Lock You In My Heart novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293 Could Not Appreciate What Is Good

After staying three days, Gabrielle was discharged from the hospital. The reason was simple: the wound had started to heal and even had scab now. So there was no need to stay in the hospital anymore. She was relieved to leave as she never liked the strong smell of disinfectant

Westley knew that she was impatient and hated the hospital smells. And now that the wound on her back was not serious, she was allowed to go home. He took her back home in the morning.

In fact, even Westley didn’t like hospitals. Even at this occasion, he would have taken Gabrielle home. But he didn’t want to take any risk and wanted her to receive better treatment.

“Well, it’s actually more comfortable at home. Even the air is fresher and relieving,” After getting off the car, Gabrielle stood still in the yard. She raised her head, closed her eyes and took a deep breath in the open.

Westley got off the car and saw her standing. He thought she was being silly and cute as she stood there taking deep breaths. “Oh c’mon! Everywhere in the city it is the same air. Don’t be silly. I know you were smelling the disinfectant in the ward every day which is not pleasant. Still, you need to go inside now. It’s windy out here.” Westley came towards her. He took off his jacket and put it across her shoulders. He gently patted her head, urging her to go inside.

He wondered if he had seen such a silly woman in his life.

Looking at the black jacket on her shoulders and feeling the warmth of Westley’s body, Gabrielle felt something which was indescribable. i

She felt like she was wrapped in his warmth that would keep all the cold and wind away

It was winter in Antawood in December. Although it was a southern city, it was still quite cold and windy. And she’d still need to wear a thin sweater and coat.

Gabrielle was wearing a long, thick dress and knitwear. She didn’t feel very cold, but now when she put on Westley’s jacket, she realized that she needed to be warm.

Thinking of what he had just now said, Gabrielle felt his words were a little rude. He could have said it in a nice way. But, he had to say it so harshly.

That was Westley’s nature. He was a straight-forward and headstrong man.

“Huh! You are so boring and unromantic, ” Gabrielle muttered to herself. But it was loud enough for the man, who strode her into the room, to hear.

“Mrs. Morris, please go inside. It’s cold outside. You’ve just been discharged from the hospital and are likely to catch a cold.” When Sophie walked out, she saw Gabrielle standing in the yard while the wind kept blowing.

“Sophie, it’s okay. I’m fine. Actually, it’s not too cold. Look, there’s the sun and it’s quite warm now.” Gabrielle smiled. She felt very warm wrapped in his jacket.

“It’s not warm here but she won’t listen. Mr. Morris really cares about her, looking at Westley’s jacket on Gabrielle, Sophie thought to herself.

Sophie was sure that Westley had fallen in love with Gabrielle. He always took everything into consideration when it came to her. Even now he had put his jacket on her shoulders so caringly.

It was really good news. It was a relief now and Miley didn’t need to worry about anything “Okay, let’s go inside.” Gabrielle didn’t say anything. She turned and walked into the house, holding Sophie’s hand.

As days passed, it was getting colder and colder. Gabrielle realized that Westley’s birthday was approaching,

She thought of baking a cake for him. She was learning and needed to make a few attempts before the occasion. She wondered if he would like a cake baked by her.

 

That was not the only thing on her mind, Gabrielle was worried that the cake she prepared would turn out ugly and terrible. Then what? She would be too embarrassed to gift him that.

If the cake was ugly and tasteless, Westley would think that she couldn’t do anything right. And considering his bad temper and sharp tongue, she knew he would scom her.

Tust thinking of his words and reaction, in case the cake was a disaster, made her feel awful.

Gabrielle calmed herself down. She felt that she was thinking too much. She hadn‘t even prepared the cake yet. Then how could she know that he wouldn’t like it.

Putting all her doubts to rest, Gabrielle went into the room. Westley was sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee. There was a little black furry animal at his feet. It was like a sleeping dog or cat. Gabrielle’s attention was immediately on the little creature.

Suddenly, the sleeping dog was awakened by the enthusiastic sound that left Gabrielle’s lips. It got on its limbs and looked at her with a pair of black eyes. It started wagging its little tail happily.

Woof! Woof! Woof!”

The dog was very young and it kept barking with a cute sound. Anyone who saw the cute dog was surely going to love it.

“Puppy! Westley, it’s a puppy!” Gabrielle ran over excitedly and squatted near Westley. She gently held the puppy in her arms

It was clear that she really liked it and was very elated.

“I can see it too!” Westley said calmly. Seeing her so happy and excited, Westley raised his eyebrows slightly.

“Why is there a puppy in our house? When did you buy it?” Gabrielle turned to look at Westley and asked. She was cradling the puppy, unwilling to let go of

“Tucker sent it yesterday. It’s the puppy of Black. Take good care of it,” Westley said calmly as he saw her play with it.

“Black’s child been sent by Tucker! Why didn’t he wait for me to return? Tucker is really a good boy” Gabrielle liked Tucker a lot. She was planning to visit him soon,

After all, it was amazing to see a boy so sensible and obedient. It was very rare.

Westley slightly frowned as he listened to her. “Well, you were in the hospital. So I didn’t think it wise for him to visit you there. He had also brought you oranges.”

“Are those the oranges planted by his family? Then I want to have them. Where are they?” Gabrielle kept playing with the puppy and started looking for the oranges.

“Gabrielle, what’s wrong with you? Have you forgotten that you have just been discharged from the hospital? You have wounds on your back and need to take rest. You are still on medication and are not allowed to eat oranges,” Westley said coldly.

The bright smile on Gabrielle’s face froze. She looked at Westley and was baffled by his harsh words.

‘Why can’t I eat it? Tucker has brought them here himself, then what’s wrong!

I’ve never heard any doctor tell that people who get injured and are discharged from the hospital can’t eat oranges.

She decided not to eat any now. She could wait for a few days.

“In that case, I don’t want to eat any now. But you must keep some oranges for me. I want to eat them once I recover. ” Gabrielle tried to negotiate with him so that she could devour those oranges later.

Westley didn’t answer her. Tucker had brought many oranges. There were two large boxes and those could be stored for some time.

Westley was adamant about it. ‘Keeping in mind the traditional Chinese medicine perspective, oranges are cold. Gabrielle has just been discharged from the hospital with wounds on her back. Eating oranges in winter can be harmful to her. This woman cannot appreciate and understand what is good for her.”

“So, does this puppy have a name?” Gabrielle observed that Westley hadn’t replied to her. So she took the initiative to break the ice and diverted the topic.
