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

Shawn's condition had finally stabilized, but out of nowhere, things took a turn for the worse, leaving Dr. Ray and the hospital's top doctors at their wits' end.

If this kept up, Shawn wouldn't make it.

In a panic, Dr. Ray called Flora.

Maybe Flora could save him.

At the hospital.

Shawn's parents were already there, standing silently outside the operating room. Alyssa was a wreck, crying uncontrollably, while Miguel held her close, his eyes red-rimmed with tears.

"Uncle, Auntie, don't worry. Dr. Ray is treating Shawn now. He's going to be okay," Darcy whispered to Alyssa, trying to soothe her. Darcy and Shawn had been childhood sweethearts, and she was almost like a daughter to Miguel and Alyssa.

"Don't cry, honey. What if Shawn wakes up and finds you sick?" Miguel said softly, trying to comfort his wife. He was a university professor, gentle and refined, with the same inherent kindness as Shawn. "Honey..." Alyssa choked out between sobs.

"Dr. Ray!"

The operating room doors finally swung open, and Darcy was the first to rush forward. "How's Shawn?"
