In the Lap of Luxury novel (Grace and Benjamin) novel Chapter 487

Soon after that, the race began.

The 800-meter race was a long-distance running event, and Grace stayed in the top three the moment the gun was fired.

When they reached the second round, her strength began faltering, and her speed gradually slowed.

At that moment, Xander suddenly popped up from nowhere and began running with her outside the track.

"Gracie, adjust your breathing and maintain your rhythm. Inhale with every three steps and exhale with three steps …"

His words echoed in Grace's ears, and she began to instinctively adjust her movements and rhythm. She began to speed up slowly.

In the final sprint, Grace crossed the finish line in third place.

"Yay! I can't … I'm too tired." She panted. "Let me rest for a while."

"I want to lie down." As she spoke, Grace's legs buckled, and she was about to collapse on the track.

But in the next second, Xander grabbed her arm.

"You just finished running, and you can't sit down straight away. I'll help you walk slowly. Sit down and rest when you've adjusted."

"No, I'm too tired."

"It'll be fine. Let's walk slower."

Xander held her arm and walked slowly, adjusting his own breathing as well. At that moment, Victor and Caleb ran over and asked in concern, "Gracie, are you okay?"

When Grace saw Caleb, her energy was restored. "Caleb, I'm in third place! Don't forget our bet."

Caleb smiled knowingly and answered her readily, "Not bad! Not only did you finish running, you even won a prize! Fine, I'll take care of all the snacks you buy this year."

"Deal! I also want to eat lots and lots of delicious food!" Grace was delighted.

"No problem."

Grace turned to look at Xander. "Xander, what do you want to eat? You don't have to be polite with Caleb. If you hadn't run the last round with me, I definitely wouldn't have been able to last until the end."
