Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 485

Gabrielle's hunch was completely correct because they found themselves at shallows full of twists after turning a corner.

This place had not only twists and turns but also rocks and whirlpools. In short, this section of the river was a very dangerous place. Westley naturally had confidence in crossing it, as long as Gabrielle wasn't so scared.

"Gabrielle, we've got to pass a bit long turns later, and if you're afraid, you can just close your eyes." Concerned that Gabrielle would panic, Westley informed her ahead of time and comforted her.

Let alone Gabrielle, even Westley himself felt a little nervous. Especially at the thought of Gabrielle being behind him, he felt worried even more.

No matter how unbreakable his armor was, there always had a weak point. And that weakness of his was Gabrielle.

"I'm not afraid, Westley." Sensing the concern in Westley's tone, Gabrielle gave him a firm answer.

And what she said wasn't just a white lie to make Westley feel better. With Westley in front of her to protect her, she really felt a lot less concerned.

Westley was the man she could totally count on. As long as he was with her, she would no longer be afraid of any dangerous situation.

It was also what a husband and wife were meant to do, sharing bliss and misfortune together.

"I'm sure." Gabrielle gave out another reassurance. At the same time, she tried her best to keep her eyes open and scanned the situation around her.

What she hoped for right now was to be the one who could help Westley with something, although the view here was really not good at all.

Although Gabrielle tried hard to look around, she couldn't discover or hear very much. So, she just threw her arms around Westley tightly, leaned her head on his back, and closed her eyes to feel the surrounding situation.

The sound of water gurgling, wind blowing, trees rustling, and animals growling around filled her ears.

And what Gabrielle needed to do now was to find out whether there were any other sounds, such as human voices or footsteps, from these messy voices.

"Why did you loosen the rope, Gabrielle?" Westley asked as he was frightened by Gabrielle's move.

In this case, it would be safer for Gabrielle to grab the rope than to hug and hold onto him. After all, she might be forced to lose her grip under the impact of the water, and she could be flung at any time.

"Westley, don't speak. I will hold you tightly, and I won't let go. Now I want to hear if anyone is coming," Gabrielle said seriously.

Since they had been away for so long, and the people from Campbell Family had already arrived at the village, Bain would definitely find out that she had run away soon.

Although she wasn't the enemy of Bain, she did have the connection with his implacable foe, after all. So she could be counted as his enemy indirectly.

After all, Bain could use her identity to negotiate terms with Campbell Family or even to threaten them.

But now, she had escaped.

So Gabrielle knew for sure that Bain would send his people to chase them as soon as he found out, no matter what it took. And even if he couldn't catch them alive, he would find a way to kill them. In short, he would definitely not let her go, and Westley would also be included. At the thought of this, Gabrielle's heart trembled with fear.

"Westley, all you need to do is just take me out of here as soon as possible. Don't worry about anything else. We won't be separated so easily," Gabrielle said firmly.

"If you say so, Gabrielle. Then hang on tight and never let go!" Under the faint moonlight, Westley began to search his way forward with a big stick to avoid bumping into the stones in front of him.

However, it was not easy to cross because of the rushing current and numerous large stones. They had been stalled there for over ten minutes and had bumped against the stones nearly three times.

Once Gabrielle was almost flung away, but luckily, Westley reacted quickly and grabbed her hand immediately. Otherwise, she would totally be

flushed into the river.
