Lock You In My Heart Chapter 561
Lock You In My Heart
Gabrielle had wanted to see Nathan for a while now, but guards had constantly been standing guard outside his ward. No one was allowed to enter, so she had no choice but to just continue down the hall.
Judging by this alone, it was clear that Nathan was held in high regard within the Sanderson Family. The excessive security they had provided for him was a stark contrast to Victorâs situation.
No wonder they had turned against each other and ended up as enemies.
âI just wanted to see him,â Gabrielle told Melissa awkwardly. âHe did save my life, and now heâs in a coma. Itâs only right that I pay him a visit, but the Sanderson Family sent people to guard his room. Thereâs no way I can get in.â
Melissa knew that she was a sentimental person. Since Nathan had taken a bullet for her, it was inevitable for Gabrielle to take it as a lifetime debt.
âDonât get too upset about this, Gabrielle. And donât feel guilty, either. I watched Nathan grow up, so I know him very well. If there was something he didnât want to do, then no one can force him to. When he saved you, he did so by his own free will.â She wanted to comfort the younger girl and ease some of her remorse.
âI know, I know.â Gabrielle took a deep breath and resolved not to show Melissa any more of her weakness and anxiety. She could tell that Melissa didnât want her to worry too much.
âWell, in any case. Iâll ask Jonathan to take you to see Nathan tomorrow.â Melissa looked at her.
âThank you,â Gabrielle replied sincerely. âItâs getting late, so I should be getting back. Iâll talk to Westley later about the plan to spend some days with you. You can ask Mr. Walker, too, if heâd like to join us.â
She was already looking forward to it, and hoped that the plan would push through.
âSure, Iâll mention it to him. Now, be careful on the road,â Melissa warned her.
âThen, please have a good rest. Iâll be taking my leave now. Iâll come and see you again tomorrow.â Gabrielle stood up and gave Melissa a small vow. Westley was on the phone when Gabrielle came up to his car. The moment he saw her, he ended his call and opened the door for her. âHave you finished talking with Ms. Glyn?â he asked. âYes. Were you taking a call from Antawood?â
Gabrielle said as she settled into the passenger seat. âThatâs right. Alvin said that Rose and Doctor Maniac are adapting very well.â
Westley reached over to the back seat and took out a cup of milk tea, then handed it to Gabrielle. The beverage was still quite warm. He must have just bought it. She took a sip happily, and her mood instantly lifted. âThank you for this. I love you.â
Gabrielle beamed at him. âYouâre welcome. Iâm happy that youâre happy. âWestley smiled and ruffled her hair. âI already knew that they got used to the place quickly. Theyâre both powerhouses who managed to survive in the forest, after all. But itâs still a relief to hear that.â Gabrielle took another sip of her drink and sighed contentedly. It was so warm and sweet. It was bliss.
âIndeed. Their time back at the forest probably played a part in helping them adjust to new surroundings. You shouldnât worry about this anymore. I bought them a villa in Half Moon Bay so that they can live in the same neighborhood as us. This way, it would be easier to look after them in the future.â It seemed that Westley had taken everything into consideration before executing his plans.
âSo we can be neighbors? Thatâs great! By the way, do you really think itâs all right for Rose to stay with Doctor Maniac under the same roof?â
Gabrielle was still worried.
She knew very well that the two were always bickering every time they were together. She couldnât even imagine how worse it would get if Rose and Doctor Maniac were forced to cohabitate.
âWeâll have to let them live together for the time being. We can consult with them when we go and see them again, and if theyâre against it, then weâll give them separate residences.â Westley would respect their decision on the matter.
âTheyâve known each other for so many years. I personally think it would be better for them to be together, itâs more lively and fun. I hope things work out fine,â Gabrielle said worriedly.
âDonât worry. Iâm sure they will.â He stroked her hair soothingly.
Despite their fights, it was true that Rose and Doctor Maniac had experienced a lot of ups and downs together. Westley was convinced that they wouldnât cause any trouble. âIâm not worried about them. The two of them are very rational and wonât cause any trouble,â Gabrielle said calmly, hoping that the two of them wouldnât make trouble. âEven if they encounter any problems, Alvin will be there to deal with it.â Westley straightened in his seat and changed the topic.
âWhat did you talk about with Ms. Glyn? You look pleased when you came out earlier.â âNot much, really.â Then Gabrielle thought of something, and she turned to him with a serious expression. âNow that youâve brought it up, though, I have something to ask you.â âWhat is it?â Westley didnât start the car just yet. Instead, he leaned back and waited for her question. âMs. Glyn and Mr.
Walker happen to be here, and the national holiday is just a few days away. I was thinking of inviting them to the villa to celebrate with us. What do you think?â Gabrielleâs eyes were wide with a mix of hope and unease.
âYou want them to celebrate with us?â he repeated, looking surprised and annoyed at the same time. If it were just Melissa, Westley might be able to tolerate it. She was Gabrielleâs favorite teacher. Jonathan, on the other hand, was a member of the Walker family. That meant that he was one of the people the Morris family didnât want to have anything to do with. âYes. The more, the merrier, right? Besides, Ms. Glyn is injured. She would be delighted if she had someone to celebrate with. Donât you think so, Westley? Well, if you donât approve, then we can just forget about it. Itâs my fault. Iâm sorry I made plans without asking you first.
â Seeing the serious and hesitant look on Westleyâs face, Gabrielle wondered if she telling this to Melissa without asking him first made Westley unhappy. All things considered, Melissa was from her circle, not Westleyâs. There was no reason for him to openly welcome her teacher, no matter how much she liked her. âThatâs not what I meant at all,â Westley rushed to explain, struggling to mask his reluctance. âIt was just so sudden, and I havenât made any preparations. Ms. Glyn is someone you are fond of. I wouldnât want to be remiss with my hospitality.â Gabrielle burst into gleeful laughter. âI knew you wonât refuse! Ms. Glyn and Mr.
Walker are good people. We can spend some days together. Now, letâs just wait for the child to wake up.â
