Connor nodded, feeling a bit under the weather. His head was heavy and foggy.
"Chere for a sec," Flora said, tilting her chin up slightly. Connor slowly stood up and leaned forward. A kiss landed on his cheek. Startled, he looked up to see Flora blinking at him with a smile. "Connor," she said with a teasing grin, "Feeling any better now?" Connor's throat tightened...

"You always say I'll catch a cold because I dress lightly, now look who's caught a cold?" She wrapped a blanket around Connor and took the laptop from his hands. "You need to rest properly when you're sick." Connor watched her bustling about, his lips pressed tightly together, not saying a word. His dark eyes shimmered with an unidentifiable light.
"Why are you looking atlike that?" Flora asked, pulling out a thermometer. "Open up." Connor complied, his gaze never leaving her. "I regret," he said.
"Regret what?" Flora didn't immediately catch his meaning.
"That I didn't get sick sooner." It was always him taking care of her, and now, seeing her fussing over him, showing him genuine concern, was a first. His girl, too, could be so caring. It felt wonderful.
Hearing this, Flora's hand paused, and for sreason, her heart felt a sudden ache. "Don't talk nonsense," she breathed out, shaking the thermometer. "It's just a mild fever, nothing serious. Just rest at htoday, no going out." "Will you stay with me?" Connor asked, his eyes locked on hers.
"Sure." Flora agreed right away, but her phone rang just as she finished her sentence. It was Dr. Ray calling. "Flora, where are you? You need to cover, I have something to tell you!" Dr. Ray's voice sounded a bit anxious over the phone.

You-" "I have something more important right now, I really can't come." "What could possibly be more important?" "Being with my fiancé." Dr. Ray: "..." Flora: "Goodbye." Connor watched her hang up the phone decisively, his cool and dark eyes gradually warming with amusement. Connor only had a mild fever and was completely better after resting for a day. Flora went to the lab. Dr Ray had been relentlessly calling her since yesterday. If she didn't show up, Dr. Ray would probably cto her house directly.
When Darcy saw her, he quickly said, "Flora, you're finally here. Mr. Tanner from the National Medical Department cover! He was here yesterday looking for you! He's in the office now, you should go in!" Hearing this, Flora raised an eyebrow. Mr. Tanner was here? She took a step towards the office, and just as she did, Mr. Tanner hurried out of the office. Seeing him, Darcy and the others quickly shouted with respect, "Mr. Tanner, Wheir faces were filled with admiration and respect!
Mr. Tanner didn't look at them but went straight to Flora. "Hehehe, Flora, you're here." Herubbed his hands together, appearing somewhat hesitant and ingratiating. He and the senior figures were all
very grateful to Flora. Just the video
