Gabrielle had wanted to see Nathan for a while now, but guards had constantly been standing guard outside his ward. No one was allowed to enter, so she had no choice but to just continue down the hall.
Judging by this alone, it was clear that Nathan was held in high regard within the Sanderson Family. The excessive security they had provided for him was a stark contrast to Victor's situation.
No wonder they had turned against each other and ended up as enemies.
"I just wanted to see him," Gabrielle told Melissa awkwardly. "He did save my life, and now he's in a coma. It's only right that I pay him a visit, but the Sanderson Family sent people to guard his room. There's no way I can get in."
Melissa knew that she was a sentimental person. Since Nathan had taken a bullet for her, it was inevitable for Gabrielle to take it as a lifetime debt.
"Don't get too upset about this, Gabrielle. And don't feel guilty, either. I watched Nathan grow up, so I know him very well. If there was something he didn't want to do, then no one can force him to. When he saved you, he did so by his own free will." She wanted to comfort the younger girl and ease some of her remorse.
"I know, I know." Gabrielle took a deep breath and resolved not to show Melissa any more of her weakness and anxiety. She could tell that Melissa didn't want her to worry too much.
"Well, in any case. I'll ask Jonathan to take you to see Nathan tomorrow." Melissa looked at her.
"Thank you," Gabrielle replied sincerely. "It's getting late, so I should be getting back. I'll talk to Westley later about the plan to spend some days with you. You can ask Mr. Walker, too, if he'd like to join us."
She was already looking forward to it, and hoped that the plan would push through.
"Sure, I'll mention it to him. Now, be careful on the road," Melissa warned her.
"Then, please have a good rest. I'll be taking my leave now. I'll come and see you again tomorrow." Gabrielle stood up and gave Melissa a small vow.
Westley was on the phone when Gabrielle came up to his car. The moment he saw her, he ended his call and opened the door for her.
"Have you finished talking with Ms. Glyn?" he asked.
"Yes. Were you taking a call from Antawood?" Gabrielle said as she settled into the passenger seat.
"That's right. Alvin said that Rose and Doctor Maniac are adapting very well."
Westley reached over to the back seat and took out a cup of milk tea, then handed it to Gabrielle.
The beverage was still quite warm. He must have just bought it. She took a sip happily, and her mood instantly lifted.
"Thank you for this. I love you." Gabrielle beamed at him.
"You're welcome. I'm happy that you're happy." Westley smiled and ruffled her hair.
