Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 582

They arrived at the hospital the next day only to find out that Nellie was still fast asleep. Although she had woken up feeling better in the early hours of the morning.

“Wilson and Bonnie! It’s nice to have you here.” Remy confirmed the condition of Nellie’s health after she was finally awake. He was with the attending doctor.

Bonnie became quite worried when she saw how pale her thin face had become. “Is she alright?” she asked expressing her concern.

‘I don’t like the idea of Nellie marrying Westley. But that doesn’t not make her a bad person. Maybe a little work needs to be done as regards the rich lady’s bad temper though.’ Bonnie disliked the members of the Collins family so much. This was because they couldn’t just lead simple lives.

Despite being a mother herself, Bonnie could only imagine what Nellie was going through. The sight of such a pregnant woman naturally unsettled her.

“Her condition is stable. But she needs to stay in bed for two very important reasons. Firstly, she needs to recover from the severe injuries her body has incurred these past two days. Finally, the baby ought to be nurtured till it is born.” Remy briefly explained the situation.

“Nellie’s condition is a little serious. If she isn’t properly taken care of, then the baby’s life may just be in grave danger,” Remy added.

“Well, every cloud has a silver lining. So there is still a blessing attached to this predicament after all. As long as both mother and child are safe. Nellie can still take solace in the birth of her new baby.” Bonnie knew how difficult it was for a woman to go through the rigors of pregnancy.

‘Nellie will have to be bed ridden for less than half a year. That ought to be very tiring,’ she thought.

“You’re right, Bonnie. It may not seem like it, but Nellie has got luck on her side. It is good enough to keep the baby,” Remy retorted emotionally.

It was indeed a miracle that Nellie’s condition was so stable right now. She had to pay more attention to it in the future.

“Thanks a lot Remy for putting in so much effort these past few days. You have proven to be very skillful and trustworthy.”

“I am very elated. But it won’t be right to take all the credit. As a matter of fact, I didn’t do much since I was not an obstetrician nor a gynecologist,” Remy replied.

“You are simply being modest. We are truly relieved to have someone like you around here. I ought to go back with Wilson today. But if any need arises, do not hesitate to ask the Campbell Family for help.” Bonnie always put her household first and she regarded them as being part of it. “It is getting late. So Wilson and I have got to leave right now.” Bonnie took a look at her wrist watch. They had to take a private plane back to Antawood in the evening.

But there was also something that needed to be attended to at the branch office in Bangkok before making a return. From the look of things, it was most likely that they wouldn’t come back after the national holiday. Instead, going to Italy was more certain for them. “If you do not mind, let us proceed downstairs together.” They accompanied Bonnie and Wilson to take a taxi, “You two ought to be careful on the way, alright?” The three of them still stood there while they watched the car leave. “It was just past midnight when you made your arrival. Therefore, go back to the villa and get some sleep. Just let Westley and I stay here,”

Gabrielle opined looking at Remy. Despite being already tired, Remy came alone on getting the doctor’s call during the very early hours of the day. It was three o’clock and Nellie had just woken up. “Okay, I’ll go back and catch some sleep. Let me know if anything that needs my presence arises,” a

stressed out Remy answered. He had been working around the clock in Bangkok for a long time, without any rules! Gabrielle was unrelentingly persuasive. She did her best to make Remy relax a bit in order to gather some strength. So she was very pleased when he finally agreed.

At long last, Remy left for a more comfortable place to have a rest.

But the two of them maintained their positions. Instead of hurrying back to the ward, they looked at the distance holding each other’s hand.

“Westley, I always have a weird feeling that someone is following us. It has to be an illus

ion playing out in my mind, right?” Gabrielle whispered to him in anticipation of a response. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

But he didn’t think that it was an illusion, having been feeling the same way for a long time. Westley refused to tell Gabrielle about it in order not to make her worried. Once, he had asked Slater to carry out an investigation on his behalf in private. Yet, the result wasn’t what was expected.

In this case, it was either the stalkers were too powerful, or they were really unimportant. Maybe Westley was overthinking things.

But on hearing what Gabrielle said, something told him that he hadn’t been wrong all along. Everything was turning out to be true.

“When did you start having this feeling?” Westley asked her.

“A few days ago. But I didn’t want to sound ridiculous, that’s why I didn’t mention anything to you. But the feeling won’t just go away. Perhaps, we are being followed secretly,” Gabrielle replied imperturbably.

Although she had mustered a lot of strength within herself to keep calm all the while, it was always different when she was with Westley.

There was something about his presence that readily made her feel at ease. “It doesn’t matter now, does it? I have asked Slater to investigate them before. But the stalkers are so powerful and dexterous that we didn’t find any information about their whereabouts. They didn’t leave a single trace. As long as these individuals don’t pose any threat or harm to us, we can just choose to ignore their existence. Don’t take them too seriously. I’m afraid it will cause you more trouble,” Westley replied sternly.

“I also didn’t want to give you any reason to be afraid. So I decided to keep it a secret until the matter was clearer.” “The fact that they’ve chosen to lurk in the shadows means that they are not stronger than us. So I don’t need to bother myself too much about this. It’s advisable that we should tread with caution though,” Gabrielle added. “Gabrielle, it is very commendable of you to think in such a manner. Honestly, I thought you would become really fretful on getting to know about this. I guess my assumption was unfounded,” Westley replied looking pleasantly surprised.

‘She does not cease to amaze me. How would I have known that Gabrielle would be so bold and rational? I have been restless for no reason,’ he thought. “Westley, maybe we aren’t their prime target. I think they are after Nellie. Don’t you think so too?” Gabrielle asked him. “Isn’t it suspicious enough that two accidents happened to Nellie in a row? There’s also a woman who was bribed by Mrs. Collins. All these are glaring proofs to back my narration with respect to how things got so complicated.” “That’s very logical. But there is yet another possibility that they are coming for us.” It was no news to Westley that the Collins and Jones families were now close. These two households had earned themselves a reputation for being troublesome. If they worked together, then nobody knew what mischief both of them could cause. “It’s fine. Nellie has woken up, hasn’t she? Let’s just make sure that she recovers enough to be discharged.

Then we will get a place for her as soon as possible. After all, private residences are safer than hospitals,” Gabrielle answered him. She was a very prudent person. They had to deal with them

tactfully, no matter who these individuals were. These stalkers were expected to work toward their own goals and strategy. Therefore, it would be counteractive to alert the enemy. So whatever had to be done must be precisely and accurately done without raising any suspicion.

“Slater was able to find a place some time ago but it was not safe. As a result, I have asked the Campbell Family to help out with looking for another one as soon as possible. When the moment is right, just let Nellie go there. I will arrange for the best nurses and caregivers. We really can’t afford to make any mistakes again,” Westley said, maintaining his calm demeanor. ‘There’s no disputing the fact that compared to the Campbells, Slater was less familiar with Bangkok,’ he thought. “We can’t afford to make any mistakes,” Gabrielle said, holding his hand tightly. It was a little gray outside which made people feel gloomy. “Let us proceed to the ward.” Gabrielle took his hand and they walked to the elevator.
