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

Chapter 1189

The young guy walked up to Connor, crouched down slowly, and fixed his gaze on Connor's hand holding Eula's. He watched for a couple of heartbeats, then out of nowhere, whipped out a knife and lunged for Connor's eyes!

Flora, caught off guard, sprang into action, aiming a swift palm strike at the young man! Connor, reacting on pure instinct, dodged to the side. In that brief moment, the young man took advantage, grabbing Connor's wrist and flinging it away with all his might. Then, in a flash, he grabbed Eula's hand again, stopping him from severing the connection.

Flora's strike landed squarely on his back. Blood trickled from the young man's lips, but with his face already a crimson mess, it hardly made a difference. Flora pulled back her slightly numb hand, trembling a little, while Connor, with a mix of emotions, understood the young man's intention.

"Big sis, I'm sixteen now, and in a couple of months, I'll hit seventeen. I wanted us to celebrate our birthdays together."

The young man's eye was gone, still bleeding, his face an unrecognizable mask of blood. Yet, his lips curled into a half-smile. He kept his back to Flora, never turning around.

"I know you can't stand me, and I don't blame you. After today, that's one less person you'll have to deal with."

"I brought you to this island, so it's on me to get you out safely. You've got two minutes. Go. Now."

"Thank you."
