Only then did Ellinor reluctantly extend her hand, which was grasped by Theoâs rough hand.
With a strong pull from Theo, she was up on the horse.
The horse didnât speed up but just strolled on the lawn.
They both sat on the same saddle, Ellinorâs back against Theoâs solid chest; she felt uneasyâ¦
âTheo, arenât you in a rush to check on your longâtime friend Haillieâs injuries?â she asked âIâm not a doctor, I canât help her even if I go,â he replied.
Ellinor gave an awkward laugh, âYou have a point!â
Theo said nothing more, so Ellinor asked, âTheo, whatâs your horseâs name?â
âAlunarâ
Alunar, does that mean he likes the moon?
The horseâs name probably represents that special someone in his heart. Patricia, maybe?
Liking the moon, liking the special someone in his heart.
Seeing Ellinor in a daze, Theo leaned in and asked her softly, âWhatâs up?â
Ellinor snapped out of it and ran her fingers through the black horseâs mane, âNothing this is a good horsel âDo you like horse riding?â
âYeah, itâs not bad.â
Suddenly, Theoâs arm was around her waist, his voice low in her ear, âYou donât seem to be having fun this time. Next time, we can come alone, without them.â
Ellinor was a bit surprised Was he out of his mind?
They only had two months left to work together. What future was he talking about?
Suddenly. Theoâs hand pinched her waist lightly as if checking the quality of a pmduct. He said, âYou eat well, why are you so skinny?â
Ellinor was a bit annoyed, âI like it!â
Theo smiled lightly, âEating a bit more would be better.â
Ellinorâs face turned red instantly. She forcefully pushed his hand away. âTheo, mind your manners and take your hand off me!â
âStop squirming â
She shouldnât have ridden a horse with him!
The horse farm hotel.
In Haillieâs suite, Theo and Ellinor arrived a bit late.
A group of people were gathered around the bed, all worrying about Haillieâs condition.
The horse farm doctor had checked Haillieâs foot. He said with a serious expression, âSend her to the hospital for surgery. Our equipment here isnât enough to diagnose, but from my experience, I think Haillieâs ligament might be torn.â
Torn ligament?!
Haillie was already so in pain that she turned pale. She asked with difficulty. âIf my ligament is torn, can I still dance?â
The doctor looked a bit complicated, âIf you recover well, of course, you can dance. It just might not be as flexible as before.â
Haillie widened her eyes in disbelief. âIâm a professional ballet dancer. If I canât dance at my best, whatâs the point of living!â
Byran tried to comfort her, âHaillie, donât be so upset. You need to heal first! After recovery, it might not have any impact!â
Jonah also said a few comforting words, then hurried to arrange for an ambulance from the nearest hospital But Haillie was already in despair She cried silently, then took out her phone to make a call.
Once the call was connected, Haillie choked out, âHello? Patricia, I might not make it. In the next life, we must still be best friends. You must take care of yourselfâ¦
After hanging up the phone, Haillie faintedâ¦.
Byran was shocked. He shook Haillie in concern, âHaillie, whatâs wrong? Wake up! Doctor, come quick!â
The horse farm doctor stepped forward, carefully lifting Haillieâs eyelids to check. âSheâs fine, just fainted due to pain and emotional stress. But we should get her to the hospital ASAPâ
Just then, Byranâs phone rang Byran glanced at the caller ID, his eyes suddenly tense. He immediately answered the call, âSister, Iâm with Haillie! Donât worry, Haillie just fell and got a bit hurt. Sheâs a bit emotional, but her life isnât in danger! Sister, rest assured, Iâll take good care of Haillie! Yes, Theo is here tooâ¦â
Byran turned to Theo with his phone, âTheo, my sisterâs on the line. She wants to speak to you. She has something to sayâ
