"Don't just stand there, helpfigure something out! What if Flora really did go to Lone Island?" Raul was on the verge of losing it, unable to stop himself from giving Henrik a sharp look. How could he be so calm? "Dad, chill out. Even if Flora did go to Lone Island, so what? It's been ages. Who's going to remember her, let alone recognize her right away?" Raul thought about it and realized Henrik had a point.
When they left Lone Island, Flora was just a kid. After all these years, even if those people were standing right in front of her, they probably wouldn't recognize her.
Henrik continued, "Besides, with Flora's skills now, who do you think can mess with her? And don't forget about Connor, her overprotective husband. Nobody's even getting close to her." Raul: || || Uh...
That did seem right.
His Flora was incredibly strong, even more so than that person, and with Connor treating her like she was his entire world, he still couldn't help but worry...
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOnce Flora stepped into Lone Island, things could easily spiral out of control.
After mulling it over, Raul finally let out a long sigh. Whatever happens, happens. If Flora was really in danger, he'd risk his life to protect her.
Suddenly, the study door swung open with a bang.
Raul and Henrik whipped their heads towards the door, only to see Flora leaning casually against the doorframe.
Their minds went blank! "Flora, when did you get back?" Henrik kept his cool, making it seem like nothing was amiss.
"Just now," Flora blinked. "What were you guys talking about? I was calling you from downstairs, but you didn't respond." "Uh... nothing much, just sbusiness stuff." Raul touched his nose, feeling guilty. Flora probably hadn't heard what they were talking about...
He racked his brain, trying to remember if they'd said anything revealing.
He was super anxious but couldn't help stealing another glance at Flora. She seemed normal, so she probably didn't hear anything.
Monday, 9 a.m., Flora walked into the lab right on time.
"Flora, you're here!" Darcy waved excitedly. "Cover, cover! Shawn brought us a ton of snacks." Shawn's hand had mostly healed. Miguel and Alyssa had wanted him to rest at home, but he insisted on coming back to the lab.
With no other option, Miguel and Alyssa let him return, even packing shomemade snacks for him to bring along as a thank you to everyone who had helped him.
Flora walked over to the table, which was covered in various pastries. She picked up a piece and took a bite.

"Flora, thank you." Shawn's gratitude was heartfelt, knowing it was Flora who had found the miracle cure that saved hi hand Without her, his hand would have been useless.
"Don't be so reckless next time." Flora gave him a brief look. "If you don't have the strength, don't take risks for others." Shawn's expression shifted slightly.
The previously cheerful atmosphere turned a bit awkward because of Flora's comment. Everyone felt Flora's words were a bit harsh.
Shawn had risked himself to protect her, and her words seemed a bit cold.
"Oh, Flora, try this one, it's really good too, Darcy quickly intervened trying to lighten the mood, ande everyone hurriedly changed the subject. х
