Kruz hung up the phone and, with a cautious tone, asked Connor and Flora, "Hey, bro, Flora, mom's wondering if you guys want to head back to the Falcone family." Connor didn't answer right away. Instead, he glanced at Flora, seeking her input with just a look.
Flora gave a slight nod, and only then did Connor respond with a soft, "Yeah." Kruz relayed Connor's decision, then hung up and sat up excitedly, grinning at Connor. "Looks like we're heading in the sdirection now, bro!" Over at the Reyes household, just after Flora and Kruz left, Karter had stopped coughing up blood, and his color was looking a whole lot better.

Everyone chimed in, having seen the whole thing unfold. Abbey seemed to have done almost nothing, yet Karter was on the mend. Her skills were way beyond Flora's! Flora was just a wannabe doctor, almost costing Karter his life! Normally, Abbey would have soaked up the compliments, but today, she felt nothing but awkwardness.
Because it wasn't her who healed Karter.
Still, she wasn't about to spill the beans.
After a moment's thought, she turned to Adrian. "Mr. Adrian, thanks to Flora's intervention, Karter's health has taken a hit. It'll take a while for him to fully recover. I know you and Flora are close, but I hope you won't let her treat Karter again. Her skills might not just fail to help-she could do harm." She was totally making this up.
She'd already checked Karter, and he was doing a lot better. Even the issues inside were less serious than before.
She'd been trying to help Karter for years with little success, but Flora...
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWith just one treatment, Karter showed a 20-30% improvement.
Thinking about it made her mood even darker.
Flora's medical skills were far beyond what Abbey had imagined, and if it cdown to a final showdown... "Adrian, we've told you before not to mix with questionable folks, but you wouldn't listen!" The uncles glared at Adrian, "fit wasn't for Ms. Abbey this time, your father could have been harmed by you and that Flora!" "You should thank Ms. Abbey right now!" "And from here on out, that Flora isn't welcin the Reyes family home!" The uncles were fired up, completely against Flora.
And they weren't too happy with Adrian either.
"Ms. Abbey, thank you for helping my dad, and I'm sorry for anything disrespectful I might've said before." Adrian apologized to Abbey, and the uncles' mood lightened a bit, but then Adrian added, "Flora is my friend, and she had good intentions trying to help my dad. Even though things didn't go as planned, we can't put all the blon her."
