His Ex-Wife Is A Billionaire (Evadne and Thaddeus) novel Chapter 337

Evadne's eyes widened in shock, her body tense, her lips quivering in disbelief!

She wasn't slow to react, but the event was so sudden. A full-bred, muscular horse was charging at her with the speed of a top-end sports car!

Human reaction time, even at its best, couldn't prevent this kind of accident!

“Mr. Chambers!”

The secretary, with a voice strained with fear, shouted out to Avery, desperately trying to reach him in time. But it was too late!

The wild black horse, panting heavily and with a manic glint in its eyes, was barreling straight towards Evadne!

Evadne's breath hitched. She wanted to run, but her legs felt as if they were nailed to the ground, frozen in fear!

“Evadne!”

Just in the nick of time, Avery lunged forward, arms outstretched to shield her from the impending danger. He pulled her close, then with a swift movement, they were sent tumbling away from the horse's path!

Crash!

Dust billowed around them as they hit the ground.

Avery's back took the brunt of the fall and Evadne cradled safely in his arms. Besides a few minor scratches, she was unscathed.

But the impact and the fall stirred something within her, a discomfort that twisted her insides into knots.

One could only imagine how much pain Avery must be in!

“Ave, are you okay?” Evadne, panic stricken, cried out, her eyes welling up with tears.

“I... watch out!”

Avery's face turned pale as a sheet. Ignoring the pain he was in, he held Evadne closer, rolling to the side just as the horse bucked and reared again!

“Whinny!”

The horse's front hooves shot up, missing Avery and Evadne by mere inches!

“Ugh!”

A sharp pain shot through Avery's back, leaving him drenched in sweat. His suit was practically soaked through with it!

“Ave!”

Evadne felt as if her lungs were being squeezed, making it hard for her to breathe.

Just then, the secretary and two horse trainers finally reached them, managing to subdue the frenzied horse. They injected the horse with a strong sedative, calming it down.

Under the influence of the medication, the horse finally settled down, the crazed look in its eyes slowly fading.

“Mr. Chambers! Mr. Chambers!”

The secretary rushed over to them, his face pale with worry. Seeing Avery lying on the ground, unable to get up, he panicked.

“How could you let this happen?”

The secretary, his face red with anger, berated the trainers, “If anything dangerous happens to Mr. Avery, I swear you two will pay!”

The trainers trembled in fear, unable to utter a word in their defense.

“Let's not talk about blame right now. We need to get him help!”

Evadne, her forehead beaded with sweat, instructed the secretary to call for an ambulance while she checked Avery for injuries.

“Where does it hurt? What kind of pain? Tell me while you're still conscious!” Evadne demanded, her voice carrying the authority of a doctor.

A smile tugged at the corners of Avery's lips, despite the pain he was in. “Evadne, seeing you so worried about me, I don't feel the pain anymore. Really.”

“Avery, is this the time for jokes?” Evadne, worried and frustrated, snapped at him.

Realizing that he had upset her, Avery bit back the pain and softly said, “My arm and my back hurt a bit.”

Before he could finish speaking, Evadne found the fracture in his arm.

Feeling the protruding bone, and recalling the terrifying incident, Evadne felt a pang of guilt.

“It's okay, Evadne.” Avery looked at her, his voice gentle and reassuring.

“Okay? Your arm is broken, Avery!” Evadne, her eyes red from holding back tears, shouted at him.

Even though he was the one injured, he was consoling her, which made her feel even more guilty.

“Don't worry. I'll take care of you. If a bone is broken, I'll mend it. Even if all your bones were broken, I'd fix them all. I promise you, I'll take care of everything.”

I'll take care of everything.

A warm wave of affection washed over Avery.

No woman had ever promised to take care of him before.

But Evadne did. That was one of the many reasons he was smitten with her.

“That's so strange!”

One of the horse trainers scratched his head in confusion, “This horse is usually the most gentle one in the stables. It's normally so timid. How could it suddenly go berserk like this?”

The secretary shot him a scathing look, “Who do you think you're asking? Do you even have a clue? Useless!”

“Horses usually react like this when they're severely spooked,” Evadne mused, a serious look on her face.
