Chapter 157 Westley Carries Holly
A hint of pride appeared in Holly’s eyes. No matter how connected Mia was, she was only a friend of Gabrielle’s, after all. She was actually unable to help Gabrielle in dealing with her.
Mia was a thoughtful and, some would say, unusual, girl. Her ideas came out one after another, and were too obscure for certain people.
Gabrielle, though, was different. She was a simple girl and was more palatable, but that didn’t mean she was a doormat or someone to be bullied easily. Her marriage with Westley was quite complicated as it wasn’t real. The absence of love would make it easy to destroy their marriage. 3
Holly found it nearly impossible to give up on Westley. When Westley was in love with Helena previously, Holly could not come between them as that was real love. She had to force herself in holding back on him and love him only from a
But with Gabrielle, things were different, There was no love between then, and Westly actually seemed to dislike Gabrielle. This portrayed a crack in their
Thamrage, which allowed Holly to wedge into that crack and give her a real chance with Westley. “Shouldn’t we call an ambulance now? If Mr. Moms is unable to help you, your condition will get worse and it will make it harder for the doctors to treat you if gets really serious.” Mia understood imminediately what Holly was insimiting. She was so boastful and proud that Westley had gone down to save her. Mia glanced at Gabrielle discreetly. All the color had drained from her face and she looked upset. Maybe it was because Westley had climbed down to save Holly. or maybe it was the ugly look of pride llolly wore on her face because she was being saved by Westley. Maybe it was better for Holly to fall to her death “No, don’t call the ambulance, for real. Westley is coming to save me. 11l be fine. ” Holly saw Westley coming in through a small hole in the cracked wall beside her As soon as he appeared, Holly didn’t feel
didn’t feel afrald “Yes, true, Mr. Morris is very capable and very kind. He’ll save anything or anyone
CVETL cat Or 1 day if it had fallen through the hole! Obviously he’s bound to Save Miss Robinson whom he’s known for a long time.” Mia said, hoping Holly would hear what she was saying above everyone else. Holly. anong everyone else, had heard her clearly. She was trying insinuate that Holly had schemed to fall into the hole on purpose in order to attract Westley’s attention and get him to save her. If she hadn’t done it on purpose, how else would she have fallen into such a shallow hole “accidentally”? It wasn’t even deep enough to cause harm. On injury. It had been a harmless self-inflicting injury that would gain Westley’s Sympathy. “That’s enough. Mia.” Gabrielle reached out and patted Mia to remind her to keep quiet. Mia had said enough for Gabrielle to realize that the accident was orchestrated by Holly on purpose. But to Westley, they were only friends and Holly was a woman-it was difficult
for him to be indillerent towards her.
No matter how uncomfortable Gabrielle was, she could do nothing but watch Westley save her.
“Gabrielle, I just..
I’m sorry, Westley. I was so careless to fall down and hurt myself here. I know you’re worried about me, but please come here and save me!” Holly felt very wam in her heart as she spoke to Westley. Her tender cyes blinkrd softly is she looked at him, helplessly.
Westley still cared about her, even if it was just a little.
“Holly, have you been hurt? Let me have a look first.” Westley took a look at her face and found that there were some cuts and streaks of blood on it. Fortunately, the wound didn’t look too deep and there wasn’t an enormous amount of blood to leave any permanent damage or scars on her face.
“L… I’m fime. I think I’ve sprained my aankle.” Holly averted Westley’s eyes by all means.
His eyes were cold and deep, enough to
been ware that Westley was in
-erved to show his emotions in public. He had always come off as cold and indifferent
Holly was very clear about this. especially now she was pretending to be seriously injured to gain Westley’s sympathy. so she was afraid to look into his eyes
