Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 583

Westley answered the phone from the corridor, so Gabrielle entered the ward alone.

The nurse was leaving when Gabrielle walked in after she had cleaned Nellie. Nellie had woken up, and she looked pale as she lay on the bed. She whispered something as if she was talking to the baby while she touched her belly gently.

The moment Gabrielle walked in, Nellie turned around and glared at her subconsciously. Nellie was somehow bewildered by the strange face for a moment.

"Excuse me, are you looking for someone?" Nellie asked warily.

Noticing the alertness in her eyes, Gabrielle relaxed a little.

That meant Nellie was not a lovely but dumb woman.

"I'm certainly here to see you, Miss Collins." Gabrielle walked to her bedside, looking at Nellie casually and then at her belly. She had probably been pregnant for five months.

"Do I know you?" Nellie obviously wanted no one to gawk at her tummy like this, so she reflexively pulled over the comforter.

Gabrielle asked the nurse to give them a moment and then drew a chair to sit on.

"Don't get scared. I'm not here to do you harm. My name is Gabrielle Jones, and your baby will grow up knowing me as his aunt." She calmly introduced herself.

"You must be Bryce's sister, raised by the Jones family, right?" Nellie's aggression towards Gabrielle dissipated.

A life of always hiding had turned Nellie's insecurities into something else. She was never comfortable around every new person she met.

"I never thought that Bryce would mention me. I bet what he said about me wasn't something pleasing especially when you think of how much he hates me." Truly, there was no humor in that. Bryce despised her deeply. Hence, he couldn't have said anything positive. Gabrielle was certain.

The only surprise was Bryce's mention of her in front of Nellie.

Bryce hated her so much, and he should be indifferent about mentioning her ever in his life.

"Miss Jones, I beg to differ. Bryce might despise you to extremes but I didn't hear him say anything bad about you." More precisely, Nellie was meeting Gabrielle for the first time so they didn't like each other too extensively.

On top of that, Bryce greatly disliked her, meaning he must have said a lot of bad things about her to Nellie. That of course made Nellie dislike her.

"Well, from my point of view, you and Bryce have a good connection." Gabrielle sounded a little displeased from how she sounded, but facts were facts.

For a long time, Bryce had a crush on Nellie, and she was his Muse. Else, he wouldn't have risked offending the Morris family just like that. After all, a commoner would never have the guts to offend such a family.

"I wouldn't have kept the baby were it not for the love we have for each other," Nellie responded calmly. But on mentioning the baby, her face turned tender.
