Chapter 954
Flora had this nagging feeling-whether it was real or just her imagination, she couldn't say-but ever since she'd stepped foot in this place, it felt like someone was watching her. She furrowed her brow, her eyes scanning every corner to figure out what was going on. Then, out of nowhere, a face wearing a red skull mask popped up in front of her. Kruz, with the mask still on, chuckled, "Hey Flora, what do you think? Do you like it? I picked it up for you!"
Flora just stared at him, speechless.
"Come on, sis! This one's perfect for you, it totally matches your vibe. Let's get it wrapped up!"
"Miss, this bracelet is really pretty too. We should grab it for you."
In the black market, you could find all sorts of quirky stuff, but Kruz and his crew weren't there to shop for themselves. They got a kick out of buying things for Flora.
It was a rare occasion for them to go shopping with a girl, and they were genuinely excited about it.
They didn't really know what Flora liked, so they just bought anything they thought looked nice.
Their sisters back home loved these little trinkets. No matter how tough Flora was, she was still a girl at heart, and they figured she'd like them too.
Pretty soon, they'd piled up dozens of items for Flora.
Flora rubbed her temples, "Seriously, enough with the gifts."
Everything they bought was utterly pointless-typical guy stuff.
Just clutter, really.
"Don't sweat it, sis. We've got it covered." Adrian said with a grin, patting his chest. "I've arranged for everything to be sent straight to the house. The servants will take care of it." Flora shot him a look but decided to let it go..
No point in raining on their parade.
Suddenly, a piercing scream cut through the air.
A huge dog came barreling down the street, making a beeline for a pregnant woman on the sidewalk!
The woman, heavily pregnant, had no chance of dodging, and terror filled her eyes as the Tibetan Mastiff charged at her!
People around screamed but didn't dare step in.
The dog was about to lunge at the woman's belly when-bang!-a shot rang out.
A bullet zipped past the dog's left ear, and the Tibetan Mastiff crumpled to the ground!
The pregnant woman, frightened out of her wits, collapsed too.
But a steady hand caught her.
She looked up into a pair of clear, calm eyes.
Flora pulled a pill from her bag and handed it to the woman. "Here, take this. It's good for the baby."NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
The woman, clearly shocked, was showing signs of a possible miscarriage.
"Thank you..." she whispered, her hand trembling as she took the medicine.
"Lucky!"
Out of nowhere, a sharp voice broke through!
A woman in a red coat rushed over, and when she saw the dog lying in blood, she screamed, "Ah! Lucky!"
"Did you shoot him?!" She glared at Flora, her eyes landing on the gun in her hand.
"Don't you know you should always leash your dog?"
Especially big dogs like that.
If Flora hadn't been there, the pregnant woman might have been in serious trouble, or worse.
It was a shame about the dog, but the real culprits were its careless owners.

"Your dog attacked a pregnant woman! You owe her an apology!" Adrian chimed in, fuming.
