"I sent him to handle other tasks."
As Ivor entered, he quietly closed the hospital room door and locked it. Unaware of his small gesture, Bonnie looked worried.
"Do you not have a clear understanding of your condition? Why didn't you let him assist you in coming here?" Ivor asked.
"My injury is on the shoulder, not the legs. I can walk by myself," Bonnie replied.
As he spoke, Ivor approached Bonnie and then reached out to embrace her slender waist.
"Honey, are you hiding something from me?" Ivor asked.
Bonnie raised an eyebrow lightly. "Are you talking about the Shepard family coming to see me?"
Gresham and Vera had only just left when Ivor arrived. She didn't elaborate further, assuming he had noticed.
"No," Ivor denied outright.
This left Bonnie momentarily stunned. "Not that? Then what is it?"
"Hmph..." Ivor emitted a faint snort from his nostrils. "At this point, you're still hiding things from me."
He playfully bit Bonnie's ear. "You're not being honest!"
His grip was firm, causing Bonnie to gasp in pain.
"Ah..." She raised a hand to cover her ear, turned away, and glared at Ivor.
