Chapter 77
“Blake?”
Afraid that something had happened to him, Yasmin crawled over and removed his snow goggles. The face she found under the goggles was tense.
Staring at her, Blake said, “There’s a chance my leg is broken.”
Having fallen into the pit just now, he heard a snap. The situation appeared to be quite
serious.
“Are you sure?” Yasmin was panicking. She quickly got off him and examined his leg.
“Which leg?” she asked.
“Left leg,” Blake replied.
She reached out and pressed his left leg. “Is it here?”
“Yeah.” As if in pain, he furrowed his brows and instructed, “Call for help.”
“Okay.”
With no time to waste, she looked up at the edge of the pit. Ivan and the others had already arrived. Everyone stood above, their faces showing concern.
“Are you both okay?” Ivan asked.
The snow pit was over 3.2 feet deep. If they were injured, it shouldn’t be too serious.
Yasmin climbed off Blake and looked up, answering, “I’m fine, but Blake seems to have injured his leg. He can’t move. We need to call an ambulance.”
Half an hour later, Blake was lifted into an ambulance.
Feeling guilty, Yasmin said, “Mr. Burke, Blake got injured because of me. I have to go to the hospital to take care of him. I’ll leave first. We’ll talk next time.”
“Okay, be careful on the road,” said Ivan as he saw her off onto the ambulance.
When Blake, who was lying inside the ambulance, saw it was Yasmin who was going to escort him to the hospital, he said, “I’m seriously injured here, and you still have the heart to flirt with your lover in front of me?”
Yasmin frowned and answered, “Lover? Flirting? I was just saying goodbye to him.”

“You broke my leg, and you’re speaking with so much confidence?” Speaking of which, Yasmin indeed felt guilty for hurting Blake.
Lowering her head, she said, “Isn’t that why I’m coming to the hospital with you to take care of you?”
That was more like it. Blake closed his eyes, and they headed to the hospital.
Joel put on his white coat as soon as he reached the hospital and followed a group of doctors into the operating room. The others waited outside.
Giselle asked, “What happened just now? How did you guys fall?
Yasmin looked up at Erik, who was standing in the corner. Since there was a hint of sorrow
in his eyes, he was probably already aware that he had caused trouble.
‘It was my fault. I accidentally bumped into her,” said Erik, admitting his mistake
voluntarily. “I just wanted to scare her. I didn’t expect her to fall.”
Yasmin did not quite believe him. She thought he had pushed her down the slope intentionally because he harbored prejudice against her.
Upon hearing that Erik took the blame, Giselle’s expression softened.
“No more next time. Skiing is very dangerous.”
“I know,” Erik replied, looking remorseful, likely feeling as bad as he looked.
Yasmin ignored them and waited in one corner, feeling strangely uneasy. It was because of her that Blake broke his leg. There was no way she could feel at ease now.
