Once they were seated, Shelly brought out tea and placed it in front of Yvonne and Nigel. While they were served in nicer cups, Shelly and David used chipped porcelain cups for themselves. Nigel silently observed the scene, watching as the couple continued their act.

David began reminiscing about the past, but seeing Yvonne's confused expression only made Nigel more certain that these two were fakes. They clearly were not the ones selling a kidney, but their true motives remained unclear. "Miss Yvonne, I understand if you don't remember, but that's okay. As long as we keep it in our hearts. Go ahead and drink, cold tea is no good," David urged, his eyes misty, performing his role flawlessly.

Unaware of the deception, Yvonne raised the cup to drink, but Nigel stopped her, whispering not to drink the tea.

David smiled slightly, trying to reassure her. "It's just a small sip, it won't hurt you. Besides, would I really harm my own benefactor?"

Yvonne, trusting him, took a sip. Satisfied, David glanced at Nigel.

Nigel smiled sarcastically, picked up his cup, and casually dumped the tea onto the floor. He was done playing along. "They're not here to sell a kidney. They brought us here for another reason. Let's go," he said to Yvonne. "You think you can just leave? It's a little late for that," David's voice shifted, now deep and full of strength, sounding nothing like the frail old man from moments ago.

Nigel's eyes blazed with anger as he instinctively gripped Yvonne's hand to comfort her.
