Once Gaelpleted his review, he signed both copies of the contract, and the manager did the same. After each had their signed copies, Gael let out a sigh of relief, satisfied that he had sessfully aplished his mission at the racecourse.
The manager then added, "As our new business partner, you can now arrange for your mother’s transfer to our overseasb. I’ll have one of our doctorse over to assist with the transfer and oversee her health during the journey."
Hearing the manager’s words was enough to bring Gael to tears, as he had been holding back his emotions for so long. He nodded gratefully but knew he had many preparations to make to ensure his mother’s safe transfer overseas. He needed to manage the situation carefully to avoid rming his family, as their interference could potentially jeopardize her health and the entire process.
Gael then performed a deep 90-degree bow to both the manager and Hera, his gratitude evident. He felt especially indebted to Hera, realizing that without her intervention, he might never have had the opportunity to meet the elusive manager of the racecourse—even if he had camped outside the facility.
Hera and the manager allowed Gael his moment of gratitude, understanding that people sometimes need to express their emotions to find peace and move forward. Hera approached and ced a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "Don’t worry, things will get better," she said, her words soothing and filled with genuine warmth. Gael found sce in her promise, and a renewed sense of determination surged within him. He vowed to be stronger and more capable, with the resolve to protect Hera from any threats she might face.
Gael felt that this was the least he could do in return for the help he so desperately needed. Little did Hera know, she had just gained a fiercely loyal ally, one who would stand by her side through thick and thin, no matter where her path led or what challenges she faced. Hera had intended to keep Gael from crossing paths with Alice, hoping to limit Alice’s support, but she hadn’t anticipated that this would turn into a win-win situation for her.
Gael quickly excused himself to begin preparations for his mother’s transfer, prioritizing this above all else before diving into business matters. He went straight to the hospital to visit his mother’s ward. There, he allowed himself a quiet, heartfelt cry, but he remained vignt, careful not to say anything that could be overheard or detected by potential listening devices. Determined not to jeopardize his carefullyid ns, his focus on organizing the transfer intensified.
Meanwhile, on Hera’s side, the manager guided Hera, Bry, and his father to a private changing room near the Avery lounge. The manager’s assistant had already prepared riding suits for everyone, neatly arranged in their lockers, ready for them to change into.
Hera didn’t ask any more questions, as she was eager to change out of her maxi dress. She wanted to avoid any potential dirt or horse smell, especially since she had sses to attendter. Besides, she was excited about the opportunity to ride a horse, and it was clear to everyone that she was itching to get in a fewps. That enthusiasm was one of the reasons the manager suggested they all change into riding suits.
After changing into their riding suits, the four of them began their tour with the nearby lounges and facilities. They then proceeded to the stables, where hundreds of horses were housed. The stables resembled a warehouse more than a traditional stable due to the sheer number of horses and the variety of breeds on disy. Stable masters moved efficiently among the stalls, ensuring each horse was well-cared for.
Each horse stall had a namete on the door indicating the horse’s name and its owner. For every ten horses, there was a dedicated stable master ensuring meticulous care and attention. Horses without owners had nametes on their doors along with cards that tracked the number of times the horse had been used by guests. Once a horse reached a certain number of uses, the cards were collected and reced with a stamped mark from the stable master.
