Flora’s Guide to a Second Chance at Love and Life novel Chapter 1690

She slipped her arm around Jasmine's waist, pulling her close to shield her. The guy in front of them lunged forward, but Fiona kicked him back, sending him and a few others flying like bowling pins.

“Is this how you treat the Bryant family's kids?” Fiona asked, her eyes full of concern as she looked at Jasmine. Even the family's matriarch had sat up by now.

"Jasmine."

With the matriarch's voice cutting through the tension, the folks from the Bryant family started exchanging uneasy glances, their expressions turning sour. Nobody expected the matriarch to wake up just then, let alone that this young girl, who was the same age as Jasmine, would have such remarkable medical skills. It was almost too much to believe.

"Matriarch."

They all suddenly looked as meek as lambs, not daring to say a word. Especially the third aunt, who had been making a fuss earlier; she was now as quiet as a mouse.

"Matriarch, I'm taking Jasmine away for now. There's nothing more I can do here."

Fiona was ready to leave with Jasmine in her arms, but she caught the greedy looks in their eyes. Who knew what they might do to the matriarch while she was still vulnerable?

"Fiona, come here," the matriarch called out softly, her face warm and kind, just like it always had been. Her smile was like a gentle breeze, bringing a bit of warmth to Fiona's heart. "Fiona, we owe it to you this time. I've called the Bryant family guard; they're on their way. I've also made it clear that Jasmine will be the Bryant family’s future leader. I’ll need you to support her. She's still young and has a lot to learn, but I believe in her. I've seen what she's achieved in the Capital, and it's impressive."
