As Felicia rushed closer, she quickly recognized the familiar license plate of the black luxury car that was hanging dangerously over the edge of the cliff. It was a vehicle from the Fuller family!
This meant that the person trapped inside was none other than Kayla.
Just as that thought crossed her mind, she heard Kayla's terrified voice from inside the car. "Arnie, help me! Save me!"
Arnold was also in a state of panic.
Last night, he received news that Kayla had come to Alverton, and he felt an overwhelming sense of annoyance.
He was already here on a mission from Matthew and had been growing increasingly frustrated with Kayla's nearly suffocating presence. She seemed to follow him everywhere, like a piece of gum stuck to his shoe that he couldn't get rid of.
He might have shown a hint of indifference and impatience during their phone call. Kayla, emotional as she was, started crying uncontrollably.
Feeling irritated by her cries, Arnold ended the call abruptly.
When dawn broke and he still hadn't received any updates from Kayla, he asked around, but no one had seen her arrive in the village.
Sensing something was off, Arnold called her again, only to be shocked by the news that she had been in a car accident. Now, she was trapped in the vehicle, teetering on the edge of a cliff.
Without wasting a moment, he called the rescue team and urged them to come as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, the villagers noticed the stranded car and formed a small group to help. They proposed a simple yet effective solution. First, they'd move the rocks to stabilize the vehicle. Then, they'd open the doors and let the people inside jump out.
However, Arnold instinctively felt this approach wouldn't work and furrowed his brows in concern. He feared that the villagers' methods, while well-meaning, could be foolish and might endanger Kayla's life instead of save her.
The rescue efforts hit a standstill.
When Felicia arrived, she overheard Arnold sharply reprimanding one of the villagers who had suggested the plan, saying, "Can you guarantee the safety of the people in the car? Can you assure me that this method has no risks? If not, we should wait for the rescue team!"
