After Jaylene landed, Keegan and Stella did not go far before coming to a stop.
Stella turned to say something to Keegan, but he ignored her and headed straight for Jaylene. She tightened the reins and dismounted the horse.
Jaylene had a minor scrape on her hand, but there were no significant injuries apart from that. Juno’s speed had decreased significantly when Jaylene fell off, preventing substantial consequences.
However, Jaylene was still in shock. Stella had experienced the terror of being tossed around on horseback when she learned to ride, so she understood what Jaylene was feeling, Jaylene sat on the ground, red-eyed and on the verge of tears. Upon seeing Keegan, she felt even more distressed. At that moment, she could not help but call his name.
Keegan did not answer her. He squatted down, grabbed her hand, and softly said, “Try moving your limbs to see if they’re alright.”
Stella’s face was tense, “Juno had already slowed down when she fell off from him. She’s fine.”
Jaylene leaned against Keegan and followed his instructions by moving her arms and legs. After confirming that she had not broken anything, Keegan asked, “Apart from your hand, do you feel pain in any other areas?”
Jaylene shook her head with reddened eyes. “Keegan, I was so scared,” she said hoarsely.
“Come here. You’re fine now,” Keegan comforted her in a low voice.
Stella pursed her lips, suddenly feeling that her presence was unwanted.
She was about to turn and leave when Jaylene suddenly stopped her, “Stella, you clearly know how to tame Juno. Why did you lie? Were you deliberately deceiving me to get on the horse?”
Stella looked coldly at her, “When have I told you that I couldn’t tame Juno?”
Jaylene calmed down and recalled the conversation they had. Her tone became sharper, “You said that Juno only allowed Keegan and Grandma to touch it.
