Chapter 1523


    "Um, well..." Donovan stuttered. He was ncing nervously between Lysander and ric and was


    unable to string his words together coherently. He definitely didn''t have the nerve to bet with


    Lysander.


    Lysander''s wealth was leagues beyond his own - he was just a humble manager, not in a position to


    gamble away his savings.


    Lysander, with a look of disdain, briefly turned his deep-set gaze towards ric and said, "Do you


    think everyone''s as keen on betting over everything as you are?"


    ric''s lips twitched, "Fine, you guys watch the game. I''m off to ride with Ethan."


    ric cast a longing nce at Lysander''s legs.


    If only Lysander wasn''t confined to a wheelchair, they could have witnessed his impressive


    horsemanship.


    Unfortunately, with Lysander''s current condition, that spectacle was off the table.


    ric and Ethan headed towards the racetrack, with David wheeling Lysander in the same


    direction. Politely turning back, David invited Donovan, "Donovan, care to join us?"

    "Oh, yes, of course..." Donovan, ttered by the invitation, hurriedly grabbed his briefcase and got


    up.


    At the racecourse.


    Hertha picked out a lean horse and changed into her riding gear. Striking a pose in front of


    Thssa, she asked, "Thssa, do I look cool or what in this outfit?"


    "Absolutely dashing," Thssa chuckled and nodded.


    "Ha, I thought so too. Growing up, I always admired those heroic knights on their steeds in the


    movies. Now it''s finally my turn," Hertha said with a beaming smile.


    "Just be careful. Safety first," Thssa reminded her yet again.


    "Got it, I''ll be careful," Hertha assured her, then approached her horse.


    Following the staff''s demonstration, she sessfully mounted the horse. With a gentle flick of the


    reins, the horse took off.


    The moment the horse started moving, Hertha leaned back dramatically.


    "Hertha!" Thssa''s heart skipped a beat in fright.


    Thankfully, in the next moment, Hertha regained her bnce, sat upright, and started to guide the


    horse with the reins in her hand.


    Seeing her be morefortable with the reins, Thssa''s heart finally settled down.


    "You and Hertha must share a deep bond," a deep, maic voicemented from behind.


    Thssa, who had just calmed down, tensed up again. Turning around, she saw Lysander in his


    wheelchair, pushed by David.


    Noticing Thssa''s attention, David let go of the handle and nodded slightly towards her before


    moving away, leaving Lysander and Thssa some space.


    Back when Lysander was unconscious, there wasn''t a moment Thssa didn''t wish for him to wake


    up. Now that he was awake, seeing him brought a sudden sense of unfamiliarity and tension.


    "Hertha and I have been through thick and thin together, so of course we''re close," Thssa


    replied, her heartbeat quickening at Lysander''s question.


    "Would you consider those three years as we going through thick and thin?" Lysander''s deep gaze


    fixed on Thssa as he suddenly asked.


    The moment ric had mentioned his grandfather''s interference, Lysander understood. The truth


    was, Thssa had been the one by his side for those three years. It was Thssa who had cared


    for him, not Rosalind!


    "When will you and Rosalind decide to get married? Let me know. I''ll make sure to attend,"


    Thssa said, her heart pounding even harder at his question, but she fought to keep her emotions


    in check. She needed to stay clear-headed to avoid falling too deep.
