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

Chapter 1687

After she wrapped up her conversation, Fiona glanced at her phone and noticed a call from Jackson coming through.

"Hey, big brother," she said, her voice tinged with a hint of melancholy, which Jackson immediately picked up on.

"I tried calling earlier, but your phone was off. Is everything alright?" he asked. Fiona stayed silent for a moment, prompting Jackson to continue, "Where are you at right now?"

"I'm at the Bryant estate," Fiona admitted, realizing it wasn't wise to keep secrets from him. "The matriarch of the Bryant family is seriously ill, and Jasmine asked me to come over. I'm alright, though."

"Okay, stay safe, and call me if anything comes up."

After ending the call, the car pulled up to the hospital entrance. Fiona, cloaked in black with a baseball cap and mask, was completely incognito, leaving no clue about her age or gender.
