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

Chapter 1190

Flora and Connor had just stepped out of the lab when a loud explosion rocked the air around them. They spun around, their eyes widening as flames danced wildly behind them, like fireworks lighting up the midday sky. Flora's lips quivered slightly in shock. "Flora, sweetheart!" Crimson shouted, rushing over to her and wrapping her in a protective hug, tears streaming down his face. "How did you get hurt? Does it hurt? Jules, hurry and check on Flora!"

Crimson quickly shrugged off his jacket and draped it over Flora's shoulders. Jules hurried over as well, practically elbowing Connor aside in his haste to examine her.

"It's all good, just some minor cuts and bruises," Jules said, patting his chest with relief. "Flora, come inside with me. Let's get those wounds taken care of."

"Yes, yes, let's tend to those wounds right away!" another voice chimed in.

"Flora, we've got some food ready for you too. You must be famished. Have a bite once you're patched up!" someone else added.

"Oh, our poor darling has been through so much!" cried Amanda, Ethan, Karter, Raul, Henrik, and a host of others who had gathered around, showering Flora with care and concern, while Connor stood to the side, practically invisible to the crowd. Where once there was a throng at the lab's entrance, now everyone had followed Flora inside, leaving Connor standing alone.

Moss and Beck shared a knowing look, feeling a pang of sympathy for their boss.

"Uh, boss," Jason said, eyeing Connor with a hint of pity. "I'll call someone from the Medical Division to patch you up."

Now that Flora's around, it looks like you're sharing my spot at the bottom of the pecking order." Connor shot him a look, brushing his hand away. His eyes scanned Kruz, Moss, Beck, and Jason with a hint of menace. "The border needs some hands. Interested? Or maybe you'd prefer
