Chapter 238
Byran gently nodded, helping Halllie, who was sobbing on his shoulder.
Haillie also tried to stop crying and stand up, but her right foot was so painful that she couldn’t put any weight on it. Her face was pale, her forehead covered in sweat, this stale was genuine pain, not some acted out drama
Seeing Haillie in such pain, Byran felt a pang in his heart
“Haillie, if no one’s around to fly kites with you, you can always call me to join you. Why do you have to go alone?”
Haillie, choking back the pain, sobbed, “Byran, you’re a boy, how could you possibly enjoy flying kites? I thought it would be easy, so I wanted to try it myself. I guess I overestimated myself, I’m just too clumsy”
Byran sighed sympathetically, supporting Haillie’s arm, “Stop blaming yourself, Haillie. Let me help you onto the horse, and then we’ll return to the hotel to have the stable’s doctor check your injuries. We’re in trouble if it’s a bone injury”
Byran asked Jonah for help, and together they assisted Haillie onto the horse.
Then, Byran led the horse towards the hotel at a quick pace.
Jonah and the others followed, Haillie’s condition did look kind of serious, and they all hoped everything was fine.
Theo stood there, sitting on his horse and looking down at Ellinor and Belinda, “You two better pack up the kites, don’t trip and fall.”
Belinda grunted irritably. “This grassland is flat as a pancake; how could we fall! Humph, every time Haillie shows up, something happens, we can’t even enjoy flying our
kites, what a buzzkill!”
Ellinor handed the kite string to Belinda, comforting her. “It’s all right, let’s pack up the kites, we can fly them another time.”
Belinda nodded “Ah, guess there’s no other way!”
Theo moved his horse a few steps forward, stopping beside Ellinor and whispering. “Ellinor.”
“Hmm?” Ellinor looked up at Theo on the horse, ‘What’s up, Theo?”
Theo nodded, slightly bending down to extend a hand to her, “Give me your hand.”
Ellinor was puzzled, “What for?”
Theo frowned. “I’ll give you a lift, you don’t want it?”
Ellinor shook her head, “No need, I’ll wait for Belinda, and we’ll walk together.”
Theo’s face turned serious.
Belinda, who was packing the kite string, heard this and immediately turned around, smiling. “Ellinor, you don’t have to wait for me, I want to be alone for a bit!”
Ellinor smiled, “Then I’ll stay and keep you company”
Belinda quickly waved her hand, “No, no, no need!”
As she waved her hand, the kite string rolled quickly, and all the wound–up string was released.
Belinda struggled to control the kite string, then laughed and said, “Looks like I’ll be winding for a while longer. You go ahead with Theo!”
Ellinor knew that Belinda was deliberately trying to create some alone time for her and Theo, but she didn’t know how to tell Belinda that she and Theo didn’t need it. All Ellinor could do was helplessly say, “If you insist, but be careful, don’t let the kite string cut your hand”
Belinda nodded, “I got it“”
