Suddenly, Winnie exclaimed, “Hey, that young lady looks familiar!”
Although Ivor was slightly absent–minded, what his grandmother said next caught his full attention. Winnie added, “Why does she look so much like your fiance?”
Ivor shot his gaze toward the young lady, and sure enough, it was Bonnie. However, he wondered why she would be in a patient’s gown.
Meanwhile, Bonnie could sense someone’s intense stare. When she turned to look and saw who it was, she quickly whipped her head back and fled.
“Ms. Bonita–Ahem, I mean Bonnie. What’s wrong? I thought you said you wanted to go for a stroll. Are you feeling dizzy or something? Is it your head injury?” Marcella chased after Bonnie, worried.
At that moment, Ivor looked at Floyd standing beside him and ordered, “Look after my grandma, will you?”
“Of course, Mr. Ivor.”
Ivor chased after Bonnie and managed to stop her with ease. The latter’s lips twitched as she said helplessly, “Fancy bumping into you here.”
Ivor was tense as he glanced at the bandage around her head. “You’re hurt! What happened?!”
“Well, I-”
“Don’t even think about telling me you bumped your head while you were out with your friends last night!”
Bonnie smiled awkwardly in response while Ivor stared into her eyes. He then pursed his lips, looking skeptical. Meanwhile, Marcella looked back and forth between the two as the gossiper in her was

“How close are you with Hamish? Why would you rather help an outsider instead? Or am I the outsider as far as you’re concerned?!” Ivor became increasingly aggressive as he spoke. Anyone could tell he was jealous.
‘Oh my gosh! I can’t believe Ms. Bonita is engaged! If this gets out, it’ll shake all of Pyralis.‘

Bonnie pried Ivor’s hands off her shoulders and said, “Firstly, I appreciate your genuine concern for me. I’ve been meaning to tell you that our engagement has ended. I’ll move out of your place as soon as I find a place to stay.
“Also, Hamish and I aren’t dating or anything. He’s in the prime of his life and still single. If a false rumor spreads that we’re dating, how’s he supposed to find himself a girlfriend?”
Although it was a brief explanation, it was more than enough to appease Ivor. His cold expression softened as he asked, “So, you two aren’t together?”
Bonnie rolled her eyes while Ivor grinned. Now that he was in a pleasant mood, not even her eye- rolling could bother him. Instead, he thought it was adorable. “I love it when you explain yourself to
me.”
‘Jeez! I don’t ever want to roll my eyes again.‘
