Chapter 151 He Loves Challenges

He wrapped his arms around the horse’s neck, letting it continue to run freely. His eyes, however, were observing his surroundings. Right at that moment, he saw a grassy patch up ahead. Instantly, an idea wormed its way into his mind, and he promptly leaped off the horse’s back and rolled onto the grassy patch. He only stopped after several rolls.

“Alexander, out of the way! Quick!” Elise’s frantic voice hit him. Alexander looked up, only to see Elise’s horse charging straight for him, and then the horse was right above him. At that moment, he forgot how to move.

……

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.”

Hearing her say that, Alexander promptly crouched down to check her foot. “Where? Does it hurt? Can you walk?”
