Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 574

Hearing Gabrielle's voice, Lance was confused for a moment and then became certain that it was Gabrielle.

"Gabrielle, is everything alright? I can't get hold of you. And it worries me," Lance inquired worriedly.

"I'm in Westley's company. I'm safe," Gabrielle replied solemnly.

Lance clearly knew that Westley meant a lot of things to Gabrielle. Whenever he was with her, he would rest assured she was safe.

Ultimately, Westley himself took Gabrielle away from the forest. He wouldn't do that himself.

In this regard, Westley had beaten him.

That meant that no matter what Lance did or thought, only one thing stood. He had lost.

Having lost to Westley was not such a bad thing.

"Gabrielle, I can tell that Westley loves you so much. He even had the guts to save you from the forest," Lance said seriously.

No matter how much Lance was hesitant to admit it but the truth was Westley was deeply in love with Gabrielle. He had to make peace with the fact that this man would make her nothing less than happy.

Sometimes, letting things be the way they were would also make her happy.

He was glad to see the little girl he had cared for many years grow up and find love in others.

All he ever wished for was that Gabrielle would be happy and content. Whichever man would give her that, he actually never cared.

"I know that Westley adores me, and I adore him back as much. I feel like what happened was meant to bring us closer. I should actually thank you for taking us to the forest, both of us had the chance to express love for each other," Gabrielle said truthfully.

These things wouldn't have happened. However, they happened because Lance had taken them to that place.

"Gabrielle, it's good as long as you're fine. I was uneasy when I couldn't reach you on phone. Bain... Forget it. Let's just bury the hatchet. " Lance didn't want to take a trip down memory lane to the forest. At least not with her.

Whatever happened must have been blood-soaked and barbarous.

He had witnessed Bain teach his men lessons. He shot them, and their blood and pieces of flesh were all over the place instantaneously. The scene was disturbing. It would have scared the living daylights out of Gabrielle if she had witnessed it. And she would probably have to cope with the nightmares for the rest of her life.

"Westley took me away from that dreadful place. Did you and Bryce get hurt by Bain's men in the forest?" Gabrielle asked worriedly.

Gabrielle was certain that Westley was concealing something from her. But how could she talk to him about it? Was she ready to risk their relationship's well-being? No.

Additionally, Lance and Bain were friends, so he wouldn't execute all of them.

"No. Bain is my friend. He just despises anyone from the Campbell Family. He can't touch anyone who's not directly related to that family. Bryce and I are already back in Antawood from the forest. Nothing is wrong now," Lance responded calmly.

They got out of the forest alive and went back to Antawood, but true enough, both of them came out with injuries. Lance didn't want to make Gabrielle worry about them, so he lied.

"Wel

l, I'm happy both of you are okay, so I'm relieved." Gabrielle had been concerned.

Gabrielle hadn't personally confirmed Westley's claim that the two of them had left the forest safe and returned to Antawood. Consequently, she was concerned.
