Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 8 This Woman

Gabrielle lay on the bed, sweating nervously. with a thermometer in hand, Remy Davis stood at the edge of the bed. He turned his head to look at Westley, who was standing with his arms crossed against his chest.

“She is running a high fever. Her temperature is thirty eight point eight degrees Celsius. I need to give her an injection to bring it down. – Westley nodded indifferently. Remy reached into his medical box and began preparing the injection.

While he pulled the solution into the syringe, he remarked, “Didn’t you get married yesterday. Westley? Can you think of why your new wife could have gotten a fever suddenly? Did you guys…” Remy halted, unsure if it was appropriate to address their sexual life 1

“No, I haven’t touched her. I am not hungry for random women. I don’t know how she got a fever. It’s her own business. She is anyway very clumsy and careless.” s Westley’s irritation could be seen clearly.

Remy pursed his lips and nodded. He didn’t understand why Westley would speak like that about his own wife, but he chose to remain silent.

Westley was his good friend. “They had known each other for many years. Remy knew how short tempered he was. If he really hated this woman, he would never marry her in the first place.

Westley. I understand that there is some tension between you two. If you really didn’t care for her, you didn’t have to call me here.”

Why couldn’t he just let her be?

“Remy. since when have you started indulging in such nonsense? I asked you to come here to check her. You will be the one to blame if she dies in het fever. She is any wife now. I called you out of duty.”

“I understand, Westley. I think you can get Nellie back soon, even if she has fled to space!

With that, Remy injected the syringe into Gabrielle’s arm. She took it quite well. Her eyes were closed. She did not stir, nor did she wince.
