Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1049

Kate hung around, chatting with Flora a bit longer, before finally dragging herself away, clearly not wanting to leave. Once the Haines family was out the door, Jules jumped at the chance to talk to Flora.

He had some important stuff to discuss about a groundbreaking new medicine.

“Flora—uh—” Jules stammered, letting out a loud burp. Flora gave him a deadpan look and stepped back, unimpressed.

“Maybe you should just keep quiet,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm.

Jules just sighed and covered his mouth, looking like a scolded puppy. “Hey, I really need to talk to you about the new medicine experiment. Can you check it out when you get a chance?”

He claimed a 60% success rate so far. Those experimental drugs were still tucked away, awaiting Flora’s seal of approval.

After all, this wasn't just any medicine—it could alter the human body, boost physical prowess, and even extend lifespan. Such a revelation would definitely cause a global frenzy.

“Is something wrong with it?” Flora asked, frowning.

Jules wouldn’t have asked her to look unless there was an issue.

“No, it’s just—” Jules leaned in, whispering in her ear, cautious of the curious eyes around them.

Flora’s eyes widened in surprise after hearing him out. “I’ll come by tomorrow and take a look,” she decided after a moment.

“Great, I’ll wait for you then,” Jules said, giving his belly a little pat before heading off with Mr. Richard.

On the ride back, Flora couldn’t shake thoughts of the medicine Jules had described. According to him, anyone who took it would gain incredible strength and agility, even developing a mysterious internal power.

In ancient times, people performed feats like striking from afar, walking on water, and scaling walls—all thanks to this internal strength.

Flora had heard whispers about ancient martial artists before but never gave them much thought. But with Jules’ discovery, it seemed the world was even more mysterious than she'd imagined.

“What’s on your mind?” Connor asked, noticing how lost in thought she seemed.
