Lock You In My Heart Chapter 577

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. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“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.

“That is a very logical assumption if you ask me. But without any solid and adequate evidence, much credence won’t be given to it. Therefore, this has to wait until Slater finds it out.” Westley’s prime suspect was the Collins family though.

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.

From her point of view, her daughters were regarded as nothing but tools merely used to get whatever she desired.

When Nellie became pregnant with Bryce’s child, she might count it as a great loss. Perhaps, it was the reason why she did everything possible to make the baby disappear.

Trust her to use whatever means. It didn’t matter if it was the height of sophistication or the most condescending trick.

If it turned out to be someone from the Collins family who was responsible for everything, then Gabrielle would feel lucky to have been brought up by the Jones. At least they weren’t capable of doing such a thing to her.

“Yes, we have got to find it out.” Gabrielle was noticeably worried. Who had the slightest idea that this was how she and Nellie would meet each other for the first time? fter waiting for about half an hour, the door of the operating room was pushed open and Remy walked out. “How is Nellie doing?” Gabrielle asked. 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 she was a bit unsettled. On hearing what he said, Gabrielle heaved a sigh of relief.

‘This is just awesome! The child is definitely a hard nut to crack. It will survive.’ “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. The effect could be seen in his eyes.

They were both darkened. ‘What on Earth was the maid thinking? There must be something really wrong with her,’ he thought. “Why did she go as far as drugging a pregnant woman? This is totally unacceptable!” Gabrielle became furious. She wished for an opportunity to attack the maid in order to beat her up. 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. What are you going to do, Westley?” Remy asked focusing his gaze on Westley.

“I will ask Slater to carry out an investigation. Whoever is behind this must be severely dealt with. Still, since they were able to buy off the maid, it is expected of them to know where Nellie has been. Hence, it is dangerous to continue to let her stay where she has been. We have to transfer her to a safe place. But release the news that the child is dead. But the truth should remain a secret between the doctors. Keep on handling the things pertaining to the hospital. I will find another place for Nellie as soon as possible,” Westley said decisively.

“Alright, that’s okay. I’ll take care of things here.” Remy understood exactly what Westley was about to do. So he agreed with him.

“I’ll go with Gabrielle. Do not hesitate to keep me abreast with anything that happens.” Westley held Gabrielle’s hand and was about to leave.

“Can I see how Nellie is doing?” Gabrielle looked at Westley and asked. “We can go immediately after that.”

‘It’s only right to check up on her now that I’m at the hospital,’ she thought to herself.

“She hasn’t woken up yet. Do you think it is really a good time to see her right now?” Westley asked, looking back at her.

“Maybe it isn’t the best time. But I want to see what she looks like. We are already here anyway, aren’t we? After all, she was your ex-fiancée. Courtesy demands that I should meet her,” Gabrielle talked in a naughty tone but she maintained a serious countenance.

“Did you just say ex-fiancée? You are my wife now! So go on with meeting anyone you want.” Westley was intrigued by her naughty tone. He reached out to rub her head.

‘What a uniquely enthralling woman! How can I possibly refuse her request when she looks so enchanting?’

he said in his mind. In a short while, Nellie was pushed into the ward from the operating room. Westley went with Gabrielle to see her. Nellie was lying down quietly in the ward. She looked very pale and tired, having suffered a great deal. “Gabrielle, you’ve seen her now, haven’t you? She is still fast asleep,” Westley said in a low tone while he glanced at Nellie. ‘

She is definitely not looking her best. I hope Nellie recovers really soon. Later, the dieticians will prepare very nutritious meals for her given the fact that she really needs to be properly taken care of.’ When the child was born, everything between him and the Collins family could be settled. From then on, he owed them nothing anymore. “Beauty runs in their blood. Nellie is really captivating. Her sister is also very charming. Indeed they are siblings.”

Gabrielle stared at Nellie’s fair and tender face in admiration. ‘Perhaps it was because of Nellie’s alluring physique that Bryce fell in love with her in the first place. He didn’t even mind offending Westley for her sake! It’s so amazing that men could go the extra mile for the women they love.’ “Gabrielle, does she also hold you spellbound?” Westley smiled resignedly when he heard her words. Hearing his wife praise another woman who happened to be his ex-fiancée made him speechless. “Yes, she is really a beauty to behold. Nellie possesses a small face and very delicate figures. Her skin is pristinely fair and tender.

The fact that men would easily fall for her does not surprise me. Even as a woman, I am attracted to her. It must be the reason why Bryce loves her so much,” Gabrielle retorted jokingly. “Don’t be ridiculous! We both know that Bryce chose Nellie instead of you out of sheer stupidity. I hope you

haven’t taken his choice to heart, right?” Westley asked her. He tried to hide his emotion. ‘Damn it! He is jealous again!’
