Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 109 Caring Cousin The ambiance in the hospital was calm and Serene. The hospital walls, which were painted white were clean which gave the whole environment some sort of coziness. Gabrielle and Lance made their way to Sloaneâs ward. Outside the ward, two bodyguards were charged with the responsibility of watching her. When they recognized Gabrielle, they glared at her coldly.
âMiss Jones, Mr. Morris hasnât allowed you to visit her yet,â one of them spoke to her.
Her face turned red with anger. âHow can they prevent me from seeing ny best friend?â she thought to herself. She turned to look at Lance with embarrassment written all over her face. âIâm sorry, Lance. We wonât be able to see Sloane. She is still in a coma.â
âI donât understand why Westley is doing this to you. Is Sloane not your best friend? So whatâs the relationship between the both of them?â Lance asked as he contorted his face in a wide frown. Right from time, he didnât like Westley and the fact that he lorded over people made him hate him even more.
He coerced his cousin into marrying him and now, he even banned her from seeing her close friend. What else did he want from her? 10:17 âThis is just too much, Lance thought deeply as he shook his head in pity.
âDonât misunderstand me. Lance. Westley has nothing to do with her. He just doesnât want me to see her yet... Itâs nothing serious. Weâve had little misunderstandings in the last few days.â She still hadnât apologized to him yet. Besides, it seemed she offended him again last night unknowingly.
It was true that the last fight they had had not been settled yet, and now, a new one had taken over. With the way things were at the moment, it would be more difficult to see her friend âI donât understand your husband, Gabrielle. You both had a fight and he threatened you with Sloane? What kind of man is he?
How can he be so petty?â he asked angrily. Lance hated men who threatened women. He even treated them with contempt.
At that instance, Gabrielle saw that the two bodyguards looked at her cousin with resentment. She quickly tugged at his sleeve and urged him to stop speaking ill of Westley, âLance, stop. Itâs okay,â she tried to stop him from talking She was visibly worried that the two bodyguards would beat him up to protect Westleyâs honor. After all, he had spoken badly about their boss and they were to do their best to protect his reputation.
âYou know Iâm just saying the truth, Gabrielle. It would be better if they told him that marrying a wife is not for fun and intimidation. Youâre also a human being and he should respect you,â he said bluntly. He wasnât scared of the bodyguards or the tough front they had put up. They could tell Westley what he had said for all he cared.
He didnât mind fighting with them and it would be better if they complained to their boss. If he tried anything funny, he would teach Westley how to be a husband to his cousin face to face. âIf he doesnât know how to be a good husband or does not want to be good to her, he should just let her go!â he thought with annoyance.
âItâs lunchtime, Lance. Let me take you out for lunch, Gabrielle said as she quickly changed the topic. She didnât want them to dwell too much on her husband.
âOf course, Gabrielle.
What would you like to eat? Let me do the honors.â He smiled. He didnât want to face Westleyâs bodyguards anymore.
He hated everything related to this man called Westley and he did a very bad job of hiding it.
I want to eat beef noodles,â she answered unhappily Of course, Lance agreed. No matter what she wanted to eat, he was willing to accompany her.
âOkay, letâs go to your favorite restaurant. We can eat there. What do you say?â Gabrielle nodded affirmatively. He led her into the elevator.
âGabrielle, do you want to see Sloane?â Lance knew the relationship between Gabrielle and Sloane. Now that the latter was lying in bed in a coma, he knew that Gabrielle would always want to be by her side at all costs.
âYes, I do. If I didnât want to see her, I wouldnât have come here. But as you can see, with those two tall and strong bodyguards standing in front of the ward. I couldnât even see her at all.â She felt a little disappointed and downcast.
She couldnât even get close to the door to catch a glimpse of her. She didnât know what was going on with her. Sloane had been in al coma for so long, and still had no intention of waking up anytime soon.
âWait here for a minute, Gabrielle. Iâll talk to the bodyguards and ask you to come up later. Just stay here. Donât move.â Lance pushed her out of the elevator and went upatairs on the elevator again.
