Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life
Chapter 1057

Flora kept her cool, "Let's have a real conversation, alright?"

"Why won't you design clothes for me anymore?" Rafael's voice was dripping with pitiful longing, "Have you stopped loving me?"

Flora arched a brow, "When did I ever say I loved you? Quit the whining and just talk."

"Did I mess up somehow?" Rafael's voice dropped, sounding genuinely upset.

"No, you didn't."

"Then why?" Rafael sniffled, "You always designed my clothes, what changed? Why hand it over to Kaylee?"

He must've screwed up somewhere!

Howell had teased him non-stop over the phone!

Oh man, he's lost his spot in her heart!

He poured out his complaints, and once he was done, Flora finally said, quite nonchalantly, "Kaylee designing your outfits isn't a demotion for you."

As for the reason? Well, it's hard not to when you have a fiancé who gets insanely jealous.

"Let's drop this, I'm hanging up now."

Up ahead was Jules' research lab, and Flora ended the call smoothly as she stepped out of the car.

The lab was perched on a mountain, inaccessible by car, so it required a ten-minute hike.

From the outside, it looked like an old, abandoned warehouse, but inside it was a whole different story.

Flora used her fingerprint to gain entry, and Jules, deep in his experiment, rushed to greet her when he heard her arrive.

"My lifesaver, you're finally here!" Jules exclaimed, donned in a sterile suit and mask, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

A few others inside also greeted her warmly and with respect, calling her Ms. Flora.

They all knew Flora well; without her generous funding each year, the lab would've gone under long ago.

After changing into a sterile suit, Flora followed Jules into the core lab.

No one else had clearance to enter, so they waited outside.

Most of the lab crew were orphans, raised by Jules himself. They were good-natured and completely trustworthy.

"This is it," Jules said in the core lab, handing Flora a freshly developed drug, "I've tried it myself, and it's better than the previous versions."

"After taking this, all my aches in my back and legs vanished, and I felt rejuvenated, like I've turned back the clock."

Jules' earlier miracle drug versions were powerful, but too strong for the average person, more suitable for young, fit folks.

But now it could benefit even the

elderly, potentially extending life and improving health, and even

suppressing or curing condelet

cancer.

Jules couldn't contain his excitement, "The best part is, after taking this, there's a surge of internal energy, like the ancient martial arts." This finding was massive.

It was like discovering a whole new world.

If harnessed correctly, this internal energy could make feats like walking on water and scaling walls possible, not just dreams.

There might actually be martial artists out there.

"Have you sent any of these to Empire Base yet?" Flora thought for a moment before asking.

"Not yet," Jules shook his head. The success rate of the advanced drug wasn't stable enough, "They only have the earlier versions." "Got it."

Flora considered, "Pack up and get

ready to move. I'll talk to Crimson

and arrange for you to transtub
