Although she was a bit scared of Connor, Flora could still call Henrik for backup. Kruz, on the other hand, wasn't so fortunate.
The officer furrowed his brows when he heard Flora, turning around and looking at her seriously. He assumed she was scared and was about to confess to something she didn't do. "Young lady, I know you're innocent! This has nothing to do with you. Just keep quiet and don't be afraid of them. As long as I'm here, they won't lay a finger on you." Flora was speechless.

Oh no, why did Brother have to show up? Connor didn't look at Kruz but walked straight to Flora. Just as be was about to speak, Flora hugged him tightly. "Connor, you're finally here was so scared just now; they were all bullying me!" At these words, everyone's expressions beccomplicated.
Buzz: Sister, do you even have a conscience? Were we really bullying you? You were the one who beat us up so badly we could barely stand! Kruz: Wow, Flora is so cool, sweet yet tough... and she knows how to play it soft! Brother's icy demeanor melted away instantly! Officer: This must be her boyfriend. No wonder she feels so confident now. He knew all along she was innocent. Connor wrapped his arms around Flora, knowing she was putting on a show and that these people couldn't hurt her, but he still felt a pang of worry. He took off his coat and draped it over her.
