Chapter 314
tvor saw the young lady looking at him with puppy–dog eyes, knowing what was on her mind. He said, “Doctor, meet Jordynn Day. She’s Sebastian’s younger sister.”
“Oh, hello.” Bonnie extended her hand.
Jordynn blushed and shook the doctor’s hand, stammering, “G–Greetings, Doctor Fanelli.”
Ivor and Sebastian exchanged glances, both knowing Jordynn’s intentions. They thought it would be beneficial if the doctor and Jordynn got together.
Sebastian looked at Bonnie and said, “My grandpa’s in this room, Dr. Fanelli. He’s not feeling too well and can’t come downstairs to welcome you. I’ll have to trouble you to go, upstairs to check on him.”
“That’s okay. I’ll just head upstairs.” Bonnie climbed the stairs and entered the room.
Jordynn ran to the side of the bed and took her brother’s arms. She would occasionally steal glances at Bonnie and blush. The former said, “Grandpa, this is Dr. Fanelli. He’s the
miracle doctor we told you about.”
Gibson was older and more experienced than everyone in the room. It did not take him long to notice his granddaughter’s fondness for the doctor.
He glanced at the doctor and thought he was good–looking and sophisticated. Indeed, the older man thought the doctor was more handsome than an actor. No wonder the usually picky Jordynn had a crush on “Bonnie.”
“You look young and accomplished, Dr. Fanelli.”
“You’re too kind, Mr. Gibson,” Bonnie responded lightly. She then went to the side of the
bed to check his pulse.
The older man’s fondness for Bonnie grew. After all, she took compliments without letting her ego inflate. Moreover, she looked unfazed by his praise.
‘That’s the mark of an incredible man in the making. It’d be wonderful if Dr. Fanelli ends up
marrying my granddaughter.”
“Your condition isn’t too severe, Mr. Gibson. You’ve just been overworking and neglecting your health for too long. Mr. Ivor said your symptoms have worsened. Did you take anything to reinvigorate yourself, such as ginseng or ganoderma?” Bonnie guessed.
Jordyng gave her a thumbs–up and said, “You’re good at this! You took less than a minute to figure that out!”
Bonnie noticed something unnerving about the way Jordynn looked at her. Nonetheless the former said, “As I said, you’ve neglected your health for too long, Mr. Gibson. Your body can’t take something too strong, even if the supplement was meant to reinvigorate you.” Jordynn’s eyes sparkled whenever she looked at Bonnie. The former was oblivious that she was edging closer to the doctor, asking, “What do we do? Is there a way to cure Grandpa?” “There’s a cure, but your grandpa will have-” Before she could finish, Jordynn grabbed Bonnie’s hands and said gleefully, “Really?! That’s all that matters, Dr. Fanelli. I’ll do anything you say!”
Bonnie looked at Jordynn’s hands and then at her reddened face.
‘Uh, countless men have confessed their love to me. I’m numb to it now, but this is the first time a girl has fallen in love with me.”
Bonnie withdrew her hands and said, “I don’t have any special terms. You just have to pay for the treatment, as usual.”
Jordynn was disappointed when she heard that.
“Don’t worry, Dr. Fanelli. We’ll pay you for the treatment.” Sebastian pulled his sister aside. and whispered, “Pull yourself together, Jordynn. You’re scaring the doctor.”
Jordynn retorted, “Dr. Fanelli’s not as timid as you think. Also, we’re all adults here. What’s there to be worried about?”
Sebastian palmed his forehead, not knowing how to respond.
Then, Gibson looked at Bonnie and asked, “Do you have a girlfriend, Dr. Fanelli?”
