Chapter 124 I Care About You The opal was one of the finest pieces that they had seen. It appears slightly yellowish under the light.

Violeta intended to politely decline them, but Niall stopped her.

"Vio, accept it." After all, with the amount of money he brings to the Yurtlandia Chamber of Commerce each year through his contracts, Dylan could buy as much opal as he wants. Therefore, Niall felt that it was appropriate for Dylan to give Violeta the opal pendant.

Since Dylan's daughter had caused such a mess today, he had to show ssincerity even though Hayden was lenient with them.

Upon hearing this, Violeta politely accepted.

Violeta took both of the pendants.

After dinner, Violeta handed one of them to Hayden.

Hayden glanced at the opal pendant in his palm. "Why are you giving this to me?" Violeta replied, "Didn't you hear him? This is an apology gift for both of us. So, how can I keep both? Here, take one." Hayden paused and reached out to take it.

Holding the pendant up to the moonlight, he could see the structure of the stone within.

"Does your hand still hurt?" "It's fine. Do you want to take a look at it?" "Huh?" Violeta was surprised.

Hayden rolled up his sleeve to show her the wound.

The long whip mark looked quite painful.

Violeta felt quite guilty since Hayden had taken the blow for her.

Hayden let down his sleeve. "Are you feeling guilty?" "Of course, I don't like being indebted to others. Luckily I got my revenge for you, Nyla's injuries are definitely worse than yours. Actually, you didn't need to take the hit for me, I ... " Violeta had suffered much worse injuries when she worked as a stunt double.

Hayden interrupted her, still examining the opal in the moonlight, "If I hadn't taken the hit, you would be the one in pain." Violeta was suddenly at a loss for words.

Hayden looked at her and said, "You will have a scar." Given the distance between Nyla and Violeta at the time, the whip would likely have hit her shoulder and neck, where the skin is thin. It would hurt much more than the wound on Hayden's arm.

In her previous life as a stunt double, Violeta had suffered many injuries, and many of them had left scars because she didn't treat them properly.

She wouldn't mind having sscars, after all, practicing martial arts always comes with injuries. Besides that, the film set is chaotic and dangerous, making injuries inevitable.

She was a strong woman. She would rather endure her pain than ask anyone for help.

So, Violeta sighed and said, "Actually, having a scar doesn't bother me, but I couldn't accept it when people aroundget hurt because of me." "I'll care if you get hurt." "What?" "I'll care if you get hurt," he repeated.

Violeta kept quiet.

"Do you think no one cares? In fact, a lot of people care for you. Your parents, your brother ... and me." Hayden shifted his gaze to the white figure in the stable. "If no one in the world cares, I would still care," he added. Violeta's eyelashes fluttered and her heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, the profile of the person in front of her was etched deeply in her heart, and she would remember his words for decades to come.

They stayed at the inn for another day.

After breaking Nyla's record, Violeta becthe new record holder of the inn's horseback riding challenge.

Her nand twere in the Hall of Fame.

Julian was always curious about how Violeta had tamed Princess.

Before they set off for the next stop, Violeta went to the stable to feed the horse.

Julian took the opportunity to ask Violeta, "How exactly did you tPrincess? It's the first tshe's been so obedient." Violeta patted Princess's coat. "It's simple. I told her that if she didn't obey, I'd kill her and eat her up."
