Love Unbreakable

Fatigued, Jarrod remarked, “You may leave now.

”

Conor noticed the untouched meal near Jarrod’s bedside and inquired, “Mr.

Schultz, is the cuisine unsatisfactory? What would you prefer? I can fetch it for you.

”

Jarrod glanced at the food but lacked appetite.

He inquired, “What did Nicole purchase last evening?”

Conor remarked, “I believe it was congee.

” While not entirely certain, he recognized the packaging from a reputable congee establishment.

“Fetch some for me,” Jarrod commanded.

Conor was momentarily rendered speechless.

His perception of Jarrod as love-stricken solidified.

Sympathy for Jarrod flooded his thoughts.

Desiring the same congee, Nicole refused to procure it for Jarrod.

Conor answered, “Very well.

I shall depart immediately.

”

Exiting the room, Conor pledged to ensure Jarrod received a steaming hot bowl of congee.

He resolved to make the purchase himself.

Upon his return with the congee, Conor encountered Nicole, who had come to visit Rhett once more.

Conor greeted her, “Miss Lawrence, what a fortuitous encounter.

Are you revisiting your friend?”

Nicole affirmed with a nod.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“Indeed.

”

Conor contemplated inviting Nicole to see Jarrod, yet yesterday’s attempt to appeal to her emotions had failed, prompting the need for a fresh strategy.

“Ouch, my stomach!” Conor exclaimed suddenly, doubling over and groaning in seeming discomfort.

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.

Holding the congee, Nicole pondered for a while and then decided to bring it to Jarrod’s VIP floor.

Nicole intended to hand the congee to a bodyguard instead of getting into Jarrod’s ward, but she was surprised to find the entrance to Jarrod’s ward unguarded.

Unknown to her, Conor had sent the bodyguards away to create this very opportunity for Jarrod.

Finding herself with no other option, Nicole knocked on the door, ready to hand over the congee.

A deep voice from inside commanded, “Come in.
