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.
