From Ashes of Scandal to His Embrace novel Chapter 78

“It hurts? Good. It should. If Laurinda hadn’t risked everything to pull you out, you’d be dead right now. You had no business touching her horse in the first place. If you want to get yourself killed, fine, but don’t drag anyone else into your mess.”

“Adah, this isn’t the Charles estate. Nobody here is going to pamper you. Move aside.”

Irvin glanced at Laurinda’s pale, strained face and felt his anger flare. He wanted Adah to pay for what she’d done.

After Adolphus finished his acupuncture, some color returned to Laurinda’s cheeks.

Laird stood nearby, watching her anxiously. He leaned in, voice low. “Is she really in bad shape?”

“Her pulse is still erratic. She needs more tests.”

“The ambulance is here!” someone from the staff yelled as the vehicle drove onto the grounds.

Adolphus saw the uneven path in front of them, so he bent down and carefully scooped Laurinda into his arms.

Laurinda reached up weakly, grabbing his collar. “Wait...”

Adolphus paused, looking down at her, her face covered in sweat. “What is it?”

“Kent... Have Lacy get Kent checked out. That woman kicked him, he might be hurt.”

Hearing Laurinda worry about the horse even now made Adolphus a little mad. His voice dropped. “Seriously? You’re in this condition and still thinking about that horse?”
