Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 323

Gabrielle didn't take a taxi after leaving the Jones mansion. She instead just walked slowly along the path outside the mansion.

As a child, she really had a good relationship with Bryce. They were like real brothers and sisters who got along with each other. After all, Bryce had chosen her from among all the girls in the orphanage.

They were always playing on the roadside outside the Jones mansion. There was a small community park about one or two kilometers down the road.

There were amusement facilities for children and Bryce liked to take her there. He would drive away those children who were bullying her, and then let her have a good time.

Bryce was really good to her back then, like a doting brother who was very concerned and considerate to his sister. But as time passed, he changed completely. When did it happen? Gabrielle couldn't quite remember and understand. One day, Bryce just started keeping his distance from her, getting farther and farther away from her, until he completely ignored her.

Maybe it started from the moment when she had a crush on him and stopped treating him as her brother.

When Gabrielle arrived at the community park, she was feeling so tired. She then sat down on one of the flowerbeds. It was afternoon, so many parents came to play with their children.

There were children of different ages, innocent young girls and boys who were very happy and just enjoying the moment. Gabrielle just watched them play, thinking about her childhood with Bryce.

At that time, they were as carefree and happy as these children.

"Do you have children at home?" an old lady suddenly sat beside Gabrielle and asked her while smiling.

Gabrielle turned around and looked at the lady. She was in her late forties or early fifties. She was with her grandchild who was playing with the other children, so she came to talk with Gabrielle.

"Hello, ma'am. We don't have children at home, but we live close to here. My brother and I used to play here when we were children," Gabrielle answered, also giving the old lady a warm smile.

"I was right then. I think you're still a student. You don't look like a mother at all," the lady responded.

"Ma'am, are you taking a child to play here?" Gabrielle looked at the lady and asked respectfully.

She was not really feeling well when she decided to come here. She got too tired yesterday, and today, she hadn't eaten anything yet. She was hungry and tired. But upon seeing the jovial and untroubled children, she immediately felt relaxed and happy.

It was really true that a child's smile could take away all the pain and sadness a person was feeling.

"My granddaughter is playing there, she is four years old. I was picking her up from the kindergarten and she wanted to play here for a few minutes as usual," the lady said while pointing at the little girl in a pink coat.

What a lovely little girl! She could definitely make people feel better by just seeing her lovely face.

"I also loved playing here when I was still a child. I was very happy every time I was here," Gabrielle shared. She couldn't help recalling the past.

The park was along their way to school, and since Bryce knew that she liked to play here, he would always ask the driver to stop in the park. The two of them would then play for more than ten minutes before going home.

On the weekends, Bryce would also take her to the park to play, with the housekeeper accompanying them.

She had too many memories here. If she didn't see the park, she wouldn't remember it all, though. The memories just came rushing in as she saw the park again a few minutes ago.

Even if Wendy didn't beg her, she would still ask Westley to help in finding Bryce because Bry

ce had treated her well before.

Suddenly, Gabrielle remembered Lance, so she decided to call him first.

She took out her phone, walked towards a more secluded place, and called Lance.

Lance answered the call immediately. It was really in his nature. He answered calls as fast as he could, unless he was really busy.

"Gabrielle."

"Lance, have your people found Bryce already?" Gabrielle didn't beat around the bush anymore. She asked him directly.

"Gabrielle, I'm really sorry but we haven't found Bryce yet. It's more likely that something bad has truly happened to them." Lance was also worried. He hated Bryce, but he still didn't want him to be in trouble.

After all, they were cousins by blood, so he was really determined to find Bryce.

"Something bad has happened to them?" Gabrielle asked, her voice sounding so worried.

As she remembered Wendy's words, it was more possible that she hadn't reached out to Bryce for more than half a month already.

"Lance, can we inform the police?" Gabrielle thought that if they could find Bryce on their own without asking Westley for help, then they should do it.

If she told Westley, Westley could definitely find Bryce.

However, as Westley had said, if he ever found Bryce, he would smash him into pieces first before he returned his body to the Jones family. Wendy would really collapse to death if that happened.

Although Gabrielle hated the Jones family and Wendy was added to the list just now, she still didn't want to see her foster mother die in too much agony because of Bryce's death.

"Inform the police?" Lance was stunned by what Gabriele just said. He kept silent for a while.

"Gabrielle, there are more than two other groups of people looking for Bryce, and we couldn't even know their identities. If one of them was responsible for Bryce's sudden disappearance, then it only means that they are very powerful. The police in Thailand will not meddle in this. They wouldn't dare to," Lance explained the situation to her calmly.

Gabrielle finally understood the situation. International issues involved more interests and power that ordinary people wouldn't dare to interfere.

"Lance, what should we do now? What if I go to Thailand? I want to find him myself." Gabrielle was obviously worried and anxious that she even came up with this idea.

"Gabrielle, what are you talking about? Don't be silly! What will you do in Thailand? There is nothing that you can help with. Do you understand? Don't go there!" Lance suddenly became afraid that Gabrielle might really go to Thailand on her own.

After all, Gabrielle was a woman of her words; and upon hearing what she just said, Lance really had a reason to be afraid.

"Lance, I'm really feeling too anxious now," Gabrielle admitted.

She wasn't worrying too much about Bryce's life. She just wanted him to go back to the Jones family safely.

Gabrielle couldn't wait for that day when there would be no guilt and worry in her heart and she would be completely relieved. She just wanted to move on with her life.

"Gabrielle, listen to me. Don't be impulsive. Don't go to Thailand alone. It's not safe for you to go there, and you can't really help in finding Bryce by doing that. I've already sent more people to look for him. You will only make trouble if you go there. Do you understand?" Lance said warningly.

Gabrielle remained silent for a while. "Lance, I know that. I won't go there alone."

Although she really wanted to go there by herself, she would listen to Lance. She didn't know anything about it anyway. If she went there, she would only cause more trouble instead of helping.

"Where are you now, Gabrielle?" Lance could hear the children's cheerful voices.
