Reese furrowed her brow, feeling a slight itch on her neck. She reached to scratch

it.

Unexpectedly, scratching only intensified the itchiness.

After a while, her face turned red. She rubbed her neck, feeling extremely uncomfortable.

Closing her eyes in discomfort, she sensed her body was acting up, and this feeling was all too familiar-like an allergy.

Despite her physical discomfort, Reese's mind remained clear.

She recalled the incident of her seafood allergy becoming public knowledge when she won an award in the competition, and the Design Department held a gathering at the Butterfly Pavilion.

She also remembered the century egg and lean pork congee Chloe brought her that morning.

She found its taste odd but didn't think much of it. Given her seafood allergy, which usually prevented her from eating seafood, she wasn't familiar with its taste.

Now, thinking back, that bowl of congee must have been a problem. She consumed seafood congee and had an allergic reaction.

Reese's anger flared, but it was competition time, and she couldn't confront Chloe.

Suppressing her discomfort, she forced herself to continue sketching her design. When Lukas's gaze returned to Reese's face, his expression immediately changed.

He stood up abruptly and walked straight to Reese. "What's wrong with you?" Curiosity from the competition audience turned their attention toward them. Reese, enduring the discomfort to sketch, hadn't anticipated Lukas's sudden approach.

Gritting her teeth, she shook her head. "I'm fine."

Lukas saw numerous red spots on her face and even red marks from scratching.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but touch her face and scratch her neck.

Lukas's brow furrowed deeply. "Tell the truth, or else I'll ask you to leave right now."
