Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 50 Sloane Was Bleeding

Westley drove back to the restaurant and found Gabrielle squatting on the roadside five hundred meters away from the intersection. Her helpless and pitiful disposition made her look like an abandoned child.

The moment she heard Westley’s car come to a screeching halt in front of her, Gabrielle looked up. She was relieved to see Westley somehow. She tried to get up and open the door but sat back immediately. Her feet were numb and could barely move.

Seeing how weak and debilitated she was, Westley pushed the door open, got out of the car, and walked up to her.

“Since when did you become so weak, Gabrielle?” he asked. His words were dripping with sarcasm, of course.

“L..I just sprained my ankle, so I had to sit down. And my legs have gone numb after sitting for such a long time,” Gabrielle replied, faintly. She looked up at Westley with red eyes. It was clear as day that she had been crying

Westley was still angry with her, but when he saw how vulnerable and pale she looked, he cooled down. What was it about women that bothered him so much?

He bent down and took her in his arms

“Oh! You don’t have to carry me, Westley It’s only a slight sprain. It’s not that senous… ” Gabrielle reasoned.

She wasn’t used to being cared for by Westley like this. She would rather he treated her with indifference like any other day.

“Shut up.” snapped Westley. “Stop wasting my time and lean on me. The rest of us haven’t been sitting idle like you. We have places to be… Things to do!” Westley threw her unceremoniously into the passenger seat and returned to the driver’s seat, after flashing her a cold glance. 1

Gabrielle fastened her seatbelt quietly. knowing all too well that Westley was right. He took time out of his busy schedule to come back and pick her up, after all. He didn’t have to do that. She thought it best to not argue anymore.

“I need to go to the Brilliance Hotel, Westley.” she said, with urgency. “Please get is there as soon as you can. And, thanks… for everything.” She blushed sheepishly as she added that last sentence. Gabrielle took out her phone and frantically dialed Sloane several times, but there was no answer. This upset Gabrielle and made her even more anxious than she already was.
