Chapter 715 Consuming Herbs
This time, Emmeline didn't decline Adam's help. Leaning against Adam's forearm, Emmeline slowly approached the horse.
"What a stallion," remarked Emmeline as she felt the beast's muscle.
"And he runs very fast too. You wanna try?"
"No, let me hang out with him for a while. He's so... docile."
"Yes, he is. I picked the most docile horse because I don't want you to be afraid," said Adam.
"Nightsky, do you want to be my friend?"
"You're like a kid." Adam smiled.
"Mr. Green, can I walk with him?"
"Sure," answered Adam. "Hold the reign and use his back to guide you. I will watch your back behind you."
"Thanks, Mr. Green."
Adam's heart almost leaped. Emmeline was showing appreciation toward him now.
"Don't worry. I will protect you." Adam pampered Emmeline further.
At first, Emmeline took small steps with Nightsky. All of a sudden, she mounted the horse in a speed no eyes could follow.
"Go!"
Before Adam could react, Nightsky had already became a dot in the horizon.
"Emma? Why charge out so suddenly?" Adam yelled.
"I'm just testing Nightsky!" Emmeline responded.
Adam was surprised. He didn't know Emmeline knew how to ride a horse. Meanwhile, Emmeline began her quest for herbs.
"Emma!" Adam tried to catch up to Emmeline. "You can't see. It's dangerous. Come back!"
But Emmeline was already too far for his voice to reach. "Dammit. Bring me a horse."
"Yes, Master."
"Stop calling me Master, for God's sake! Mr. Anthony! Call me Mr. Anthony!" Adam's personal guard could only nod and leave quickly.
"Emmeline!" Adam shouted into the loudspeaker he was holding. "Don't be afraid. This hill is surrounded by a wall. The horse can't escape. I'm coming to save you!"
Indeed, Emmeline soon found herself at the wall that marked the edge of the hill. She quickly dismounted and dug inside the bushes, looking for herbs. Luckily, she found 3 of the 12 herbs needed to concoct an antidote. However, the 3 types of herbs she found had mild toxic traits. She would have to ingest the rest of the antidotal herbs but there was no time for it. Without any hesitation, she stuffed her mouth full of those 3 herbs.
"Emma!" Adam's voice was inching closer.
"Curse it!" Emmeline mumbled. "How did he get here so fast?"
