Lock You In My Heart By B. MADRON Chapter 287
Lock You In My Heart
Chapter 287 Her Back Is Bleeding Staying happy for long wasnât written for Gabrielle, probably. Because, the moment she turned around to leave with Mail, they both saw the most adverse omen coming down the stairs. They stopped in their tracks, stunned at the person who met their eyes.
Emily also recognized them, clearly not expecting to see them in the shopping mall that day. She could still remember their fight in the restaurant.
To say the least, after recognizing her, Mia wasnât the slightest happy âFuck!â Mia almost snarled. Do I really have to meet Emily, turning around the corners?
Mia eased her expressions a bit, but the cold and killing frown never left her face. Emily was Mollyâs cousin, and they both were, without a doubt, bitchy and cruel.
âWhat brings you here, Emily?â
Molly asked in the softest tone she could USC.
As if waiting to encounter them. Emily Wis already standing in front of them, E11grly glaring at Gabrielle. âWell, I came here to buy something, Molly. I just Silw you, so i thought, why not sily hello. How do you know her?â
With a nod of her head, Emily gestured towards Gabrielle, inquiring Molly about her.
Emilyâs resentment wasnât going away easily. She was expelled from university. dropping all the blame on Gabrielle. When she had to go to another university in another city, she was forced to separate from Jax, as they werenât in the same city anymore.
Her grudge against Gabrielle hadnât been satisfied yet. And today was her chance to pay Gabrielle back for all that sheâd done.
âL.. am not familiar with them. Miss Robinson is your cousin-in-lawâs...â
âEmily. Iâm your cousin-in-lawâs ex girlfriend and also your cousinâs senior.â
Mia staad forward. âWell, I heard that you were expelled from the Alonth Universityâ Mia raised her brows. âWe met today after you were expelled 90... Congratulations!â Mia clipped her hands right in front of Enilyâs face If she could, Emily would have torn the world apart on the humiliation Mia was making her feel. She was pissed to her limits, just waiting for the final blow to blast her anger out. To put it together, Mia was visibly testing Emilyâs limits. After all, who would want to get applauded for being expelled?
âI havenât gotten even with you, Gabrielle. What kind of filthy trick did you play behind my back to get us suspended?â Emilyâs eyes were blazing with anger For sure, Gabrielle knew the reason for Emilyâs suspension. It was Westley who did it. He was able to fire the dean with a snap of his fingers. So, suspending some students was a piece of cake for him.
Westley was a shareholder now in the university, making him the prince charming for the university. He was like an idol to fans, getting surrounded by them wherever he went. This was Westleyâs position, the son his demands were fulfilled within a blink.
Gabrielle tucked her hair behind her ear, pretending to be innocent. âWhat do you mean by that? Donât you think itâs you who should know why you were expelled?â Gabrielleâs tone had an un varying calerness in it as she facilely masked Westleyâs deeds.
Firstly. she wouldnât accept that Westley did it. Secondly, Gabrielle couldnât let others know about her bond with Westley.
âThese people donât deserve to know.â
âWhat are you being ignorant about, huh? How can you possibly think that I canât find any evidence? When...â
A smile appeared on Gabrielleâs lips as she cut Emilyâs sentence. âTalk to me after you find any evidence. Till then, donât even dare to wrong me. I believe Alorith Universityâs decision must be fair and just. They are not so stupid to expel you without a reason.â Finally, Gabrielle became serious as she continued. âInstead of arguing with me, youâd better go to the universityâs office and find the answers you are seeking.â
âOh, to increase your knowledge, Gabrielle. I did go there. And they said that someone asked them to expel us. We werenât told who did it, but I am pretty sure you had a hand behind all of this shit.â Emily gritted her teeth while clenching her fists.
Gabrielle was quite bored by Emilyâs relentless accusations. âI will wait for you to bring the evidence then, Emily. Without it, stop talking nonsense and stop making a scene. Plus, I am just an adopted daughter of the Jones family. How can you possibly expect me to make you get suspended from the university? I hope you have a brain big enough to thirik about it.â It was rare for Gabrielle to argue with others like this, but still, she wanted to keep Emily in her place.
Emilyâs attitude was making her burn in anger.
âShut up whore! No one knows your intentions. And...â A dry chuckle left Emilyâs lips. âBeing a powerless adopted daughter of the Jones family, who knows how many nasty tricks did you learn? Maybe...
