âJameson, is this the time for jokes?â Alyssa raised her voice as she was both anxious and angry.
Jameson dared not tease her further. He endured the pain and softly said, âMy arm and back are a bit sore.â
Before he finished speaking, Alyssa paused, precisely locating the position of his broken arm. Touching the protruding bone, she recalled the heart-stopping moment just now. A pang of guilt pierced her heart.
âItâs okay, Lyse.â Jamesonâs eyes met hers as he said gently.
âAnd you say itâs okay? You have a fracture!â Alyssaâs eyes reddened as she shouted at him.
He was the one injured, yet he tried to comfort her. It made her feel even more guilty.
âDonât worry. Iâll mend every bone you break. Even if all the bones in your body break, Iâll fix them all. I will be responsible for you!â Alyssa reassured him.
Jameson felt warmth in his heart. No woman had ever dared to say sheâd take responsibility for him.
That audacity was one reason he was deeply infatuated with her.
âThis is really strange!â One of the horse trainers scratched his head in bewilderment. âThis black horse is usually the gentlest and most obedient in our stable. Itâs usually timid, so why did it suddenly lose control today?â
Todd glared at him irritably. âWho the hell are you asking? Donât you know whatâs going on? Useless!â
Alyssa seriously contemplated and said, âNormally, horses exhibit abnormal behavior after a severe fright.
âHow is that possible?â another horse trainer exclaimed, âThis horse has been peacefully staying in the stable. No one touched it or let it out. How could it be scared out of control?â
Upon hearing that, Alyssa and Jameson shared a darkened expression.
Solana City Center was a high-profile gathering of business moguls Javier was busy chatting with familiar business tycoons.
âMr. Javier! Long time no see Surprised, Javier turned to see Dominic walking toward him with a champagne glass âOh, Mr. Dominic, nice to meet you,â Javier casually greeted.
Compared to Dominicâs warmth, Javierâs attitude seemed somewhat aloof. Despite being Winstonâs only brother and holding the position of vice chairman at KS Group, the majority of KSâ shares and industries were still under the control of Winston and his children.
Dominic was more of a figurehead. Even within the company, he lacked the influence Jonah held as the companyâs president. Naturally, Jonah was poised to inherit the KS conglomerate as Winstonâs legitimate eldest son.
In a few years, Dominicâs status would become virtually obsolete! Business circles always played this name of influence.
Javier might not like Winston, but at least Winstonâs status warranted a conversation. Dominic, on the other hand, was a different story.
âMr. Dominic, is Mr. Winston not coming? Are you here alone?â a tycoon curiously inquirer âWinston has been busy with family matters lately. He couldnât make it.â Dominic sighed with feigned concern.
âYouâve likely heard about Lylaâs recent struggles. Itâs been tough for her, almost unbearable. Winston fears she might do something drastic, so heâs been by her side day and night. Social events are the last thing on his mind.â
