Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 112 She Cut Her Hand Gabrielle was changing her clothes when she received a call from Lance. She rushed her pace before grabbing her phone and answered in a hurry.
âLance, whatâs wrong?â she asked.
âGabrielle, is Westley at home? Did he do anything to you?â Lance asked, his tone was urgent and full of concern.
Gabrielle smiled slightly hearing his tone. She felt both sorrowful and thankful that there was someone worrying about her.
âLance, Westley hasnât come back home yet, but he is not as terrible as you think. You can be assured that he wonât do anything to me.â
In fact, these words were solely for Lance not to worry about her. After all, she was the only person who knew Westley well and how terrible he could be.
âReally? He wonât do anything to you?â Lance asked, a hint of doubt was evident in his voice. He found it hard to believe Gabrielleâs words since judging from Westleyâs words on the phone, the man was really angry and Lance knew that he wouldnât let Gabrielle get away easily.
After all, he brutally abused the two bodyguards. He quickly snatched the electric baton from one of them and severely knocked out both of them with it.
As for their failure, the bodyguards might have underestimated Lance thinking a rich person like him wouldnât have any skills compared to the sturdy ones like them. However, they were wrong as they got defeated. They must have gotten the lesson by now that the more gentle and harmless one looked, the more skillful he could be.
Lance cleverly used this psychological fact to defeat them and that was how he managed to take the electric baton from the bodyguard so effortlessly.
âWestley wonât do anything to me. After all, Iâm only a woman. No matter how terrible he is, he wouldnât hurt a woman.â Gabrielle tried to explain, comforting herself at the same time.
However, although Westley didnât beat a woman directly, he had thousands of ways to torture a woman. He used the harshest words that could stab oneâs heart repeatedly and he could also torment her in bed with many methods until she couldnât endure anymore.
At the thought of this, Gabrielleâs legs and feet instantly became weak. She thought that Westley really deserved his mighty figure. He was a domineering man in his clothes, but a beast out of his clothes. The man was no less than a monster if he decided to give someone a hard time.
â Then, Iâm relieved.â Lance immediately sighed with relief, before continuing, âGabrielle, if he really dares to bully you, just tell me. Iâll help you teach him a lesson properly.â Lance was being serious; his voice carried a hint of chilling murderous tone as if Gabrielle.
Gabrielle was tired of everything, She didnât want to drag innocent people into her problems anymore, especially Lance, who wanted to protect her at all costs, because she was aware that anyone who offended Westley would have a bad ending. She was sincerely afraid that Lance would get hurt because of her. âLance, listen to me. It would be the best if you donât interfere in my life anymore.â 1 âGabrielle, 1...â
âLance, I know that you are good to me, but itâs a matter between me and Westley. If you get involved too much, it wonât help me but you will make him angrier instead. Itâs already quite troublesome with the Jones family. I donât want to get the Carter family involved in this as well, okay?â Gabrielle begged softly.
Lanceâs heart softened all of a sudden. He had never been able to refuse any of Gabrielleâs requests. He was also aware of himself that she was his absolute weakness.
Alright, I promise you that I wonât meddle in the affairs between you two. But Gabrielle, if you take the initiative to tell me, I must meddle in it to help you. It doesnât matter if Carter family gets involved, â Lance said in a stern voice, his tone determined.
She knew that it was the responsibility she couldnât take if Carter family got involved in her affairs. Despite Lance being the successor of Carter family. Wendy would never let Carter family and Lance be implicated by Gabrielle in any way. She absolutely couldnât afford to offend Carter family in her current state where she had a handful of problems already.
âI know, Lance. Donât mention the matter of beating bodyguards today, and donât provoke Westley,â Gabrielle couldnât help reminding him. She knew that it was the time to be cautious about everything Today. when Lance took the initiative to provoke Westley on the phone, it really scared Gabrielle.
âLance is truly bold. Isnât he afraid that Westley would kill him?â Gabrielle thought.
âDonât worry, Gabrielle. I donât like to make trouble, Lance replied in a gentle tone, the soothing voice he deliberately used to comfort Gabrielle.
Gabrielle smiled softly. âLance, if there is nothing else, I have to hang up.â 2 âGabrielle, donât let yourself be wronged.â This was the only thing that Lance could tell her, for now.
If possible, he wanted to take Gabrielle away from Westley. He didnât deserve her anyway. 1 âOkay, bye.â Gabrielle hung up the phone directly.
Suddenly, she thought of what Macy had told her about the retribution Mr. Smith received. Her curiosity rose and she wanted to confirm it. So, she opened the campus website and found that there was indeed a notice of penalty for Mr. Smith.
Mr. Smith had been expelled from the school, and the girls who had been hurt by him were found and asked to cooperate in testifying together in court. In that case, he would be seriously sentenced. 3 Gabrielle didnât feel any sympathy for Mr. Smith. He deserved it If it werenât for Westley, this old lecher would have gotten away with everything he had done without receiving karma and hurt more girls.
Somehow, she felt that Westley had really done a good thing this time.
After playing with her phone for a while, she checked the time and found that it was time to go downstairs to clean up the ingredients and prepare the meal.
When she arrived at the kitchen, Sophie was already waiting for her there. She had put the ingredients she brought back on the table neatly. When she saw Gabrielle come in, she immediately smiled with delight.
âGabrielle, you came downstairs so early. In fact, if you are tired, you can have a rest in the room. Iâll clean the ingredients beforehand and you can cook them.â Seeing Gabrielleâs weary appearance, Sophie knew that she was not in a good mood. She was worried about her so, she offered her help.
âSophie, Iâm fine. Iâll handle it myself. You can go out and have a rest first.â Gabrielle politely rejected the older womanâs help. In fact, Gabrielle didnât like to be disturbed when she was cooking by herself. She found pleasure and tranquility in cooking alone quietly.
She used to cook for Sloane in her apartment. Sloane knew her very well so, when she cooked, Sloane would obediently leave the kitchen and leave her alone in her own world.
In that case, she could use her ability fully without any distraction âGabrielle, let me work here as a helper for you,â Sophie requested. Taking a look at the food on the table, Sophie found that it was enough for four dishes. It was a little bit of a work for Gabrielle to cook alone.
â Sophie, itâs really okay. If you help me here, I wouldnât be able to do well,â Gabrielle rejected again softly. She didnât want to hurt Sophieâs kindness. After all, she had been with her in Half Moon Bay these days and treated her as her daughter âOkay, I see. Then, Gabrielle, you can stay in the kitchen and do your own work. If you need anything, you can always call me.
Iâll be in the yard to water the flowers and plants.â Knowing what Gabrielle meant, Sophie left the kitchen.
The flower shop had sent the flowers they ordered this morning, and the workers were asked to help them plant the flowers. So, it mnade Sophie feel much more relaxed since she didnât have to plant the flower seeds by herself, which saved a lot of time and trouble.
After Sophie went out, Gabrielle began to wash Vegetables alone in the kitchen.
She was not familiar with the kitchen, especially in cutting vegetables with a knife Sure enough, while cutting them, she accidentally scraped her hand. It was not a big cut, but a few blood beads came out immediately. Gabrielle rushed over, and pulled a few pieces of tissue to wipe it. After she pressed it for a while, it stopped bleeding.
Gabrielle looked at the wound and made sure it was not bleeding anymore. Then, she took off the tissue and continued to chop vegetables.
Despite being careful again and again, she still got two or three wounds. Yet, she didnât bother to stop at all and at the last attempt, she cut her little finger a bit seriously. Blood flowed and the knife fell to the ground with a clang. 13
