Lock You In My Heart Chapter 473
Feeling even guiltier for what happened, Lance regretted bringing Gabrielle to the forest once again.
He didn’t mind putting himself in danger, as long as Gabrielle would be safe. If anything bad would
happen to her, he wouldn’t forgive himself.
“I’m sorry, Gabrielle… it’s all my fault. I never should have brought you here.”
“Don’t say that, Lance. All I want now is to go back to Westley safely. Stop ming yourself.” Gabrielle
had to keep herself strong despite being nervous and scared during her stay here.
After all, one wrong move would cost her life. She couldn’t be careless.
”Okay, I will send you back to him safe and sound,” Lance promised.
Since way back, he had always hated Westley for chasing after Gabrielle with no regard for her
feelings. He could never think of him as her husband. But now, he could see that Gabrielle really cared
for Westley so much. If she truly loved him, then Lance would let her go now and give them his
blessing.
He needed to send her back soon, so she could be safe and live a happy life.
“Let’s go hunt pheasants first, Lance. Rose would be disappointed if we don’t join her.” Gabrielle
noticed Rose had nced over her shoulders a couple of times.
She didn’t want tog behind and whisper, but Rose was able to speak and understand several
languages, including Gabrielle’s mothernguage.
Gabrielle really didn’t know how manynguages Rose exactly spoke or understood, but she had to be
careful. She had no clue what Rose could be thinking.
“You guys are so slow. By the way, don’t wander too much and stick close. We’re going into the deeper
part of the forest, so expect thorny vines along the way. You’ll get hurt if you’re not careful.” Rose
reminded them and gestured to hurry up.
“We’reing.” Gabrielle dashed to speed things up. She was fine with hunting pheasants in the
woods. She only hoped to gain Bain’s trust through this.
“We’ll reach the river in about half an hour. If you get thirsty, you can drink the spring water from the
mountain,” Rose said, leading the way.
I’m not thirst Gabrielle t-out refused, not mindinn t was said. Rosayed quiet. After half an hour, they
were able to reach the river across the forest. It wasrge, about ten
ters wide. Up ahead, they could see wooden bridge that looked like it could be only crossed by one
person at a time.
“Gabrielle, the bridge is w . You have to go slowly so you won’t fall down. There are poisonous snakes
in this river. If you get bitte
die.” Rose warned her. Hearing that G poisonous snakes below, Gabrielle court help but look into the
river. To her surprise, the water was ver
to remember the tracks. This is the sce path to the vige. If you don’t, you could get lost and it’s much
more da rous since there are other animals th: We here. You could get eaten by wolves and no one
would know,” Rose exined nonchntly. It may have sounded intimidating, but she looked like she
was talking about the weather. Gabrielle knew about their struggles. The dangerous situations they
faced helped them gain courage and power to ovee fear. That was why Rose was so calm. “Okay.
I’ll be careful.” She followed in Rose’s footsteps. After they got to the other side, Rose stopped in her
tracks. “Rose, is this it?” Suddenly, a cold breeze blew over them. The trees swayed and nowled.
Gabrielle looked up to the sky, feeling uneasy. Without Rose and Lance, she would have gotten scared
to death in this remote forest. It was deserted and unsafe. But it was a better choice for people on the
run.
“Well, this is where we’ll be hunting pheasants today.” Rose ced her things under the nearest tree.
After setting up a trap, she prepared the crossbow.
“What do we need to do?” Gabrielle was curious about how it worked. She was inexperienced and
lacked knowledge about hunting.
It was also her first time seeing the crossbow. Rose handled it like a professional. Gabrielle was
amazed watching her y with it like a toy.
“Don’t do anything for the time being. You should find a ce to hide in the bushes. I’ll go lure the
pheasants first,” Rose exined.
Gabrielle and Lance just stayed put. Lance was here to assist them, but he was also unaware of what
to do.
“Before I forget, don’t run around or make any noise. There are traps everywhere and it’s going to be
bad if any of you step on them. I’lle backter.” Rose had to make sure they were well-prepared.
After all, she was the one who took them to hunt. It was her responsibility to bring them back safely.
“Okay, we understand,” Gabrielle answered firmly.

“Good. Wait for me.” Rose left right away, her figure disappearing into the depths of the forest.
Gabrielle squatted down behind a tree and Lance sat beside her. “Are you scared? Don’t worry,
Gabrielle. The forest isn’t as terrible as Rose reikes it to be.” “I can’t calman. What if they set us up?”
Gabrielle lo tant to think of the worst, but what would be the reason Rose brouchem here to hunt
pheasants? Rose was probably testing them, seeing would get out of the forest by themselves. Once
they did, they might get caught in a trap, killed, or get sh o ncone. Gabrielle couldn’t get it on “You’re
right, we na riit…s not wise to get ourselves in trouble. We shouldn’t do anything stupid because they
still have Bryce” Sand Gabri nintention of running away. If people from the Campbell Family were
outside and Westley wasing to
he would find a way no matter what. Bline couldn’t abandon her brother. She even risked her life just to
see Br and take him back. Westley was quite a force and she believed in his abilities. All she needed to
do was wait for him toe. She shouldn’t do anything that could harm Westley in any way. “Lance… I
just realized something.” Gabrielle looked at him. Lance’s eyes widened in confusion. “What is it?”
What if… Rose was giving us hints? She asked us to remember every little detail of th go back to the
vige safely. Was it her telling us that we could leave when we get the chance?” Gabrielle sounded
hopeful. Gabrielle thought Rose was just very meticulous at first. She slowly realized Rose could have
purposely told her to remember. It wasn’t safe to assume because Rose was still working for Bain, but
she seemed to have a soft spot for Gabrielle. She always felt that Rose was helping her.
It does make sense, but why do you think she’d do that? She has no reason to help us. We don’t even
know if she’s telling the truth or not.” Lance didn’t want to believe it at all. Rose was unreadable. After
all, Rose worked for Bain. No one in the forest was worth trusting right now.
