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

"Mr. Otto, you need to get to the hospital right away for a full check-up. I remember the Brimer family owns one. Can I take you there?"

A fever that won't break is no joke. If it keeps up, Hudson might end up seriously delirious.

Hudson's anger, which he had just managed to bottle up, flared right back up at her words.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Would he really avoid the hospital if he could go?

Did she really need to point that out?

Already short-tempered, the high fever was making him feel even worse, and he had no patience left. He snapped, "Aren't you supposed to be a top student from the University of Maple Grove? Is this the best you can do? Can you figure out what's wrong with me or not?"

Alexa's face went pale. Hudson had always been polite to her since she had saved him once before. This was the first time he had spoken to her so harshly.

"Mr. Otto, let me try something first."

Hudson's expression softened slightly, "Alright."

For the next hour, Alexa tried everything she knew to bring down Hudson's fever, but nothing worked. Instead, she ended up making him feel worse.

Hudson was furious and shoved her away, "Get out!"

At that moment, an assistant rushed in, "Sir, Ms. Selene is back!"

Hudson's face lit up with joy, "Call Selene right away. Tell her to come here, and make sure Grandfather doesn't find out."

If Grandfather found out, Hudson would be in big trouble.

Recalling Moss's words, Hudson gritted his teeth in anger. He might be at their mercy now, but he would get his revenge!

The thought of Selene's return filled Hudson with uncontrollable joy. His beloved Selene was a top-notch medical student; surely she could cure him. Alexa saw that Hudson was completely ignoring her. She stayed quiet and didn't leave.

Selene...

Was it the genius girl from the medical organization she had heard about?

She had only heard about Selene in stories, and now that she had the chance to meet her, she naturally didn't want to leave.

Selene and her team had just landed and hadn't even had the chance to drop off their luggage at the Brimer family home when they were rushed to Hudson.

Selene had always had a low opinion

of her frivolous uncle, but he was family after all. Seeing how urgently he had sent for her, she felt obliged to

on him.

"Uncle, what happened to you?"

Selene walked into the room and was taken aback to see Hudson lying in bed.

"Selene, you're finally here. Please, take a look at me. Why won't my fever go down?"

Selene checked his pulse, "Uncle, you've been poisoned, which is preventing your wound from healing and causing the inflammation and persistent fever." She frowned, "Uncle, who did this to you?"

She was really curious. Hudson was notorious for throwing his weight around Maple Grove under the Brimer family's protection. Who had managed to put him in such a state, and he was so secretive about it that he didn't dare let Grandfather know, choosing instead to hide and seek treatment alone.

"Selene, can you cure me?"

Hudson didn't answer Selene's question but asked anxiously instead.

"I'll try."

"My dear Selene, thank you."

Hudson let out a sigh of relief. He had secretly consulted many doctors, but none could clarify why he was in this condition. Selene had identified the cause just by taking his pulse; she surely could cure him.

Selene spread out her acupuncture kit, taking out thin silver needles and placing them on Hudson's acupuncture points.
