Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 244

As soon as Dexter finished speaking, Charcoal suddenly let out a long, pained neigh. His front hooves reared up, and he nearly threw Angela off.

A wave of dizziness hit her, and she couldn't hold on. She swayed precariously on the horse's back.

At that critical moment, Dexter didn't hesitate. He lunged forward and grabbed Angela. They both fell onto the grassy land and tumbled on the ground for more than 30 feet.

Angela was absolutely stunned. She only knew that she had fallen into a solid and warm embrace before the world spun violently the next second. Her mind was nothing but a chaotic mess.

"Angela!" Dexter's anxious cry rang beside her ears.

The half-conscious Angela slowly opened her eyes and met his gaze. Dexter's eyes were filled with deep concern. His reddened eyes were a clear indication of how worried he was.

A scrape ran along the side of his face. The wound was obvious and jarring to look at.

"You… How are you?" A complicated mix of emotions surged within Angela. She reached out, wanting to touch his face.

But he caught her hand instead. "Do you feel any pain anywhere? Are you dizzy? Do your arms or legs hurt?"

Angela forced a weak smile. "I'm fine. What about you?"

Dexter let out a sigh of relief. "I'm fine, too."

But as soon as he said that, he broke into a fit of violent coughing.

Zayn arrived quickly with Mia. Both of them dismounted, and when they saw the scene before them, they were scared out of their wits.

"Angela! Are you okay, Angela? How did this happen? Charcoal has never been so out of control. Why would he suddenly go berserk? I'll make sure to investigate thoroughly and give you an explanation for this!" Mia exclaimed in a trembling voice that carried a hint of a sob.

All of them rushed to the hospital.

Angela was taken in first, as Dexter insisted that the doctors see her before him. Only after Zayn repeatedly urged him did he finally agree to be treated as well. And so, both of them were taken into the emergency room.

As the light above the emergency room doors lit up, the hallway fell into complete silence, leaving only the sound of anxious breathing and racing heartbeats.

Zayn sat beside Mia, who was as pale as a sheet. The two of them were probably the most worried ones there—especially Mia.

After all, the equestrian club belonged to her. No matter what had caused this incident, she wouldn't be able to shirk the responsibility for this incident.

"How did this even happen? How could things go so wrong so suddenly?" Mia frowned deeply. "We need to carry out a thorough investigation. We'll need to find out if it was a genuine accident or if someone caused this."

Zayn looked dumbfounded. "Something like this can't have been intentional, right? Who would be that malicious?"
