Chapter 159
“What’s the diagnosis?”
“Osteoarthritis in the knees. It’s been bugging the patient for more than two decades.”
‘Osteoarthritis? What are the chances? Ivor’s grandma has osteoarthritis in the knees, too,‘ Bonnie thought as she received another text from Willam.
“Guess who posted the request?”
Bonnie sat upright and pondered for a moment before replying, “Was it Ivor?”
William was stunned. “How’d you know that? Can you predict the future?”
She composed her reply and sent it. “You have one guess.”
‘So, it was Ivor. That means the specialist couldn’t cure Winnie’s legs.‘
Immediately after, Willam called, “Why don’t you turn down the request since you’re injured? Just put a pin in it and call it a day.”
Bonnie asked curiously, “How much is the reward for his request?”
“A billion dollars. Come on, Bonnie. You can’t neglect your health for money. If that’s what you need, I can give you a billion dollars, too. Hell, I’ll even give you hundreds of billions. Scratch that. I’ll be more than happy to give you SR League if you’ll marry me!”
Bonnie clicked her tongue and said, “Ivor put up a billion dollars? Wow, that’s a waste.”
“Hey, were you listening to me? I just proposed to you. Consider SR League your wedding gift. I really
“I have something to attend to. I’ll talk to you later.”
“H–Hello?”
‘How heartless. Just the way I like it.‘
Bonnie pondered as she looked out the window, ‘What should I do? Should I confess to Ivor that I’m the one who cured William’s mother? I can’t do that. That’s not the right way to do it. I’ve never told anyone I practice medicine.
‘I didn’t want patients lining up at my doorstep, asking me to treat them every day. I’m not boasting, but people would literally crash through my gate if they knew how good I am in treating illnesses.‘
The following day, Bonnie visited Winnie’s ward. “Hey, Grandma, is Ivor here?”
Winifred grinned and said, “Do you miss him? I’ll call and tell him to come here right away.
Bonnie cleared her throat awkwardly. She could feel herself blushing. “Th–that’s not what I meant,

Grandma. I was just asking because I don’t see him around.”
However, Winnie did not believe her and proceeded to dial Ivor’s number. Bonnie added hastily, Maybe we shouldn’t distract him from work. I heard from Floyd that he has an important meeting in the company today.”
Now that she put it that way, even Winnie thought it was better not to call. Instead, she told Bonnie, There are plenty of fruits in the basket. Would you like anything? Here, I’ll get some for you.”
Winnie got off the bed, eager to take the fruits for her. Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her legs. It was so excruciating that she grimaced. “Ouch… My knees.”
“Let me help you to your bed, Grandma.” Bonnie held the older woman’s arms and helped her over.
Winnie’s complexion was utterly pale at that moment. “Damn, these old legs. I wish I could chop them off. It’s blindingly painful whenever they act up.”
Bonnie held Winnie’s legs and said, “Here, let me massage them for you.”
