Chapter 337

Evadne’s eyes widened in shock, her body tense, her lips quivering in disbelief!

She wasn’t slow to react, but the event was so sudden. A full–bred, muscular horse was charging at her with the speed of a top–end sports car!

Human reaction time, even at its best, couldn’t prevent this kind of accident!

“Mr. Chambers!”

The secretary, with a voice strained with fear, shouted out to Avery, desperately trying to reach him in time. But it was too late!

The wild black horse, panting heavily and with a manic glint in its eyes, was barreling straight towards Evadne!

Evadne’s breath hitched. She wanted to run, but her legs felt as if they were nailed to the ground, frozen in fear!

“Evadne!”

Just in the nick of time, Avery lunged forward, arms outstretched to shield her from the impending danger. He pulled her close, then with a swift movement, they were sent tumbling away from the horse’s path!

Crash!

Dust billowed around them as they hit the ground.

Avery’s back took the brunt of the fall and Evadne cradled safely in his arms. Besides a few minor scratches, she was unscathed.

But the impact and the fall stirred something within her, a discomfort that twisted her insides into knots.

One could only imagine how much pain Avery must be in!

“Ave, are you okay?” Evadne, panic stricken, cried out, her eyes welling up with tears.

“I… watch out!”

Avery’s face turned pale as a sheet. Ignoring the pain he was in, he held Evadne closer, rolling to the side just as the horse bucked and reared again!

“Whinny!”

The horse’s front hooves shot up, missing Avery and Evadne by mere inches!

“Ugh!”

A sharp pain shot through Avery’s back, leaving him drenched in sweat. His suit was practically soaked through with it!

“Ave!”

Evadne felt as if her lungs were being squeezed, making it hard for her to breathe.

Just then, the secretary and two horse trainers finally reached them, managing to subdue the frenzied horse. They injected the horse with a strong sedative, calming it down.

Under the influence of the medication, the horse finally settled down, the crazed look in its eyes slowly fading.
