The competition had reached a point where there was no need to continue. The University of Maple Grove had clinched a decisive victory, leaving the once proud medical organization disheveled and deflated, like they'd lost their spark.
After the competition, Darcy grabbed Flora's arm. "Let's go out to celebrate!" Flora shook her head with a soft smile. "I can't join you guys tonight. My family's waiting for me." "Alright, we'll plan a victory party for you another time." Darcy didn't push further, knowing family comes first.
Flora nodded, said goodbye to Dr. Ray, and headed to the stands, linking arms with Raul on her left and Henrik on her right. Connor followed behind, carrying their bags.
Dr. Ray, Mr. Richard, and Jules stood together, watching Flora walk away, their hearts swelling with pride.

With Flora, Austenberg's medical standards would lead the world.
Flora and her family went to a local Chinese restaurant for dinner. After their meal, Connor drove them back to the Irving family home.
Flora actually wanted to go to Shallow Bay, but Raul and Henrik's pleading looks held her back. She had been spending almost all her free twith Connor lately, and she knew she had been neglecting her family.
Besides, tonight, Raul had lost control, perhaps out of joy, and drunk quite a bit. Flora was worried.
"Connor, you should head home. I'll see you tomorrow," Flora said, as she and Henrik helped Raul into the house. "I'll make shangover soup for Dad. You should have stoo," Flora told Henrik, who had also had a few drinks.
"When have you ever stepped into the kitchen?" Henrik teased, ruffling Flora's hair. "You had a long day at the competition. Go shower and rest. I'll take care of Dad." "I can make hangover soup!" Flora protested.
"Withhere, you don't have to do anything," Henrik insisted.
"Alright, I'll go shower. Callif you need anything," Flora said, feeling a warm sense of having a caring family as she headed upstairs.
Raul slumped onto the sofa, breathing heavily from the alcohol. He watched Flora disappear up the stairs, a small smile playing on his lips.

The next day, Flora arrived at the lab right on time, as usual. Her seniors were already there. They couldn't help but sneak glances at her. After yesterday's competition, they weren't sure how to act around her. Having such a powerhouse among them made them anxious.
"Flora, the experimental paper that needs editing is on your desk. Have a look when you can," Shawn said, placing a paper on her desk, bis tone unchanged. én.sFlora, sipping milk through a straw, nodded and got to work. Her casual demeanor still exuded an air of quiet confidence.
Their previously tense hearts inexplicably relaxed. No matter how formidable Flora was, she was still their Flora! What were they anxious for?
Flora never cared about titles or prestige; otherwise, she wouldn't have worked with them for so long! "Flora, the medical organization
folks have left! They fled overnight and should be back by now," Darcy said, draping an arm over Flora's shoulder and placing a sandwich on her desk, thoughtfully unwrapping it for her.
Flora picked up the sandwich and started eating. "Oh," she responded nonchalantly. "If I were them, I'd be too embarrassed to stick around either.