Gabrielle was still in shock when she wilis pashed out of the elevator. What was he going to do?
Her eyelids fluttered. She felt it was not a good thing, so she pressed the elevator frantically. Unfortunately, there was no elevator even after waiting for a long time, so she decided to climb the stairs directly. 1 When she got to Sloaneâs ward, she saw that Lance was standing alone at the door with a black electric shock stick in his hand.
âWhat are you doing. Lance? Where are the two bodyguards?â Gabrielle asked as she looked around worriedly.
âItâs settled, Gabrielle,â he said with a smile. âThey will leave for the time being, so you only have five minutes to see Sloane. Iâll stay outside and keep watch for you,â he said calmly Is he looked at her. 3 She was confused and wondered what had happened before she got here. âLance, where are they? Hope you havenât done something wrong?
âIt doesnât matter. Your time is ticking already: Just go inside and have a look at your friend, or you wonât have a chance to gee her later.â Lince pushed her into the ward quickly to stop her from asking him more questions Gabrielle didnât think too much. She thought that he might have convinced them to let her stay with Sloane for five minutes.
She hurried in and walked to Sloaneâs bedside. She saw that she was lying calmly on the bed with her eyes closed. She was still breathing with the aid of an oxygen mask.
âSloane, Iâm sorry. I know Iâm just coming to see you, but it wasnât my fault.
The three women who hurt you are still locked up. In the same manner, I wonât let Estelle go so easily. She would surely pay for what she did to you.
As for Benny, the bad man, you must not forgive him!â she said, shaking her head Vigorously as if Sloane could see her.
âAfter all, he is on the same side with Estelle. Heâs the root cause of all these.
Lousy Westley asked the bodyguards to guard you day and night and didnât allow me to come in to see you. But it doesnât matter. I still came in to see you today, but then, my mind can be at rest since the bodyguards are here, so that Benny wonât come in to disturb you.â She put her head down for a few seconds and prayed silently that her friend would get better soon.
Sloane, take good care of yourself and wake up early. I donât know when next I can come to see you.â
She stayed with her for five minutes and went out on time. Immediately she came out of the ward, her cousin quickly pulled her to the elevator.
âLance, hope youâve done nothing wrong.â she asked him again. She was quite inquisitive because of the way he behaved.
âI did nothing wrong, Gabrielle. I just communicated with them. Westleyâs bodyguards are much easier to talk to than him,â he said meaningfully. 3 She chose to believe what he said. By the way. in her impression, Lance was a gentleman all the time. Although he could fight, he had always been polite. He didnât take undule advantage of others.
âLetâs go. We can have your beef noodles now.â Lance was in a good mood now and this showed in the way she smiled from ear to ear.
He drove from the hospital to the beef noodle restaurant with a big smile on his face.
Seeing that he was in a good mood, she didnât bother saying anything more. When they entered the restaurant, she just ordered her favorite beef noodles and added some extra beef Lance ordered the same food she ordered for. After they had been served, he picked up the beef in his bowl and put them into Gabrielleâs bowl.
âLance, you donât have to give me out of your beef. I have specially ordered for one more dish of beef,â Gabrielle tried to refuse.
She felt embarrassed.
âDo you dislike the beef Iâm putting in your bowl, Gabrielle?â Lance knew she didnât mean it, so he said that on purpose.
She shook her head. âI didnât mean it that way. How can I dislike it? Since youâre giving me your beef, what will you eat?
âI know thatâs the question on your mind. Actually, I know you like the beef here, but I donât like it so much. I just want to eat the noodles,â he explained. He continued to refill her bowl with beef until there was no beef left in his Gabrielle felt very touched. âLance, you are so kind to me. Thank you,â she said with her eyes almost teary.
âDonât be a silly girl,â he said. âIf I donât treat. you well, who would I be kind to?â He looked at her and smiled with so much affection in his eyes.
She did her best to avoid his gaze. She lowered her head subconsciously to eat the beef sliced in her bowl. It was filled to the brim with beef and this made her so happy.
