Substitute Bride For Young Master
Extra Part 1: Lake Minessota

The round-eyed little girl secretly stole a glance at the boy with a cynical face that seemed to be indifferent to the surroundings. The boy frowned and raised one of his eyebrows when other children of his age tried to get close or talk to him.

Thumping ....

Thumping ....

Thumping ....

Kinara held onto her chest and felt confused. He did not know what feelings made him excited and uncomfortable. Every time he looked towards that handsome Young Master Smith, his heart seemed to want to jump out.

The black Young Master's hair was always neatly combed. He still looks very handsome despite wearing only a collared shirt and casual pants. Among the crowd of other children, he looked very contrasting. His dominant aura made his peers look much younger than him.

Oh, where'd he go?

Kinara quietly infiltrated among the adults who were busy conversing with each other, slowly following the Young Master who stepped towards the lake.

The boy glared at some girls who tried to follow him, then slipped quickly behind the trees. He really doesn't want to be bothered by anyone.

Kinara's heart was pounding as he ran small to be able to follow the footsteps of the boy in front of him. He felt like a thief .. um, more precisely a puppy that was stalking his master.

Krrak!

Alex and Kinara both stopped as the sound of a dry twig being trampled resounded out loud. Kinara immediately lowered her head behind the bushes and covered her mouth. He drew and exhaled very slowly, afraid that the Young Master would expel him as well as his treatment of the other children.

One.

Two.

Three.

Kinara counted inwardly, then very carefully peered out from the small crack before her eyes.

“Fyuuuh ..”

He exhaled slowly when he saw Alex was back on his feet. Slowly, he got up and followed her. The girl knew her behavior was not right, but she could not resist the urge in her heart to always be close to the beautiful Young Master.

When they first met near the stables, he was hypnotized and could not forget the lonely angel-like face. Makes Kinara want to hold her hand and accompany her ....

“Oh! Careful, careful!” peeked Kinara when he saw Alex jump directly between the mossy rocks.

Be late. Alex lost his balance as his right leg spun and stepped on the slippery edge. His hands were waving through the air in search of a grip, but only empty air was reached.

“Akh!” he was strangled when his head hit the rock hard. The intense pain caused his head to explode, then his gaze immediately darkened.

“Young Master!”

The sound of Kinara's cry resembled a high-pitched squeak when he saw Alex's body rolled into the lake. The calm and clear surface of the water quickly turned red. Small waves hit the edge of the rocks, delivering a rancid aroma that makes nausea.

Kinara trembled, but forced his tiny legs to run as fast as possible into the lake. Without a second thought the girl immediately jumped down, kicking her here and there, trying desperately to remember the swimming movements taught by her father. The movement made the mud rise to the surface, making the originally clear water become turbid.

“Uhuk!”

Kinara choked and desperately tried to endure the nausea as the lake water mixed with mud and blood entered his throat. Even so, he still struggled as hard as he could to finally pull Alex's collar and twist the boy's face to face up.

Tears began to trickle down her cheeks when she realized Alex was not moving at all. He kicked back and moved his legs firmly, trying to hold their bodies both not dragged into the middle of the lake, or sucked into the mud.

The distance of the edge of the lake that was only left about two meters felt like thousands of miles were very draining. Moreover, Alex's body was much larger and taller than Kinara's.

Until finally when the little girl managed to trace the muddy ground under her feet, she immediately stood up and pulled Alex's body with both hands.

He did not care about his shoes that were embedded in the mud and left there, only continued to pull Alex's body until finally managed to land on the dry leaves scattered on the edge.

Regardless of her lungs being sick from running out of oxygen, Kinara immediately took off her socks, rinsed them in the lake, then placed them on the back of Alex's head that did not stop bleeding.

“T-young Master ...,” call him with vibrating voice. He blinked nervously and absentmindedly, not knowing what to do.

“Wait here, Sir. I will be back soon,” said Kinara while trying to get up, then run as fast as possible towards the field where the adults gathered earlier.

The girl ran like a fidelity, ignoring the thorns and dry twigs that pierced her soles. In his brain continues to imagine Alex's face lying helpless with eyes closed, so much blood and would not stop ....

Is he going to die, God? Is Old Young going to die? Don't let him die, please ....

Tears flooded Kinara's face again until her eyes blurred. He raised his hand to shrink back in tears, then stopped his steps abruptly when he saw a blonde-haired girl emerge from behind the trees.

“Hey!” he shouted while waving his hands.

He quickly approached the girl who looked the same age as him and said, “Go to the lake! Please accompany Young Master for a moment, I will seek help!”

“What happened?” ask the girl with a frown.

