Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 553

Flora stood up, shaking off her lazy demeanor and replying politely, "Professor, you're being too kind."

Even though she didn't particularly like Dr. Ray, she admired his ability to handle things with such grace. Apologizing to someone who could be his granddaughter in front of his students was something few could do.

This thought softened Flora's tone considerably. Dr. Ray noticed her change in expression and couldn't help but smile, but his gaze turned icy again when he looked at Alexa standing nearby.

"Alexa, come here," Dr. Ray called out coldly.

Alexa had a pretty good idea of why Dr. Ray wanted to talk to her, and she clenched her hands tighter by her sides. Taking a deep breath, she slowly walked over to Flora.

"Flora... about what happened before, I lost my mind. I'm really sorry. Please, don't hold it against me..."

Rather than have Dr. Ray force her to apologize in front of everyone, Alexa decided to take the initiative. It was a small way to save face.

"I was really out of it then... Dr. Ray has already punished me. These past days have been unbearable..."

Her voice cracked, not from acting but from genuine emotion. She truly felt wronged.

She'd always been a top student, a teacher's pride. Now, she was scrubbing toilets, doing the most demeaning tasks, and putting up with everyone's whispers. Meanwhile, Flora was back in the lab, basking in glory.

Sure, she had tried to hurt Flora, but Flora hadn't suffered any major setbacks. Instead, Alexa ended up getting hurt. Her hand had taken nearly a week to heal. She was the real victim here!

No one in the lab said a word. They knew it wasn't their place; only Flora had the right to forgive or not. Alexa's actions had indeed crossed the line. If Flora hadn't been truly talented and aced her exams, she would have been the one suffering in silence.
