Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 484

Hearing this, Gabrielle's heart sank. So, it was up to Bain to convict someone whether they should receive punishment or not, and he didn't even need any evidence. This was the rule here.

It was just like those henchmen around those big shots who could do anything unscrupulously, without the law's judgment as long as they were heeding to those big shots.

Then, Rose was also Bain's confidant. She wouldn't be regarded as a traitor for such a trivial matter, would she?

Gabrielle had no choice but to comfort herself in this way at this time. She would be devastated if Rose was regarded as a traitor. She knew that the punishment must not be light.

"Gabrielle, it's their internal affairs anyway. Don't worry about it. Besides, it's not that she let you go, but I am the one who brought you out, remember? If Bain really looks into it, Rose should not be the one to be blamed, unless he is an unreasonable person who thinks he can convict people at will." Westley didn't know what to say to lighten the guilt in her heart, so he could only tell her what he guessed about the situation.

Gabrielle understood what Westley meant. Just like this words, it was indeed a matter between Bain and Rose. She couldn't do anything to help her if Bain thought that Rose had betrayed him. She could only pray that Bain wasn't a despicable man who lived in the air of unreasonable superiority.

Gabrielle really felt that it was so unfair for Rose to live a life like that. She had no freedom and what was more, there was a chance that she might be executed at any time.

"Gabrielle, I know what you are thinking, but it could be possible that Rose was not forced by Bain to come to the forest. It's her own choice to live there and she should have foreseen what the result would be like. She doesn't need others to think for her. Moreover, the people who have clean backgrounds in the forest are almost non-existent. Since Rose had decided to help you, I am sure that she was clear about the consequences and was ready for it." Westley knew how Gabrielle was like. She was used to considering other people's feelings and safety after all.

"Westley, I know what you mean. She just wanted to help me without wishing for any return, but I can't help feeling that I owe her. That's why I hope you can tell brother about this matter and ask him to take Rose and Doctor Maniac away from the forest. You also know that the two of them are really good people. They have helped us a lot. I don't want the two of them to continue staying under Bain's influence and be in danger all the time." Of course, Gabrielle knew that it was too much for her to make such a request, but she had to do something for Rose to repay what she owed her.

After thinking for a while, Gabrielle felt that her request was ridiculous. She retracted her request as she said, "Never mind. If this is impossible, just forget it. I know it will put you in a difficult position." She knew what kind of situation they were facing right now.

In this case, it was too much for her to make such a request to Westley who was in the same situation with her.

"Gabrielle, it's not an unreasonable request. But you have to know that the people in the forest are all basically criminals who have committed major crimes more or less. Even if I ask Rose and Doctor Maniac to leave with us, this may not be what they wish." Westley had to remind Gabrielle about the real situation in here. He didn't think that those two would agree to comply even if he tried to save them.

"You are right. Anyway, let's drop this topic. How far have we gone? No one is following us, right?" While asking, Gabrielle took a look at the environment on both sides of the river. However, she could barely see anything as it was so dark that even the moonlight couldn't shine through. There were the sounds of the insects, rustled leaves, and the howling beasts, but she couldn't tell what kind of creatures they were at all.

Indeed, all kinds of danger hid in the forest.

Therefore, people said that

if a person got lost in the forest, there was the possibility that the person would not only get caught by Bain's men but also be eaten alive by those beasts.

"By now, we've drifted down for nearly twenty minutes. We still have half an hour to get to the waterfall. When we get there, we have to get off the kayak and walk onwards because the waterfall is a little high," Westley calmly explained to her the time and their route plan.

When he meant by half an hour, everything would have to go well in order to arrive by that time. Then, they would have to walk for about twenty minutes to get out of the forest. After that, they would arrive at a farm.
