Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 552

The hospital was located at nearly an hour’s drive from the villa. Gabrielle was taken back by Westley that night. He did it without telling Rose and others about their return.

The robbery in Royal Hotel was a shocking incident. And due to the high profile guests who came there, instantly the news was sensationalized on many television channels. Most of the countries reported this matter, apart from Thailand.

Rose had read the news about the incident, so she was extremely worried about Gabrielle.

Gabrielle and Westley rested for the night. The very next day they went to see Rose. After meeting her, they planned to go to the hospital.

They had to go and see Melissa, Nathan and the child, who were still in the hospital. Gabrielle was quite worried about them.

“Gabrielle!” Rose exclaimed on seeing her. “I saw the news about the jewelry robbery in the Royal Hotel. I’m so relieved to see you safe.” Seeing and knowing that Gabrielle was unhurt, Rose felt like a burden had been lifted off her. It was a relief to see her.

“I’m fine. There’s just a bruise. We came back last night, but it was too late. We didn’t feel it was right to disturb you so we didn’t visit at night. Now I am here to show you and Doctor Maniac that I’m fine!” Gabrielle said with a serious look on her face.

“Oh Gabrielle! You have no idea, how relieved I am to see that you’re all right. There are so many victims this time. I was really frightened when I saw the news.” Indeed, Rose was very worried about them and was getting anxious.

But now that she had met them, she was happy. She relaxed and felt comforted on seeing Gabrielle and Westley.

“Honestly, Rose! We’re fine. Now you have a good rest today. We’ll leave now. We’ve got to go to the hospital too.” Gabrielle and Westley had already planned to go to the hospital. She didn’t want to tell it to Rose, but ended up blurting it out before her.

“What? Why? Gabrielle, just now you said you’re not hurt. Then, why are you going to the hospital? Is your wound…”

“No…No! I’m absolutely fine. It’s just that one of my teachers got injured and is in the hospital. I have to go and visit her.” Gabrielle tried to wriggle herself out of the situation.

“Oh! Okay. Go on then. If you go early, you can come back early!” Rose suggested to her. “Right! Okay then. We’ll leave now. You take care!” Gabrielle and Westley left and drove away. On arriving at the hospital, they came to know that the child and Nathan were still in a coma. Although Melissa had woken up, she was still in a critical condition as she had been in a coma since she entered the ward. Besides, she was being taken care of by the people of the Walker family.

So Gabrielle and Westley felt it was better if they didn’t disturb her. Days slowly passed. Gabrielle and Westley came to the hospital every day to check on the condition of several people. Then, by the afternoon they would go back to the villa. They had been busy like this for a week. Gabrielle went to check on the child in the ward every day. He had been such a beautiful and lovely little boy, like an angel. But now he lay only on the bed. Seeing his angelic face and silent demeanor, Gabrielle felt very sad. “Westley, it’s been a week. Why hasn’t he woken up yet? When will he wake up?

” Gabrielle held the boy’s hand softly and looked at Westley anxiously, when he stepped in the room. Westley gently placed his hand on her head and comforted her. Every day, he said things to comfort her. But as he watched the little boy, he too didn’t know what to say next. He wondered what could be said that would comfort Gabrielle. “Gabrielle, he has lost too much blood and had a brain injury. It’s not easy for him to wake up so soon. Since you saved this child, probably you can pass on some good luck to him. With you by his side, I’m sure he will be fine soon.

Don’t worry too much.” Westley was concerned when he saw Gabrielle so worried and disturbed. As each day passed, she was getting more and more anxious. He was afraid that if it went on in the same manner, she would get sick before the child woke up. Under no circumstances could he let such a thing happen. “But, Westley…” “No more ‘ifs’ and ‘buts’. Gabrielle, listen to me carefully now. You are worried because you care too much about the child. But such anxiety isn’t good for you too. You need to relax. Come on now. There is a good

restaurant around here. Let’s go and have lunch. We’ll come back after the meal. What do you say?” Westley gently took her hand and tried to make her move.

Gabrielle had listened to Westley quietly and slowly realized that Westley was right. He was reasonable. She had been under too much mental pressure in the last few days. It was so much that sometimes she would awaken at midnight, and would not be able to go back to sleep for hours.

“Okay. Let’s go and have lunch.” Gabrielle stood up. She slowly bent down and kissed the boy on the forehead softly.

“Baby, we’re going now to have lunch. We’ll be back soon. I’ll be by your side. Be good and wake up early, please,” Gabrielle slowly whispered to the boy. Half-heartedly, she left with Westley, hand in hand.

The two got into the car and strapped the seatbelts. Suddenly Gabrielle sighed heavily.

“What’s wrong, Gabrielle?” Westley asked with concern.

“Westley, we don’t even know the child’s name yet!” Gabrielle said and looked at Westley helplessly.

They had decided to take care of the child till he recovered. But they hardly knew anything about him. How could they not know his name?

“I understand your concern, Gabrielle. But I haven’t been able to collect any information about the child and his parents. I don’t know the child’s name either. So, the only thing to do now is to ask the child, when he wakes up.” Westley spoke in a gentle tone and tried to comfort Gabrielle. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

As a matter of fact, he didn’t know how to make her feel better.

“Will he be able to tell his name to me, in person? Honestly, Westley, I’m actually worried about one thing. The boy has hurt the back of his head. He saw his mother being shot. Will he remember anything? Can he suffer from amnesia because of the injury? What if he forgets who he is and everything about his past?” Gabrielle asked in a serious tone. Though it didn’t happen all the time, yet such things did really happen a lot. “Amnesia?” Westley said after a moment’s silence.

He had been lost in his thoughts. “Well, it’s possible.” “Yes. However, considering the things around him, I really think it will not be such a bad thing if he loses his memory. We can’t find out his identity. Sadly, his mother has passed away. When he wakes, it won’t be a good thing for the child to have such a painful memory. As a matter of fact, I think it’s better for him if he forgets it.” Gabrielle felt that losing memory would be better for the child. “Well, losing memory may be a good thing for him, but he hasn’t woken up yet. It’s out of our control if he loses his memory or not,” Westley said calmly.

It was one of the rare occasions when he didn’t know how to handle the situation. There was nothing he could do to control the things around him. “Westley, isn’t there a kind of hypnosis skill or therapy that makes people lose their memories? I’m thinking that if he doesn’t lose his memory, we’ll reach out to the most powerful hypnotist. We’ll ask him to hypnotize the child and make him forget this painful memory,” Gabrielle said in a calm and composed manner.

She was so serious about the whole thing. “Gabrielle, let’s talk about it when the child wakes up. You’re getting extremely anxious and stressing yourself, physically and emotionally.” Westley tried to make her relax. Looking at her, he knew that there was so much running in her mind. Gabrielle was aware that she was getting more and more anxious as days passed. But she couldn’t control herself. She started

to feel sad too. “Westley, believe me, even I don’t want to be like this!” Gabrielle was filled with a feeling of helplessness. She didn’t want to be like this, but most of the time, when it was concerned with the boy, she couldn’t control her emotions.

“Then, let go of all the uneasiness first. Listen to me carefully. Don’t think about anything else. We can discuss everything later on. The most important thing is that the child wakes up,” Westley suggested. He was correct because things could become clear only after he woke up from the coma. “I know that everything depends on his waking up. Okay, Westley. I will listen to you. I will not think about the child for now. Let’s take the decision when he wakes up.” Gabrielle took a deep breath. She had finally decided to listen and follow what Westley had said. ‘There’s no point getting hyper about it. Let nature take its course.’
