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

Chapter 319 

“Techniques passed down through generations have their merits. How can you be so sure it won’t work?” Flora said, her voice steady. 

Flora had learned this particular method from Jules. It was the same technique Jules had used to save Louie, who had gone into shock multiple times. Everyone had thought Louie was a goner, but Jules brought him back. 

Yara snorted. “We’ll see. Just don’t come crying to me when he actually dies and you can’t handle the aftermath, Ms. Flora.” 

Flora shot her a sideways glance. “Weren’t you the one who declared Adler dead before I even got here?” 

Yara, fuming, turned her head away, unable to respond. 

Hours dragged on, and Adler showed no signs of improvement. They replaced the charcoal over and over, and the medicinal herbs were applied repeatedly. 

Zack, Pax, and Jason were losing hope, thinking it might be kinder to let Adler go peacefully instead of prolonging his suffering. But Connor was resolute, insisting they follow Flora’s lead. 

Another half hour passed, and still, there was no change. Yara’s sarcasm grew more pronounced. “Looks like Ms. Flora’s method isn’t working after all.” 

Flora, her eyes half–closed, ignored her. 

In the room, Moss and Beck were shirtless, fanning the charcoal fire vigorously. Sweat poured off them like they’d just been pulled from a pond. 

Everyone was drenched in sweat, parched, and exhausted. 

“Adler’s finger moved!” Beck suddenly shouted. He had seen Adler’s finger twitch slightly. 

Everyone turned to look at Adler, tense and hopeful. His right hand’s finger twitched ever so slightly, but it was definitely a movement! 

“He’s moving! Adler’s eyelids twitched!” Excited cries filled the room, hitting Yara like a boulder to the chest. 

Impossible! Adler was supposed to be dead! 

12:31 

Disbelieving, Yara rushed to the bed, finding Adler still lying there. She quickly looked away as Zack hurriedly covered Adler with a blanket. 

At that moment, Flora walked in calmly. Seeing their friend waking up, Jason and Pax were ecstatic, their admiration for Flora boundless. 

“Ms. Flora! You’re amazing!” they exclaimed excitedly. 

Yara, after a careful check, confirmed Adler’s vital signs were indeed recovering, though his heartbeat and pulse were still weak. Her premature announcement of Adler’s death was a direct slap in the face. 

“Ms. Flora, thank you,” Zack said sincerely, his previous disdain and dissatisfaction gone. Flora had saved Adler, earning Zack’s deep respect. 

Flora spoke lightly, “He’s awake, but he’s not out of the woods yet. To fully recover, he needs another surgery. We didn’t get everything out of his head, which caused the shock and nearly killed him.” 

“Leave the surgery to me. I’ll make sure Adler recovers fully!” Yara quickly said, not wanting Flora to take the spotlight again. 

Flora glanced at her, lifting a strand of hair with her delicate wrist. “You? Your lack of skill nearly killed him, and now he needs a second surgery. Are you planning to harm him again?” 

Yara was left speechless, with no one in the room coming to her defense. Connor, of course, trusted Flora unconditionally. Jason and Pax were already on Flora’s side. Zack, though previously protective of Yara, was now fully focused on Adler’s condition. 

“Yes, I admit I made a mistake. I’ll be more cautious from now on,” Yara said, taking a deep breath and turning to Connor. “Boss, besides me, no one here is qualified to perform the surgery. Please, trust me one more time. I’ll make sure Adler recovers!” 

She had to save Adler. Otherwise, she would lose her standing for good. 

“Who said no one else was qualified?” Flora blinked, smiling nonchalantly. 

“Do you know a skilled doctor, Ms. Flora?” Zack asked eagerly. 

“I do, but by the time he arrives, it might be too late.” 

Yara scoffed, at least she was aware of her limitations.

Zack’s heart skipped a beat, suddenly entertaining a bold idea. He looked at Flora, his words tumbling out. “You don’t mean yourself, do you?” 

Flora nodded seriously. The room fell silent for a moment. 

They had doubted Flora, thinking her success with Adler was just blind luck. But Flora was genuinely skilled in medicine… 

Had it been earlier, Zack would have been skeptical, but now, he couldn’t muster a single word of doubt. It seemed Pax and Jason were right; Flora was incredibly skilled, far beyond their imagination. 

Pax and Jason struggled to hide their amazement. Martial arts, hacking, medicine… Was there anything Ms. Flora couldn’t do? 

Yara was internally shaken, unable to believe Flora was not only skilled in medicine but might even surpass her. Panicked, she pleaded, “Boss, I’ve already operated on Adler once. I’m fully aware of his condition. Please let me lead the surgery! Ms. Flora saved Adler, but she used traditional methods. Brain surgery is no joke! One mistake could be fatal! It’s too risky to let her try. Please, let me do it!” 

She was so desperate she was almost incoherent. “I’ve been with the organization for years. My medical skills may not be the best, but they’re well–recognized. Please, let me lead the operation.” 

She couldn’t bear the thought of Flora performing the surgery. If Flora’s superior medical skills were revealed, she would never be able to compete… Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
