Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1198

After swallowing the pills, Flora felt no different. She eyed the bottle of potent medicine, hesitating for a moment before deciding to throw caution to the wind. She tipped the bottle back and downed the remaining nine pills—an audacious move that would have surely made Jules scream if he'd witnessed it!

Yet, nothing happened. Flora frowned. Ten pills at once should have had some effect, right? It was as though the medicine was a dud on her, like her body was just absorbing it without any consequence.

Feeling frustrated, Flora lay down to sleep, but instead of finding rest, she felt increasingly hot, a feverish heat building with every passing moment... Suddenly, she jolted awake and sat up with a start!

...

Downstairs, Jules was worried about Flora and had confided in Connor about her request for the potent medicine.

"Martial World?" Connor repeated, his gaze pausing, not in shock but with a mix of emotions, as he tightened his grip on the newspaper.

"Yeah," Jules confirmed. "Flora took a whole bottle of that strong stuff. I'm worried something might happen to her. Keep an eye on her if you can."

After chatting with Connor a bit more, Jules left. Connor sat on the couch for several minutes, deep in thought, before heading upstairs to his study.

He switched on his computer and typed in a URL. A video call window popped up, and he answered it.

"Boss! You finally logged in!" said the person on the other end, whose dark complexion was offset by bright white teeth and lively eyes, giving him a humorous appearance. He wore an army green jacket with a badge on his chest—a jasmine flower with the letters "FIND."

Martial World wasn't quite ancient, but it was behind the times, with little advanced technology and minimal surveillance. Many factions wielded power, and disputes often spilled over into the ordinary world, causing chaos and even danger for regular folks.

That changed a decade ago when FIND emerged, creating an enforcement team with the muscle to keep the major families in line. Those who didn't comply faced electric shocks and a good thrashing. Since then, Martial World had calmed down. Families feared FIND and dared not act rashly.

The man speaking was Jonathan, the head of FIND's enforcement team—a name that carried a lot of weight.

"Any unrest in Martial World lately?" Connor asked.

"Things have been pretty calm, but the Schuler family sent people down, supposedly to a medical base," Jonathan replied.
