Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 533

Gabrielle couldn’t believe what they said.

However, she chose not to ask any more. Gabrielle knew that no matter how much she prodded, they would never tell her the truth. Asking them would just be a waste of time.

She turned to walk into the villa only to find Doctor Maniac and Rose sitting in the living room.

Rose had just gotten out of her coma yesterday. It was unbelievable that she was now here in the flesh.

“Rose, you shouldn’t have gotten out of bed. You should be resting right now.” Gabrielle was worried.

“Don’t worry about me. My head gets painful sometimes but my limbs are doing just fine. I don’t a wheelchair. Unlike Doctor Maniac. It’s not as bad as you think it is,” Rose complained as she pointed at the gauze wrapped around her head.

Doctor Maniac couldn’t care less. After all, he had already known how sharp her tongue was. There had never been a time when she said anything nice to him. He had grown accustomed to her roughness. No matter how harsh her words were, he didn’t take them to heart.

“Rose, Doctor Maniac only suffered from minimal injury in his legs. I’m sure he would recover and would be able to stand up in no time,” Gabrielle explained.

Doctor Maniac was in grief when he found out that his legs had gotten injured. He looked calm on the outside but the truth was that it was a big deal to him. Nobody knew about it.

Long story short, it was wisest not to say such insensitive words in front of injured people.

“I’m hoping that he would recover sooner. It would be such a shame if someone as handsome as him would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair,” Rose said in a mocking voice.

“Rose… He helped you cure your wounds,” Gabrielle said, trying to soften the blow for Doctor Maniac.

“I know he was the one who carried me out of the wolf’s den. He saved me. But I don’t give a shit about it. He did it voluntarily. It’s not like I begged him or something,” Rose insisted. She did not like the idea of being indebted.

The truth was that Rose felt helpless. After all, it couldn’t be helped that she now owed Doctor Maniac for saving her. The day she entered the forest, Rose decided that she couldn’t care less about her life anymore. However, what Gabrielle said last night made her value the life she had once again. he’s right. I did it on my own will. She didn’t force me to do it. I do not intend on asking her to repay me. I wouldn’t subject her to be indebted to me,” Doctor Maniac calmly replied.

That very moment, Gabrielle sensed that something was wrong. Rose and Doctor Maniac had always bickered. It was odd for Doctor Maniac to concede. “Doctor Maniac… Rose… Are you two…” “Gabrielle, why are you alone? Where’s your husband?” Rose interrupted before Gabrielle could even finish her words. “My husband is away for business. I’m bored to death at the villa so I came to visit you. It’s much nicer when you have company. What do you want to eat? I can cook for you,” Gabrielle offered. Eating lunch alone made her feel quite lonely. Sharing a meal with the two of them brought her great joy.

She had breakfast alone. It was depressing. Westley used to keep her company. Gabrielle had been accustomed to sharing a meal with him every day. However, he was away for business. Eating alone saddened Gabrielle. There used to be a time when Gabrielle had to do it alone but then, there was nothing wrong with it. She had gotten used to sharing a meal with Westley that it almost seemed impossible for her to eat a meal by herself now. “You’re going to make lunch for us?” Rose looked at Gabrielle in surprise. “Yes. I’m quite talented when it comes to cooking. Just tell me what you want to eat. Let’s eat together today.” Gabrielle looked at the two of them expectantly.

“I’m good with anything. I’m excited to try your food!” Rose’s voice was filled with anticipation.

“Yeah, me too,” Doctor Maniac seconded. However, he wasn’t as enthusiastic as Rose. After all, he was a man obsessed with the art of medicine. Food wasn’t really in his list of interests.

Despite that, Gabrielle cooking for them piqued his interest.

“I’ll go check the kitchen for ingredients. I’ll have someone prepare everything,” Gabrielle said as she hurried into the kitchen.

It was unusual for Rose and Doctor Maniac to look forward to lunch so much. Gabrielle was determined to make something incredible so she wouldn’t let the two of them down.

Soon, Gabrielle came out of the kitchen looking relaxed. “I just checked the fridge. There’s enough food for the three of us. I don’t think we need to get anything else.”

“Gabrielle… Is everything fine?” She looked at Gabrielle’s face carefully. Rose could sense that there was something wrong with her even though Gabrielle tried hard to hide her sadness from them.

“It’s not that big of a deal. I’m just worried about Westley. I feel weird because he left without a word,” Gabrielle blurted. She was worried.

Being concerned about one’s husband was nothing to be ashamed of. NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

“Don’t worry, Gabrielle. Your husband is a grown man. I’m sure he’ll be fine,” Rose reassured her. She had only met Westley once but the air of dominance around him impressed Rose.

In front of Westley, she felt an unparalleled sense of being little. Rose had never felt that way towards Bain. She could tell that Westley was a powerful and ruthless man. Having him as Gabrielle’s husband put Rose at ease “He is powerful, I guess. You’ll see when you go back home with us. Antawood is his turf. Staying here would be too dangerous.” Gabrielle’s voice trailed off. “Don’t be too worried. I’ve only

met him once but I know Westley isn’t an ordinary man. You should have more faith in him,” Rose whispered as she held Gabrielle’s hand in hers. Rose’s words made sense.

After all, Westley was Gabrielle’s husband. It was her sworn duty to believe in him. “You’re right. Thank you, Rose. I know he’ll come back safe and sound.” After their chat, Gabrielle returned to the kitchen to make lunch. She had planned on making four dishes and a soup. It was quite simple. However, the fact that it was cooked at home was comforting. Everything she made was delicious and looked sumptuous. “Lunch is ready. Come, let’s eat!” Gabrielle placed the soup on the table and called Rose and Doctor Maniac. Rose pushed Doctor Maniac’s wheelchair into the living room.

One of them had some gauze wrapped around her head. The other was sitting on his wheelchair with his injured legs. ‘These two are a perfect match,’ Gabrielle thought to herself. However, she did not dare utter a word about it. Gabrielle was terrified that Rose would beat her up for it. “Damn, Gabrielle. These look so delicious. I could tell just by looking at the dishes!” Rose praised. A shy smile adorned Gabrielle’s lips as she put a bowl of soup in front of them. “You should try it out first.” “Gabrielle… I’ve had a lot of delicious food in my lifetime. This is by far the best I’ve had!” Rose exclaimed right after she took a bite of Gabrielle’s food.
