Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 916

"How did we miss her?" The reporters scanned the area but couldn’t spot Flora, leaving them puzzled.

"Well, Flora's situation is a bit unique. She stayed back on Lone Island and didn’t come home with us," Mr. Tanner explained with a cough.

"Why didn’t she return?" one of them asked.

"Was she detained by the folks on Lone Island?" another chimed in, anxiety clear in their voice.

Could it be that the people of Lone Island, impressed by Flora's remarkable talent, couldn’t bring themselves to let her go?

"No... that's not it," Mr. Tanner said, his lips twitching at the outlandish theories. He quickly made up an excuse. What happened to Flora on Lone Island was best kept under wraps.

Luckily, the reporters didn’t push further. Flora was their main interest, and with her absence, their enthusiasm noticeably dipped. Still, they carried on professionally, mainly interviewing Mr. Tanner and Felene.

Felene's performance in the Medical League had been nothing short of spectacular.

"Now that your team from Austenberg has clinched the championship, you'll head to the Medical Institute for further studies after the new year. How does that feel?" one reporter asked.

"Thrilled, of course! Never in my wildest dreams did I think I’d make it to the Medical Institute! And I owe it all to Flora!" one of them exclaimed.

"Same here! No exaggeration, without Flora, winning the championship would’ve been impossible!" another added.

Everyone was buzzing with excitement, the atmosphere electric.

"Mr. Tanner, is that girl Joy? What happened to her?" someone noticed a girl in a wheelchair at the back, looking out of place amidst all the excitement.

"She... had an accident and hurt her hand," Mr. Tanner said reluctantly.
