Jaylene’s heart leaped with joy as she again urged Juno forward. However, Juno unexpectedly went berserk this time and darted around the racetrack. It leaped forward and backward in an attempt to throw Jaylene off its back.
Jaylene was tossed so violently that she nearly fell off the horse. She clung desperately to the horse’s neck and shouted Keegan’s name loudly.
Keegan’s expression changed, and he was prepared to go forward when Stella grabbed his wrist.
“You’re injured,” she said.
Keegan’s face tightened, “Jaylene might die if she falls!”
A shiver passed through Stella’s heart. She clenched her fist and choked, “Do you care that much if something happens to her?”
“She saved my life,” Keegan said with a serious expression.
Stella closed her eyes momentarily, “Fine, I’ll repay this debt for you.”
Saying that, she pushed Keegan out of the racetrack, determined to handle the situation herself. Through gritted teeth, she added, “I’m not going to help her if you come in here!”
With that, she quickly mounted another horse.
Keegan’s heart tightened. “Come back!” he angrily said.
Stella ignored him and tightened her grip on the reins. She headed toward Jaylene with determination.
