Chapter 74: Shocking News

"You won’t believe it, Frel. Really, even I find it hard to believe." Dara began pacing back and forth in front of me, her hands moving enthusiastically through the air. "If you knew, you’d be just as shocked as I was, Frel."

"Stop spinning around like that, Dara! My head is getting even dizzier watching you," I exclaimed while holding my temples.

Instead, Dara chuckled and stopped right in front of me. "Your dizziness will disappear and be replaced by a heart attack when you hear this!"

I rolled my eyes. "Of course, but first tell me who it was."

With a quick movement, Dara scooted closer to me. She stretched her hand toward my forehead. "You don’t have a fever, do you? Don’t faint again after I tell you."

"I’m already fine! Don’t exaggerate." I brushed her fingers away from my skin. "Tell me now or not at all!"

"All right. I’m just too into the story, Frel." Dara stepped back slowly and took a deep breath. "The person who caught you at that time, Frel, was none other than ... Kenn."

I froze instantly.

Did I hear that wrong? My hearing was still working properly, right?

I did notice Kenn’s expression change in shock when my balance faltered, but—

"How is that possible?"

"See? You’re shocked!" Dara clapped her hands once, her face looking very satisfied at my stunned reaction.

I nodded enthusiastically, following Dara’s way of speaking, just so she wouldn’t sulk and stop telling the story. That would definitely not be fun.

"Quick, tell me the details! Don’t leave anything out," I urged again.

"I remember that Kenn suddenly ran over and caught you. Kevan seemed to shout your name, but he was slower than Kenn."

"Really?" I still found it hard to believe.

"Seriously. Why do you look like you don’t believe me? I’m telling you, yesterday I saw Kenn do a scene like in Chinese, Korean, or Thai dramas, you know? Basically, it was very impressive. You’re so lucky, Frel. I want a moment like that too."

I was startled when Dara suddenly pulled at the hospital blanket I was wearing, then squeezed it cutely against her chest.

"Yeah, but don’t just pull someone else’s blanket, Dara!" I frowned in annoyance.

"Sorry, I didn’t mean to." Dara adjusted the blanket on my body, while her mouth kept chattering nonstop. "Yesterday, when everyone asked Kenn to take you to the infirmary, he didn’t pay any attention to us at all. Instead, he ran in panic and brought you to this hospital using Mr. Ahmad’s car."

"So, the initiative to take me to the hospital also came from Kenn?"

"Exactly! Even though Mr. Ahmad had offered to drive himself, Kenn still insisted," Dara added with sparkling eyes. "Kenn is so romantic, Frel. He carried you in a bridal style. Did you hear that? Bridal style! Ah, I’m so jealous of you. Kenn, why couldn’t it be me instead?"

After that, I no longer paid attention to Dara’s excessive lament. My mind was focused on only one thing.

Why was Kenn being so kind to me?

Everyone knew what our relationship was like whenever we met. It was nothing but arguments after arguments. Moreover, his words had always been harsh toward me. There had never been even the slightest tenderness.

It was natural for a big question to arise in my mind about his change in attitude. Especially since lately I had often ordered him to do many things, he should have held a grudge against me, not done the opposite.

I roughly scratched my hair. It was truly difficult to understand Kenn’s way of thinking.

"Frel! Are you listening to me?" Dara waved her hand right in front of my eyes.

"What were you saying earlier?" I jolted as Dara’s voice struck my ears again.

"As usual! You must be daydreaming about your savior prince, right?" Dara teased while nudging my shoulder.

Dara pulled a chair and sat closer to me. "So, here’s the thing. I just said that now Farah has left our school."

"What? Are you serious, Dara?"

"I’m two hundred percent serious, Frel! Rumor has it she suddenly resigned this morning," Dara whispered in a secretive tone.
