Lock You In My Heart Chapter 556
Lock You In My Heart
Gabrielle sounded sincere. She wanted Jonathan to understand that she wasnât someone who would sell her morals for money.
Money wasnât the only thing in the world, and she didnât want to accept his rewards.
âMs. Jones, Iâm surprised to hear that. Melissa was right about you. But I hope you understand how much I love my wife; she is everything to me. You saved her, which means youâve saved my life as well. I want to give this reward as a token of my gratitude.
If you donât think itâs enough, I donât mind giving you more,â Jonathan said intently.
Judging from his attitude, Gabrielle could tell he was not joking.
âMr. Walker, you have misunderstood me. This is too much. I canât accept it. Since you love Ms. Glyn so much, you should also know what kind of person she is. She wouldnât thank me this way,â Gabrielle said sternly.
Gabrielle and Melissa shared a good relationship. She felt humiliated to accept a check for helping her. She felt the money would change the dynamic of their relationship.
âIâm sorry, Ms. Jones. That was very impolite of me. I just wanted to thank you, but I should have considered your feelings as well. Itâs my fault. Please pardon me.â Jonathan viewed the world with a business mind; he didnât take Gabrielleâs feelings into account.
âDonât worry, Mr. Walker. I understand your intention. You donât have to apologize to me.
I know you are doing this because you love Ms. Glyn a lot. I donât blame you. I am willing to donate more blood and help in every way possible to make sure Ms. Glyn is fine,â Gabrielle said solemnly.
âMelissa is lucky to have a student like you. Well... since you donât want to accept my gift, can you at least accept my business card?â Jonathan stretched out his business card to Gabrielle and looked at her expectantly.
âMr. Walker, I...â âMs. Jones, please donât refuse it. If at all you need anything, donât hesitate to call me. I will always be happy to help you.â Jonathan meant every word he said. After a momentâs thought, Gabrielle accepted the card and slid it into her pocket.
âThank you for the business card, Mr. Walker. Itâs getting late, and I have to leave. If you need anything else, please contact me.â
Gabrielle didnât want to waste any more time. She wanted to go home with Westley.
They didnât plan to stay at the hospital that night. It was time to go back. âMs. Jones, you can leave now. Remember what I said.
If you need any help, just call me. I will absolutely help you with anything you need. Please donât hesitate.â Jonathan wanted Gabrielle to understand that he would keep his promise. âThank you, Mr. Walker. Goodbye.â Gabrielle stood up and left.
Jonathan sat there quietly and watched Gabrielle walk out of the cafe and get into a black car parked outside. âWestley, why are you waiting for me here?â Gabrielle shot a quizzical look at him. She had thought that Westley would wait for her in the childâs ward, but he had parked his car in front of the coffee shop.
âI wanted to s ee you earlier. So how did it go?â Westley asked as he planted a soft kiss on her forehead.
âMr. Walker just wanted to thank me for donating blood to Ms. Glyn. Do you know how much reward he is going to give me?â she asked, trying to keep a straight face.
âHow much?â Judging from Jonathanâs status, Westley guessed it must have been a generous amount.
âTen million! Well, I should accept it. Then, Iâll start my own studio, or travel around the world,â she joked.
âDo you regret it?â Westley arched an eyebrow and studied her face. He knew Gabrielle well enough to know that she wouldnât care about the ten million. If she wanted money, she would have already asked him a long time ago. He had enough money to make her dreams come true.
âWell, I would regret it only if I took the money. Ms. Glyn has helped me a lot. The least I could do was donate my blood. If I took Mr. Walkerâs money, I would be no different from a robber.â Gabrielle leaned back and heaved a sigh of relief.
âGabrielle, if you want to start a studio, Iâll help you with it. If you want to travel around the world, I donât mind accompanying you.
Iâm willing to follow you to the end of the world. We donât need anyone else to sponsor,â Westley promised, staring into her eyes.
He believed he was capable of fulfilling all her needs without relying on anyone.
âWestley, Iâm not competent enough to start a studio now. I was kidding. Iâll start one when I have the skills and expertise. Letâs go home.â Gabrielle didnât think Westley would take it seriously. She almost forgot how much Westley cared about her. If Gabrielle joked about something, he would assume it was true and help her realize her dream. Therefore, she had stopped joking around him because he took her every word to heart. âOkay. Back to our sweet home.â Westley started the car. âBut Mr.
Walker has given me his business card. He said I could ask him for help but I donât think itâs necessary.
I donât want to bother anyone.â Gabrielle shrugged dismissively. âYou donât have to bother others but you can always bother me.
Do you understand?â Westley smiled. âOf course, I know. Iâm going to bother you all my life. You canât escape from me.â
Gabrielle glanced in the direction of the hospital. âItâs my pleasure.â âWestley, is the kid still in a coma? What did the doctor say?
Howâs the investigation going?â Gabrielle quickly changed the topic.
âSlater has done a lot of research. Apparently, the child lives with his mother in Bangkok. Although they live a wealthy life, the childâs father is still unknown. His mother is probably the mistress of a big shot, and the boy is an illegitimate child. There is no information about his father. We have tried every way possible, but it looks like we have hit the dead end. No clue at all.â Westley summarized the information Slater had shared with him. After a momentâs silence, Gabrielle blew out a loud breath. âI guessed it.
The identity of the child and his mother remains a secret.â
