Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 606

Gabrielle was relieved to find out that Star could recover as before.

At that time, Remy came up and after examining Star carefully, he confirmed that there was nothing wrong with him.

“There is nothing serious. Star is fine. He just needs to have a good rest. Try not to make him hype up. I’ll change the dressings for him every other day. Also, try not to let the wounds touch water. You can use a wet towel to wipe his body daily.” After giving some instructions, Remy told Gabrielle how to feed the medicine prescribed by the doctor before.

Nodding her head, Gabrielle said, “I’ll keep that in mind, Remy.” Gabrielle wrote down every single word he said. In fact, she was afraid to make mistakes which might make more serious damage to Star.

Seeing the worried look on Gabrielle’s face, Remy knew exactly what she was thinking. Therefore, he consoled, “Gabrielle, you don’t need to be so nervous. Star is emotionally stable now. Besides, it’s just a trauma. There’s nothing for you to worry as long as you don’t let the wounds get wet.”

Feeling worried, Gabrielle tried to ask Star in English slowly, “Star, how are you feeling? Do you want to have something to eat?”

These days, Gabrielle thought that it would be too troublesome for them if she spoke in English because she would have to wait for Westley to translate to Star. Moreover, he might not be at home when he was getting stuck in work. It wouldn’t be comfortable for them to communicate like this.

The only solution was to find a teacher for Star as soon as possible.

Hearing her question, Star was silent for a while before he spat out a few words heavily. “I’m not hungry.”

His words surprised Gabrielle a little. It seemed like Star could understand English. Maybe he was just not proficient in it.

“Star, we’re going to see Grandpa and Grandma tonight. This is my good friend, Rose and she will stay with you at home. Is that okay for you?” Gabrielle started introducing Rose to Star.

Rose probably knew that Star was more familiar with Thai. So, she started talking to him in Thai. “Hello, Star. My name is Rose. We are going to become good friends in the future, right?”

The words she said in Thai language was greatly approved by Star which got them closer instantly.

Immediately, Star greeted Rose obediently, “Nice to meet you too, Rose. I’m Star. I think we are going to be good friends in the future.”

With a wide smile on her face, Rose said sincerely, “Happy to hear that, Star.”

After that, she turned to look at Gabrielle and spoke in English. “Where can I find a child like him, Gabrielle? I want one too.”

“I can assure you that you don’t want to know about it. You should have seen that scene at that time. It’s too bloody. I wish I won’t experience it again in my life.” Although it had been a long time, Gabrielle still didn’t want to recall the scene as it was too violent and cruel.

It was too brutal for an adult like her. She didn’t intend to face that for the second time, let alone a kid like Star. It was a good thing that he lost the cruel memories.

“Never mind about it. I don’t want to go through it. I’ve experienced too many cruel and bloody scenes. To be honest, I’m so sick of those things. But Star is a different matter. I mean he’s just a child. I can’t imagine what that kid has experienced. You saved an angel and you are an angel yourself, Gabrielle.” Rose meant every word she said.

Indeed, the kind and tenacious personality of Gabrielle made her very extraordinary. The ones who were close to her would discover that she was really unique and special.

Rose deeply believed that Gabrielle was an angel. If it weren’t for her, she might still be living a miserable life in the middle of the dark forest.

She would have been living that kind of life which had no ending.

Fortunately for her, she met Gabrielle, who brought her back to a pretty normal life.

Gabrielle asked for Rose’s help nervously. “Rose, please stay here tonight to take care of Star. I promise that we’ll come back as early as we can and then we can celebrate the day together afterwards.”

In truth, she wasn’t sure if they could get out in the middle since it was her first time atten

ding the annual family reunion with the Morris family. She didn’t know the tradition of the Morris family.

Glancing at Westley, Gabrielle said out her thoughts. “Westley, is it possible for us to come back earlier?”

In a comforting voice, Westley replied, “Yes, we can. We’ll come back after having the dinner. I’m sure Grandma won’t say anything.”

In fact, there was a tradition of staying up late or even all night tonight in Morris’ Mansion so that they could accompany Miley. Since Westley’s mother was there, it wouldn’t be a problem for the couple to leave earlier.

Nodding her head, Gabrielle said excitedly, “Okay, if so, we can come back sooner to accompany Star.”

“Everything is up to you, honey.”

Although Westley had reassured her that everything would be okay, Gabrielle couldn’t help but feel nervous. After all, this was the first time that she was going to attend the occasion in Morris’ Mansion. What was more, Mrs. Morris didn’t like her so much till now. If she disliked her even more, she would feel so bad.

Holding her hand, Westley asked, “Are you worrying about my Mom?” Westley could tell what Gabrielle was worried about just by looking at the uneasy frown on Gabrielle’s face. There was only one person in the Morris family who didn’t like her.

Licking her lips helplessly, Gabrielle admitted, “Kind of. I mean she doesn’t like me in the first place. Plus, we have been away for quite a long time and we came back only on the day when people celebrate the event. I’m afraid that she will pick on me and hate me more for that reason.”

Westley caressed her hair in a soothing way as he consoled her, “Don’t worry about her. You don’t have to make everyone like you. I love you and that’s enough.”

In a low voice, Gabrielle uttered coquettishly, “You always say those kind of words to coax me.”

Gently pinching her nose, Westley said, “Well, you like it, don’t you?”

Gabrielle blushed and said, “Yeah, I like it.” To be honest, Gabrielle even loved it. Westley was pretty good at saying those kind of sweet words, which could make her super happy.

Gabrielle checked the time and uttered, “It’s getting late. We should prepare heading to Morris’ Mansion now, or else, we’ll upset them.”

After taking a shower, Gabrielle changed into a red sweater and a black dress, which looked quite festive on her. Westley was wearing a black suite with the red tie to match Gabrielle’s red sweater.

Then, Gabrielle changed a red night robe for Star. She deliberately bought it in the shopping mall in Bangkok yesterday so that he could wear it on the occasion.

When she finished changing Star’s robe, she placed a gift under his pillow.

This child would be their child from now on.

After packing the things up, both of them went downstairs to leave for the celebration. When they got down, they saw that Doctor Manic was presently talking with Remy in the living room.

Looking around the villa, she found that red lanterns were hanging inside and outside of the room. Everything looked as if it was overflowing with happiness.

Looking at Remy, Gabrielle asked, “Remy, are you staying here for dinner today?” Of course, she knew very well that he would go back to the Davis family.

Hearing her words, Remy joked, “If I do stay here, I am sure that I won’t be able to go back to the Davis family again and if that happens, my grandfather will remove me from the family list.”

Gabrielle glanced at Remy with a smile and said, “Why don’t we go together later?”

“Sure. Why not?” Remy decided to go back to the Davis family because if he didn’t return this time, he would really get kicked out as unfilial person.

“Doctor Maniac, I want to ask you something. Have you visited my friend Sloane?” Even though Sloane was always on Gabrielle’s mind, she didn’t get the time to ask Doctor Maniac about her.

“She’s getting better than I expected. I’ll tell you the details later.” In fact, Doctor Maniac had gone to the hospital twice and Sloane’s condition was indeed better than he had expected.

In a hopeful voice, Gabrielle asked, “So, you mean Sloane might wake up earlier than we expected?”

With a smile, Doctor Maniac replied, “Yeah, possibly.”
