Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 588

Looking at the check, Gabrielle was startled. She stared at it and couldn’t stop herself from laughing aloud.

‘Do rich people like to thank others with money? Or is it just the Walker family?’

First there was Jonathan, and now Jasmine. They were both so generous and wanted to repay her for everything in monetary terms.

If Gabrielle took those two checks, she’d be quite rich. The money was enough for her to spend the rest of her life leisurely. She wouldn’t have to work at all. NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Excuse me, Ms. Jones, why are you laughing? Is it not enough?” Jasmine asked her with concern, as she saw the slight smile on Gabrielle’s face.

“Well, it’s quite enough. Rather, it’s not as much as the amount Mr. Walker offered me when we met the last time. He offered me ten million, while you’re offering just three!” Gabrielle said calmly.

“Well, I am not as rich as my father, Ms. Jones. I’m offering you this as a token of gratitude and to thank you for all that you’ve done. Although I’m offering you less money than my father, surely we all love mother just the same!” Jasmine said, with a sadness in her tone.

She was surprised but didn’t show it. She did not expect that her father would be willing to give Gabrielle ten million. Although it was a lot of money, she was not angry at him for offering such a huge amount. Jasmine was indebted to Gabrielle because she had saved her mother’s life.

However, she misinterpreted the sarcasm in Gabrielle’s words and thought she was being too greedy. She had already gotten ten million from her father, and now was looked down upon the three million. Maybe it was not enough for her.

Jasmine felt that even one million dollars was a huge amount, and it was enough for an ordinary person to live peacefully for the rest of his or her life.

But seeing Gabrielle she was convinced that people were born greedy. “Ms. Walker, I think you’ve misunderstood me. I know that you and your father love Mrs. Glyn a lot. I feel happy for her. But let me inform you that I didn’t take your father’s check. In the same manner, I have no reason to take yours now. I just felt that it’s funny how both of you, you and your father, tried to express their gratitude and thanked me with money!” Gabrielle explained the thing that was bothering her, in a relaxed tone. “What? My father offered you ten million, but you didn’t take it?” Jasmine was taken aback. She had thought that Gabrielle was a greedy woman and was craving for money. However, the fact blew her off She couldn’t believe that Gabrielle didn’t take even a penny.com “Well, Ms. Walker, if you don’t believe me, you can go home and ask your father.

I don’t think I need to be paid for what | have done. I just donated some of my blood to my teacher. It’s nothing really. And I can’t take your money, Ms. Glyn is my teacher and she has been taking care of me as I decided upon my future and career. I am glad that I was able to help her in a small way. I didn’t do anything for your mother in lieu of money,” Gabrielle said calmly. But there was a seriousness in her. Her words had really impressed Jasmine.

“Ms. Jones, since you didn’t take my father’s check, please accept mine. It’s not much money, but I really want to thank you for saving my mother’s life!” Jasmine continued in a distraught tone. “Ms. Walker, if I accept your check, it will be an insult to Ms. Glyn. She would certainly feel weird if she knew. I didn’t donate my blood because of the check. The fact is that I would have done it for anyone!” This time Gabrielle blatantly refused. There was no way, she would accept that check. Since she had refused to take the money, Jasmine didn’t insist anymore. She quietly took the check back.

“M

s. Jones, I’m sorry that I misunderstood you and probably even insulted you. Please forgive me. There’s no denying that you saved my mother’s life. The Walker family will always be grateful to you. So if you need any help in the future, here is my number. You can just call me.” Jasmine gently put away the check. She took out a business card and gave it to Gabrielle.

This time, Gabrielle didn’t refuse. She took it over and found that they were indeed father and daughter. They did things in similar ways.

“Okay, Ms. Walker, I’ll take the card. Now if there’s nothing else, I’d like to go first.” Gabrielle held the business card in her hand and was about to leave.

“Ms. Jones, please wait. I haven’t finished yet.” Jasmine stopped her from leaving.

“Oh, Ms. Walker, what did you want to say?” Gabrielle looked at her calmly.

Jasmine’s expression became more and more serious. Seeing her like that, Gabrielle felt a little uneasy.

“Ms. Jones, indeed this is going to sound foolish but I want to know something. Did Nathan get hurt because of you?” Jasmine asked Gabrielle. There was a wave of mixed feelings in her heart.

“Well, the truth is that Mr. Sanderson took the bullet that was meant for me. Trust me, I’m extremely sorry for this. And I want to say sorry to him, in person,” Gabrielle said without hesitation. She felt that Jasmine already knew something. That was why she asked her about it. Gabrielle knew there was no reason to lie to Jasmine now.

She had her doubts and just needed a confirmation. Sooner or later, she would know what had happened. Gabrielle thought that it was better for her to tell Jasmine the truth. After all, Nathan did get injured because he tried to protect her. “That’s what I thought, Ms. Jones. Now if I may ask you another

question? What’s your relationship with Nathan?” Jasmine put across the question blatantly before Gabrielle. Gabrielle didn’t want to answer this question any more. She had been asked it several times. The fact was that they had met the first time in Bangkok. Strictly speaking, they were not even friends. Because of the accident, they had met each other, then Nathan risked his life for her. It wasn’t surprising when everyone began to suspect their relationship.

“Ms. Walker, I just met Mr. Sanderson in Bangkok. We knew each other because of Ms. Glyn. However, I think Mr. Sanderson would have done that for anyone!” Gabrielle explained calmly. She didn’t want to sound annoyed or frustrated. Hearing that, Jasmine fell silent. She wanted to say something to Gabrielle, but she didn’t seem to know what to say. “Ms. Jones, since now I know that you and Nathan are just acquaintances, I’m sorry that I asked you that question.” Jasmine didn’t want to think too much about it, but she couldn’t stop herself. She had known Nathan for so many years. But she had never seen him making such a desperate act and trying to save someone who was almost like a stranger to him. Something about Gabrielle always made her feel a little uneasy. The truth was that she felt threatened and intimidated by Gabrielle’s presence.

“Ms. Jones, I would suggest that you not overthink about our relationship. I am a happily married woman. I will not do anything and betray my husband. We love each other a lot. Honestly, I just met Mr. Sanderson and I don’t even know him well.” Gabrielle often didn’t talk about her marriage, but for the sake of Jasmine, who was Melissa’s daughter, she told her everything. “What? Really? Ms. Jones, you are married?” Jasmine looked at Gabrielle in surprise. Both of them were nearly of the same age. She didn’t expect that Gabrielle would be a married woman. Jasmine was taken aback when she heard that.