âStop talking shit, Emily! I dare you to start TUMDES About Gabrielle again. Otherwise youâll be shredded by me. I will make sure the last person youâd want to offend in the Antawood... is me.â Mia had been silent through their conversation, but the more she heard Emilyâs remorseless words, the more she burned in rage. If looks could kill, Emily would have been dead by now.
âShe freaking has the most contemptible mniouth.â Clenching her fists, Mia Was ready to strike her knuckles along Emilyâs high cheekbone.
But Gabrielle held her hand back.
âMia, weâre in a public place.â Gabrielle threw a sharp glare at Emily before looking back at Mia, âAfter all, we canât argue with a mad dog, neither can we bite it back. So, let her be. If you still want to buy a watch, then okay. Otherwise, letâs head back.â
Gabrielleâs mood was ruined. She felt emotionally tired, wanting to go back home.
âYouâre right. Indeed, we canât fight a mad dog. God! She just turned it out as a bad day for us! Yeah, letâs head back.â Gently tugging at Gabrielleâs hand, Mia turned to leave.
when Emily figured out that she was being called a mad dog by the both of them, she couldnât contain the ferocity she had been holding back anymore âYou called me a mad dog. huh?! Let me show you what it means then.â Emily. throwing all the remaining morals that she had at bry, swung her handbag and threw it towards Mia and Gabrielle, whose backs were facing her.
She had a black handbag. inlaid with rivets. It could kill people if she struck them with it repeatedly. It was a freaking weapon.
On top of that, Gabrielle was wearing a long dress with thin knitwear. So, her clothes stood to be too thin to bear the rivets of the bag and save Gabrielleâs back As soon as the unexpected blow hit Gabrielleâs back, she fell forward with the impact. The pain was too much to bear as the blood oozed out and stained her beige knitwear It wasnât until Gabrielle curled over with pain that Mia understood what just happened. Her colors drained out as she saw Gabrielle with blood staining her dress. She almost freaked out âWhat the fuck, Ertuly?!â
âGabrielle is the real bitch. And today is her last day.â Emily swing her bag again, but this time, Mia got her senses back. Without delay. Mia reached out her hand to protect Gabrielle a âMia!â
Suddenly. Cayden came over, knocking Emily to the ground. But to his dismay. the bag still struck Miaâs arm. Even her leather jacket couldnât lessen the intensity of the blow. Mia frowned in pain, clenching her arm with the hand of the other arm tightly.
âMia! Are you okay?â
âIâm fine. Iâm fine. Check Gabrielle first. Her back is bleeding. Letâs take her to the hospital, quickly.â Mia was homfied when she saw the blood, urging Cayden to help her.
The pain was so much that Gabrielle almost fainted with the blow. Still, subconsciously, she reached her hand out and touched her aching back. When she drew her fingers back, they were covered in bright and red blood, the sight of which was quite terrible..
âCayden, pick Gabrielle up.â Mia was beyond anxious as she asked Cayden to hold Gabrielle.
What Cavden cared about wäs Miaâs Nİ, but the bleeding back of Gabrielle diverted his attention. After all, Mia was still on her feet, while Gabrielle was not. So, he picked her up and walked outside as quickly as he could.
âGabrielle hold on a little longer.â Gabrielleâs flicking eyelids stressed Mia even more.
âIt hurts, Mia.â
âDonât be afraid. Weâre taking you to the hospital. Cayden, hurry.â âMia, donât leave my gift.â Gabrielle was still holding on when she was sweating due to the pain i Even if it wasnât something costly or precious, Gabrielle didnât want to lose the first-ever gift she bought for Westley. To her, it was more than just valuable, âAre you muts, Gabby! You are injured so badly, and youâre still worrying about your gift?!â Mia had an urge to rub her temples, but she resisted, taking in a deep breath. âI put the gift into your bay. Now, donât sily anything. Hold on. We will reach the hospital soon.â
âIâm fine, Mia. Itâs probably not that bad. Itâs just a little bit painful.â Gabrielle forced a smile to reassure Mia.
But her bleeding back didnât let her keep on lying. The pain made her grimace.
âStop talking.â Mia hushed Gabrielle, watching her face turn pale.
âOkay.â And Saying a silent okay, Gabrielle passed out in Caydenâs arms.
