Chapter 74: Hospital
As soon as we made it back to the stables, we told the stablehand what happened and called for an ambulance.
I walked Lark and Christian’s black horse back to the pasture while Christian was ensuring that the older man was okay.
Thankfully, the island was relatively small, and it didn’t take long for the ambulance to show up and take the man and his daughter to the hospital.
"Won’t you come with us, Christian?" asked Cherie with a pleading expression.
"Sweetie, don’t bother Christian. We already disturbed his outing with this young lady enough. Now that the paramedics are here, I’m okay," the older man smiled at his daughter.
I glanced at Christian, noticing his conflicted look. Though I didn’t know who these people were to Christian, I could tell that they were important to him.
"Why don’t we go? It’ll give you some peace of mind knowing that everything is okay, right?" I said as I gently touched Christian’s arm.
Cherie’s eyes flickered from my actions, but she only smiled sweetly.
Christian turned to look me in the eyes. His expression was full of gratitude, "Thank you, Leslie. I’ll explain on the way."
He turned and nodded at the older man, "We will follow you to the hospital."
With everything settled, the ambulance left with the father-daughter pair while Christian and I followed behind in the car.
