Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1898

“She’s out cold,” Tyler said.

He eased Anna onto the couch. Fiona was already pulling out her medical kit—she hadn’t had to use her skills in ages, not since she’d come here. Anna looked like she was on the edge of a total breakdown, her body trembling, eyes wild and lost. Whatever had happened, it had shaken her so badly that she was barely holding it together.

Fiona’s hands moved fast and sure, slipping slender needles into key pressure points on Anna’s body, trying to pull her back from the edge.

“Tyler, can you bring me a bowl of warm water? When Anna wakes up, she’s probably going to freak out.”

Tyler nodded and left without a word. He didn’t bother asking what the water was for—Fiona rarely explained herself, especially when she was this focused.

A few needles in, and Anna’s whole body started to relax. The tightness in her brow eased, her breathing slowed, and she looked almost peaceful, like she’d finally drifted off to sleep.

Sweat dotted Fiona’s forehead as she reached for the last needle. Carefully, she slid it into the crown of Anna’s head, then wiped her hands and grinned. “Done!”

Tyler walked back in, carrying the bowl of water. He set it on the coffee table and looked over to find Fiona lounging with her feet up, munching on potato chips like this was just another lazy afternoon.

“Seeing you so chill makes me almost not want to ruin your mood by telling you who’s behind this.”

Fiona laughed, popping a chip into her mouth. “Let me guess—Carson?”

Tyler stared at her, caught off guard. He hadn’t told her anything about the Kidd family on the phone. All he’d said was that there’d been trouble at International Glam.
