Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1886

"Alright, thanks. We’ll make sure she’s taken care of."

Tyler nodded his thanks and stepped out of the operating room. He noticed the elevator was about to reach his floor, but for some reason a wave of unease hit him.

He didn’t hesitate—he ducked into the stairwell next door. The door was barely open, easy to miss if you weren’t looking for it.

A chime echoed from the elevator. Tyler peeked out just as the doors opened, and sure enough, Pearl’s mother stepped out. What was she doing here?

His gut twisted. Pearl’s accident might not be as simple as everyone thought.

None of them had ever hurt Pearl. Even her fall had only happened after someone stabbed her from behind with a sharp knife.

A few minutes later, Deanna came out of the operating room. Her face was pale, her whole body tense—she looked completely shaken. Tyler couldn’t figure out why she was panicking. Was something wrong with Pearl’s surgery?

But the doctor had just said the operation went fine, hadn’t he?

Tyler’s mind was spinning with questions. He watched as Deanna disappeared into the elevator, only heading downstairs himself once she was gone. Through the glass in the stairwell, he could see everything happening on the floor below.

When he reached the lobby, he quickly spotted Deanna near the entrance. She was looking around frantically, and a group of men—bodyguards, by the looks of them—quickly gathered by her side.

Tyler pulled out his phone and called Nash. “Don’t let Pearl out of your sight,” he said quietly. “Deanna’s already got her guys searching the whole hospital.”
