âDr. Fairchild... You said you would definitely come to the horse racing event today. Please give me the medicine.â Shannon
pleaded, her eyes bloodshot from anxiety. âYou won't break your promise, will you? | will definitely be able to see you today,
right?â
âWhat's this? Madam, do you miss me?â Simon chuckled. His tone was mocking rather than affectionate.
âDr. Fairchild... Simon!â Shannon cried, tears welling up in her eyes. âI miss you... | really miss you! | miss you so much that it
feels like Iâm losing my mind!â
In reality, what she longed for the most was actually the âmiracle drugâ that could free her from her predicament. She had
completely abandoned any sense of shame for the sake of obtaining this medicine.
âAfter the horse race is over, please come to the resting area of the second horse track alone. Everyone will be at the first horse
track by then, and no one will be there. Iâll be waiting for you.â Simon instructed.
Shannon nodded eagerly, her eyes shining with excitement. âOkay! | will... | will definitely come to find you!â
After the spectacular opening ceremony performance, the competition officially began.
Every year, the horse racing event had two highlights. The first was the parade of the racehorses, where wealthy aristocratic
families spared no cost in acquiring pricey horses from overseas to take part in a showcase of their wealth. A variety of rare and
stunning horse breeds made appearances, trotting across the racetrack and creating a dazzling spectacle.
The second aspect was the horse race. Every year, the races held on the event day attract billions of dollars in bets. Some
gamble for social connections, some hope to win big at the races, while others compete for prestige. Not for fame, but for the
glory of victory!
The four prominent families have brought their cherished horses to the stables, ready and waiting to participate in the races.
Lance held a pair of binoculars and scanned the racetrack. He nudged the Wyatt beside him with his elbow and asked, âWyatt,
how much are you betting on my Big Baby today?â
âBig Baby? Why haven't you changed its name yet?â Wyatt frowned disdainfully. âWhat sins did this horse commit to deserve
such a name? | won't bet on it just because of that. It sounds like it wonât run fast at all.â
âTsk, | changed it long ago! Itâs not called Big Baby anymore. Itâs called Cyclone!â
Wyatt couldnât help but tease. âCyclone? While other horses run forward, does yours just spin in place?â
Lance was at a loss for words, while the family members surrounding them couldn't stop laughing. Bella was truly impressed. by
Wyattâs quick wit.
âWyatt, youâre getting stingier as you get older! Not only do you mock me, but you also refuse to bet on my horse! Are we still
friends?â
Lance pouted, acting like an old toddler.
â| won't place a bet. If | bet on my own horse, whether it wins or loses,
I'll be happy. But if | bet on someone
else's horse apdiit loses, Kwonbe!|