“Young Master got hurt, hurry up! Accompany her!” reply Kinara then ran back away.

His chest felt hot and painful. His heart throbbed with pain, but he ignored it and kept running. All his clothes were soaked, the mud began to dry on his calves, while the soles of his feet were sore and scuffed. However, his only concentration right now was for it to arrive at the campground as quickly as possible.

“Dad! Daddy!” he shouted with a shrill voice when he saw his father carrying a bag containing fishing equipment and walking towards the lake.

“What's up, Sweetie? What happened to you?” christopher Lee asked when he saw his daughter's messy appearance. I

a immediately put his luggage on the grass and was about to inspect his daughter's body.

Kinara brushed off her father's hand and said, “Quick! We must help Young Master! He fell into the lake!”

Christopher gasps. In a hurry he got up and pulled Kinara's hand.

“Still there. I can't take it myself,” Kinara replied as she started running small.

Again his eyes warmed up. He turned to his father and asked, “Will he die, Dad?”

“No. He'll be fine. Don't worry,” Christopher replied, trying to calm his daughter down.

“But ...” Kinara's steps suddenly stopped. “Dad ..?” call him with a little hesitation.

Up ahead, the blond girl he had met in the middle of the road was walking next to two bodyguards carrying Alex's body. They walked past Kinara and Christopher Lee just like that, as if the two were invisible.

“Hey!” call Kinara after recovering from her shock. He walked quickly, following in the blond girl who continued to babble at the two bodyguards beside him.

“Hey, you—“

“Shhht ..”

Christopher held his daughter's arms outstretched forward, about to reach out to the blonde girl's shoulders. He shook his head slowly and grabbed Kinara in his arms. He knew very well who the father of the girl was, and he did not want to take the risk if his daughter made a fuss with them.

“Let's go home and treat your wounds,” take Christopher slowly.

However, the little girl in his arms was just glued and stared straight ahead, at the growing crowd and drew closer to the bodyguard holding Alex.

“He will be fine, ‘kan?” whispered Kinara without blinking.

“Yes. He must be fine,” Christopher replied, “Come, find mommy and treat your wound ..”

Kinara did not reply, but he let his father carry him and walked towards the villa. The hysterical voices of Mr and Mrs Smith were clearly heard in the open air. Also the explanation of the red-haired girl who cleverly twisted everything. Kinara's body stiffened in his father's arms.

“Luckily I helped her in time,” said the red-haired girl as she looked down at Alex.

Kinara gasped and wanted to open her mouth, but again her father's headband made her undo the intention.

“She slipped. Oh, I pulled him over the edge. Fortunately at that time two of my bodyguards were quick to help, otherwise ...”

That annoying voice continued to echo in Kinara's ears. she felt extremely angry, desperate, and also unwilling ....

“Sweetheart?” call Christopher when he feels Kinara's head drooping down his shoulders.

He patted her on the back, but the girl gave no response. In a panic he grabbed Kinara's head, then found her little girl's eyes tightly closed.

The pungent smell of the medicine made Kinara feel nauseous. He wanted to move his head, but everything was very painful and heavy.

"Darling?"

Her mother's soft, worried voice made Kinara forcefully open her eyes.

"Mom's? Dad?" he called slowly when he saw his parents standing next to him.

"Oh, God .. thank goodness .. you scared me so much, Sweetie," said Rebecca, clasping her daughter's fingers.

"I'm fine, Mom. Just a little dizzy," replied Kinara. He saw the infusion that pierced his veins and looked at his parents in turn.

"So you passed out, your father was so anxious that he took you straight to the hospital" Rebecca explained when she saw her daughter in slight astonishment.

"Oh ...," muttered Kinara, "Um .. How is Young Master? Is he safe?"

Christopher nodded slowly. "She survived .. thanks to you ...."

Kinara smiled wryly.

"Yeah .. but people will think the blonde girl helped her" she said, throwing her face away, staring at the bleak hospital window.

Rebecca took a chair and sat down beside her daughter. He grabbed Kinara's face and looked at her gently.

"Dear, do you like it?"

"W-who?"

"Young Master Alex. Do you like it?"

"Mmm ... that ... that ...."

"It's ok, Sweetie, it's not wrong to like it. It was a pure and natural feeling to like someone. It's just ...."

Rebecca took a deep breath before continuing, "You'll soon forget about it as you grow up, so don't think too much about it. You must understand what mommy means, honey ...."

The woman looked down and kissed her daughter.

"Rest. We'll take care of you."

Kinara nodded and closed her eyes again despite not being sleepy at all. He just wanted to eliminate the discomfort that made his throat feel choked
