Lock You In My Heart Chapter 454


    No matter how well-prepared Gabrielle was, the scar-faced man terrified her.


    The man had a ferocious look, a scar extending from his chin to his forehead. His European features


    made up for his wed face, making him both intimidating and handsome at the same time.


    “Gabrielle, this is our boss, the Scarlet Scar. We call him Bain,” Lance introduced.


    ‘Scarlet Scar?’


    Gabrielle had finally figured out why his house was painted in a bright crimson color.


    “It’s nice to meet you, sir… I’m Gabrielle Jones.” She calmly greeted the boss, thinking of why he had


    attached the word scarlet to his name.


    He appeared like a viin from the movies and story books. Lance told her he could make real


    criminals obey his orders. The dense forest was full of them.


    But after meeting and speaking with a more powerful individual like Wilson, Gabrielle wasn’t so


    surprised anymore.


    “Miss Jones. Hello.” Bain gazed at Gabrielle with his dark brown eyes, with an amused expression.


    ”I like your guts, Miss Jones. Most people would be afraid just by looking at me. It’s no surprise that


    Lance is fond of you.” Bain praised Gabrielle for her bravery.


    He had a face that scared not only women, but also cowardly men.


    Since all the vigers here had rap sheets, the were not afraid of anything and would do whatever they


    wanted.


    So he didn’t faze them.


    Gabrielle obviously came from a prominent family. It surprised him that she had the courage toe all


    this way when she looked like she couldn’t even hurt a fly.


    He couldn’t help but stare at Gabrielle again.


    “Bain, Gabrielle is my cousin, and she’s Bryce’s sister. We havee for him. How is he now?” Lance


    felt ufortable as Bain stared Gabrielle down. He couldn’t tell what the boss was thinking.


    “Lance, do you think it’ll be safer to take him to your ce than to leave him in my care? There’s no


    safer ce in Bangkok than here. Am I right? It’s also why you guys came here. To seek refuge so


    those men can’t follow you anymore. But if you insist, I certainly won’t stop you from taking him away.”


    He didn’t try to persuade them; he simply reminded Lance of the situation they were in.


    And he was right. It was so much dangerous outside the forest.


    Especially since Lance had been hunted down before.


    “I know, Bain. But I have to let Gabrielle see Bryce first and we can decide what to do next.” Lance was


    well aware of the danger they would face when they left the forest.


    Staying here would be the best option for now.


    “Well, he’s with Doctor Maniac. You can go without me. Your rooms are ready too and Rose will take


    you thereter.” Bain had prepared everything for them.


    “Thank you for this, Bain.”


    “Don’t be. After all, you got in trouble because of mest time. We’re here to help each other out.” Bain


    spoke with loyalty.


    That was the foundation of their brotherhood, loyalty.


    Men who are faithful and loyal to their allies would always receive respect and more followers. And this


    strengthened their bond as a gang.


    “Rose!”


    A woman with short golden hair and a seemingly cold aura walked in. She looked at Lance and


    Gabrielle, and then faced Bain.


    “Bain, you called?”


    “Take Lance and his cousin to their room and then lead them to Doctor Maniac’s. They want to see


    Bryce,” Bain ordered.


    “Alright, Bain. It’s been a while, Lance. And you, pretty girl,e with me.” Rose smiled a bit as she


    stared at Gabrielle.


    “Hello, Rose.” Gabrielle greeted her politely.


    “Let’s go. Doctor Maniac’s ward is on the other side.” Rose turned around and headed towards the exit.


    “We’ll be on our way now.” Lance spoke and Bain nodded shortly after.


    “Go ahead. See you in the morning.”


    The two visitors followed Rose. Gabrielle had been keeping a close eye on the surroundings. They


    would get res from some vigers sitting outside their homes.


    It made her feel unwee. It was like walking identally into a secret base. People were unfriendly.


    “Are you scared, Miss Jones?” Rose teased.


    ”Everything’s fine.”


    ”You don’t have to hide it. It’s normal for you to feel nervous around here. One time, there was a girl


    who had entered the ce by mistake, she got terrified and cried right away. You’re actually a tough


    one. As expected of Lance’s cousin.” Rose recalled.


    Hearing this, Gabrielle gave her a faint smile. ”Thank you for saying that. To be honest, I’m not really


    that tough.”


    “I don’t usually say good things to people, but you deserved it.” Rose coolly smiled.


    ”Even though we’ve killed people once or twice, rest assured, there’s no need to be scared. The killings


    have ended and there are no more fights. It’s Bain’s rules. If they ever break the rules, they’ll be


    evicted. This ce is their final refuge, after all. Most of them are internationally wanted fugitives and if


    they go outside the forest, they would be captured or worse, get murdered. A lot of people here have


    criminal records, but they’re not exactly bad guys. I don’t know if you understood what I meant, but


    please, don’t judge a book by its cover. They have their own reasons. You’re absolutely safe here,”


    Rose exined in detail.


    Gabrielle believed she had understood. People like them were prone to acting in ways that were


    against their will. But they still killed people. She wouldn’t feel sympathy for them.


    “Rose, I get what you mean. I won’t think less of them.” Gabrielle knew she didn’t have to say anything


    more.


    On top of that, she disliked interfering in other people’s businesses. The people here were definitely not


    to be messed with. She didn’t want to cause any trouble.


    ”This will be your room. Don’t expect too much though, it’s not cozy like the city. Only basic necessities


    are provided. You can call me if you need anything.” Rose led them to a white iron building, where they


    were going to spend their following days.


    ”It’s okay, we can manage,” Gabrielle replied. They were on the run so they couldn’t ask for more.


    “I like that you’re quite sensible, Miss Jones. Now that you’ve seen the room, we can head to the ward.”


    Rose grinned. The two followed her again towards where Doctor Maniac was.

    “Rose, I haven’t told you my name. It’s Gabrielle Jones, please call me Gabrielle.” Gabrielle felt like she


    and Rose would get along.


    ”Gabrielle…what a lovely name.”
