Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 548

The atmosphere in the car was so heavy that Gabrielle felt suffocated. Of course, she knew how angry Westley must be feeling now. Yet, he had been holding back his anger, trying not to vent it on her.

Gabrielle understood why he was pissed. After all, she had rushed out recklessly to save the child while the bullets were flying all around. She almost got shot in the process after all.

However, he couldn’t even bear to scold her because he loved her so much.

“Westley, don’t be angry anymore. I won’t ask such stupid questions again or do such stupid things next time, alright? I promise I will cherish my life from now on so that we can be together for the rest of our lives.” Unable to endure the tension any longer, Gabrielle coaxed Westley with sweet words.

Of course, Westley obviously realized her intention, yet her sweet words worked on him.

He wrapped her hand in his and stroked it back and forth, finally letting out a long sigh. “Gabrielle, you promised to be with me for the rest of our lives. You can’t just break your promise. How should I get by if you leave me halfway? Do you think I can get by without you by my side?”

His voice was very low as he spoke out his thought, but the words were like needles stabbing directly into Gabrielle’s heart, making her almost instantly want to cry.

Her heart felt heavy and it made her aware of how important she was to him.

“Westley, I was wrong. I won’t do it again, okay?” She looked into his eyes and promised.

“You are obviously lying. Gabrielle, I know that you will still choose to save that child if anything like this happens again. Am I right?” Westley’s tone was still gentle as he pointed out. But it could be seen that he was trying his best to suppress his anger by his clenched jaw.

Gabrielle was about to answer what he wanted. However, she hesitated for a moment as she thought of that child sitting on a pile of broken glass just now, crying and screaming in pain. At last, she couldn’t bring herself to deny.

She thought that even if the time rotated back to that time, she would still choose to save the child.

“Westley, I…”

“Never mind. You don’t have to answer this question because I know your answer. ” Westley lowered his head and kissed her on the lips. Then, he retreated while sighing in distress.

How could he not know what his wife was thinking at the moment? He knew the best what kind of person his wife was. She was such a kind woman. There was no way she could just stand there and watch as a child was about to die in front of her eyes. El Even when she was fully aware that she might lose her life if she chose to save the child, she would unhesitatingly choose to do so.

“Westley, I’m sorry. I know there might be someone else to save that child, but it could be late and I can’t just turn a blind eye when there is something I can do. She is just a child of about four or five years old and has just begun to step into the world,” Gabrielle muttered helplessly while leaning into his arms. “Gabrielle, I don’t blame you. Call me selfish, but I just don’t want you to sacrifice yourself for saving others. The child maybe an angel in your eyes, but in my heart, you are my angel and there is no way I can live if you leave before me.” Westley admitted exhaustedly, patting her on the back.

“I know. I promise you that I will protect myself before saving others and I won’t be reckless again, okay? I will be with you until the end.” Gabrielle raised her head and promised seriously. She realized that she shouldn’t be so willful like before in the future since she had someone who cared about her so much now. “Gabrielle, you have no idea, but my heart almost stopped beating when I saw you rushing away like that just now. I can’t imagine how my life would be like if you disappear. Remember, I saved

your life once and you owe me for that. You can’t do such a dangerous thing again without my permission.

” Westley’s voice was soft, but his words were firm and demanding. Even though there was so much fire in his chest right now, how could he really be angry with her, let alone scold her? He would rather be angry to death alone. “I understand what you mean. I promise I won’t ever be reckless again.” Gabrielle’s heart immediately softened as she listened to his gentle and soothing voice. She obediently lay in his arms and didn’t want to move at all. How she wished they could stay like this forever without any danger or problem. “Do your knees hurt very much? Just a moment and we’ll arrive at the hospital soon.

” Westley patted her back gently. “I’m okay. It doesn’t hurt.” Gabrielle shook her head slightly against his torso. Her knees felt painful at first, but t hey just felt numb now. She guessed that it was probably because she was lying in Westley’s embrace. For her, as long as the misunderstandings and the resentment between them were cleared up, her injury was nothing. When they arrived at the hospital, Westley carried her out of the car carefully.

