Chapter 371
“Don’t talk nonsense! Give me the anesthetic.”
Maurice couldn’t wait any longer. He was afraid that Eliana’s life would be in danger. He immediately asked the staff to prepare the anesthetic and got on the horse.
“Mr. Moran, you can’t go. It’s too dangerous.”
Harriet suddenly stood in front of the horse and stopped Maurice. It was her wish that Eliana died here today. How could she let him risk his life to save Eliana?
“Get out of my way,” Maurice snapped, looking at her impatiently.
His murderous voice made Harriet tremble all over. But she gritted her teeth and didn’t move.
However, Maurice just ignored her. He took the anesthetic from the staff and galloped to chase after Eliana.
Harriet still stood there, so dust and dirt splashed all over her beautiful face.
She was so angry that she screamed, “Eliana! You abominable bitch!”
She slumped and hit the ground with her fists.
No matter how resentful Harriet’s words were, Eliana couldn’t hear them now. She was busy trying to save herself.
The staff was right. This mare was really hard to tame. Although she was a champion in horseback riding before, she couldn’t get the mare to calm down.
She couldn’t help wondering if she would just die here today.
Thinking of this, she panicked.
“Eliana, are you okay?”
Eliana suddenly heard an anxious voice behind her. She looked back with difficulty and found Maurice riding a horse and chasing after her with an anesthetic rifle.
“Don’t move. Just wait.”
When Eliana saw that Maurice was about to use the anesthetic rifle, she immediately leaned on the back of the mare and tried to steady herself.
The next second, the anesthetic needle hit the mare’s ass accurately.
It neighed and gradually slowed down.
Maurice took advantage of this opportunity to approach Eliana.
“Hurry! Give me your hand.”
Maurice held the rein with one hand and reached out to Eliana with his other hand.
At this moment, Eliana suddenly felt less afraid when she saw his hand reaching out to her.
She took a deep breath and stretched her hand. It was trembling, but she tried her best to steady it.
As Maurice saw that her hand was about to touch his, fine sweat appeared on his forehead. He stared at Eliana intently and reached his hand further to her.
They were almost there.
When their hands were about to clasp, a glimmer of hope flashed in Eliana’s eyes.
“Hurry! Get it!”
At this moment, the staff came to capture the mare.
They rushed towards the mare with a big net. It had almost calmed down. But when it saw them, it was so startled that it turned around and ran back.
Maurice was so shocked that he was caught off guard and almost fell down from the horse he was riding.
Eliana was so frightened that she held the rein tightly and could only let herself pass by Maurice.
She had no other way out. She was on her own now.
Knowing that there was still some time before the anesthetic took effect, Eliana could only grit her teeth. All she could do now was try her best to buy some time to save herself.
“Don’t be scared, Eliana,” she told herself.
“You were good at this when you were a child, right? You can do this now!”
To conquer her fear, Eliana recalled the happy memories when she rode horses with her father in her childhood. And instead of holding the rein tighter, she tried to sit up and learn to control the mare.
This time, the mare slowed down and gradually calmed down.
Maurice had been following closely behind Eliana. His eyes never left her as he worried that she might fall off the back of the mare.
However, he found that instead of being afraid, she sat upright bravely and tamed the fierce mare under her.
Because of the fierce running, her ponytail had long spread out. As her black hair danced with the wind, she looked so beautiful, although her face had turned pale with fright.
She looked different from the usual Eliana.
Maurice’s heartbeat went abnormally fast. How could he not fall for such a beautiful and brave woman?
Finally, the mare stopped running.
Eliana let out a sigh of relief, still holding the rein tightly. She dismounted from the horse, shivering.
