Lock You In My Heart

Chapter 612

Gabrielle couldn’t hear a word these two men were saying to each other since they were speaking in Thai.

However, she was amazed to discover how soft and gentle Dr. Maniac’s voice sounded. It was a stark contrast to that ugly name he had.

In fact when Gabrielle first met Doctor Maniac, she immediately felt he was a pretty gentle man. There was really nothing about his appearance that would make anyone think he was a “maniac”.

That said, when it came to medicine, he had this habit of wanting to dig deep into things, which was often scary.

That was the real meaning of his name, “maniac”. It simply stood out for his enthusiasm for science

“Doctor Maniac, Star, I’m back,” Gabrielle announced as she walked into the room.

“Glad to see you back, Gabrielle. Hope you had a good time at your family reunion dinner party.” Doctor Maniac welcomed her warmly.

“Well, it wasn’t bad actually. Thank you very much for taking care of Star.” Gabrielle was truly grateful to the man. She couldn’t help but notice how happy Star seemed to be with Dr. Maniac.

“You don’t have to thank me, Gabrielle, really. I like Star very much. It’s a pleasure for me to take care of him.” Doctor Maniac really meant it. He liked Star very much.

The young boy was rather calm, sensible and very smart.

Who would not like such an adorable child?

Before living in the forest, Doctor Maniac lived cloistered in his laboratory. He spent his days and nights experimenting again and again. At the time, he had little chance of meeting people, let alone children. When he went to live in the forest, his chances were even less.

It was because of this that he didn’t like children very much. However, Star was an exception.

The kid was so adorable that even someone like Doctor Maniac, who seldom talked to children, instantly became fond of him.

The two had no communication blockage as they both spoke Thai. Moreover, Star had a genuine interest in medicine, which made the communication between the two go even smoother. Doctor Maniac was extremely happy to be with such a kid. When Star saw Gabrielle, he greeted her gently in English, “Mom.” Gabrielle was stunned upon hearing what the kid just said. She ran straight to Star and looked at him in disbelief. “Star, w-what did you just call me?” “Mom.” The little boy repeated what he said. Although his accent wasn’t quite right and sounded a bit awkward, what he said moved Gabrielle all the same. “

Oh, my God! You… you really called me Mom! Star, this is the best gift I’ve ever received.” Gabrielle was overwhelmed with emotions. She was about to take Star in her arms and cover him with kisses when she recalled that he was injured. Gabrielle turned to look at Doctor Maniac and asked seriously, “You’re the one who taught him English, isn’t it?” “Yes, you’re right. The fact is Star has a great talent for learning. I just taught him a few words and he began to speak more or less fluently. He’s quite impressive.” Doctor maniac was a man slow to praise. So if he praised Star, it meant the little boy really deserved it.

At this moment, a thought suddenly crossed Gabrielle’s mind and she glanced at Doctor Maniac expectantly. Of course, Dr. Maniac quickly noticed the way Gabrielle was looking at him. He gazed at her and said, “Gabrielle, whatever you want to say, just spit it out. I feel very nervous each time you look at me that way.” Gabrielle slowly sat at the edge of the bed and said in earnest, “I was curious to

know how many languages you speak.” In fact, Gabrielle and Westley had been discussing about finding a teacher to help Star learn English. Dr. Maniac seemed to be the perfect man for that. Besides being their friend and getting along well with Star, Dr. Maniac was perfectly bilingual, able to speak English and Thai fluently. In addition, he was a doctor. It would be perfect if he could stay to take care of Star.

“Well, I speak Mandarin, Thai, English, French… I think I speak seven or eight languages. Why?” Although he asked, Dr. Maniac had a rough idea about why Gabrielle asked him such a question.

Gabrielle was stunned. “You speak seven or eight languages? Doctor Maniac, you’re just incredible.” Gabrielle gave him a thumbs up. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

“Well, my profession requires me to be

as learned as possible. Many original medical works don’t have any translation, so I’d to learn a few more languages.” Doctor Maniac didn’t think there was anything amazing about him speaking multiple languages. For doctors, it was normal to master a couple of languages.

It was even more common for people doing scientific research. Too many items they needed were labeled in foreign languages, and they couldn’t afford to make a mistake, thus they needed to learn as many languages as possible.

The expression on Gabrielle’s face suddenly became serious. “Well, I won’t beat around the bush. Star speaks Thai fluently, but I want him to learn the basics of English. After he recovers, he would go to kindergarten. Therefore, I would like you to teach him English. Don’t worry. I’ll pay.” Gabrielle looked at the man expectantly.

“Gabrielle, it would be my honor to teach Star. Everything we have here in Antawood was offered to us by you and Mr. Morris. So if there’s something I can do for Star I would do it with all my heart. It’s out of

the question that I take money from you. Besides, I really like this boy,” Doctor Maniac replied sincerely.

“It’s settled then. It’s up to you to help Star master English. If you need anything, just let me know. I’ll do my best to accommodate you.” Gabrielle was overjoyed.

She had been really worried about who would be the suitable teacher for Star. She was really happy now that she knew exactly who would be the one to teach her beloved son. Not only was he extremely qualified to take on the task, but he was also both friends with her and with the kid. Star would definitely learn better with Dr. Maniac than with any other teacher.

“Gabrielle, I promise I would do everything in my power to help Star. However, I honestly think that Star is smarter than I am. I won’t have much to teach him.” Doctor Maniac was a man who valued honesty above anything else. At times his words would be harsh, but they would always be sincere. So when he said that Star was really gifted, he meant it.

“I’ll buy a whole set of books for you tomorrow, Doctor Maniac.” Gabrielle was really excited at this point. She actually wanted to rush out right away and buy a pile of textbooks for Doctor Maniac.

“Come on, Gabrielle, no hurry. We don’t need them for the moment. I’ll tell you when it’s time.” Doctor Maniac was a little amused by Gabrielle’s excitement. However, he could totally understand her. She took Star as her biological son and was illing to do anything for him. “Okay.” Gabrielle agreed. It was at this moment that Westley came in. He immediately noticed the excited expression on Gabrielle’s face and that slightly puzzled him.

“What’s the good news?” Westley asked, gazing at Gabrielle. “Westley, guess what! Doctor Maniac has promised to teach Star English. Oh, that’s not all… Star just called me Mom in English. Can you imagine that? I’m so excited,” Gabrielle spluttered excitedly. Westley finally understood why Gabrielle was so happy. anyone in her shoes would be excited by such good news. “Wow, it’s truly amazing indeed. I didn’t expect that Star would pick up English so quickly.

” Westley was really impressed. as he spoke, he put his arm around Gabrielle’s shoulder. “I can’t believe he’s so good either. Dr. Maniac tells me he will have no trouble teaching him.” “Dad, Mom.” Star’s shy voice suddenly sounded. He spoke in English this time again, pronouncing each word clearly. Westley and Gabrielle were both shocked. They stared at Star with an indecipherable expression. “Star, can you say it again?” Gabrielle asked gently.

She was overwhelmed with emotions each time she heard him call her like that. She was touched to the point that she almost cried. It was just like seeing your child call you for the first time. The ‘oy was indescribable. “Hi, Dad, Mom. I’m Star. I love you.” Star did his best to complete the sentence slowly. Once he was done, he looked expectantly at Gabrielle and Westley with his deep blue eyes, waiting for their praise. This time, Gabrielle was moved to tears. “Star, you’re awesome. We love you too,” she said, wiping a tear from her cheek. • t this point, Gabrielle couldn’t control herself anymore. She placed that burning kiss on the kid’s forehead.
