no matter how delicious it was.
Westley could see exactly what she was feeling.
âWhatâs the matter, my love? Is the steak not good?â he asked.
âNo, itâs great, actually. I just wanted to ask you if itâs okay for me to bring Sloane along next time.â The way Gabrielle looked at him showed that she was hopeful of an affirmative answer.
âSo, sheâs thinking of Sloane, huh? No wonder she seems so sad,â Westley thought to himself.
Naturally, he would never refuse her.
âNo problem.â
âThank you so much, Westley,â she replied with glee.
âYou silly girl!â
âSloane is in a coma right now. I hope she wakes up soon. I donât want her to stay like that forever. Iâm worried that...â Gabrielle couldnât bring herself to finish that sentence. She was afraid that saying it out loud would make it come true.
âSloane is such an unlucky girl. Why does she have to suffer through something that she doesnât deserve?
God is so unfair. Why is he punishing someone as kindhearted and lovable as Sloane instead of all the evil people in the world?â
she wondered.
âThereâs no reason to be afraid.â Westley held her hand to offer comfort.
âIâve gathered the best neurosurgeons in the world to treat her. It wonât be long until she recovers.â In reality, he couldnât guarantee Sloaneâs recovery.
After all, this was not his field of specialization.
Moreover, it was apparent that Sloane had no will to survive her condition.
It would be difficult to the best doctors in the world.
However, Westley knew the truth that it would be difficult to make Sloane recover, âI know. Honestly, Sloane has to cooperate with the doctors. If she doesnât have enough will to survive, itâll be fruitless even if the doctors are the best in the world. Westley, I think weâll need to let Benny see Sloane. Perhaps he could be the key to helping her regain the fervor for life. What happened back then was all because of him. Whether itâs love or hatred, he may be the only person who can wake her up.â thought of this possibility.
If it werenât for that reason, she would never let Benny see Sloane again. It would be better if they didnât see each other for the rest of their lives.
âHave you made up your mind, Gabrielle?â Westley looked serious when he asked the question.
Gabrielle fell silent for a moment before she nodded in agreement.
âI have. It seems that this is the only way we can help Sloane As long as it could help Sloane regain consciousness, she was willing to let Benny see her.
But it still depended on fate if he could wake Sloane up.
If he failed to wake Sloane up, she would sever ties between Benny and Sloane in the future.
âSure, Iâll take care of it.â Westley called Alvin at once.
âAlvin, find Benny as soon as you can and take him to Sloaneâs ward. Tell him her coma. If he canât do it, he will never be allowed to see her again for the rest of his life. This is his one and only chance,â he said.
âUnderstood, Mr. Morris. I shall do that at once.â Alvin never questioned any task that Westley gave him. To him, it was his duty to obey. There was no need to ask for a reason. All he needed was to do his job well.
âNo matter where he is, find him an d drag him to Sloaneâs ward if you have to. I want this done soon.â Having said that, Westley disconnected from the call. This was how he always behaved. As his executive assistant, Alvin was well aware of his masterâs personality.
Gabrielle just sat there, watching Westley give orders. âSure enough, only the cold and calculating CEO of the Morris Group would give such a crazy command,â she thought to herself.
âGabrielle, Iâve already told Alvin to deal with Benny. Heâll take Benny to Sloane the soonest that he can. Whether he can help Sloane wake up is an entirely different matter.â Even until now, Westley had no intention of guaranteeing that this would succeed.
Truthfully, this matter had nothing to do with him. If it werenât for Gabrielle, he never wouldâve cared about Sloane.
âThank you, Westley. I know that youâve helped me a lot. Whether Sloane wakes up or not all depends on her fate now,â
Gabrielle said in a relatively calm voice.
Sometimes, people must resign themselves to fate.
If God wouldnât allow Sloane to wake up, then no matter what Gabrielle did, she would never be able to bring Sloane back to life.
âCome on, letâs have dinner first. The food is getting cold. Youâve done your best to help Sloane, so thereâs no need to blame yourself for what happened.â Westley poured her a glass of warm water.
After they ate dinner, they went back to the underground hotel through the glass tunnel.
Westley had booked a suite on the tenth floor underground. It wasnât that deep, and neither was it shallow. They were around forty meters below ground level, and this depth was a perfect level to lie down and watch the fishes.
By the time the sun would rise the next morning, rays of sunshine could reach this room. If it had been too deep underwater, no light wouldâve been able to reach the room.
After Westley led her back to the room, Gabrielle quickly drew the curtains, leaning against the glass wall to see the fishes swimming outside.
The fishes were so beautiful. They came in all shapes, colors, and sizes.
âWestley, I donât think I can sleep tonight.â Gabrielleâs face was pressed against the glass wall, and she seemed to have no intention of leaving.
Westley approached her and stood behind her. He then put his arms around her waist, resting his head on her shoulder and staring at the fishes on the other side of the glass wall.
âIf you donât want to sleep, Iâll stay up with you,â he replied in a soft voice.
Gabrielle was a little surprised to hear him say that. After a while, she said, âNo, I was just making a casual remark.â She didnât want him to stare at the fishes with her all night. All she wanted to do was to amuse herself, and not burden him.
âLetâs go take a shower together.â Westley held her hand, dragging her towards the bathroom.
Of course, Gabrielle didnât want to bathe with him, because she was far too shy.
âNo, you should go and take a shower first. Iâll take a bath after you,â she answered.
Knowing that he just wanted to use this opportunity to do something to her, she was reluctant to go into the bathroom.
Westley noticed that she was feeling shy, so he continued to drag her towards the bathroom. âDonât worry. I just want to take a shower. I wonât do anything to you. Of course, if youâre the one who wants to do some stuff with me, I wonât object to it,â he said.
âWhat does he mean by that?
What kind of woman does he think I am?
Heâs gone too far!â Gabrielle cursed inwardly.
âI donât want to bathe with you,â she shouted.
âIt seems that Iâll have to carry you there.â Westley carried her without even asking for permission.
