Ellinor gave Belinda a helpless pat on the back, âChill, girl. Itâs all good nowâ
Byran walked over with a sour look on his face and asked coldly. âEllinor how am you feeling?â
Wrapped in Belindaâs arms, Ellinor let her weep. She then turned to Byran with a smile, saying. Im not hurt, that must be a bummer for you, huh?
Byran frowned, âWhy would I be bummed?â
Ellinor replied casually, âWell, if I were dead, you wouldnât have to go through all the trouble of getting rid of your sisterâs love rivalâ
Annoyed, Byran retorted, âI didnât wish for you to die! I just Just then, Yvette, the white horse lingering at the edge of the cliff, let out an excited neigh and started running towards Ellinor Everyone was on high alert!
After all, this wild horse had thrown Ellinor off the cliff earlier that day, and it seemed ready to attack her again.
Theo quickly moved in front of Ellinor, shielding both her and Belinda.
Jonah, Kemp, and Bartlett also stepped forward, ready to lend a hand in stopping the crazed horse.
Finding a human barrier in its path, Yvette had to stop and started pacing nervously, letting out anxious neighs Seeing this, Ellinor gently pushed the still weeping Belinda away and squeezed through the people blocking her way to approach Yvette.
Theo grabbed her wrist, sternly saying. âDonât go there!â
Ellinor was cool as a cucumber, âTheo, Iâll be fine. Let me go check on it. It wonât hurt me.â
Though Theo was uneasy about her getting closer to Yvette, her determination made him pause. He decided not to stop her and followed her instead.
Ellinor went up to Yvette, gently stroking her face, and said softly. Iâm okay, donât worry or blame yourself.â
Yvetteâs restless mood instantly calmed down. It nuzzled Ellinor as if apologizing, making a sound like a sob.
Tickled by its nuzzles, Ellinor couldnât help but laugh.
Watching all of this, Theoâs tense expression relaxed a bit, and a tender look flashed in his eyes Belinda, wiping away her tears, walked over and said, âEllinor, after you fell, this horse has been standing here. No matter what we did, it just wouldnât leave. And it wouldnât let us get close! I think it knew it did something wrong and was feeling guilty you know?â
Ellinor turned her head to look at Belinda, explaining seriously. âItâs not the horseâs fault it was usedâ
Belindaâs eyes widened in confusion, âWhat are you talking about? It was used? Ellinor, are you saying someone used this horse to hurt you?â
By then, it had gotten dark.
Ellinor didnât elaborate to Belinda; instead, she scanned the people around her.
Finally, her gaze landed on Jonah, âLend me your flashlight!â
Jonah looked around, realizing Ellinor was talking to him. He walked over, twirling the flashlight in his hand, teasing. âBeg me, and Iâll lend it to you.â
Ellinor smirked, âAs if Iâd beg you!â
With that, she swiftly grabbed the flashlight from Jonahâs hand.
