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

"Hey everyone, check out Flora!"

A sudden gasp rose from the crowd, pulling everyone's attention towards her, especially to the scalpel she was holding. Her hand was remarkably steady, even more so than those using both hands.

"Is she even human? How can she be so steady with just one hand?"

The crowd was once again in awe.

"This girl is something else!"

From afar, Mr. Tanner and the judges were thoroughly impressed. Truth be told, even he couldn't match the steadiness Flora displayed. What they didn't realize was that Flora had trained in neurosurgery, where having a steady hand is crucial. If she could perform brain surgery without a tremor, this was a piece of cake.

Flora moved swiftly, her precision unmatched, her demeanor calm and composed, making her stand out like a masterpiece among the other contestants. It was impossible for the audience to take their eyes off her.

As the competition went on, all the other contestants had already been knocked out, leaving Flora as the last one standing. They couldn't help but watch her with admiration.

However, it became apparent that Flora was beginning to struggle. For example, during stitching, one hand simply wouldn't cut it; she needed both.

But Flora's left hand was badly injured, so much so that she couldn't even hold a scalpel with it.

"Flora! You should just give up!"

"Yeah, you've done amazingly well already, just call it quits!"

People couldn't help but encourage Flora to bow out. It wouldn't matter if she stopped now; she'd have plenty of other chances. They didn't want to see her pushing herself too hard and end up doing more harm than good. Their voices were loud, urging Flora on, all with the best intentions.

Flora furrowed her brows slightly; she hated distractions during surgery. It was so irritating. But knowing they meant well, she took a deep breath, glanced at the tweezers on the table, bit her lip, and reached out with her left hand to pick them up. "Flora!"

Mr. Tanner shot up from his seat!

That was her injured hand! She shouldn't be putting any strain on it! She could easily walk away from this! No need to tough it out!

Felene was anxious too, her face filled with concern.

Catching their worried looks, Flora gave a reassuring smile, signaling she knew what she was doing. She then refocused, concentrating on finishing the surgery.

Despite her injured left hand, everyone could see she was struggling to exert force, but amazingly, her hand was still steady, not even a hint of a shake.

What incredible self-control she must have!

Joy was practically glaring, almost hoping Flora would overdo it and end up ruining her hands!

A sharp pain shot through the bones in her left hand, causing Flora to hesitate,with the scalpel in her grip. Yet not a flicker of pain crossed her face, her movements only growing more rapid.

"Flora is incredible!"

Kruz's jaw dropped, wide enough to fit an egg. Though not a doctor himself, he had seen enough surgeries to know what skill looked like. He had never witnessed anything like Flora's performance.

"Of course, what did you expect from Flora! How could she not be incredible!" Adrian said with pride. After all, Elora was his cousin! But his dad had told him not to brag about it, which was frustrating. He couldn't even show off in front of Kruz!

"Can you guys keep it down? It's so annoying!"

Ethan shot them a glare. Couldn't they see Flora was powering through the pain?

Connor remained in the same position, almost rigid. While the girl dazzled everyone on stage, his attention was fixed solely on her hands.
