Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 612

Gabrielle couldn't hear a word these two men were saying to each other since they were speaking in Thai.

However, she was amazed to discover how soft and gentle Dr. Maniac's voice sounded. It was a stark contrast to that ugly name he had.

In fact when Gabrielle first met Doctor Maniac, she immediately felt he was a pretty gentle man. There was really nothing about his appearance that would make anyone think he was a "maniac".

That said, when it came to medicine, he had this habit of wanting to dig deep into things, which was often scary.

That was the real meaning of his name, "maniac". It simply stood out for his enthusiasm for science

"Doctor Maniac, Star, I'm back," Gabrielle announced as she walked into the room.

"Glad to see you back, Gabrielle. Hope you had a good time at your family reunion dinner party." Doctor Maniac welcomed her warmly.

"Well, it wasn't bad actually. Thank you very much for taking care of Star." Gabrielle was truly grateful to the man. She couldn't help but notice how happy Star seemed to be with Dr. Maniac.

"You don't have to thank me, Gabrielle, really. I like Star very much. It's a pleasure for me to take care of him." Doctor Maniac really meant it. He liked Star very much.

The young boy was rather calm, sensible and very smart.

Who would not like such an adorable child?

Before living in the forest, Doctor Maniac lived cloistered in his laboratory. He spent his days and nights experimenting again and again. At the time, he had little chance of meeting people, let alone children. When he went to live in the forest, his chances were even less.

It was because of this that he didn't like children very much. However, Star was an exception.

The kid was so adorable that even someone like Doctor Maniac, who seldom talked to children, instantly became fond of him.

The two had no communication blockage as they both spoke Thai. Moreover, Star had a genuine interest in medicine, which made the communication between the two go even smoother.

Doctor Maniac was extremely happy to be with such a kid.

When Star saw Gabrielle, he greeted her gently in English, "Mom."

Gabrielle was stunned upon hearing what the kid just said. She ran straight to Star and looked at him in disbelief. "Star, w-what did you just call me?"

"Mom."

The little boy repeated what he said. Although his accent wasn't quite right and sounded a bit awkward, what he said moved Gabrielle all the same.

"Oh, my God! You... you really called me Mom! Star, this is the best gift I've ever received." Gabrielle was overwhelmed with emotions. She was about to take Star in her arms and cover him with kisses when she recalled that he was injured.

Gabrielle turned to look at Doctor Maniac and asked seriously, "You're the one who taught him English, isn't it?"

"Yes, you're right. The fact is Star has a great talent for learning. I just taught him a few words and he began to speak more or less fluently. He's quite impressive." Doctor maniac was a man slow to praise. So if he praised Star, it meant the little boy really deserved it.

At this moment, a thought suddenly crossed Gabrielle's mind and she glanced at Doctor Maniac expectantly.

Of course, Dr. Maniac quickly noticed the way Gabrielle was looking at him. He gazed at her and said, "Gabrielle, whatever you want to say, just spit it out. I feel very nervous each time you look at me that way."

Gabrielle slowly sat at the edge of the bed and said in earnest, "I was curious to know how many languages you speak."

In fact, Gabrielle and Westley had been discussing about finding a teacher to help Star learn English. Dr. Maniac seemed to be the perfect man for that.
