Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 671

---

Seeing her all down in the dumps, Kruz flipped on his charm switch, cracking jokes and pulling out all the stops to make her laugh.

Thanks to his relentless efforts, Flora's mood had brightened a lot since she first got into the car.

Connor watched from the sidelines, letting out a silent sigh of relief.

He wasn't much of a talker and certainly not skilled at cheering up women. Right then, he realized having Kruz around was a blessing; at least Kruz had the gift of gab and could bring a smile to Flora's face.

When they got back to Shallow Bay, Flora headed straight to her room for a shower.

Afterwards, she casually picked up her phone from the table where it was charging and noticed several missed calls.

Calls from Kaylee, Cynthia Eilies, Jules, her dad, and her brother...

"Ding ding ding—"

Just as Flora was about to call Raul back, her phone rang again. It was Cynthia.

She hit the answer button.

"Flora, finally! I've been trying to reach you," Cynthia's excitement was laced with concern. "Flora, are you alright? We heard about what happened at the lab..."

The incident had blown up so much that even the police got involved. It was hard for anyone not to know by now.

Plus, there were tons of nasty comments about Flora online.

"I'm fine." Flora took a sip of milk from the glass on the table.

"We all know what happened to Alexa isn’t your fault. Don’t let the online trolls get to you," Cynthia advised gently.

She had met Alexa before and knew, much like Libby, she wasn’t exactly Miss Congeniality.

Her sudden suicide, though tragic, couldn’t be pinned on Flora.
