Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 578

Hearing his words, Gabrielle was first dazed for a moment and then smiled.

“Mr. Morris, sometimes your insecurities are justified, they do spice things up at times. But don’t overdo it, okay?” Gabrielle reached out and pinched his hand, like a petulant brat.

This kind of behavior did not anger Westley in any way. Instead, he took Gabrielle’s hand into his palm.

“About that, it all depends on you, Mrs. Morris. If you can mention other men before me fewer times, then I’ll be less jealous,” Westley said, pinching her nose.

Gabrielle didn’t have much of an option since she wanted no trouble. She took her husband’s advice.

Mr. Morris was proficient at shifting blame.

“Mr. Morris, let’s talk about that some other time. We are here for Nellie. She ought to be okay now, right?” Not knowing what crime would be imposed on her, and seeing where things were heading, Gabrielle changed the topic instantly.

“The doctor said that everything is okay for now. But they will have to run a series of tests after she’s up tomorrow, to be sure,” said Remy calmly.

That was all he knew as far as Nellie was concerned. Besides, she fell seriously this time and had been drugged with sleeping pills. The dosage wasn’t high, but it was alarming. Whether the baby would be fine could only be determined when she woke up.

At that point, the doctor said they were alright.

Remy hadn’t much to explain on Nellie’s condition since he was not a gynecologist. He knew what he knew because he had talked to the gynecologist.

“I’m hoping she’ll be awake by tomorrow. Don’t allow anything else to happen to her and the baby.” The least Gabrielle could do was to pray. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Only God knew everything else. Nellie’s baby meant a lot to Westley. It was his best shot at drawing a well-defined line between him and the Collins family. Westley’s plan would be in vain if the baby didn’t make it. Gabrielle also had her share of worries. For her own reasons, she hoped Westley would be completely done with the Collins family. “Nothing is going to happen.” Westley held Gabrielle’s hand tightly. “You have my faith. Do you believe she will bless her sister and the baby in heaven?” said Gabrielle, with little hesitation. They knew Gabrielle referred to Helena, who had passed away five years ago.

Of course, she will. They were so close to each other, were it not for that, I’d have disagreed to get engaged to Nellie. I agreed because to me taking care of her sister would be a way of compensating her.” Westley spoke up. When the Collins amily asked him to get engaged to Nellie, he was fifty-fifty about it. Putting into consideration how much love Helena had or Nellie when alive, and how she worried that Nellie wouldn’t find a man to treat her well, he agreed. He barely had eelings for Nellie, but he’d take care of her child all in the name of Helena. Nonetheless, Nellie wasn’t convinced. She decided to escape with another man befo re their wedding.

That was very demeaning, but Westley was relaxed. His relationship with the Collins family had deteriorated further over time.

More significantly, he met his beloved lovely wife because of it.

Destiny was a puzzling thing. It could be a bloom amid a wide desert one moment, or it could be a trap in a meadow another moment.

When you were completely ready for it, it would not come upon you. But whenever you were off guard, it would come to you without warning.

“As a result, she will recognize your honesty. You did all in your power to keep Nellie and the child safe, and she would bless them in heaven.” Gabrielle knew that Helena had a special place in Westley’s heart, even if she was gone.

Helena, no matter what Westley thought of her, Gabrielle would never compete with her or be envious of her.

“Time’s not on your side. It’s getting late. You may return now. I’ll be in touch if anything comes up.” Remy urged both of them to leave.

It was already afternoon and they had not had a chance to have lunch.

“Is there a secure hotel or villa close? Let’s stay near the hospital today. The villa is quite far from here, and the hospital has no comfort. I hope you don’t mind coming with us, Remy.” Gabrielle was thoughtful.

“Gabrielle’s right. I’ll ask Slater to find us a place to stay. We can go there together.” As a matter of fact, Westley had thought of the same. He did not want Gabrielle to suffer another tedious journey.

They had been in and out of the hospital to the villa virtually every day lately. It was really exhausting. “Then I’ll message Michelle. If by chance she’s still in the country, we can invite her over.” Gabrielle took out her phone and texted Michelle immediately. Not so much later, Michelle replied. She was still doing a poster shoot in Thailand.

It was done that afternoon and she would go to their villa that evening. On Slater’s arrival, Gabrielle sent Michelle the address. A (though the villa Slater reserved for them was not guarded by the Campbell Family, it was safe. Nothing would go wrong since they had assigned personnel to secure the house. “The time is right to leave but we have to go through the supermarket. We need to get some ingredients.” Gabrielle became quite fatigued unconsciously.

They appeared to have a lot of stuff to prepare, and she worried that there wouldn’t be adequate time. Maybe the night would be over by the time they completed the dishes. “You can come up with a list and send Slater with it to get whatever you need. You must be tired today. Rest well when we get back to the villa,” Westley said imperiously. “Okay, let’s get to the villa. Is it far from here?” Gabrielle looked at Slater and asked. “It’s a ten-minute drive from here. Not far,” Slater coolly answered Gabrielle. “Fair enough, let’s go.” Gabrielle was running out of patience. “Off we go!” Westley held Gabrielle by the waist and headed out.
