Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life
Chapter 864

"Doctor, how's Connor doing? Why hasn't he woken up yet?" Henrik was beside himself with worry, and Kruz was pacing around like a cat on a hot tin roof.

"I'm stumped. Connor's in a really odd coma. I've tried detox treatments, but they're not doing the trick." The doctor looked both troubled and baffled. In all his years, he'd never seen anything like it. "What? My brother's not going to stay in a coma forever, right?"

"Mr. Kruz, don't worry too much. I've checked him over thoroughly. Connor's health isn't in danger-he's just temporarily out cold," the doctor reassured. "If everything goes as planned, he should come around by tomorrow morning." "Tomorrow morning?" Henrik's anxiety was written all over his face. "Isn't there anything we can do to wake him up sooner?"

Where on earth could Flora be? And with Connor knocked out, what's going to happen with her?

"There's nothing more we can do," the doctor sighed. "We'll just have to wait and see what tomorrow brings."

Henrik's hands clenched tightly at his sides. Connor's condition was probably linked to Flora. He was sure Connor would pull through; the real issue was tracking down where Flora had gone.

"Moss, Beck," he said in a calm, steady voice.

"Yes, Mr. Henrik," Moss and Beck replied quickly.

"I need you to trace the route of the car Flora took, figure out where it went and where it ended up," Henrik instructed. He paused, then added, "And send someone over to the Reyes family, see if Flora's there."

His gut was telling him Flora might be there.

"Right away, sir!"

Moss and Beck hurried to follow Henrik's orders, but just as they were stepping out, Connor's eyes flew open!

He coughed up a mouthful of blood!

The blood trickled down his lips, staining the collar of his white shirt, making him look ghostly pale. His deep-set eyes and brows looked even more intense, his chest heaving heavily, and the veins in his face stood out starkly. Great!

Just great!

They'd used some kind of sedative on him!

"Boss!" Moss and Beck, seeing him awake, rushed back to his side.

"Bro, are you okay? You finally came to. I was worried sick you wouldn't wake up. And Flora, we have no clue where she went!"

"Connor, do you know where Flora went?" Henrik asked, urgency in his voice.

Connor didn't say a word. He got up from the bed, moving a bit too fast and feeling dizzy, his steps heavy. He walked over to the wardrobe and pulled open the bottom drawer.

It was empty.

His eyes narrowed, and without missing a beat, Connor headed for the door.

"Let's head to the Reyes family!"

Hearing "the Reyes family," Henrik knew exactly what was up-Flora had indeed gone there. She'd figured it out after all.

If they'd known she'd make such a ruckus, they might as well have told her upfront!

Henrik quickly called Raul, asking him to rush over to the Reyes family, while Kruz called Amanda and

Ethan, who were out shopping, to fill them in.

At the Reyes family estate.

"Flora, it's not like you think," Adrian stood his ground, blocking Karter, meeting Flora's eyes with a hint of fear in his voice. "Flora, I don't know why you believe my dad hurt your parents, but he'd never do

something like that! There's no

reason for it!"

"In the world of powerful families, it's not unusual for brothers to turn on each other for power and wealth," Flora scoffed.

Karter had already admitted it; defending him was pointless.

"Move aside."

This had dragged on long enough; it was time to bring it to an end.
