Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 157

Chapter 157 

Could it be that she had given herself away while saving Aisha tonight? 

As she fretted inwardly, Connor turned his face away, continuing to stare at the computer screen. 

When night had fully fallen, Moss and the others finally returned. In their hands, they carried on old man in pajamas. 

The old man was grumbling. “Oh, my old bones, can’t you be a bit gentler! Are you bandits or what.” 

“Mr. Jules, our apologies 

Moss said, apologizing, but his face showed no sign of regret. Only when they reached Connor did they set Jules down. 

“You are too violent. My old bones are about to fall apart.” Jules said while rubbing his waist, his gaze sweeping over Ray and Connor 

It’s actually him? 

Jules frowned slightly. Could it be that the person needing treatment was this man’s lover? 

No way! 

Jules gaze then moved past Connor to Flora, and he almost jumped. “FI-” 

Flora sent him a warning look 

Jules‘ words stuck in his throat, taking a turn, “Good heavens! So, it’s you guys who are seeking old me for treatment.” 

After speaking, he cautiously glanced at Floras expression. Seeing her nod in satisfaction, he finally relaxed. 

“Mr. Jules, we apologize for any disrespect. We had no choice, Connor stepped forward, his tone sincere and polite, “The patient is in critical condition and needs your help. As long as the patient is safe, you can name your price, and I will fulfill it.” 

Jules, however, was gauging Flora’s mood, figuring that since they had come to him, she must want him to treat the patient. 

But he couldn’t just agree to treat them so easily! 

“Hmph, I can’t see how this is asking for help. Jules was still in pain from his neck, “Since you’ve found me, you should know, I don’t lend a hand easily.” 

“The patients life hangs in the balance, and as a doctor, how can you stand by and do nothing.” Ray was so anxious he felt like he was going to explode, “Just name your requests, and I will fulfill them.” 

“How about this.” Jules had had enough, he huffed and said, ‘Fifty million. If you can afford it, I’ll save the person. 

He just happened to be short of funds for his new medical research 

The University of Maple Grove had recently stopped funding him, insisting he recruit students, which he found troublesome. “Done, done, done! Even a hundred million is no problem.” Ray agreed without hesitation. 

Jules felt a lump in his throat, feeling he had asked for too little. 

Ray impatiently dragged Jules to see Aisha. After carefully examining Aisha’s condition, Jules concluded, “This is tricky.” 

Ray was annoyed, thinking, “if it weren’t tricky, we wouldn’t have sought you out.” 

“Everyone, please leave.” Jules waved them away, adding, “Leave one doctor and three nurses to assist me.” 

To assist the top neurosurgeon was something many dreamed of. Several doctors were eager, hoping to be chosen. 

Ray selected an older–looking, more reliable doctor from the crowd to follow Jules into the operating room. The nurses selected also had rich surgical and clinical experience. 

Connor patted Ray on the shoulder, comforting, “Don’t worry. Jules is here, and Aisha will be alright.” Ray nodded heavily, standing at the entrance of the operating room, a vigil that lasted several hours.
