Conor showcased his acting skills. He made it quite convincing. He even bit his tongue hard enough that his face turned pale and he began to sweat excessively.

Nicole was taken aback for a moment and concernedly asked, "How are you feeling? Should I call a doctor for you?"

Conor waved her off and said, "No need. I'll just head to the bathroom. This..."

He lifted the package of the congee, and before Nicole could object, he shoved it into her hand.

“Miss Lawrence, please deliver this to Mr. Schultz. The doctor mentioned he shouldn't eat anything cold at the moment or it might lead to another infection." With those words, Conor quickly ran away.
