Lock You In My Heart Chapter 547
Lock You In My Heart
Making trouble for other people was the last thing Gabrielle wanted. She tried not to and yet, Gabrielle seemed to attract trouble over and over again.
This time, Nathan was seriously injured because of her. She did not anticipate something this unfortunate would happen.
Westleyâs men killed all of the robbers that couldnât escape. After that, they ran straight to Gabrielle.
âAre you alright, Gabrielle?â Westley anxiously asked.
âWestley... Youâre finally here!â Gabrielle had been trying her best to stay courageous. The moment she saw Westley, she collapsed into his arms and burst into tears.
She was terrified that she might die there. If she did, she would never be able to see Westley ever again.
Luckily, she stayed alive.
âAre you stupid?! That was so dangerous. You shouldnât have gone there. Did you see the bullets? You would die if they hit you.
How could you let yourself be so reckless? What am I going to do if you died?â Westley screamed angrily.
Gabrielle did not expect Westleyâs furious outburst. It confused her. Eventually, she understood his anger. Gabrielle knew that it was because he cared about her more than anything.
âWestley... Iâm so sorry. I didnât mean to do it. I just... The kid, when did the kid pass out?â Seeing the unconscious child in her arms, Gabrielle freaked out.
She took a closer look and saw that there werenât only wounds on the childâs palms, there was also blood oozing from the childâs nape. Gabrielle was too nervous that she did not notice it beforehand.
âWhat... What happened?! The child just fainted.â Gabrielle sounded helpless as she looked at Westley in panic.
âItâs okay, Gabrielle. Iâm here now. Thereâs nothing to be afraid of,â Westley reassured.
He called Slater over and said, âTake the child to the hospital as soon as possible.â Westley took the child from Gabrielleâs arms and handed her to Slater.
âCopy that, Mr. Morris. I will take the child to the hospital now.â With those last words, Slater left for the hospital with the child cradled in his arms. He ordered someone to take Nathan to the hospital as well. After all, he was seriously injured and needed medical attention as soon as possible. âTake care of him. Donât let him die,â Gabrielle reminded. Nathanâs waist was badly injured. Seeing how upset she was over another manâs injury, Westley was angered even more.
With his own two eyes, Westley saw how Nathan risked his life to protect Gabrielle. He got shot because he acted as a human shield for her. Nathan saved Gabrielleâs life. That mere fact upset Westley. He felt guilty for not being there for her. âI should have been the one who saved her. Not some random man! Now Gabrielle is indebted to another man. Gabrielle owed him big time. It was a debt that could not be paid lightly. âGabrielle... Are you hurt?â Determined to keep his anger in control, Westley grabbed her shoulder and intently stared at her. He was worried that she had been injured as well.
âIâm okay. Donât worry about me,â Gabrielle seriously replied. There was nothing but a small cut on her knees. When she knelt down to check on the child, broken glass hit her knees. Now that she had noticed the wounds, she felt how painful they were.
âGabrielle!â Westley roared, aiming to remind her to answer his question seriously. He also wanted her to pay more attention to her own well-being. âItâs not a big deal. I didnât get hurt anywhere else,â Gabrielle replied. She felt guilty.
âAre you okay, Gabrielle?â Melissa asked. She came to check on her.
âMs. Glyn, did you hurt your forehead?â Gabrielle couldnât help herself from worrying when she saw the wound on her forehead.
âIâm alright. Itâs nothing but a bruise. Are you hurt?â Melissa was more worried about Gabrielle.
âI promise, Iâm fine. I only hurt my knees a little. Nathan...â
âDonât blame yourself. I know Nathan will be fine.â Melissa felt sorry for Nathan. However, he acted upon his own will. Nobody coerced him into saving Gabrielle.
âLetâs go to the hospital first,â Westley interrupted as he lifted Gabrielle into his arms.
âWestley, what are you... â
Gabrielle looked uncomfortable as she wrapped her arms around Westleyâs neck.
She hid behind the safety of the table so she didnât see how bad the situation was. Now that she had taken a glimpse of it, she was caught in shock.
Injured bodies, glass and blood were all over a place. It was a horrible sight.
âDonât look,â Westley ordered. There was a cold tone in his voice.
Obediently, Gabrielle closed her eyes. However, the memory of what had happened was permanently pasted on her subconscious mind. She could not forget about it. What happened today would forever be in her thoughts. âGabrielle, someone will tend to this place. We should go to the hospital. I want to make sure that youâre fine,â Westley comforted as he held her in his strong, masculine arms. For him, nothing mattered more than her safety. âAlright.â Gabrielle did not say anything more. She leaned her head against his firm chest, listening to his heartbeat and letting his warmth embrace her feeble body. It brought her a great deal of relief. âWestley. If I died...â âGabrielle! Donât say that!â Westley interrupted her before she could even finish her words.
He did not want to hear such awful words come out of her mouth. âIf she died?! How dare she leave this world without my permission?!â âWestley, Iâm not kidding. It might happen someday,â Gabrielle insisted. Westley frowned. He was beyond angry but he chose not to argue with her anymore. With her in his arms, they got into the car. Westley ordered the driver to take them to the hospital. âWestley, are you angry because of what I said?â Gabrielle reached out to hold his hand.
He pursed his lips. âYou know that I would be furious. Why did you still mention it? Did your brain get hurt as well? Or do you just think that Iâm not sad enough? Do you want to make me feel even more horrible?â The anger in Westleyâs veins was boiled over.
However, he did not want to vent it out on Gabrielle. He was determined to hold it in, even if she said something undeniably upsetting. It made Westley furious that Gabrielle did not take her life seriously. âIf I could just tie her around my waist, I would. I never want her to leave my side,â Westley thought to himself.
