Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 587

The four of them had lunch. With several different dishes and a huge bowl of soup, it was a simple but rather healthy meal.

Gabrielle and Remy noticed Michelle’s lack of appetite. Remy wanted to ask her and get her some food, but he couldn’t.

“Michelle, is the food not to your liking? You haven’t eaten much,” Gabrielle interjected.

“Oh, Gabrielle, it’s nothing like that. I love these dishes you cooked and they’re very delicious. It’s just that tomorrow’s shoot was suddenly rescheduled for this afternoon. I can’t eat too much or else I’d be bloated. I’m afraid I’d look ugly,” Michelle explained, her expression, troubled.

Of course, as celebrities, they had to keep a perfect figure. Some of them even went on a strict diet to be able to lose or maintain their weight.

It was an unhealthy practice.

“I understand, Michelle… but are you sure? You don’t want to get a stomachache out of hunger, do you?” Gabrielle asked, feeling worried.

“It’s going to be fine, Gabrielle. I’m used to it. There are times when I’m too busy and couldn’t even eat anything the whole day. It’s the life of a celebrity. If we want to show our most beautiful side to everyone, we must pay the price. As they say, beauty is pain.” Michelle had already seen it through a long time ago.

Before entering this industry, she had known that the more glamorous they wanted to look in front of everyone, the more effort they had to put in. In places where there were no cameras to record them, they had cried buckets of tears. And when the world was against them, they would have to mend their hearts alone and learn to heal themselves.

“Michelle, if you’re tired, it’s okay to take some break. Westley is here, he will protect you.” Gabrielle held her hand. Even though she knew that being a star meant you’d have to undergo difficult situations and choose a hard path, Michelle was Westley’s cousin and Gabrielle really liked her a lot. She didn’t want to see her in a tight spot.

“I really appreciate how much you care for me, Gabrielle. With Westley here, I have a strong backup and I can even feel superior… but I don’t want to use that privilege. I want to do things my own way, no matter how hard. I want to struggle and take one step at a time until I reach the top. I want to push myself to achieve greater things. It’s the only way I can grow stronger. I don’t want to be reduced to someone who’s dependent on other people’s protection.” Michelle was an optimistic woman with a positive outlook in life.

It was truly astounding, considering that Michelle was born and raised in a rich family.

After listening to her words, Gabrielle admired her even more and agreed to what she said. People would only mature when they experienced all sorts of hardships in life. “Michelle, you really are an inspiring person. But remember, if you need any help, don’t hesitate to call Westley. He will always be there for you.” Gabrielle saw Michelle like her own little sister. “I know, Gabrielle. I won’t hesitate to call. I have such a great support. I’ll definitely hit you guys up when I need help,” Michelle replied with a bright smile. “Eat a little bit more so you’ll have energy for the shoot after lunch.”

Gabrielle picked up some beef for her. “Thank you, Gabrielle ” Michelle happily replied. After lunch, Michelle’s agent came to pick her up for the shoot. Gabrielle and Westley had planned to see Star and Ms. Glyn in the afternoon. When they headed out, they saw Remy sitting on the sofa in the living room, staring blankly with a big apple in his hand. It was unusual for him to be in a daze. “What’s up, Remy? Are you gonna eat that or just keep staring at it? We’re going to the hospital to see Star, are you going with us?” Gabrielle interrupted him. “No, you guys go ahead. I have to see Nellie later.” Remy pressed his lips together and didn’t look at the apple anymore. It seemed like he wasn’t going to eat it anytime soon. The apple was from Michelle, and he somehow kept it until now.

“Alright, we’re leaving now. See you later.” Gabrielle didn’t say anything more.

After the two got in the car, Gabrielle was feeling a bit worried. “Westley, is Remy okay? He obviously had something on his mind.”

“He’ll be fine. Maybe he’s feeling a little tired these days. With his messed up schedule recently, it’s no surprise. He should be okay after a while.” Westley assured her.

He seldom meddled with Remy’s private affairs. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Even if they were close with each other, he had rarely talked about Remy’s personal life.

“Why don’t you give him a holiday?”

“Don’t worry too much. He once joined the DWB when he was in college. He had gone through endless workload there, this is nothing for him.” Westley comforted Gabrielle.

Gabrielle believed him. Since Westley said so, she dropped the topic and didn’t ask anymore.

When they arrived at the hospital, Gabrielle went to see Melissa with a bouquet of flowers in her arms. But when she entered the room, nobody was there. Melissa’s stuff was also nowhere to be seen. She might’ve left the hospital.

Gabrielle asked the nurses and they told her that Melissa had been discharged yesterday afternoon. Gabrielle thought Jasmine must have helped her mother, and perhaps they went back to Ensfield together. Gabrielle felt a little sad when she thought about Melissa not saying goodbye. When Gabrielle was about to call Melissa to ask, she saw Jasmine walking towards her. “Jasmine, is Ms. Glyn alright?” Gabrielle put her phone down and looked at her.

“Yes. My mother went out of the hospital yesterday afternoon, and went back to Ensfield with my father. After all, there’s no place like home. It’s the most suitable place for her to recover,” Jasmine calmly answered. Gabrielle didn’t know if she had been thinking too much, but she always felt that Jasmine wasn’t really fond of her. There was also a hint of hostility coming from her. However, she didn’t care. If Jasmine really didn’t like her, then it was not her business. She didn’t think they would be friends anyway. “It seems that Ms. Glyn has recovered weln It’s great news that she was allowed to rest at home now.

Gabrielle was relieved. “Ms. Jones, may I have a word with you?” Jasmine stepped closer. “Of course, what is it?” Gabrielle replied calmly. “My mother left the hospital in such a hurry. I have to stay here with Nathan for a few more days, so I didn’t go back with my parents. She specially told me to tell you that she was discharged. Thank you for the blood transfusion.” Although Jasmine expressed her gratitude, she had an unfriendly look in her eyes. “No need to thank me. It’s my honor to be able to help Ms. Glyn.” Gabrielle did it because she wanted to save Melissa. She didn’t want the Walker family to think they were indebted to her. “You may not think it’s a big deal, but I just want to thank you for what you’ve done for my mother. This is a check, take it as a small gift. I hope you can accept it.” Jasmine took out a check and handed it to Gabrielle.
