Chapter 152

The early morning chaos came to an end, and Felicia didn’t bother to find out who would tow the Fuller family’s car away after she left.
It wasn’t until after she had left that Kayla finally snapped back to reality from the shock of the night before. Clinging tightly to Arnold’s waist, she looked up at him with teary eyes and said, “Arnie, I rushed over to see you and almost didn’t make it…”
Arnold opened his mouth, intending to say, “This slope isn’t high; it’s not as dangerous as you think.” However, the words were caught in his throat, and he ultimately swallowed them. Instead, he said, “It’s alright now. Don’t cry.”
Last night’s events must have scared Kayla terribly-just like when he first arrived at the scene panic-stricken. It was only after Felicia scolded him that he realized his concern was causing him to lose focus. The terrain looked frightening, but there was no real deadly cliff here.
However, it was too late to say such things.
Kayla clung tightly to Arnold, fearing that if she let go, he would disappear. Her pitiful appearance made it difficult for him to reject her.
Just then, a group of students who had heard about the incident rushed over to see the commotion and caught sight of Arnold and Kayla in an embrace.
Someone remarked, “Kayla arrived pretty quickly, didn’t she? She must have rushed over in the middle of the night. Talk about dedication!”
Kayla had been practically absent from college for a long time and wasn’t on the list for this training program. She had only gotten wind of the situation because her good friend, Olivia, had informed her to come quickly to assert her claim and ensure that the man she was infatuated with, Arnold, wouldn’t be taken away by Felicia.
Seeing this, Olivia couldn’t help but smirk. Although she felt some resentment toward Kayla after yesterday’s events, her hatred for Felicia was even stronger.
Anyone who could make Felicia’s life miserable was welcome in her book.
So, Olivia stepped forward without hesitation and said, “Kayla, what terrible duck you had, getting into a car accident. Thankfully, you’re okay. Otherwise, wouldn’t Mr. Lawson feel guilty for a lifetime?”
Her words were laced with sarcasm, and Arnold could clearly hear it. He shot her a glance, but Olivia merely scoffed and turned away, strutting off.
Kayla finally regained her senses after initially feeling scared. She began to pick up on the indifference on Arnold’s face, and her heart sank.
No one knew Arnold better than she did, and it was clear that something had happened over the past few days. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so distant and lost in thought in front of her
Feeling a wave of unease, she followed Arnold’s gaze and was taken aback to find that he was consistently looking in Felicia’s direction!
“Arnie, you haven’t been paying attention to me these past few days. You even hung up on me yesterday. Do you know I almost died? I was wondering if I’d ever see you again…”
As she spoke, Arnold seemed to tune her out completely.
Finally, she managed a pained smile and asked, “Arnie, who are you thinking about? Is it Felicia?”
This seemingly casual question drew an unexpected reaction from Arnold. He immediately denied it, his voice filled with resistance as he replied, “Don’t talk nonsense. How could be thinking about Felicia?”
His clear disdain was unmasked. While Kayla initially wanted to laugh, the smile slowly faded from her face.
A man’s excessive attention toward a woman, even if he verbally claimed not to like her, often indicated that he had begun to develop feelings.
