Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 173 An Uncompromising Position

As soon as Gabrielle was done with the injection, her fever was brought down to the barest minimum. Although she didn’t wake up immediately, she was awake during dinner. She was very hungry, her head was heavy, and she felt very terrible all over her body.

This was the first feeling she had as soon as she woke up.

“You’re awake!” Westley exclaimed. He had been sitting on a chair beside the bed, with his laptop on his lap, trying to handle some business issues online since he couldn’t be in the company in person. As soon as he heard the ruffling of the bed sheets, he looked up from his laptop and saw that she was awake.

Gabrielle opened her eyes slowly and tried to sit up. When he saw what she was about to do, he quickly put down his computer and stood up to help her. He took a pillow and put it on her back so that she could rest her body well.

“Do you feel good?” Westley asked softly as he peered closely at her.

Gabrielle looked at him in disbelief when she noticed that he was the one beside lier.

She remembered faintly that it was Westley, who carried her down the mountain. Then she felt uncomfortable and fell asleep all the time. She couldn’t believe that he was willing to stay with her here all through this time. She kept looking at him in surprise.

“Are you kidding me right now? You don’t even recognize me?” Westley asked her with a sneer on his face. He mocked her with a silly look.

“Of course I know you. I don’t have brain damage. I’m just very surprised that you are here with me.” This was what she couldn’t believe at all.

“What? So you’re trying to say that you are disappointed to see me when you woke up, right? I’m sure that you were hoping to see Austin by your bedside when you woke up weren’t you?” Westley misinterpreted the meaning of her words

*That wasn’t what I meant. You’re just twisting my words. I was just surprised that you would be here with me, trying to watch over me.” Gabrielle was in a hurry to explain, but as soon as she spoke, she found out that it was utterly useless, because her husband only listened to what was in his mind. No matter how she explained, he might not listen to her. So she didn’t need to explain so much to him.

Whether he believed her was not important. He could do whatsoever he wished to

“You’re such an ungrateful woman. I know you’re surprised to see me. That only means that you would be happier if you had Austin, wouldn’t you?” Westley concluded abruptly. ?

She looked at him and couldn’t say anything else. She was at a loss for words. “When did I become an ungrateful woman all of a sudden?” she thought to herself.

She didn’t say anything wrong “How can this man be so narrow-minded?’ she thought again.

Her husband’s sudden anger made her even more confused. She just woke up and had no time to provoke him.

She felt wronged in her heart.

“I don’t want to quarrel with you right now, Westley. I’m not feeling too good at all,” she said to him with a frown. With a headache, Gabrielle felt sick and uncomfortable at that instant.

Besides, her fever had just gone down, and she didn’t even have the strength for any unnecessary quarrel with Westley.

“Why do you feel so uncomfortable as soon as you saw me? What’s wrong with you?” Westley wanted to continue teasing her, but he decided to stop when he saw her pale and uncomfortable face.

“I’m hungry and weak and I’m not in the mood for any sort of misunderstanding with you. Please don’t quarrel with me, okay? If you are bent on quarreling with me, we can do it tomorrow when I regain my strength. Thank you.” She looked at him pitiful, with a feeling of unfairness in her big black eyes.
