"Sure..."
Alexa noticed Shawn was keen on standing up for Flora, so she didn't dare say much more and quickly left.
Without even glancing her way, Shawn turned back to Flora, his tone much gentler this time, "Flora, come with me."
Shawn took Flora to the lab, showing utmost dedication to his role.
Flora couldn't help but notice the dark circles under his eyes and how he occasionally rubbed his forehead, clearly in discomfort.
"Are you feeling alright?" Flora asked.
"Just an old issue," Shawn sighed. "I've had trouble sleeping since college, and it's only gotten worse."
"Let's not dwell on that. You've taken Anatomy 101, right? Come here, let me show you something."
Flora watched him, deep in thought.
The next day, Flora brought Shawn a small lavender sachet.
"For me?" Shawn asked, surprised as he took it.
Flora nodded, "Carry it with you. It can help calm your mind and might also ease your insomnia."
Shawn was skeptical about the sachet's effectiveness, but the fact that Flora had remembered his insomnia and brought him this gift the very next day touched him deeply.
"Thanks, Flora."
Shawn smiled as he slipped the sachet into his lab coat pocket.
Flora smiled back.
Receiving Flora's thoughtful gift made Shawn even more committed to teaching her. He brought in a small animal for her to dissect, guiding her step by step.
He expected Flora to be clumsy, but to his surprise, her cuts were steady and precise. A hint of admiration flashed in Shawn's eyes, and his opinion of Flora shifted.
Anyone recommended by Dr. Jules couldn't be bad!
Maybe they had been too quick to judge her before.
