Chapter 158


    Moss and Beck strode over respectfully and said, “We’ve found out who was behind the attack on


    Miss Flora and Miss Alsha. It was orchestrated by a woman named Maddie.”


    Connor furrowed his brows, seemingly unfamiliar with the name Maddie. Moss added, “This Maddie


    appears to be Aaron’s aunt.”


    Aaron was sentenced to life imprisonment and Maddie was nearly bankrupted by Flora. It was


    natural for her to harbor resentment, even revenge.


    But shecked the means.


    Flora said, “Maddie is just a country woman who came to Cedarvale. She struggles even with basic


    living: how could she possibly hire someone tomit violence?”


    “Find out who’s really behind this.”


    “Understood.”


    Moss and Beck hurried off.


    Ray still stood in front of the operating room.


    Finally, the doors opened, and Jules and a team of doctors slowly emerged.

    “The patient is fine now. With proper care, she can be moved to a regr room.”


    Jules removed his mask, his exhaustion evident after over three hours of surgery.


    A huge weight lifted from Ray’s heart.


    “I need some sleep,” Jules said, rubbing his temples. “Leave a few nurses to keep a close watch. If


    anything seems off,e find me Immediately.”


    “Absolutely!” The doctors beside him nodded fervently, still excited from watching Jules perform the


    surgery.


    Jules was indeed the top neurosurgeon, his skills smooth and wless! The doctors were in awe,


    realizing they had much to learn from the details of his technique.


    The doctors escorted Jules to his resting room.


    “You take Flora back, Ray told Connor. Til stay here.”


    “Alright, call me if you need anything.”


    Connor didn’t object. He asked Moss to leave a couple of trustworthy people behind and left with


    Flora.


    Flora was exhausted, nearly falling asleep on Connor’s shoulder.


    When they arrived outside the hospital, Beck had just pulled the car out. Connor and Flora got into


    the passenger side.


    In the car, Connor watched Flora sleep peacefully on hisp, his eyes narrowing slightly.


    Upon reaching the Irving family estate, Flora was still asleep. Connor didn’t wake her.


    After a short while, Flora slowly woke up. She met a pair of dark, captivating gazes.


    Rubbing her eyes, Flora said, “Ill go in then. You should head back too, be careful on the road.”


    After saying this, she opened the car door to get out, but her hand was caught.


    “Wait.”


    Connor pulled a first–aid kit from under the seat taking out medicine and bandages.


    Realizing his intention, Flora obediently ced her hand in his.


    The bandage, slightly blood–stained, was unwrapped to reveal the wounded flesh, a shocking sight


    mixed with yellowish medicinal


    stains.


    Concerned about causing her pain, Connor’s movements were extremely gentle. After he finished


    bandaging, he tied a beautiful bow, 1 was even prettier than a nurse’s handiwork.


    “Keep it dry for the next few days to avoid infecting the wound. leave the medicine with you.


    Remember to change it on time!
