Gabrielle stayed in the village for about four days. That period of rest did her much good as she was able to recover a lot. Now that she was doing much better, she was transferred to the hospital as arranged by Wilson.
The place was actually more of a high security villa than a conventional hospital. Moreover, Gabrielle could enjoy total privacy here. This villa belonged to the Campbell Family, and it was a safer place for the couple to stay.
One thing Gabrielle loved about this villa was the fact that it was next to the sea. From her bedroom, she had an unobstructed seaside view. Gabrielle enjoyed the sound of the waves crashing on the shore and the gentle sea breeze blowing off the coast.
There were two large swimming pools in the courtyard. One was a normal pool and the other was actually hot spring water. The latter was useful for healing wounds and for general skin care.
Gabrielle loved to lie in the spa pool. From there she also had a nice view on the sea. The sea was so splendid that Gabrielle often wondered whether she wasn't having a hallucination.
As she lay there in the pool, a deep mellow voice soon sounded next to her. "Do you like it here, Gabrielle?" Westley was sitting close to her, and just like her, he was admiring the sea.
Gabrielle nodded slightly. "It's really beautiful. I love it. I never thought that I could ever enjoy this magnificent sight. I can hardly believe that just yesterday, I was sleeping in that remote village. Just look at us now. Life's really full of surprises." Gabrielle sighed deeply. She was completely amazed at the moment.
This was the world of the rich people. They could realize their dreams easily. It was really unbelievable that she now had the chance to be part of it.
In fact, although the scenery was beautiful, Gabrielle still felt a little worried. She wondered how long they would be staying in Bangkok.
She turned to look at Westley and asked worriedly, "Westley, are we going to stay here forever? When will we be going back?"
"We won't go back until you have totally recovered. If we go back now, grandma will be worried when she sees you like that. Tell me... Do you have something urgent to do back home?" Westley was confused as to why Gabrielle asked such a question. Was she that eager to leave? He knew that the most important thing for her was her training class, so he asked Wilson to make all necessary arrangements so that her convalescence wouldn't affect her studies.
Gabrielle shrugged her shoulders lightly and said casually, "I just wanted to know." As she spoke, she forced a smile at Westley. She didn't want him to worry about her.
Westley held Gabrielle's waist and reassured her, "This place is owned by a branch company that belongs to Campbell Family. Don't worry. It's safe here." He thought that she was worried about her safety and privacy.
Westley therefore wanted her to feel reassured. This was the Campbell Family's territory, which meant they were absolutely safe here.
"I know. If there's one thing that Campbell Family can always guarantee, it's definitely security," Gabrielle said, smiling helplessly.
In the past, she never thought that Campbell Family in Italy was so powerful that it had businesses worldwide. After what happened in the forest, Gabrielle understood how wrong she was. The Campbells were really powerful, and not just in Italy. They had branches in other countries all over the globe.
She didn't have any idea of what Campbell Family was actually capable of before, mainly because she hadn't got to know them personally.
It was difficult to imagine how powerful the Campbell Family was and all the businesses they ran. The people who ran the system were even more impressive. Wilson was the vice president, and Bonnie was the eldest daughter of Campbell Family. Together, they ran this powerful family. That was just incredible.
Gabrielle had always considered Westley as someone extremely impressive. However, after knowing about the Campbell Family, she felt that Wilson and Bonnie were the true bosses. Things were definitely not always what they seemed.
Gabrielle was even more impressed at the thought that she could become part of this powerful family.
"Yeah. We're safe here. As long as we stay in the territories of the Campbell Family, we've nothing to worry about. Now, take a good rest." As he spoke, Westley gently stroked Gabrielle's back.
A few minor wounds on Gabrielle's body had already healed. The larger ones were not yet healed but that was just a matter of time. Despite the wounds, Gabrielle's skin was smoother than ever.
Westley intended to let her stay in this villa for a while, at least until her scars had almost completel
y disappeared. They weren't in any hurry to go back anyway.
