Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 497

Gabrielle was moved by what Doctor Maniac had said. It was a good thing that he was there, or Rose could have died.

It was her fault. She had put Rose in danger. And now, Doctor Maniac got involved.

"Thank you, Doctor Maniac. Thank you for saving Rose. I am indebted to you and Rose. If you need anything, don't think twice in telling me." Gabrielle's words came from the bottom of her heart.

"No, no, no. You don't owe me anything. Saving Rose was my decision. And don't forget, it was your husband's men who saved me and Rose. We owe our lives to them," Doctor Maniac said calmly.

He had been a doctor for a long time. Until now, his countenance had conveyed indifference toward his patients. He had been a cold-blooded man.

And yes, what he had said was true. Bain's men almost killed Rose. They abandoned her after hurting her. He could have done nothing, after all, Rose had been mean to him.

But he couldn't just sit and watch her die. He had to save her!

"Just the same, if you need anything, tell me. You are safe here." Gabrielle didn't say anything more. Doctor Maniac may look dispassionate but she knew that he could see through everything.

Didn't he survive in the forest? He wouldn't be able to do that had he been stupid.

He was just good at hiding his feelings.

"I know. It is the Campbell Family's place so it must be safe." Doctor Maniac had no doubt about it.

"By the way, how's your leg?" Gabrielle asked tentatively. She really wanted to ask if his leg injury had disabled him but she didn't want to sound impolite.

"My leg is healing well. They had taken out the bullet from it. In the future I can stand as before. But my full use of my leg will take some time." He was straightforward about his injury, being a doctor himself.

Gabrielle had great faith in his medical skills. He was a genius in his profession. Having him here gave her hope for Sloane.

"Doctor Maniac, can I ask you something?" Gabrielle said as she looked him in the eye.

The doctor nodded and prodded her. "Yes, what is it?" He could sense how important to her to know the answer to her question.

"What are you going to do after this? Do you want to stay here? Or do you have other plans?" In her mind, Gabrielle wanted to ask if he could go back to Antawood with them.

Doctor Maniac already knew what was in Gabrielle's mind. Westley had previously spoken to him about taking him and Rose to Antawood together with them. He also said he would arrange everything should they decide to do so.

He added that they shouldn't worry about what they had been before Antawood. There, they could lead new lives.

The offer, Doctor Maniac admitted to himself, was tempting.

"Mr. Morris had already talked to me about it. He saved our lives. We will do things as he has instructed. We will go to Antawood with you," Doctor Maniac said in an acquiescence tone.

Upon hearing this, Gabrielle looked at Westley. Her eyes were glowing with warmth and excitement. "Is that true? Are you taking Doctor Maniac and Rose back to Antawood?"

"Yes, it's true. But of course, it is still up to them to decide if they want to leave with us. Rose is still in a coma. Will we be able to ask her when she comes out of it? I can't force her to go back with us. Until some other arrangement is made, it would be good for them to go with us." When Westley met them for the first time, he had already conferred with Doctor Maniac about his plan. He also told him that he wanted to ask Rose about that when she woke up.
