Lock You In My Heart Chapter 497


    Gabrielle was moved by what Doctor Maniac had said. It was a good thing that he was there, or Rose


    could have died.


    It was her fault. She had put Rose in danger. And now, Doctor Maniac got involved.


    “Thank you, Doctor Maniac. Thank you for saving Rose. I am indebted to you and Rose. If you need


    anything, don’t think twice in telling me.” Gabrielle’s words came from the bottom of her heart.


    “No, no, no. You don’t owe me anything. Saving Rose was my decision. And don’t forget, it was your


    husband’s men who saved me and Rose. We owe our lives to them,” Doctor Maniac said calmly.


    He had been a doctor for a long time. Until now, his countenance had conveyed indifference toward his


    patients. He had been a cold-blooded man.


    And yes, what he had said was true. Bain’s men almost killed Rose. They abandoned her after hurting


    her. He could have done nothing, after all, Rose had been mean to him.


    But he couldn’t just sit and watch her die. He had to save her!


    “Just the same, if you need anything, tell me. You are safe here.” Gabrielle didn’t say anything more.


    Doctor Maniac may look dispassionate but she knew that he could see through everything.


    Didn’t he survive in the forest? He wouldn’t be able to do that had he been stupid.


    He was just good at hiding his feelings.


    “I know. It is the Campbell Family’s ce so it must be safe.” Doctor Maniac had no doubt about it.


    “By the way, how’s your leg?” Gabrielle asked tentatively. She really wanted to ask if his leg injury had


    disabled him but she didn’t want to sound impolite.


    “My leg is healing well. They had taken out the bullet from it. In the future I can stand as before. But my


    full use of my leg will take some time.” He was straightforward about his injury, being a doctor himself.


    Gabrielle had great faith in his medical skills. He was a genius in his profession. Having him here gave


    her hope for Sloane.


    “Doctor Maniac, can I ask you something?” Gabrielle said as she looked him in the eye.


    The doctor nodded and prodded her. “Yes, what is it?” He could sense how important to her to know


    the answer to her question.


    “What are you going to do after this? Do you want to stay here? Or do you have other ns?” In her


    mind, Gabrielle wanted to ask if he could go back to Antawood with them.


    Doctor Maniac already knew what was in Gabrielle’s mind. Westley had previously spoken to him about


    taking him and Rose to Antawood together with them. He also said he would arrange everything should


    they decide to do so.


    He added that they shouldn’t worry about what they had been before Antawood. There, they could lead


    new lives.


    The offer, Doctor Maniac admitted to himself, was tempting.


    “Mr. Morris had already talked to me about it. He saved our lives. We will do things as he has


    instructed. We will go to Antawood with you,” Doctor Maniac said in an acquiescence tone.


    Upon hearing this, Gabrielle looked at Westley. Her eyes were glowing with warmth and excitement. “Is


    that true? Are you taking Doctor Maniac and Rose back to Antawood?”

    “Yes, it’s true. But of course, it is still up to them to decide if they want to leave with us. Rose is still in a


    coma. Will we be able to ask her when shees out of it? I can’t force her to go back with us. Until


    some other arrangement is made, it would be good for them to go with us.” When Westley met them for


    the first time, he had already conferred with Doctor Maniac about his n. He also told him that he


    wanted to ask Rose about that when she woke up.


    “Well then, let’s wait for Rose. She shou


    ld wake up soon, should she?” Gabrielle asked Doctor Maniac, looking not quite sure what his answer


    would be.


    “I wish she would wake up sooner. Since she’s seriously injured and wants to die to end the pain,


    waking her up will be a great challenge for me. Nevertheless, I’m up to it,” Doctor Maniac said with


    conviction.


    Rose was attached to the most advanced equipment to help her through her physical ordeal. Moreover,


    Doctor Maniac, whose medical skills had been regarded as prodigious, was taking care of her. Rose


    should wake up sooner thanter.


    “You’ll let us know the moment Rosees out of hera, won’t you, Doctor Maniac?” Gabrie


    knew that he would do so. She had great faith in him.


    She also wanted the doctor to see Sloane when they got back to Antawood. Sloane had been


    bedridden for half a year now. Gabrielle wanted her to recover but didn’t know how and when that


    would happen.


    That bastard Benny! Because of him, Sloane had to suffer the consequences.


    “Of course,” Doctor Maniac said, smiling.


    “We’ll have to go back first. If you need anything, please call us.” Gabrielle and Westley were going to


    go back to their vi.


    “I will,” Doctor Maniac said. His tone was mellow and rxed.


    “I do hope you can go back with us to Antawood, Doctor Maniac. If I may be honest, I’ll have to tell you


    about my best friend. She had been in aa for nearly half a year now. The best brain experts were


    there to treat her. But they failed. I can feel that you can bring her out of hera and make her well.


    You are my only hope. You can’t imagine the things I’ve been through while in Bangkok. I feel so lucky


    to have met you. You must have been God-sent.” Gabrielle looked at him. Her eyes showed how she


    felt.


    It had been in her mind since she saw Doctor Maniac in the forest.


    Sloane had not regained consciousness. A number of doctors had treated her but none could get her


    out of hera. Perhaps Doctor Maniac was the answer they had been waiting for.


    “But if you don’t want to go to Antawood with us, I’ll understand. You can forget everything I’ve said.”


    Much as Gabrielle had hoped that Doctor Maniac could treat Sloane, the decision to go to Antawood


    would still be his.


    If he didn’t want to go, she didn’t have any right to force him.


    Forcing him might only make things worse.


    “Gabrielle, I appreciate your faith in me as a doctor. But I have yet to see your friend so it’s premature


    to say that I can cure her.” Doctor Maniac wanted to treat Sloane but he didn’t want to promise anything


    until he saw the patient.


    “So you do intend to treat her?” Gabrielle was so happy. She would have rushed over and hugged


    Doctor Maniac. It was only seeing him on the wheelchair that she stopped in her tracks.


    “I promise that I will do my best to treat your friend. But I can’t guarantee that I can cure her.” He didn’t


    doubt his skills as a doctor. But there were patients whose conditions were incurable. He could only do


    his best.


    “Doctor Maniac, I have trust in you. But if she can’t get well in the end, I will still be grateful to you for


    taking care of her,” Gabrielle said as she knew what the doctor meant.


    The doctors had told her that Sloane had no desire to live at all. It would be difficult to wake up such a


    person. But miracles could happen.


    Gabrielle believed that miracles woulde to those who fervently believed in them. She believed


    miracles happened when men would do their part, too.


    If she had done everything to make Sloane well again, she wouldn’t have any regrets in the end.
