“Hannah!! It feels Like ages since I’ve seen you! I’ve missed you so much!”
Grace’s sweet face had grown plumper, giving her a_ healthier appearance. She enthusiastically reached out for a hug from Hannah, but Hannah stepped back a bit, avoiding her.
“Hannah, what’s going on?” Grace looked at Hannah with a pout, a hint of hurt in her eyes.
“Don’t you want to hug me anymore?”
“It’s not that.” Hannah playfully pinched Grace’s cheek and said, “It’s because of my back injury, so I can’t hug you right now.”
“What? You got hurt?”
Upon hearing the noise, Lydia rushed downstairs and hurried over to Hannah’s side, her voice filled with concern.
“What happened? Are you hurt?”
“I am fine. No need to fuss over me..
Despite her assurances, Grace and Lydia were extra gentle as they helped Hannah sit on the couch.
Lydia, with tender concern, caressed Hannah’s face.
“Have you lost weight? Your skin doesn’t have its usual glow. Let’s see the injury on your back.”
Hannah gently restrained Lydia’s anxious hands, wearing a somewhat helpless expression.

“It’s okay. I’m not that delicate. I just got hit by a riding crop.”
Grace grasped Hannah’s hand firmly and glanced at her back with concern.
“What happened? Does it hurt a lot? Tell me, Hannah!”
“It’s alright. When it happened, I was too caught up in the heat of the competition to feel much.”
Lydia shook her head, voicing her concern.
“You know, staying unharmed is the priority. Don’t overdo it next time.”
“It’s you who worries me the most.” Hannah fixed her gaze on Lydia with seriousness.
“Your father is on his way to fetch you? Fill me in on what’s going on.”
Lydia and Grace exchanged a glance before both lowering their heads simultaneously.
Grace quietly raised her hand and admitted, “Actually, it’s all my fault…”
Hannah blinked, puzzled. She glanced at the two of them and inquired, “Why do you think it’s your fault?”
