Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 109

Chapter 109 Caring Cousin

The ambiance in the hospital was calm and Serene. The hospital walls, which were painted white were clean which gave the whole environment some sort of coziness. Gabrielle and Lance made their way to Sloane’s ward. Outside the ward, two bodyguards were charged with the responsibility of watching her. When they recognized Gabrielle, they glared at her coldly.

“Miss Jones, Mr. Morris hasn’t allowed you to visit her yet,” one of them spoke to her.

Her face turned red with anger. “How can they prevent me from seeing ny best friend?” she thought to herself. She turned to look at Lance with embarrassment written all over her face. “I’m sorry, Lance. We won’t be able to see Sloane. She is still in a coma.”

“I don’t understand why Westley is doing this to you. Is Sloane not your best friend? So what’s the relationship between the both of them?” Lance asked as he contorted his face in a wide frown. Right from time, he didn’t like Westley and the fact that he lorded over people made him hate him even more.

He coerced his cousin into marrying him and now, he even banned her from seeing her close friend. What else did he want from her? 10:17

“This is just too much, Lance thought deeply as he shook his head in pity.

“Don’t misunderstand me. Lance. Westley has nothing to do with her. He just doesn’t want me to see her yet… It’s nothing serious. We’ve had little misunderstandings in the last few days.” She still hadn’t apologized to him yet. Besides, it seemed she offended him again last night unknowingly.

It was true that the last fight they had had not been settled yet, and now, a new one had taken over. With the way things were at the moment, it would be more difficult to see her

friend

“I don’t understand your husband, Gabrielle. You both had a fight and he threatened you with Sloane? What kind of man is he? How can he be so petty?” he asked angrily. Lance hated men who threatened women. He even treated them with contempt.

At that instance, Gabrielle saw that the two bodyguards looked at her cousin with resentment. She quickly tugged at his sleeve and urged him to stop speaking ill of Westley, “Lance, stop. It’s okay,” she tried to stop him from talking

She was visibly worried that the two bodyguards would beat him up to protect Westley’s honor. After all, he had spoken

badly about their boss and they were to do their best to protect his reputation.

“You know I’m just saying the truth, Gabrielle. It would be better if they told him that marrying a wife is not for fun and intimidation. You’re also a human being and he should respect you,” he said bluntly. He wasn’t scared of the bodyguards or the tough front they had put up. They could tell Westley what he had said for all he cared.

He didn’t mind fighting with them and it would be better if they complained to their boss. If he tried anything funny, he would teach Westley how to be a husband to his cousin face to face. ‘If he doesn’t know how to be a good husband or does not want to be good to her, he should just let her go!’ he thought with annoyance.

“It’s lunchtime, Lance. Let me take you out for lunch, Gabrielle said as she quickly changed the topic. She didn’t want them to dwell too much on her husband.

“Of course, Gabrielle.

What would you like to eat? Let me do the honors.” He smiled. He didn’t want to face Westley’s bodyguards anymore.

He hated everything related to this man called Westley and he did a very bad job of hiding it.

I want to eat beef noodles,” she answered unhappily

Of course, Lance agreed. No matter what she wanted to eat, he was willing to accompany

her.

“Okay, let’s go to your favorite restaurant. We can eat there. What do you say?” Gabrielle nodded affirmatively. He led her into the elevator.

“Gabrielle, do you want to see Sloane?” Lance knew the relationship between Gabrielle and Sloane. Now that the latter was lying in bed in a coma, he knew that Gabrielle would always want to be by her side at all costs.

“Yes, I do. If I didn’t want to see her, I wouldn’t have come here. But as you can see, with those two tall and strong bodyguards standing in front of the ward. I couldn’t even see her at all.” She felt a little disappointed and downcast.

She couldn’t even get close to the door to catch a glimpse of her. She didn’t know what was going on with her. Sloane had been in al coma for so long, and still had no intention of waking up anytime soon.

“Wait here for a minute, Gabrielle. I’ll talk to the bodyguards and ask you to come up later. Just stay here. Don’t move.” Lance pushed

her out of the elevator and went upatairs on the elevator again.

Gabrielle was still in shock when she wilis pashed out of the elevator. What was he going to do?

She stayed with her for five minutes and went out on time. Immediately she came out of the ward, her cousin quickly pulled her to the elevator.

“Lance, hope you‘ve done nothing wrong.” she asked him again. She was quite inquisitive because of the way he behaved.

“I did nothing wrong, Gabrielle. I just communicated with them. Westley’s bodyguards are much easier to talk to than him,” he said meaningfully. 3

She chose to believe what he said. By the way. in her impression, Lance was a gentleman all the time. Although he could fight, he had always been polite. He didn’t take undule advantage of others.

“Let’s go. We can have your beef noodles now.” Lance was in a good mood now and this showed in the way she smiled from ear to ear.

He drove from the hospital to the beef noodle restaurant with a big smile on his face.

Seeing that he was in a good mood, she didn’t bother saying anything more. When they entered the restaurant, she just ordered her favorite beef noodles and added some extra beef

Lance ordered the same food she ordered for. After they had been served, he picked up the beef in his bowl and put them into Gabrielle’s bowl.

“Lance, you don’t have to give me out of your beef. I have specially ordered for one more dish of beef,” Gabrielle tried to refuse. She felt embarrassed.

“Do you dislike the beef I’m putting in your bowl, Gabrielle?” Lance knew she didn’t mean it, so he said that on purpose.

She shook her head. “I didn’t mean it that way. How can I dislike it? Since you’re giving me your beef, what will you eat?

“I know that’s the question on your mind. Actually, I know you like the beef here, but I don’t like it so much. I just want to eat the noodles,” he explained. He continued to refill her bowl with beef until there was no beef left in his

Gabrielle felt very touched. “Lance, you are so kind to me. Thank you,” she said with her eyes almost teary.

“Don’t be a silly girl,” he said. “If I don’t treat. you well, who would I be kind to?” He looked at her and smiled with so much affection in his eyes.

She did her best to avoid his gaze. She lowered her head subconsciously to eat the beef sliced in her bowl. It was filled to the brim with beef and this made her so happy.
