My Repentant Brothers by Grace Edith

Over a month quickly passed.

Madeline and Gavin had even spent New Year on the Aventiran savanna.

By the time they returned to Clusia, spring had arrived.

Typically, after two months of traveling abroad together, one might expect two people to have settled into a serious relationship, but Gavin proved otherwise. They barely progressed beyond holding hands. Instead, the two had forged a bond for life after a harrowing experience of being chased at high speed by leopards across the savannah.

Madeline had been terrified and had firmly resolved never to go to the Aventiran savannah again.

For half a month, she endured nightmares of being pursued by lions and leopards. Even though she stayed indoors every day, it felt as if she were constantly running, and she ended up losing some weight. When Caleb went to pick them up and saw the emaciated Madeline, his face darkened with fury.

The first thing he did was instruct the servants to take care of Madeline's health.

"T..." Gavin pressed his lips together, not shirking his responsibility. "I wanted Maddie to get closer to the wild side of nature, to fully immerse herself and unwind. Unfortunately, we encountered some minor accidents and ended up being chased by leopards for over three hours."

He sighed and continued, "We got separated from the group that day. If we had stayed with them, we could have used the rifle for protection and wouldn't have been so terrified"

Gavin reminisced about how close he was to overheating the engine while speeding across the grasslands; it had been quite a thrill.
