Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 475

Gabrielle was taken aback by Rose's suggestion. She freed Rose from her arms and looked at her in disbelief. After a moment, she came to her senses. She looked at Rose with uneasiness in her eyes.

"Rose… What are you talking about?"

"Gabrielle, I know you want to leave. Let me help you." The look of determination on Rose's face made it feel like she was ready to risk everything. Rose couldn't bear to think about the possibility of Gabrielle dying in Bain's hands because she looked like her dead sister.

"But Rose, what would happen to you if you betray Bain?" There was no elation on Gabrielle's face. Rose's offer made her feel uneasy.

"Death, I guess," Rose calmly replied.

'Death?'

That mention of that word stunned Gabrielle. She had expected once betrayal to Bain to be expensive but she did not anticipate that it would cost one's life.

The price to pay was not worth the return. Gabrielle could not stomach to let Rose go through that misery. Besides, she had no idea why Rose said such a thing. Gabrielle wasn't sure if it was a test or if Rose really wanted to help her escape.

Confusion ran in Gabrielle's nerves. She fancied Rose but that was all. If she placed her hopes of survival all on Rose's palm, she might be caught in a trap. That was why Gabrielle had her reservations when Rose offered to help her.

Rose owed her life to Bain. It was hard to believe that Rose was willing to risk everything she had just to help Gabrielle escape.

"Rose, I don't have to go. I didn't do anything wrong. Why would I run away? I'm going back to the village with you," Gabrielle replied as she tried to regain her composure.

"What are you two doing? The pheasants are here," Lance called their attention from where he was hiding.

Rose stuck her head out to take a peek at the pheasants.

"Attack! Lance!" Rose did not say anything more. She jumped out and set an arrow on her crossbow. Her movements were spectacular.

Gabrielle did the same thing. She aimed the arrow towards the pheasants.

Gabrielle had no experience with hunting. To top it all off, the pheasants were moving targets so it was even harder to get an aim at them.

Rose and Lance finished the hunting. Gabrielle did not catch anything.

"Put the crossbow away, Gabrielle. We're done. Let's grill the pheasants by the river," Rose said as she turned to look at Gabrielle.

Gabrielle felt lousy. She did not even catch one pheasant. She carried her backpack and helped them out.

They managed to kill eight pheasants. That much was enough for dinner. One could say that it was a successful hunting.

"Did you have fun?" Rose asked Gabrielle.

The pheasant that Gabrielle had in her hand was adorned with majestic feathers. However, the blood in her hands made her feel sick.

"Let's go. We can wash our hands when we get to the river," Rose said as she took the pheasant in her hand.

"Gabrielle, are you okay?" Lance took a few pieces of tissue from his backpack and wiped her hands.

"I'm fine. It was my first time doing something like this. I was too slow. Let's go." Gabrielle was terrified.

She did not want to say anything more. Gabrielle walked forward with a heavy heart.

"Gabrielle, did Rose say something to you? Why do you look agitated?" Lance couldn't help himself from getting worried when he saw how pale her face was.

"I'm fine. Let's go." Gabrielle wasn't in the mood to talk about it when Rose had just told her about her dead sister.

"Okay."

Rose put her coat on as she walked forward without a care.

When they got to the river, Rose lit up a fire to burn the feathers off of the pheasants. After getting rid of all of their hair, she went to the river to clean them with a dagger. Her movements were as fast as lightning. It was as if she had been doing it her whole life. Finally, she grilled the pheasants on the open fire.

"Gabrielle, don't put too much wood into the fire. You will burn the meat," Rose

warned as she rummaged for spices in her bag.

Gabrielle was a little surprised to see that Rose had brought a lot of things with her. It was rare to see someone be so ready that she even brought seasonings with her.
