Bonnie took a step forward and glanced inside before turning to Yanis. "Let me handle finding someone. I know some people who can act quickly."
Yanis didn't respond to Bonnie's words directly. Instead, she looked at her and asked, "I asked you a question. Weren't you supposed to rest at home? Why did you come here?"
"I asked Ivan to bring me along," Bonnie replied, nodding towards the side. "He called me this morning to ask about yesterday's situation, so I had him bring me here."
Following Bonnie's gaze, Yanis looked to the side and spotted Ivan approaching. "Ivan."
Ivan acknowledged her with a nod, his gaze fixed on her. "Are you seriously injured?"
"I'm fine, but Bonnie got hurt worse. I told her to rest at home, but she doesn't listen," Yanis replied.
Ivan stepped forward and reached out to pull Bonnie towards him. "It's alright, I'll take her back."
Bonnie protested, "Ivan, Ivan, calm down. We're here now, don't give in so easily."
Ivan chuckled and released Bonnie, then turned to Yanis and asked, "Has the police made any progress?"
Yanis responded to Ivan's question, saying, "They're still investigating, but it's highly likely connected to Ahmed's family. We'll have to wait for the police to provide their final results."
Ivan nodded. "Then let's wait for the police's conclusion. Both of you are injured, and it's chaotic if you're running around."
"Ivan, you should tell Yanis that. Look at her injuries. She looks terrifying, yet she came to the shop so early, as if she hadn't been hurt at all," Bonnie chimed in.
Ivan turned to Bonnie, raising an eyebrow. "You act as if you're better than her."
Bonnie hesitated for a moment. "No, Ivan, you seem a bit off today. What's going on? Have you learned how to argue with people?"
Ivan cleared his throat. "Have I? I'm not usually like this?"
Bonnie shook her head. "Usually, you're so gentle. Today, you feel different."
Ivan raised his hand and ruffled Bonnie's hair. "I'm still the same. I've always been like this, nothing has changed."
Suddenly, both Yanis and Bonnie looked at Ivan at the same time.
Ivan noticed their gaze and furrowed his brows. "What's with your looks? What's wrong?"
"Ivan, you... I also feel like something's off with you," Yanis said, looking at Ivan.
Ivan's smile faded a bit. "It's just your imagination. I came here to check on you both. I was busy at the company yesterday, and by the time I found out about your accident, it was already midnight. That's why I didn't call or come to see you."
"There's nothing to see. Why are you looking like that?" Bonnie turned around and looked at Linda, who was cleaning up nearby. "Linda, did Wendy not come today?"
Linda responded, "Wendy said Alfie had a fever, so she probably went to the hospital this morning."
Bonnie acknowledged with a sound, "You guys go ahead and chat. I'll go inside to find something to take back later."
After greeting Yanis and Ivan, Bonnie turned around and left.
As soon as Bonnie left, Ivan immediately turned to Yanis. "Bonnie seems off. What's going on between her and Myles?"
"They broke up," Yanis didn't hide anything from Ivan and answered truthfully.
Upon hearing Yanis' words, Ivan furrowed his brow. "Is it serious this time?"
Yanis nodded. "Judging by their attitudes, it seems serious. I spoke to Myles on the phone last night, and he was quite determined."
"Myles cared so much about Bonnie before. Now, if he's so resolute, it must be serious. What could cause them to reach this point?" Ivan wondered.
