Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 487

"Gabrielle, I know you're awake. You can hear me, right?

Everything's fine now, Gabrielle. We made it out alive with only a few injuries.

I know you're exhausted and you want to sleep longer, so I'll wait for you."

Gabrielle was in deep sleep. She kept hearing voices inside her head, but couldn't tell clearly. In her heart, she knew who it was.

'Westley... you promised you wouldn't abandon me...So please don't...

"Gabrielle, we swore not to abandon each other forever. We're both safe now, it's going to be okay.

We're finally outside the forest now. When you wake up, let's go back to Antawood immediately, okay?

You'll love the scenery here, Gabrielle. It's so beautiful."

Both of them got carried away by the strong current after jumping down the waterfall. Luckily, they were discovered by the men of the Campbell Family who had been waiting outside. They were rescued and taken to the farm. Their people had already guarded the entire area, so it would be safe for both of them.

Even if the farm was close to the forest, Bain's men wouldn't dare to come out and mess with them.

Gabrielle finally woke up after a few days. She blinked slowly and looked around. The walls were strange and the room seemed old.

"Hmm..."

"Gabrielle, you're finally awake!" Westley had just come out of the bathroom and was shocked to see Gabrielle regain her consciousness. He had been staying by her side all the time.

"Westley...it's you. Where am I?" Gabrielle asked, her voice hoarse.

"We got out safely. How are you feeling?" Westley sat on the edge of the bed and placed his hand on top of hers.

She tried to move but felt pain all over her body.

After all, her wounds did not fully heal yet.

Gabrielle was injured shortly after jumping into the rapids. She felt numb in the icy cold water that when she was struggling in the water that she couldn't feel a thing. But now, it wore off. People would mostly feel the pain from the injuries after waking up.

"We... we escaped. We didn't die. We're still alive... I'm so relieved..." Ow! It hurts... "

Gabrielle yelped, feeling a sharp pain.

As long as the two of them were alive, everything was worth it. The bleeding and injuries were nothing because they had freedom now. A new life was waiting for them.

"I know it hurts, but hang in there, sweetheart." Westley wiped her forehead. "Remy, come quickly! Gabrielle's awake."

A few moments later, Remy came in. Westley had made things difficult for him because of her, but he felt relieved after seeing Gabrielle had woken up.

"Gabrielle, you're finally awake. If you didn't wake up soon, Westley would have tortured me to death." Remy approached them, cracking a joke.

"Re...Remy..."

"Don't push yourself too hard, Gabrielle. You just woke up. Try not to exert yourself too much. Your wounds might open again." Remy reminded her.

"Westley, get some warm water for Gabrielle. It'll make her feel better," Remy suggested.

"Right." Westley poured some water onto the cup and helped Gabrielle take a sip.

He had already prepared it yesterday just in case she woke up.

"Does your whole body ache, Gabrielle?" Remy asked.

"Yes."

"It's normal. You've been battered a lot. You also got some serious injury at the back of your head and your waist. Even though the water cushioned your fall, you still got hit by rocks and stones. Luckily, you survived all that. Do you remember?" Remy gently talked about Gabrielle's condition so she could feel more at ease.

"Yes, I remember."

"Great, your memory's intact. After a day or two, we can go to a hospital in Bangkok for a thorough check-up, and then return to Antawood," Remy explained.

"Gabrielle's having a hard time. Can you prescribe some painkillers for her? I don't want to see her suffering like this." Westley couldn't ignore it. Gabrielle's brows were twisting and her face was full of discomfort. Westley felt so sorry for her.

"I'll give her some painkillers, but they'll only help for a short while. She needs to go through the normal healing process, which will take time. Of course, we also have to clean her wounds regularly and apply medication. I admit it can be uncomfortable at times." Remy had to tell them first.

"It's okay. It's just for a short while..." Westley knew that the process of natural healing was painful and long and he didn't want Gabrielle to bear with it.

"I'll go get the medicine first. Let Gabrielle rest," Remy replied.

