Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 560

The Walker family hired the best medical team for Melissa. So her recovery was noticeable. Had it not been for the serious injury she suffered, Jonathan would have taken her back to Ensfield.

Gabrielle frequented the hospital on a daily basis. Each time she paid the child a visit, she always went to see Melissa.

“Ms. Glyn, when are you going back with Mr. Walker, the public holiday is fast approaching?” Gabrielle asked as she peeled an apple for Melissa. The public holiday was a time of reunion. People were supposed to spend it with their families.

The past few days witnessed a drastic change in Gabrielle’s attitude towards Jonathan. Both of them talked little every time they met. He always appeared unwelcoming and insouciant. His enthusiasm lost its fervor, especially when it pertained to her. Notwithstanding, she really treated him as an elder.

This was because, despite everything, he remained Mr. Glyn’s decent and dignified husband in her sight.

While Jonathan was taking care of his wife, he also had to control his company remotely. This made him very busy. Normally, whenever Gabrielle was around, he would make an excuse to walk away and deal with his own affairs so that she could be given the opportunity to chat with Melissa.

“In two days. But Jonathan doesn’t like the idea of taking the plane because of my wounds. He wants to spend the holiday in Bangkok with me,” Melissa replied. “What about you? If you don’t have any plans, we can spend the holiday here together,” Melissa said and waited eagerly.

Somehow, she fascinated Gabrielle for no reason in particular. Therefore, she wanted both of them to become closer.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Well, I’m not exactly sure yet. We may probably go back. But plans can be made to spend some days with you,” Gabrielle said. “Come and live in our villa. There are spare rooms. Mr. Walker is also very welcome. You could stay together.” Gabrielle looked at Melissa excitedly.

“I have got to discuss it with Jonathan before reaching a conclusion. Don’t you need to do the same with Mr. Morris?” Melissa’s heart skipped as she thought about the grudge between the Morris and Walker families.

She wouldn’t mind sharing a meal with Gabrielle or living under her roof. But it was just unimaginable for Jonathan and Westley to have dinner together. Jonathan was aware of the fact that Gabrielle married Westley in Antawood. So, he had been deliberately avoiding anything that would have him mention the Morris family. “Of course, I’ll discuss it with Westley later. It will really be exciting if you and Mr. Walker can spend some days in our villa,” Gabrielle said to her.

“Oh, poor boy!” She heaved a depressing sigh. It had been more than a week. Yet, there was no certainty with respect to the child’s waking up or not. “Do not worry yourself so much, Gabrielle. He will wake up. Remember that you also saved me and now I’m recovering well,” Melissa said. “You’ve brought so much good luck into our lives.” She regarded Gabrielle as a very kind and lovely girl. “Thanks for your kind words, Ms. Glyn. But you don’t have to comfort me. I am just as capable of bringing disaster to people. Anyone who gets close to me usually gets implicated somehow.” She tried to give an instance to buttress her claim but Melissa interrupted her. “How can someone be this naive? I got you into trouble. It was simply because we went to the jewelry exhibition together. If you had not associated with me, none of these would have happened.”

Melissa felt like she owed Gabrielle her life. “I am not t he victim here. It is you who lost so much blood for me.” Melissa spoke with so much gratitude. Had it not been for the blood Gabrielle donated, the transfusion would not have been possible and Melissa would have been in grave danger. “Say no more, Ms. Glyn. Your husband has thanked me enough.” In that moment, Gabrielle couldn’t refrain from laughing. It was when she remembered that Jonathan had given her a ten million check.

“Gabrielle, Jonathan belongs to a weird school of thought. He tries using money to solve everything. This isn’t an excuse to defend his wrong deed towards you. But please, do not take it to heart. I know how unique a person you are.”

Melissa never had a reason to be worried about Gabrielle’s nature.

“Mr. Walker didn’t do anything wrong. I think he is a nice and kind man, Ms. Glyn.”

Gabrielle respected Jonathan. To her, he was a good elder.

“Did you say that he is kind?” Melissa smiled at her.

“Gabrielle, you are the first person to say that he is kind. But given your nature, it is quite expected. You should know that many people in Ensfield are terrified by him. They don’t see him in the same light as you,” she explained. It was rare for her to talk about him. “Therefore, when the people of Ensfield comment on him, they won’t say many good words. He fits the stereotype of a narcissist who doesn’t care about the opinions of others. He is disliked by everyone.” Melissa described her husband using harsh words.

“But I have a different opinion of him. At least he made me feel safe around him,” Gabrielle retorted. ‘Jonathan is more amiable than Tobias,’ she said in her mind. “Your husband is indeed a good man.”

“If Jonathan is here to hear these words you’ve said, he would be rapturous for a long time.” Melissa held her hand. “But from now on, our lives have become connected. Having said so, if you need any help, please don’t hesitate to inform us about it,” she said with a particularly stern look on her face. “We were just fortunate enough to have providence on our side. If things were otherwise and my blood type was not the same as yours, then I wouldn’t have been of any help to you,

” Gabrielle replied gladly. “Gabrielle, I just want you to know that if I can wake up because of the good luck you bring me, then be rest assured that child you saved will also do the same,” Melissa remarked seriously. Her kind words greatly encouraged Gabrielle. It helped strengthen her hope and conviction. “I appreciate your kind words. They encourage me. If it is possible, I am very willing to give all the good luck within my power in order to see the boy awake,” Gabrielle remarked sincerely. “Don’t say that, alright? You and the child will be fine.” Melissa couldn’t make much sense of Gabrielle’s previous statement.

‘Why is she suddenly saying that she would give her good luck to the child?’ Although Melissa also liked the child and felt sorry for him being without his mother, she was not familiar with the boy. Therefore, she was more obliged to demonstrate her concern for Gabrielle. “It is okay, Ms. Glyn. I will be fine. By the way, Nathan’s family is with him even if he hasn’t woken up yet. I just want to go and see him. Can you help me?” Gabrielle hadn’t taken a look at Nathan yet. She blamed herself for the hurt that had befallen him. A member of the Sanderson Family had been guarding Nathan’s ward. No one was allowed to get close to it. So, Gabrielle was unable to see him. “Do you really want to see him?” Melissa asked Gabrielle earnestly.