This hospital was the nearest one to the Royal Hotel, so all the wounded patients in the incident just now were sent here.

Gabrielle’s wound was not very serious as it was just injuries left on her knees when she was saving that child. Two pieces of glasses were stabbed into the skin of her knees.

The doctor plucked the glasses out and bound up the wound.

“Doctor, how is my wife’s injury?” Westley had been standing aside and watching as the doctor treated Gabrielle’s wound. He was so worried that he didn’t dare to let out a sound in case he interrupted the treatment.

Only when the wound had been treated, he let out a breath and asked.

“Sir, your wife’s injury is not too serious. It’s just some scratches. Apply medicine on it regularly and it will be healed in a few days,” the doctor instructed calmly.

“Thank you, doctor. I’ll take my wife home now.” Westley heaved a sigh of relief and prepared to take Gabrielle back to the villa.

He instructed Slater to take care of the formal procedure here before they went back to the villa. It was too noisy here and the atmosphere was suffocating, so he didn’t want Gabrielle to stay here any longer.

“Westley, before we leave, I want to go to the emergency room first. The child and Nathan Sanderson…you know, the man who took the bullet for me, should be there right now. I want to see how they are doing,” Gabrielle said as she looked at Westley seriously.

“Wait, the man who took the bullet for you is called Nathan Sanderson?” Westley’s eyes darkened the moment that name was mentioned.

Seeing his suspicious expression, Gabrielle looked at him uneasily, asking, “Westley, what’s wrong? Do you know Nathan?”

After a pause, Westley quickly calmed down as he shook his head and responded, “No, I don’t know him. But now, I do. After all, he saved you. Even though he personally didn’t know him, he knew that the other man was a member of the Sanderson Family in Ensfield. He was the second son of the Sanderson Family and managed the jewelry business. YZ Jewelry, which he ran, was a large jewelry agency in the country. However, Nathan and Victor who was Nathan’s older brother, had been competing with each other since long ago. They could be said to be enemies, but Westley didn’t know how bad the relationship between those two was.

Nevertheless, he felt somewhat strange about how the more he wanted to stay away from the Sanderson Family, the more encounters he had with them. Gabrielle had just saved Victor, but now, Nathan ended up saving Gabrielle’s life. Maybe, this was all really fate. Even though if it was just

coincidence or not, everything would have to wait until Nathan woke up. He didn’t even know whether he would survive or not. Nonetheless, if he died, Gabrielle would owe the Sanderson Family a life, which was hard to repay. ‘Well, what is to come would come,’ Westley thought.

He would have to deal with it no matter what the outcome was. However, he still couldn’t shake off this strange feeling. In such a short time, Gabrielle saved a Sanderson and then was saved by another Sanderson. “Mr. Sanderson saved my life. If he hadn’t covered me, I would have been shot.” Gabrielle’s heart was still fluttering with fear as she thought about the scene from earlier. She was not worried about it at that time as it was in the heat of moment, but when she recalled it now, she felt so scared that her whole body trembled. She had been on the edge of life and death.

“Don’t think about it anymore. You are safe and you are destined to be with me forever. You won’t leave my side.” Westley held her in his arms and comforted her in a low voice. Even though it appeared as though he was comforting her, he was actually comforting himself as well. God knew how scared he felt at the thought of losing her.

“I just hope Mr. Sanderson could survive. Otherwise, I would blame myself for the rest of my life.” Gabrielle couldn’t help but let out a shaky breath. “He will. Don’t worry too much.” Westley comforted her gently, not knowing what else to say at this chaotic moment. “By the way, I just noticed that both Nathan and Victor are from Ensfield. What’s more, their last names are the same, too. What is the relationship between the two of them? Are they brothers?” Gabrielle asked curiously as she raised her head to look at Westley in the eye.
