Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 109 Caring Cousin

The ambiance in the hospital was calm and Serene. The hospital walls, which were painted white were clean which gave the whole environment some sort of coziness. Gabrielle and Lance made their way to Sloane’s ward. Outside the ward, two bodyguards were charged with the responsibility of watching her. When they recognized Gabrielle, they glared at her coldly.

“Miss Jones, Mr. Morris hasn’t allowed you to visit her yet,” one of them spoke to her.

Her face turned red with anger. “How can they prevent me from seeing ny best friend?” she thought to herself. She turned to look at Lance with embarrassment written all over her face. “I’m sorry, Lance. We won’t be able to see Sloane. She is still in a coma.”

“I don’t understand why Westley is doing this to you. Is Sloane not your best friend? So what’s the relationship between the both of them?” Lance asked as he contorted his face in a wide frown. Right from time, he didn’t like Westley and the fact that he lorded over people made him hate him even more.

He coerced his cousin into marrying him and now, he even banned her from seeing her close friend. What else did he want from her? 10:17

“This is just too much, Lance thought deeply as he shook his head in pity.

“Don’t misunderstand me. Lance. Westley has nothing to do with her. He just doesn’t want me to see her yet… It’s nothing serious. We’ve had little misunderstandings in the last few days.” She still hadn’t apologized to him yet. Besides, it seemed she offended him again last night unknowingly.

It was true that the last fight they had had not been settled yet, and now, a new one had taken over. With the way things were at the moment, it would be more difficult to see her

friend

“I don’t understand your husband, Gabrielle. You both had a fight and he threatened you with Sloane? What kind of man is he? How can he be so petty?” he asked angrily. Lance hated men who threatened women. He even treated them with contempt.

At that instance, Gabrielle saw that the two bodyguards looked at her cousin with resentment. She quickly tugged at his sleeve and urged him to stop speaking ill of Westley, “Lance, stop. It’s okay,” she tried to stop him from talking

She was visibly worried that the two bodyguards would beat him up to protect Westley’s honor. After all, he had spoken

badly about their boss and they were to do their best to protect his reputation.

“You know I’m just saying the truth, Gabrielle. It would be better if they told him that marrying a wife is not for fun and intimidation. You’re also a human being and he should respect you,” he said bluntly. He wasn’t scared of the bodyguards or the tough front they had put up. They could tell Westley what he had said for all he cared.

He didn’t mind fighting with them and it would be better if they complained to their boss. If he tried anything funny, he would teach Westley how to be a husband to his cousin face to face. ‘If he doesn’t know how to be a good husband or does not want to be good to her, he should just let her go!’ he thought with annoyance.
