Chapter 174
After Connor finished the soup, Flora sealed the thermos again.
Connor had other matters to attend to, so he asked Moss to drive Flora to the hospital.
Just as Flora reached the entrance of the ward, she heard Yvonne’s voice from inside, “Aisha, why didn’t you tell us about something as serious as your brain surgery? If it weren’t for Selene mentioning it, we would have had no clue. How are you feeling now? Are you in a lot of discomfort?”
“I’m fine now,” Aisha responded calmly, her gaze sweeping past the doorway to spot Flora. And she quickly waved Flora over, “Flora!” Flora stepped inside nonchalantly. It was then she noticed another person standing next to Yvonne.
The girl was dressed in loose sportswear, her ponytail tied high, and when silent, her demeanor somewhat resembled Flora’s. Only, Flora seemed somewhat colder.
Ignoring them, Flora spoke to Aisha, “My dad made some chicken soup for you, and he asked me to bring it over.”
“No one cares about your chicken soup. Who knows if you poisoned it!” Yvonne retorted. Flora had caused such misfortune to the Brimer family. Why was she here!
Flora placed the insulated box on the coffee table, opened the lid, and offered Aisha, “Want to try some?”
Aisha nodded.
Realizing that she was completely ignored, Yvonne was fuming, “Aisha!”
“Yvonne, whatever grudge the Brimer family has with Flora, she’s my friend here,” Aisha interjected.
“Aisha, you consider her a friend, but she sees you as a fool. The attackers targeted her, and it’s because of her you ended up needing brain surgery.”
Yvonne and Flora were like archenemies, their animosity palpable.
Yvonne blamed her for being ousted from the fashion design circle, and Henrik for her brother being punished by their father.
No good came from the Irving family!
Watching Flora completely disregard her, serving the chicken soup to Aisha, Yvonne’s eyes flashed with malice.
As Flora approached, Yvonne suddenly stretched out her foot, attempting to trip her. However, Flora’s expression didn’t change. She simply stepped on Yvonne’s foot and moved past.
“Ah!” Yvonne screamed in pain, almost falling backward, but Selene, standing beside her, caught her.
Aisha was exasperated. She had told Yvonne not to make a scene, but she wouldn’t listen and had to learn the hard way.
“Yvonne, stop it.” Selene sternly reprimanded her.
Yvonne was no match for Flora. Besides, Yvonne’s impetuous behavior was embarrassing her.
Upon Selene’s command, Yvonne finally restrained herself.
Selene was the prized jewel of the Brimer family, while Yvonne was just from a distant branch in Cedarvale. Therefore, Yvonne didn’t dare to provoke Selene.
“Selene, let me introduce you, this is Flora.”
Despite her fear of Selene, Yvonne couldn’t help but boast about her cousin, who was way more better than Flora.
“Flora, this is my cousin, Selene. A prodigy in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She began studying medicine at eight, under renowned masters. Her medical skills are so exceptional that even the dean of the University of Maple Grove praises her endlessly. And, she’s also a member of Club 257.”
Yvonne’s tone was bragging, almost as if her head was in the clouds.
Flora listened indifferently, only sparing Selene a glance upon hearing the last statement.
A member of Club 257? She hadn’t heard of Selene being a member.
When she noticed Flora looked her way, Yvonne became even more smug, “I’m telling you, my cousin is a true prodigy. You’re nothing compared to her.”
Selene frowned, feeling that Yvonne comparing her to Flora was demeaning.
