Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 220 You Are Not A Bane Hearing Westleyâs words, Gabrielle, who had just turned towards him, hurriedly turned back in the opposite direction before saying something.
âActually, I can pretty well do it myself Westley.â It took some time for Gabrielle to finally realize what he meant by rubbing her back. He was going to wash her back. Even the mere thought of him cleaning her back made her feel embarrassed and shy, For Gabrielle, this kind of stuff only happened between close relationships.
âGabrielle, Westley softly called her name when his desires decreased, noticing á bruise on her clear and white back. âDoes your back hurt?â The wound had splotches of blood oozing, but it was not bleeding. Gabrielleâs bruise made Westley feel shocked and concerned.
âMaybe she got her back scratched from the splinters of the old wooden headboard, or maybe from somewhere else.â âItâs a bit painful, but itâs nothing serious. Maybe I was hit when I was carried out of the car. So long as there is no big wound, it is fine.â Gabrielle didnât care about it.
skin, anywaxt the swee, It didnât mo This kind of skin trauma was never a big deal to her. It was only a little patch of skin, anyway, that got torn or bled slightly. After the swelling lessens, it would heal after scarring. It didnât matter a lot to Gabrielle at all.
âWhy are you asking? Vs y back wounded?â Not hearing A Word from Westley, Gabrielle felt kind of anxious.
âItâs bruised, although itâs not very serious. Iâll try my best to avoid it.â At that point Westley couldnât help admiring Gabrielleâs personality.
If it were another girl, she might have cried and made a scene for a small wound, let alone such sore injury. On the contrary, Gabrielle was indifferent to it.
âOnly after experiencing so many similar incidents could someone remain calm and imperturbable.â
Westley felt sorry for her, thinking that she must have suffered a lot before.
The closer he got to Gabrielle, the deeper he got to know the real her, and the more concerned he felt for her.
âItâs okay. Itâs just bruised,â Gabrielle hurriedly said because she was afraid, Westley would overthink.
Without uttering another word, Westley silently started rubbing her back.
He gently moved his hand, exertingjast the right amount of pressure.
Gabrielle didnât expect that Wrestley, an aloof manâs touch, could be so gentle and considerate. âDoes he also possess a gentle heart, despite his cold outer image?â .
âWestley, you have good skills. Did you often rub back? In just a split second, Gabrielle was filled with regret right after she asked that stupid question. Westleyâs hand stopped moving on her back âIt was my body and face that got hurt this time, not my head. Why did I ask Such an illogical question then? It is so foolish.â
However, Gabrielle asked it as she remembered the woman named Helena. Gabrielle thought of her as the woman that Westley loved so much. The new house in Half Moon Bay was built for Helena, Gabrielle didnât know where that woman had gone.
Therefore. Gabrielle presumed that Westley had done a lot for Helena that she didnât know and couldnât imagine.
âPlease, Westley, ignore it. Iâm so sorry. V shouldnât have asked such a stupid question.â Gabrielle shuffled in her place, feeling greatly embarrassed.
âIt indeed was a quite Stupid question.â Immediately after saying that. Westley stood up to leave.
Gabrielle thought that he became angry. So, she anxiously turned to look at him. âWestley. I...â
âDo you think Iâm a bath attendant?â Westleyâs face darkened, making him look quite unhappy. @
âA bath attendant?
Before Gabrielle could contemplate how to apologize, he had already left.
When Westley had left, only then did she realize what he meant. But, of course, she didnât take him as a bath attendant Gabrielle just thought that he might have bathed Helena before, so she simply asked. She was curious and a little jealous However, Gabrielle knew that possibly. he had never bathed Helena, Gabrielle saw herself as the first person whom he helped with rubbing her back.
âGabrielle, donât let the water get cold. Come out quickly.â Westleyâs voice came from the other room, and Gabrielle started hurrying away she quickly washed and dried her body and came out in a bathrobe. V Westley was quietly sitting on the sofa, answering the phone. Gabrielle didnât dare to disturb him and went straight to the fitting room to change clothes tamely.
When she came out, she saw Remy and Westley standing there together.
âDr. Davis, youâre here. Thank you for again coming to check my wound.â Gabrielle apologetically looked at Remy.
She could note that every time Remy showed up, he came to treat her wounds. Likely, in Remyâs mind, she became a fake doll that easily got sick or hurt. Gabrielle was too embarrassed to face Remy since she often got sick or injured, and heâd always come to deal with her injuries.
e ny felt âGabby, Iâm glad to treat your wound. Sit down and let me have a look, Reiry felt helpless. He knew that Gabrielle was really a disastrous woman. or perhaps she became more unfortunate after she married Westley.
really a dies knew that c Westley, unfocamerele was nate afterhaps âThank you, Dr. Remy.â Gabrielle sat on the sofa and looked at Remy with her red face.
After carefully examining her face, Remy found that her injury was not severe, except for the center of her cheek that was scratched with nails.
âIâll apply some ointment on it. It isnât severe this time.â Remy took a piece of ointment and began to apply it on Gabrielle slowly.
âTell me something, Gabby. Before you married Westley, your life in the Jones family was safe and sound, wasnât it?â 1 âExcuse me? What are you trying to imply. Remy?â Westley used a warning tone, clearly understanding what Remy meant. âThis man deserved a lesson.â
Every time Remy came here, he did something that seemed to alienate them âIs he tired of being a doctor and is interested in becoming a gossip reporter âNothing. I want to know if, just like now, Gabby got injured so easily before.â Remyâs skills had made him confident and bold. He had never been afraid of Westley, even daring to challenge him bravely.
From his words, Gabrielle knew what Remy meant âNe probably thinks that I became A Injury-prone after getting married to Westley.
And Westley was like my nemesis.â Although it was a little weird, Gabrielle wouldnât really believe it.
âRemy, I joined the Jones family and left the orphanage when I was two or three years old. Even then, I was weaker than normal children, and I was more likely to get injured and sick. So this has nothing to do with Westley. I guess the reason is that Iâm a bane. Why else would my biological parents abandon me, right? Gabrielle scoffed, taunting herself. a Every orphan, abandoned by their family, had such thoughts, Orphans considered themselves a bane abandoned by their families or an extra, unneeded child âOtherwise, why would they be abandoned in the first place?
Initially. Remy just wanted to tease Westley and make fun of him. But, he didnât expect that Gabrielle would become emotional, mentioning her life story.
oveMore âDonât think like that, Gabby. God gives every child to biÅ¡ parents in the face of an angel not a bane. Only the people who harm other people should be called a bane. How can you say youâre a bane when youâve never caused us any harm? After you married Westley. you didnât see how this poker-faced man got more and more smiles on his face. Even his projects are getting bigger. You are just like a lucky star to Westley who came into his life and brightened it up. Gabby.â
P Remy smiled, trying his best to praise her.
