Chapter 134: Risking His Own Life
Finally, Sarah seemed to hear Charles’s voice and turned to him and cried out, “Charles!”
Charles gritted his teeth and tried to bring the mad horse to a stop. He finally was able to reach over
and grab the reins and started to control the horse Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Charles was an experienced rider, with more than a decade of horse riding since high school. He
thought he had good equestrian skills. Once he had control of the reins, he knew he could control the
horse enough to keep Sarah safe, even if the horse was scared. However, the same moment he pulled
back Sarah’s horse, the horse stamped on some explosive firecrackers again.
Bang-Bang-Bang-Bang, the small firecrackers exploded, frightened the horse again. The horse was
about to start running off again, but Charles had control of the reins and stopped him, causing it to raise
its front legs high into the air in protest neighing loudly.
Despite Sarah's effort to hold onto the saddle, she was thrown off the horse by its powerful movement.
Terrified, she screamed. “Ah… Help me!”
Charles heard her cry out for help, her eyes wide open, “Sarah!” He screamed back as he saw Sarah
losing her grip. Charles had never been so frightened before, he was more afraid of Sarah or the baby
getting hurt than to lose his own life.
Charles had seen many people becoming disabled from falling off a horse and panicked at the thought
of what could happen to Sarah if she fell. Disregarding everything else, he jumped off his horse to
catch Sarah, who fell directly on top of him.
Though Sarah was not heavy, Charles got hurt on his back from jumping off the horse to save her life.
Disregarding his pain, he held Sarah tightly as his body smashed onto the hard ground. If Sarah and
the baby were okay, he didn't care about his own pain. The only thing that mattered right now was their
safety.
Sarah was scared that she would die if she fell off and did not expect Charles to jump down to save
her, risking his own life. Feeling a sense of relief when she felt Charles hold onto her, she grabbed onto
him as if her life depended on him. At that moment, she realized that Charles really loved her and was
willing to sacrifice himself for her. If that wasn't loved, what was that? Subconsciously, the two
embraced each other tightly.
Charles stood up and grabbed her shoulder, “Sarah, Sarah, are you okay? Is the baby alright? How are
you feeling?” he asked with extreme concern.
Seeing his pale face, Sarah finally felt how much he really loved her. She couldn’t help but start to cry.
Seeing her cry, Charles became even more anxious and asked, “Did something happen to you? What
is wrong? I’ll take you to the hospital right away!”
Sarah shook her head and said, “I’m okay, just moved from what you just did. You saved my life. I didn’t
expect that you loved me that much. Charles, I never thought that you care about me that much!”
Charles paused for a while, he understood what she was saying. When he was about to say
something, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his spine and had to close his eyes.
Sarah steadied him as she felt that he was about to lose his balance, and asked with worry, “Charles,
what’s wrong with you? What’s wrong?”
Charles tried to suppress his pain for a while until he finally answered in great pain, “It seems… my
back… got hurt…”
Sarah asked him, “Where? Where does it hurt?” Touching his back with her hand along his spine,
hoping that he was not injured there. Scared that he would be paralyzed, she suddenly started to
scream loud for help, looking around desperately trying to find somebody.
“Is anybody here? Anyone? Please, we need help! Help me!”
Finally, the workers heard her and came running toward them. Since Charles was related to their
employer, they were worried that if anything happened to him, they would be in trouble with their
employer for the incident. They drove them to the hospital as fast as possible.
Because Charles seemed to be in great pain, the workers paid more attention to him and ignored
Sarah as she appeared to be feeling okay. Sarah also was focused on Charles, disregarding her own
discomfort. She helped them to get Charles into a car and drove with them to the hospital.
Once at the hospital, Charles kept insisting on the doctor to see Sarah first. Holding onto the doctor's
hand, he pleaded, “Doctor, see my wife first, doctor, please check my wife first!”
But the doctor disregarded his plea and answered, “Mr. Thomas, you are critically injured, your wife
seems to be all right. You don't need to worry about her, she will be taken care of by the nurses!”
Sarah also tried to calm him down and said, “I’m okay, Charles, really! Just let them take care of you
first, don’t worry about me!”
But Charles couldn't help worrying about her and kept insisting for her to be seen before him until the
door to the emergency room closed and he pleaded couldn't be heard any longer. Once the door was
locked, Sarah was standing on the outside of the room in a silent hallway, and slowly started to come
back to her own reality.
She felt so relieved that Charles was finally attended to, but as she relaxed her stressful body, she
started to feel tremendous pain in her stomach. It felt like something was tugging at her stomach, and
as if her insides were to fall out anytime. She covered her stomach with both hands and slid slowly to
the ground, leaning against the wall.
Everyone started to look at her in surprise, and the nurses came running to help her, shouting. “Mrs.
Thomas, Mrs. Thomas!”
Sarah's face was pale as she curled up in agonizing pain, she could barely speak. Suddenly she
noticed that blood was running down her leg. Although it was not much blood, it was bright red,
shocking her to the core. She froze at realizing what was happening, staring down on her legs with
eyes wide open.
One of the female doctors glanced at her and immediately knew what was going on. She jumped up
and shouted, “Oh my god, are you pregnant? Why didn’t nobody tell me that she's pregnant? Nurses,
quick, prepare the room! She is having a miscarriage. Hurry up!”
