Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 80

Gabrielle furiously left the hospital and took a taxi to the one and only place she could think of at the moment: Sloane's apartment.

She was boiling with the thought of the unfair situation Westley had put her in. "He's unbelievable!" said Gabrielle, who was at the point of having a breakdown.

"If he thinks he can trick me into doing what he wants, he is dealing with the wrong person."

As Gabrielle was wrathfully cursing her husband, Westley was sitting in the study of Vineyard Villa, religiously looking at his phone and expecting a call from her.

Unaware she had other plans, he dejectedly picked up his phone when he got a call from the bodyguard in the hospital.

"Where is Gabrielle?" asked Westley with a sharp tone. Westley had organized it all. He made sure Gabrielle was restricted from entering Sloane's ward. If she wanted to see her best friend who still hadn't woken up, all she had to do was call Westley.

That was why Westley was earnestly waiting for Gabrielle's call.

"Mr. Morris, Miss Jones left when we told her your permission was required."

"What? She left?" Westley couldn't believe that his plan to threaten Gabrielle with Sloane failed. Once again, Gabrielle proved her stubbornness.

"Mr. Morris, what shall we do now?" The bodyguards could sense Westley fuming through the phone.

"Just keep an eye on Sloane for now, and don't let anyone see her." Westley ordered the bodyguards and hung up the phone.

He then asked Alvin to find Gabrielle's whereabouts. Unsurprisingly, she had gone to Sloane's apartment.

Gabrielle arrived at Sloane's apartment with two bags full of groceries she got from the nearby supermarket. She knew staying at Sloane's apartment for a few days was the right thing to do.

As Gabrielle got off the elevator, she was startled by the figure standing near Sloane's door. She was shocked to see Benny. She moved forward while trying to calm herself down.

"What the hell are you doing here, Benny? Don't you know Sloane is still in a coma?" Gabrielle expressed herself coldly.

"I know about Sloane, and I know I can't see her in the hospital. I just came here..."

"You were smoking here?" Gabrielle's eye caught the cigarette butts besides his feet. "What the hell, Benny! Don't you know you can't smoke like this here? People could have complained about it." Gabrielle got the picture that Benny had smoked almost an entire pack, and that he had been here for some time now.

She was least bothered about Benny's smoking habits. But she wasn't expecting him to smoke a whole pack of cigarettes standing there.

"I'm sorry, I was being so careless. Gabrielle, I know you have issues with me, but..."

"Issues?" Gabrielle retorted. "I don't have any issues, Benny. I just don't want to see you right now. And what are you doing here? Are you here to repent? Well, there's no point in doing that. If you really feel sorry then you better kneel and beg for forgiveness when Sloane wakes up." Gabrielle's unwelcoming tone was sharp-edged on Benny.

"By the way, Benny, instead of standing here like this, shouldn't you be with Estelle now?"

Gabrielle was uncomfortable with Benny's sudden presence. She wanted him to leave as soon as possible.

"Actually, Estelle wanted to apologize for all that happened. She wants to invite you over for dinner." Benny looked at Gabrielle gravely.

"Apologize?" Gabrielle gave him an unpleasant smile.

"All this must be very amusing to you. But let me remind you, Estelle has admitted to hiring those three women. Sloane is in a coma because of them, because of Estelle. What she had done won't be forgotten. Those three women are still locked in the police station and

can't be released so easily. So don't expect any forgiveness from me. Both of you should ask forgiveness from Sloane instead." Gabrielle was provoked. Those three women were locked under Westley's order. Who would dare to release them?
