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

Chapter 47

“Yeah, you are always discussing. Did everything ever change though?”

Ray cast them a chilly glance, the sound of Aisha’s agonized moans piercing his heart like a knife. When he spoke to Paul again, hist tone softened. “Uncle Paul, please just let Séraphine take a look. I’m not messing around. We can’t just watch Aisha suffer like this.”

Hearing this, the members of the Brimer family seemed touched, and Paul hesitated. However, seeing Flora’s youthful arrogance, he steeled his heart.

“As long as I’m here today, you are not to lay a finger on Aisha. Ray, if you keep this up, I’ll have to inform the folks over at Maple Grove.”

Paul’s stance was firm. It wasn’t that he judged a book by its cover, but Flom’s attire was far from what one would expect of a professional doctor.

“Ray, if you really care about Aisha, then stop this madness. Look at the company you keep: Paul’s son, Wade, chimed in. His gaze towards Ray was filled with enmity, as if looking at an enemy.

He spoke too forcefully, and his ponytail swayed slightly with his words.

“Exactly. You say she can heal? I might as well claim I can heal. If she cures Aisha, I’ll let you kick my head around like a football.” A young girl joined in the conversation. She was Paul’s daughter and Wade’s sister. Her features were pleasant, but the scorn in her brows made her unlikable.

Flora understood clearly now. Ray was not welcome in the Brimer household. She was here to heal, not to get involved in family disputes. She only knew that Aisha’s condition was dire.

“If we don’t treat her now, the patient will die.” Flora said earnestly.

The girl was struggling to breathe.

At her words, Ray paled and pushed past Wade and Yvonne, who were blocking his way. “Séraphine, please proceed with the treatment.” He cleared a path, and Flora took the opportunity to approach Aisha’s bedside.

Her condition was severe. Flora frowned deeply, quickly taking out a specially prepared sachet of herbs, placing it near Aisha’s nostrils. “Dad! Look at Ray! She’s going too far!” Yvonne cried out, almost falling to the ground just moments before, her arm now throbbing in pain.

“Ray! You’re out of control!” Paul was furious, ordering the servants, “Throw out Ray and this girl he’s brought with him!”

The servants were actually intimidated by Ray. He had a fearsome temper, and though they didn’t dare provoke him, they had to follow Paul’s orders.
