Chapter 163 Too Fragile
Everyone had just returned from climbing the mountain. Because of how numb Gabrielle felt in her legs. Westley had carried her up the stairs. But right now, what did he mean by saying that she was inviting him to take a shower together?
At this point, Gabrielle’s mind went blank and her blood was flowing back all over her fead. She knew that her face had tumed extremely red now, she didn’t have to look in the mirror to confirmi.
“Westley is such a rascal. He will always find a way to say sortiethung indecent to me,’ she thought.
Never had she thought about inviting him to take a shower together with her. She could still do it herself.
“I didn’t mean it that way. I just wanted to ask you if you want to take a shower now. Your body is already wet,” she explained to him.
She had just asked him out of kindness, but he replied to her this way. “This man is just so annoyin.” she snotted.
*Don’t worry about me, Gabrielle. You should take a shower first so that you can have adequate rest.” As soon is Westley said this, the turned around and left the room
Gabrielle quickly closed the door to the bathroom. She took off her clothes slowly and started the shower and got under it.
The warm water made her feel much better. Even the cramps in her feet had eased a whole lot after going down the mountain. It was not as serious as she had thought it would be.
But Westley had insisted on carrying her on his back and for this reason, she didn’t say anything in refutation
Even though she knew that he didn’t like her very much, Gabrielle still wanted to stay on his back for some more time when he carried her. Such a chance might not be available again in the future and she wanted to make judicious use of
People were easy to become veedy A long as someone gave them a little warmth, they would want more than what the person had to offer.
She didn’t like the way she felt towards her husband. This was the samne Westley: he hadn’t changed. He was the man who wanted to destroy the Jones family and also treat her as an enemy. They should be chemies, but as it stood right now, Gabrielle was just greedy for his warmth. This was not appropriate in any way. “You can’t afford to do anything stupid, Gabrielle. Once you fall for his tenderness, you would never have your freedom again in the future. Just think about that.’ she cautioned herself.
As she scolded herself, she felt a little bit of annoyance within her. After this, she dived into the water and tried to calm herself down.
Meanwhile. Westley had gone downstairs with his clothes and was about to take a shower in the public bathroom on the first floor. Miley was also downstairs preparing lunch for them and was surprised to see fiim coming this way.
What’s the matter, Westley? Have you been driven out of your bedroom by your wife Miley sked with a smile in a bid to make fun of him.
She was clear about the relationship between Westley and Gabrielle. which was just slowly progressing and night now, it was not in il quod stage.
“Yes, I was driven out. Gabrielle is taking her bath in the bathroom. That was why I came downstairs to take a shower here,
Westley acquiesced in what the old lady had said.
Miley didn’t say anything more than that. She knew what kind of person Westley was.
He was always self-disciplined. But sometimes it was not good to be too self disciplined. It came with a lot of headaches most time.
“Go and take a shower quickly then. So you don’t catch a cold,” Miley told him as she looked at him and said nothing more.
“Grandma, I need some muscle relaxing medicine. Could you please help me find
it out and give it to me when I came out from the shower?” Immediately he said
without waiting for her answer.
About ten minutes later, he came out of the bathroom, wearing light gray pajamas which complemented his handsome complexion.
“Here is the medicine. By the way. what’s the matter with you? Are you riot feeling well? Or did you get hurt accidentally when you climbed up the mountain?” Miley asked with concern as she gave the medicine to him.
“I’m fine, grandma. It’s not for me, but for Gabrielle. She had the high-level exercise, which caused the cramps in her feet. I’m taking it for her to use when she’s out of the shower,” he told her.
Westley didn’t need to keep it a secret
from Miley
It was the fact, and it was not a big deal to let her know what was going on with Gabrielle.
No matter what Westley got angry at, she was sure that he wis very jealous, He was protecting Gabricile and favoring her at the same time.
It seemed that he already had a crush on her.
If he wasn’t in love with Gabrielle, why was he doing all these?
Her silly grandson had refused to admit it until now, but she could see it clearly in his eyes. As she thought about this, Miley couldn’t help but feel happy within her.
When Westley entered the room, he didn’t see Gabrielle. The door of the bathroom was still firmly closed, so he thought that she might still be having a bath in it.
“Gabrielle,” he called out. He was worried that something bad might have happened to her, so he knocked on the door, but there was no response from inside.
“Could there be anything wrong with her?’ he thought within himself.
“Gabrielle, can you hear me?” he asked with so much concern.
There was still no response from her. This made him so tensed up. He pushed the door open and went in immediately. After all the door was not locked just
As soon as he entered the bathroom, he saw that Gabrielle was asleep in the bathtub. Westley was shocked and touched her forehead. It was very hot. She was running a fever.
This woman didn’t know how to take care of herself. She had such a high fever to the extent that she fell asleep while taking her bath.
Westley pulled her out of the water and wrapped her with a bath towel. He Carried her out of the bathroom and put her on the bed.
Then he went downstairs to get the medical kit prepared by Miley. He took her temperature first and then gave her the suitable medicine.
“Mr. Morris, is everything okay with Gabrielle? How come she’s running a fever, so easily?” Mia was standing aside. She was visibly worried about Gabrielle, but also felt curious about what had happened to her.
It seemed everything was fine with her but when she entered the room, she developed a fever all of a sudden.
