Coolest Girl in Town

Elise was also startled by this. She could no longer stand by. She gripped the reins tightly and gave a hard kick to the horse’s abdomen. Then, she dropped from the horse’s back, her own body pressing down onto Alexander’s. At the sight of this, the horse lifted its head and neighed at the sky. However, Elise continued to shield Alexander as she closed her eyes in defeat. The pain that she had anticipated never came though, as the horse had galloped off in a different direction.

Elise cracked her eyes open then. Her brain still hadn’t caught up with reality as she took in everything when Alexander quickly spoke up. “Are you okay? Did you get hurt?” When Elise saw Alexander in front of her, she reflexively reached out and buried herself in his chest for reasons unknown to her. That incident earlier had been far too much of a close call, and during that moment as she hugged Alexander, she seemingly felt secure. Some part of Alexander’s heart was touched when he felt the soft body in his embrace, for he completely forgot to push her away.

“It’s all right. Everything’s over now.” After a while, Alexander consoled her. It was only then that Elise returned to her senses, and she quickly let go of him. “I’m glad that you weren’t hurt. I have no idea what was going on with that horse. Why did it go berserk all of a sudden?” As Elise spoke, she attempted to stand up, but her right leg suddenly gave out on her, and she fell forward. Fortunately for her, Alexander grabbed her in time “Are you okay?” Elise lowered her head to look at her leg. She could clearly feel the pain coming from her ankle. “I think it’s sprained.”

Elise gave a pained hiss. “Gentler, please.” He quickly withdrew his hand. “That sprained ankle seems bad. You need to get to the hospital now.” Tears sprang up in Elise’s eyes after she heard that. I’m out of luck

didn’t say anything else as he crouched down in front of her. “Get on. I’ll carry you over.” Elise paused for a moment, but in the end, she got onto his back. Alexander carried her toward their starting point. Right then, Owen came cantering over on

me off its back.” Owen’s face took on an unsightly expression. He had clearly only ordered his men to sabotage Alexander’s horse. He had never once thought about doing anything to Elise’s horse, but now… Now that things had come to this, Owen immediately reined in his

twisted ankle serious?” “It’s no big deal. You’ll be fine after I apply some ointment for you. It should heal by tomorrow.” As the doctor said that, he pulled out a bottle of ointment from the medical kit he had brought with him and applied the ointment on Elise’s foot. Then, he helped Elise

her tongue out, somewhat embarrassed. “I’m fine. I just fell off my horse” Quentin’s expression twisted up at those words. “Why would a perfectly fine horse suddenly do that?” The stableboy was terrified by Quentin’s question, and he promptly wiped the sweat from his forehead. “Mr. Fassbender, we tend to the horses carefully

Fassbender. Even with all the courage in the world, we… we wouldn’t dare to do anything to the horses,” another stableboy stuttered. Quentin glanced at them and said, “It is difficult to assume that you have nothing to do with this when the horse suddenly displayed unusual behavior. I will get the others to investigate this matter thoroughly. You should leave.”
