“With that said…” Ivor’s smile disappeared as he turned solemn again. “I’m not happy that you got hurt for Hamish.”
Bonnie palmed her forehead and grumbled, “How about I get hurt for you next time? Will that make you feel better?”
“Not at all.” Ivor furrowed his brows and accentuated each word, “I. Forbid you. From getting hurt.
For me.”
Suddenly, Bonnie felt something stir in her heart. It was calm before, but it felt as if it had almost skipped a beat. Even so, she quickly regained her composure.
Ivor smiled again and looked at her with pride. “I’m glad you’re my fiancee. You’re just talented in many ways, which begs another question. What other tricks do you have up your sleeves? I wish I could see all your wonderful talents.”
Bonnie only looked at him casually and said nothing.
Ivor continued. “Anyway, Ged is a huge fan of yours. He might lose it if he ever finds out you’re
Windbreaker.”
At that moment, Floyd approached with Winnie. Ivor said, “Didn’t I tell you to stay where you were and look after Grandma? She has trouble walking. Why’d you bring her here?”
Floyd began to sweat bullets after being questioned by Ivor.
“Don’t take it out on poor Floyd. I asked him to bring me here.” Winnie looked at Bonnie and her grandson with a grin. “I just wanted to talk to my future granddaughter–in–law. Do you have a problem with that, Ivor?”
Bonnie politely greeted the older woman, “Hello, Grandma Winnie.”
“Since you’re Ivor’s fiancee, that makes you part of the family. You can just call me Grandma.
“Well, we’re actually-“Bonnie was about to explain everything when Ivor cut her off.
“Grandma’s right. Hurry up and call her Grandma, honey.”
‘Honey?‘ Bonnie felt a shiver down her spine when he addressed her so intimately. Bonnie glanced at Winnie’s legs and her less–than–ideal health. The former quickly understood why Ivor interrupted
her just now.
“Hi, Grandma.”
“Attagirl!” Winnie lit up.
‘I knew it. Bonnie’s so thoughtful,‘ Ivor thought.
He checked the time and said, “We’re going to be late for our appointment, Grandma. Let’s j

your feet checked out.”
“Okay, let’s go.”
However, Bonnie looked at Winnie’s knees, crouched, and began to rub and squeeze them.
Ivor and his grandmother were bewildered. A moment later, Bonnie looked up and said, “Have the osteoarthritis been bothering you for some twenty–odd years?”
Winnie was surprised. “That’s right! Now that I think about it, it has been over two decades. How’d you know that?”
“I squeezed your knee earlier. That’s how I concluded my diagnosis.” Bonnie responded casually.
“Do you have medical knowledge as well?” Ivor was stunned.
“Just a little,” she said humbly.
“You
gave me a good scare there. I almost thought you were a licensed medical practitioner. That would’ve made you a prodigy. I guess you’re right. What are the odds that you know everything from playing chess and tea brewing to car racing and medicine?”
At least, he had fully believed it for a moment there.
However, Bonnie’s response made him think twice. He thought there was no way she knew much about medical expertise. Aside from what Ivor mentioned, Bonnie was also adept at floral arrangements, fixing cars, and more.
He thought it was a stretch for someone to have so many gifts. Moreover, one would need years of practice and an accumulation of clinical experiences to acquire such medical expertise. Bluntly put, the older a doctor was, the better they were at their job.
‘Bonnie’s only twenty, and her adult life has barely begun. There’s no way she could have practiced and accumulated much clinical experience.”
While Ivor was in his thoughts, Bonnie said, “Let’s give it a shot. I’m pretty confident I can treat Grandma’s osteoarthritis.”