The painkillers would make her feel better. Westley wouldn't be able to bear seeing Gabrielle in pain.

She was such a healthy girl, but now she was lying in bed, covered in bruises. Westley thought he might be a curse to her. After marrying him, Gabrielle would always end up in trouble.

"Then, hurry up and get the painkillers," Westley urged.

Remy rushed to get the medicine and came back fast. He handed the pills to Westley and let him help Gabrielle take it.

Thankfully, her pain decreased over the last ten minutes. Although she could still feel the ache, it was better than before.

"Gabrielle, how do you feel now?" Westley asked in a concerned tone.

"Much better. But your wounds... Are you okay? Is it serious?" Gabrielle felt uneasy after seeing the wounds on Westley's face and body. He was covered in bandages around the head, shoulders, and abdomen. It was clear he was hurt pretty bad.

"Don't worry about me, they're all scratches. My injuries are less serious than yours. I was able to wake up the day we escaped but you slept for three days and four nights. I was scared to death that you weren't going to wake up. But here we are, still alive and safe from harm." Westley looked at her and smiled.

There was no need for them to worry about it.

If Lance wasn't confident in his ability, he wouldn't boldly come to the forest unannounced. If he didn't have any plans up his sleeve, he only put himself at risk.

"How are they going to escape there, Westley?" It was impossible for Gabrielle not to care.

"Gabrielle, you don't seem to know how influential Lance is in Thailand. You shouldn't underestimate him. Trust me, he's completely safe without you," Westley calmly explained to her.

"Really?" Gabrielle was still anxious. Lance was her cousin, after all. Bain wanted to kill her. She thought he might come for him because she had escaped.

"Of course, Gabrielle. I would never lie to you. Lance is more capable than you think," Westley said in a serious tone.

"When have you ever told me the truth?" Gabrielle's eyes squinted as she stared at him.

"I can tell you about what happened between me and Bryce." Westley already knew what Gabrielle wanted to know. It would be about Bryce's injuries and that he locked Bryce up.

"Tell me everything." Gabrielle felt the banging in her chest. It was getting louder and faster.

"I will explain everything to you, just not now. I'll wait until you recover a little. It would be better to not exert yourself and control your emotions. We don't want your wounds to open up." Westley held her hand tightly.

He was right. She shouldn't be too emotional or else it would just worsen her injuries.

"Westley, I hope you won't lie to me anymore," Gabrielle pleaded.

"I won't lie to you, I promise. I will tell you everything you want to know, but you have to get plenty of rest for now, okay? When you've rested enough, then we'll talk." Westley looked serious.

"Where's my phone?" Gabrielle asked.

"It's broken. I'll buy you a new one when we get home. You can use mine for the time being." Westley handed her the phone.

When the two of them jumped down from the waterfall, all the things in their backpacks had been soaked in water. Sticks and stones underneath did further damage.

Westley's phone was brand new. He asked his men to get him a new one and sent it to him after they settled in the village.

"Please help me contact Jason and tell him about my current situation. The training class will begin in a few days and I don't want to miss it." Gabrielle didn't borrow the phone for entertainment, she wanted to reach out to Jason.

She had never contacted him at least once after she arrived in Bangkok. She could easily ask the company for a leave, but she didn't want to miss the training class.

"I have contacted him for you in advance. No matter how much I dislike the guy, he's still your boss. I already informed him about what happened to you in Bangkok and he said he'll help you out regarding the training class. You just need to get your strength back and go home with me." Westley knew how important the training class was for Gabrielle. The lecturer was one of the most famous designers she admired. It was a once-in-a-lifetime chance for her, so she wanted to grab the opportunity.

"Has the class started?" Gabrielle asked anxiously.

"No. It hasn't been decided yet. Jason will contact me right away once they got a date." Gabrielle looked forward to the training class and Westley knew how important it was for her. He went and begged Jason for an extension.

"Did you talk to Jason personally?" Gabrielle was stressing over it. After all, the training class was a big event for her. She wished she could go back to Antawood right now.
