Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 912

Flora hesitated for a moment mid-step. Then, she felt Connor's hand settle gently but firmly on her shoulder.

"Don't look back. It's a mess," he said.

"Okay," Flora replied with a soft chuckle, continuing her walk with a calm demeanor.

Outside the Reyes household, the scene was gruesome. Riley was clutching his blood-soaked right hand, whimpering in despair. His hand was utterly ruined! The bullet had shattered his hand bone completely. Beck holstered his gun, looking down at Riley with a smirk. "A sharp tongue has its consequences," he said.

Inside...

"So, what did you get me?" Flora asked, resting her chin in her hand as she looked at Connor.

"I stumbled upon some top-notch herbs at the black market. Thought you might need them," Connor said, pulling out a pouch from his coat and handing it over.

He wasn't entirely sure if Flora needed them, but he couldn't resist the urge to buy them when he thought of her. Flora opened the pouch and found exactly what she had been searching for: some of the finest herbs, including a few she'd been hunting for a while.

With Raul's birthday around the corner, she had planned to craft a special incense to protect his heart and extend his life. The missing ingredients had held her back, but now Connor had brought them to her.

"Connor, we are so in sync!" Flora exclaimed, giving him a light kiss on the cheek.

"As long as you're happy," he replied.

"There’s more than enough here; I could make a batch for you too!"

"No need," Connor said with a gentle shake of his head. "You're already swamped with the Reyes family's issues. You need to rest."

The young lady really did need some downtime.
