Chapter 160
“That won’t be necessary. You can hire a masseur, but it wouldn’t do much good. I’d say my legs are beyond repair.” Winnie was still in the middle of her sentence when she realized something. The aching and swelling slowly diminished when Bonnie started massaging her legs.
“Huh, would you look at that? You’re good with your hands, Bonnie. You’re better than a masseur. You’ve barely massaged them for a minute, but I’m feeling much more comfortable already.”
“That’s great. I’ll just keep massaging for now, I can administer acupuncture to you if you’re okay with that.”
“Acupuncture?” Winnie asked.
“Mhm.”
Winnie frowned and fell into deep thought.
‘It seems I underestimated this girl a little. I never thought she’d have some knowledge of the human body. I’m feeling much better after just a minute of her massage. Even so, acupuncture is another
thing.
“Massage doesn’t require the use of a needle and knowledge of vital points in the human body. Acupuncture is a different deal altogether. It’s not that I don’t trust Bonnie. I just fear suffering even more if she makes a mistake.‘
“The massage will do for now, dear. I’ll take a rain check on the acupuncture.” Winnie did not want to upset Bonnie, so she added. “The truth is that Ivor is looking for a so–called miracle doctor for me.”
Bonnie asked hesitantly, “Are you talking about the person who treated the mother of the owner of the SR League?”
Initially, Winnie was surprised that Bonnie knew about it. Then, she thought maybe Ivor had told her about it. “Yeah. That’s the miracle doctor I’m talking about.”
Bonnie stood up and looked at Winne solemnly, saying, “Here’s something you don’t know. I’m the
one who treated that woman.”
Winnie’s eyes widened in surprise.
Bonnie had expected that of Winnie. After all, it was a pretty amazing secret.
“Pfft… Hahaha!” The older woman laughed heartily. “Oh, sweetie. You surprise me at every corner! You always look so severe whenever I see you. I thought you didn’t even seem like a twenty–year–old girl. I can honestly say I know you better now. I didn’t know you could be so humorous.”
“I’m not joking, Grandma,” Bonnie responded.
Winnie held Bonnie’s hands and said, “I know you said that to make me laugh. I know how cold and distant you are. Still, you’re willing to put down your pride and make me laugh. That shows me how

kind–hearted you are. Ivor’s a lucky man! It’s wonderful that you’ll be his wife someday.”
Bonnie remained quiet, wondering what she should say now since Winnie did not believe her. Initially, the former thought she would tell Ivor if Winnie did not belleve her. However, Bonnie was pretty sure Ivor would react the same way, considering his grandmother’s reaction.
Then, Bonnie received another text from William. “I’m still waiting for your reply. Are you going to accept the request? If you don’t reply within a minute, I’ll tell Ivor you turned it down.”
He would prefer it if Bonnie rejected Ivor and even began counting down the time. As he was about to hit the one–minute mark, Bonnie replied, “I’ll accept it.”
William pouted and grumbled, “Ivor is such a pain in the ass!”
Simultaneously, Ivor received a reply from the SR League.
Since Bonnie would need to treat Winnie a week later, she needed time to gather the herbal materials. Besides that, there was the Lenfield Resort race, Bonnie also needed to gather her wits and conserve her energy to win the race.
“Sheffyn Entertainment, the Sheffyns, Xavier, and Vulture…” Bonnie mumbled and drifted into deep thought.
‘Just you guys wait. I won’t allow you despicable wretches to get your way.
In the blink of an eye, it was weekend. She had changed into a racing suit, but Ivor blocked her off at the villa entrance, saying, “You can’t go.”
Ged stood at the side, curious how things would unfold. Glancing at the lovey–dovey couple, he thought, ‘Never in my wildest dream did I imagine Bonnie was Windbreaker!‘
