His expression suddenly stiffened; her words were unmistakably clear. The only bond between them now is their daughter.

His gaze gradually cooled, and the distance between them slowly widened. "Yes, it’s just for Ivy," he murmured, finally letting go of her hand and standing up to head to the cashier counter.

Mabel Quinn took a deep breath, her eyes once again settling on her daughter who was still playing, her thoughts unsettled.

In the afternoon, there is a parade at the amusement park. Naturally, the little girl had heard all about it from Mr. Kang, so she was extremely excited.

When the parade began, there was a broadcast announcement, and many visitors spontaneously walked to the sides of the park pathways, waiting for the parade.

Mabel and her group also moved with the crowd to the sides of the path, waiting for the parade. There were so many people, so it was crowded, and Mabel had to stand on tiptoe to see. However, her daughter and Kyle Kinston had no such worries; Kyle was tall, and holding his daughter, she had a good, unobstructed view.

The little girl giggled and shouted for Kyle to hold her higher so she could see more.

The parade music came closer, with a few carriages leading the way, followed by modified cars sprayed with colorful paint. On these carriages and cars, various cartoon characters were dancing or waving to the spectators on both sides, performing.

The surrounding spectators were also thrilled, clapping or calling out the names of the cartoon characters.

The little girl, in Kyle’s arms, waved her little hands energetically at the cute cartoon figures, giggling...

Suddenly, the sound of fireworks mixed into the music, landing near the hooves of the leading horses.

In an instant, the horses were in a panic. They no longer moved in neat rows but started to gallop wildly.

Two horses charged towards them. The spectators around Mabel Quinn were thrown into chaos, running, pushing, and colliding with each other. In the blink of an eye, many were pushed over, with some getting trampled.

Mabel Quinn was nearly knocked to the ground, but luckily a hand caught her in time. Then, Kyle Kinston’s voice came to her ears, "Don’t panic!"

Just those two words calmed her down.

The most urgent thing now was to quickly leave the area where the horses might charge towards.

Behind them, people were already knocked to the ground by the horses, crying out in pain. The previously joyful scene changed in an instant.

Kyle, holding his daughter in one arm and grasping Mabel Quinn with the other, ran forward continuously, while the bodyguards responsible for their safety emerged from the shadows, trying to stop the horses.

But there was still a horse that broke free of the reins, charging towards Mabel Quinn.

Mabel knew she should run fast, but her ankle injury had only recently healed; she couldn’t muster enough strength to run.

At this moment, Mabel wanted to escape, but her legs simply wouldn’t obey.
