Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1191

“Flora.”

A soft knock on the door announced Connor’s arrival. The Crimson crew quietly made their exit, leaving just the two of them alone.

Connor settled himself by the bed, gently pulling Flora into his embrace. “How’s the injury? Nothing too serious, I hope?”

“It’s not a big deal,” Flora replied, wrapping her arms around Connor’s waist. Her fingers brushed against the taut bandage on his abdomen. They were finally safe, but a weight still lingered in her chest.

Her thoughts drifted to Jack. Their paths had been so different. He’d lied, using her parents to lure her here. Yet, in the end, he had sacrificed himself, protecting them, losing his life in the flames.

Sensing her somber mood, Connor seemed to know what was on her mind. He quietly fished out a candy from his pocket, unwrapped it, and offered it to Flora.

“Here, something sweet might help.”

The tangy fruit candy hit her taste buds with a zing. With the candy tucked into her cheek, Flora mused, “Connor, let’s check out the lab.”

“Okay.”

Though she should’ve been resting, Flora was determined to see the lab, and Connor didn’t argue. It was time to have a look.

He draped a coat over her shoulders and carried her out.

From the outside, the lab seemed fine, but inside, it was a mess of destruction.
