Lock You In My Heart novel 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.

"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?

After 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.

Although anger was all to b

e seen on her face, she did not stop listening.

"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!'
