Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 456

Gabrielle didn't think Doctor Maniac would be so sensitive. He could see the pity in her eyes.

She got chills from his icy stare.

''Doctor Maniac, I didn't mean it that way. I think you're excellent and strong-willed," Gabrielle explained, smiling awkwardly.

"Exactly. That's why you don't have to sympathize. You stay with him for as long as you like, but don't forget to close the door when you leave.'' Then, he headed outside right away.

Gabrielle heaved a sigh of relief and sat at the edge of the bed.

"Bryce..." She scanned the wounds on Bryce's face and it horrified her so much.

Her hatred for Bryce faded in an instant when she saw his condition.

''Now that you've seen him, what do you think?'' Lance turned to her and asked.

''He's seriously in a bad shape. What really happened to him?'' It was a shocking scene.

''Didn't you hear what the doctor said? He fought someone, fell off a building. On top of that, he had his face smashed against sharp objects. I can't even imagine what he went through. He hasn't woken up since.'' Lance reminded Gabrielle of the incident.

''I heard him the first time... but it baffles me. How on earth did Bryce get involved in these things? He's in a serious condition and we don't even know when he's going to wake up! Doctor Maniac would be able to cure him, right? He must have some skills!" Gabrielle desperately needed an answer.

With Bryce's current condition, there was no telling when they'd be able to get back.

"I can't guarantee that. It's even a miracle that he's still alive." Lance couldn't look Gabrielle in the eyes.

He also wanted Bryce to recover fast, but it was hard to keep their hopes up.

''If he doesn't wake up soon, are we going to stay here until he does? I don't like it here." Gabrielle bit her lip.

Lance knew how Gabrielle felt, but he couldn't do anything. Destiny was out of his control.

''Gabrielle, you have to stay strong. Our safety is guaranteed here. Everyone looks up to Doctor Maniac because he's considered a genius in the medical field. There's no patient he can't cure. He doesn't easily agree to treat patients, but he agreed to treat Bryce. Let's put our trust in him.'' That was all he could say.

It calmed Gabrielle down, but she was still worried about being in the forest for so long.

She had a feeling that she wouldn't be able to fit in here.

Gabrielle headed towards the window and peeked outside.

The villagers were going around and would casually look in the hospital's direction.

''Lance, I think these people really don't like us that much. They keep staring.'' Gabrielle couldn't explain the way she was feeling. She was afraid she might be overthinking again.
