Wayne suddenly shoved Ivy, causing her to tumble down the slope.
At the bottom of the slope, there was a jagged boulder.
Without a doubt, Ivy was headed straight for it.
Max, in the nick of time, threw himself in front of Ivy, taking the hit for her.
Ivy sat dazed in the middle of the slope. Blood started to trickle from her forehead as she must have hit it on something.
“Ivy!”
Coming back to his senses, Wayne panicked and tossed away his crutch, rushing towards her.
But seeing Wayne approach, Max sprung from behind Ivy, baring his teeth in an aggressive stance, growling menacingly at Wayne.
He was keeping Wayne from coming close.
“Max! What are you doing?” Ivy quickly embraced Max, “That's my dad, what’s gotten into you!”
Max glanced at Ivy.
Then, baring his teeth again, he looked at Wayne, flicked his ears twice, and withdrew his aggressive stance.
He then turned around and started barking at Ivy.
“Ivy!”
Wayne rushed over, knelt beside his daughter and saw the blood on her forehead, his face instantly turned pale.
“Dad, I’m okay! I really am!” Ivy quickly waved off his concern, but could only lift one hand.
She looked down and then realized her left arm was in unbearable pain.

Rosalynn received a call and hurried home.
“Ivy!”
As she entered the house, she rushed over to Ivy who was sitting with a cartoon plaster on her forehead.
“Mom, I’m okay, Larkin fixed my arm, it doesn't hurt anymore!” Ivy spoke, choking back tears, her eyes still wet.
Rosalynn looked towards Larkin.
