Chapter 187
Felicia carefully placed Cloud on her lap.
When leaving Alverton, Felicia, like when she arrived, didn't take anything except for Cloud.
With Macey gone and the big dog at Romeo's house having just given birth to a litter of puppies waiting to be adopted, she decided to take Cloud with her.
She couldn't keep it at the Fuller residence. In her previous life, her hands had been crippled, and she also developed psychological problems, so she raised a cat. But the next day, the little cat was found dead on her windowsill.
It was Kayla's doing.
She remembered Kayla's smug look as she said, "The little cat is cute, but too bad it was unlucky enough to be yours, so it had to die."
Even though Felicia went to complain to Dexter and Myra, they found her troublesome. In their seemingly gentle yet dismissive tone, they replied, "It's just a cat. Kayla didn't do it on purpose. If you feel bad, we'll buy you another one."
Since then, Felicia never kept any pets again.
She had already decided to give Cloud to Stephan when the time came. If he didn't want it, she would keep it in her single dorm room.
The women in the back row fed Cloud snacks, occasionally playing with it. The atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Kayla and Arnold sat in the front row together.
When Kayla heard the noise from the back, a flash of displeasure crossed her eyes, but she didn't show it in front of everyone. She yawned, leaned comfortably on Arnold's shoulder, and coquettishly said, "Arnie, I'm tired. Can I sleep for a while?"Content held by .
"Mm."
After the shocking incident where she had come to find him and ended up in a car accident, he had become more indulgent toward her. He had been taking care of her these days and fulfilled every little request she had.
The trip back to Khogend was an eight-hour journey, with breaks at rest areas along the highway.
Felicia also took Cloud off the bus to get some fresh air.
Cloud ran around joyfully but never too far. Occasionally, it would roll over in front of her, looking clumsy and adorable.
She took several close-up shots with her phone, but she couldn't help but think back to Stephan's kiss that day at the hospital.
Since that day, there had been no word from him, not even a phone call.
She couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
It was for the best. Everything that happened before was in the past, and they were even
now. No one needed to cause trouble for the other, and she could pretend that night never happened.
After resting enough, everyone got back on the bus.
Once everyone was seated, Andrew stood up and counted the number of people. After confirming everything was correct, he allowed the driver to continue.
The women sitting beside Felicia were scrolling through their phones and talking about the latest gossip. They were all excited and pulled her into the conversation.
She glanced at their screen. It was a video from a luxury brand's event featuring the famous young actress Abbie, who had just been named their global ambassador.
Abbie? The name sounded familiar.
The women around her were already discussing it. One woman said excitedly, "A global ambassador! They're giving such a huge opportunity to a rookie with no major work yet! Tsk... Lance is really something!"
"Not only that but apart from this global ambassador role, didn't she also announce a few other endorsements recently? Other celebrities can't even keep up with her rise!"
"I heard her first movie is coming out the day after tomorrow, and she's got top-tier stars in supporting roles. There's no way this movie will flop!"
"Wow, that makes me even more curious about her backer. Whoever supported her must have huge power and financial resources to raise her so high!"
"You guys still don't know? The backer is a big shot from Seldvale, one of the wealthiest and
most powerful people!"
"Holy crap!"
