Chapter 427 Sage’s face immediately dropped. She rushed toward Melody while she shouted, “Step down on the stirrup, hold on to the reins and hug the horse’s neck!”
Right when Sage finished shouting, she noticed that Yoel had already gotten up on his horse and galloped towards Melody at full speed, “Giddy up!”
Yoel leaned forward and spurred on his horse.
On the other side of the course, Melody felt as if her insides were about to be turned inside out by the tumultuous course. She could vaguely hear Sage’s words, however, she could only make out the last part of the sentence. As such, she immediately hugged the pony’s neck for dear life. Melody closed her eyes and screamed in her mind, ‘Ross, I know you’ve always wanted to beat me up, but you can’t use this horse to do your bidding! I don’t want to die yet! I’m your daughter!’
Suddenly, Melody felt something other than the galloping of the horse, she could vaguely feel something grasp the back of her neck. Shocked, her hold on the pony’s neck tightened.
A voice rang beside her ear, “Let go!” Without thinking twice, the authority and confidence in the voice caused Melody to release her hold on the pony immediately. Melody felt as if Ross was here to save her and let go of the pony just as she was told. The next
thing she knew, she was picked up like a toy and steadily placed on horseback.
After saving Melody, Yoel put his hands in his mouth and let out a sharp whistle. The pony that was originally sprinting down the course immediately stopped dead on its track.
Melody could not believe what was happening. How could the pony react so differently to what was happening just now!
Tears streamed down Melody’s face uncontrollably, it was as if a switch inside Melody turned
on and everything came pouring out. Yoel had absolutely no idea how to comfort her at all. Even though it wasn’t the first time Yoel encountered a woman crying, it was the first time he made a girl cry. Back in the day, whenever a woman cried because he was breaking up with her, he just kept giving her money until she was satisfied and he would go on his merry way.
This time round it was different, he felt almost… guilty. Like he somehow bullied Melody into
tears.
