Lock You In My Heart

Gabrielle felt the intensity of Westley’s anger and uneasiness while she held his hand tightly.

Gabrielle told him not to be perturbed. “Let’s just wait till Remy comes out.” Meanwhile, coaxing people was not one of her forte. Westley on the other hand was excellent with the use of sweet and gentle words.

It occurred to her that he was really being disturbed by the situation. So she did her best to pacify him.

“This is very disheartening! I have tried my very best to help save the life of Nellie’s child despite the odds not being in the baby’s favor. But do you really know what bothers me the most? Well, it is the fact that the crux of this matter remains whoever it is that turned the maid against Nellie. Why would he or she do such a thing to an unborn child?” Westley said calmly.

This made Gabrielle realize something almost immediately. ‘Nellie’s accident might not just be a simple one after all.’

“Westley, does this mean that the Collins family has found her? The Campbell Family has been protecting Nellie and they could not have taken her away, could they? Unless there is more to the matter than what meets the eye. Maybe they have been putting up an act,” she speculated. “However, I can’t say for sure. Notwithstanding, someone bought off the maid and if the child does not survive, Nellie would return to them on her own accord. How ruthless is this!” Gabrielle really felt irritated. To her, such cruelty was repulsive and must not be condoned.

Mrs. Collins was renowned for her greed and craziness. It wouldn’t be totally out of place to accuse the woman of such a thing.

Anxiety was evident in her voice. “Both the mother and baby are fine. But Nellie is very weak at the moment. She is still in a coma and will be transferred to the ward soon,” Remy replied. He could tell that

“Westley, your words are turning out to be true. It seems that Nellie has been taking sleeping pills. This can’t be considered as a simple accident of falling in the bathroom.” Remy explained to him. The news affected Westley.

But it was already too late. lthough anger was all to b e seen on her face, she did not stop listening. “Luck was on her side. The dosage was not excessive. So, she is expected to recover.
