Lock You In My Heart Chapter 485
Gabrielle’s hunch waspletely correct because they found themselves at shallows full of twists after
turning a corner.
This ce had not only twists and turns but also rocks and whirlpools. In short, this section of the river
was a very dangerous ce. Westley naturally had confidence in crossing it, as long as Gabrielle
wasn’t so scared.
“Gabrielle, we’ve got to pass a bit long turnster, and if you’re afraid, you can just close your eyes.”
Concerned that Gabrielle would panic, Westley informed her ahead of time andforted her.
Let alone Gabrielle, even Westley himself felt a little nervous. Especially at the thought of Gabrielle
being behind him, he felt worried even more.
No matter how unbreakable his armor was, there always had a weak point. And that weakness of his
was Gabrielle.
“I’m not afraid, Westley.” Sensing the concern in Westley’s tone, Gabrielle gave him a firm answer.
And what she said wasn’t just a white lie to make Westley feel better. With Westley in front of her to
protect her, she really felt a lot less concerned.
Westley was the man she could totally count on. As long as he was with her, she would no longer be
afraid of any dangerous situation.
It was also what a husband and wife were meant to do, sharing bliss and misfortune together.
“I’m sure.” Gabrielle gave out another reassurance. At the same time, she tried her best to keep her
eyes open and scanned the situation around her.
What she hoped for right now was to be the one who could help Westley with something, although the
view here was really not good at all.
Although Gabrielle tried hard to look around, she couldn’t discover or hear very much. So, she just
threw her arms around Westley tightly, leaned her head on his back, and closed her eyes to feel the
surrounding situation.

The sound of water gurgling, wind blowing, trees rustling, and animals growling around filled her ears.
And what Gabrielle needed to do now was to find out whether there were any other sounds, such as
human voices or footsteps, from these messy voices.
“Why did you loosen the rope, Gabrielle?” Westley asked as he was frightened by Gabrielle’s move. In
this case, it would le safer for Gabrielle to grab the rop h ug and hold onto him. After all, she might be

hold you tightly and ‘t let go. Now I want to hear if anyone ising,” Gabrielle said Sellously. Since

yone had escaped. So Gabrielle knew for sure that Bain would send his people to chase them as soon
as he found out, no matter what it took. And even if he couldn’t catch them alive, he would find a way to
kill them. In short, he would definitely not let her go, and Westley would also be included. At the thought
of this, Gabrielle’s heart trembled with fear. “Westley, all you need to do is just take me out of here as
soon as possible. Don’t worry about anything else. We won’t be separated so easily,” Gabrielle said
firmly. “If you say so, Gabrielle. Then hang on tight and never let go!” Under the faint moonlight,
Westley began to search his way forward with a big stick to avoid bumping into the stones in front of
him.
However, it was not easy to cross because of the rushing current and numerousrge stones. They
had been stalled there
for over ten minutes and had bumped against the stones nearly three times. Once Gabrielle was
almost flung away, but luckily, Westley reacted quickly and grabbed her hand immediately. Otherwise,
she would totally be flushed into the river.
“Are you alright, Gabrielle? There are only two more turns left to pass through this area.” Westley really
got startled by the incident, and even the stick in his hand slipped off and fell into the water. The stick
was supposed to be used as a rudder for the path they were taking. But now that the stick was gone,
they had no choice but to count on the kayak to go through the rest of the journey.
No matter what, for Westley, it was worth the risk. He would never hesitate to risk the stick or anything
else if it was for Gabrielle’s safety. Given the rushing current, if she did fall into the river and he could
not save her in time, she would most likely be drowned or hit a stone.
“Yeah, I’m alright. It was so close, but you caught me in time. Otherwise…” Gabrielle was terrified when
she thought of the scene just now.
Indeed, it was just too horrible.
Westley grabbed her in time when she was almost about to be knocked down. If not, she would have
really fallen.
Only if the shoal was even and not too rapid would she be able to swim to the shore, and she wouldn’t
have to worry about her safety.
But the thing was that now the current was not even and full of turns, as well as stones. So, one would
definitely not be able to survive after falling into it.
Even if those who fell in the river still had breath, it was just for a moment. They would die sooner or
later.
“We’ll be fine, Gabrielle. Don’t worry. I’m here.” Westley was actually taken aback too. He didn’t feel
any better than Gabrielle or even more nervous and scared than her.
“Well, I believe you. Nothing will happen to us. Will it be better after we pass this area?” Gabrielle felt a
little relieved after hearing what Westley said and questioned him with a serious expression.
She was silently praying in her heart to not encounter any horrible things on the next trip. At the very
least, she wanted to be safe and sound.
She had no idea of what yould happen in the following, but they indeed had got scared many times
while crossing the river.
“It’s going to a setter, I guess. The water won’t bes a dund frightening, and there will be fewer stones,
too.” Westleyfr Gabrielle. In his mind, he sought to re l What the riverbed looked like based on his
rough memory of when he I came here. “We’ll make it through, sessf a unarmed. Do you think we’re
kind of like a troubled couple after having such a life-and-death experience V s Gabrielle cracked a joke
to brighten the situation.
But when the words an Of her mouth, it didn’t sound like a joke at all. “You’re right to We are now a
couple who have gone to ough difficulties together. Our lives have been bound, and no ona Ipate us,
not even life or death!” Westle ought so too. His eyes were fixed on the stones in front of him.
blick, he could only kick them away w is legs to avoid bumping into those obstacles. In regard, Westley
did a good job. They didn’t hit the stones ever after again. Yes, no one can separate us. We won’t be
apart again any longer.” Gabrielle wholeheartedly agreed with Westley’s statement. After all the things
they had gone through, no other people, not even life and death, could separate them. “Westley, I think
I’ve heard the sound of a motorcycle,” Gabrielle said as she heard the roar of the motorcycle’s motor.
The sound was quite loud, roaring from far and near. She immediately thought of a possibility that the
sound came from the motorcycles of the people Bain had sent over. After all, all of those sounds were
coming from the direction of the vige. “Westley, did you hear that?” Gabrielle closed her eyes and
listened carefully several times. She got scared after confirming that the roar was indeed from the
motorcycles. “I did, yes. It’s true. The motorcycles. It’s getting closer to us.” Westley also heard the
sounds. A thought immediately shed across his mind. It must be Bain’s people.’
