Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 526

Upon hearing this, Dr. Ray's already grim face darkened even more, his eyes behind the glasses filled with disgust and anger as he barked at Flora, "What's going on?"

Though his tone was inquisitive, Dr. Ray was already convinced that Flora was guilty of unprovoked harm. When you hold a grudge against someone, everything they do seems wrong.

Flora lazily began to explain, "She ended up like this because..."

"Dr. Ray, you must stand up for me!" Alexa's shrill voice cut Flora off. "I was in the restroom just now when Flora suddenly rushed in. She slammed my head against the sink and tried to wreck my hand on purpose!"

Alexa rolled up her sleeve to reveal her trembling hand, badly bruised and a shocking sight for everyone. For a medical student, hands are their most valuable tool, and Flora had recklessly endangered another’s.

Dr. Ray was livid. "Flora, you really have some nerve. Lacking any real skill yourself and instead focusing on harming others! You'll stay in the lab today to reflect and write a ten-thousand-word self-critique! If you don't finish, you're not leaving!"

Flora's expression turned icy. She had wanted to explain, but now she couldn't be bothered. Dr. Ray was so biased against her that anything she said would be useless. She had her pride, too.

Everyone in the lab held their breath, afraid to draw his ire. They didn’t like Flora anyway, so they wouldn’t speak up for her. With Alexa's visible injuries as damning evidence, it seemed clear Flora was at fault.

Only Shawn stepped up to defend Flora. Though he hadn't known her for long, he knew she wasn't someone who would intentionally hurt others. "Dr. Ray, there must be some misunderstanding here. Flora isn't—"

At six in the evening, Dr. Ray returned to the lab with his team. His anger had subsided, but his disdain for Flora lingered. Fortunately, Alexa's injury wasn't severe, or he would have expelled Flora from the lab on the spot!

He expected Flora to still be in the lab, waiting to admit her mistake and accept her punishment, but upon arrival, the lab was silent. Flora was long gone, and the self-critique he demanded was nowhere to be found.

Dr. Ray's simmering anger flared up once again. "Professor, let me call Flora," Shawn offered tentatively. "She might have stepped out for something urgent..."

"Fine, you call her, and while you're at it, tell Flora we no longer have room for her in this lab! I don't want to see her here ever again!"
