In the video, Ivan clearly appeared to have lost a significant amount of weight, especially with his prominent jawbone.
"Is he torturing himself in M Country? How did he become so thin?" Bonnie couldn't help but remark.
Darin whispered, "There were various conflicts during the first two days of his arrival. I only found out on the third day, otherwise, I wouldn't have known he came here."
Speaking of this, Darin paused and continued softly, "I don't know what happened over there. I asked him, but he didn't give me the details."
"This is a long story. You should ask him when he wakes up," Yanis suggested.
Darin nodded, "Okay, I'll wait for him to wake up before I let him know you guys are looking for him."
"Alright, let him rest for now."
After ending the video call, Bonnie set the tablet aside and sighed involuntarily, "Ivan has had it tough. I never expected Aunt Baxter to treat him like that."
Yanis listened to Bonnie's words but remained silent because she didn't know how to judge this situation.
Madison's concern was solely about the Baxter family's reputation, which led her to be so guarded and excessively controlling of Ivan's life.
At this point, it was clear that Madison had overthought things.
Both she and Ivan, as well as Mila, confirmed their friendship and assured her, but she didn't believe anyone.
As long as Ivan had any contact with Mila, she would suspect there was something unclear between them.
"Now, with this situation, I guess Ivan and Mila's relationship is pretty much over," Bonnie remarked.
Yanis nodded, "Mila is actually a nice person, but..."
"But Ivan doesn't like her. If it weren't for Aunt Baxter's interference, maybe Ivan and Mila would have developed deeper feelings. But now, there's no hope at all."
"It's all fate."
After Auntie finished preparing dinner, she had to rush home due to some unexpected matters.
Yanis and Bonnie had dinner together, and after a simple cleanup, Yanis accompanied Bonnie for a walk around the neighborhood.
"Linda asked me to say hello to you today," Bonnie mentioned.
"That girl has been well-behaved lately, not causing any trouble. It seems like she's growing up," Bonnie genuinely liked Linda.
Although she could be a bit mischievous at times, Linda was responsible, serious, and hardworking.
"Linda is a good girl."
Bonnie nodded, "If only I had a younger brother, I'd want her to be my sister-in-law."
Yanis chuckled, "Maybe in the next life."
When the topic of a younger brother came up, Bonnie suddenly thought of Antonio, "Yanis, is Antonio still inside?"
Yanis affirmed, "They came to see me a couple of days ago, asking me to bring Antonio out, but I refused."
"Did they cause any trouble?"
Yanis shook her head, "No. They suggested having a meal at home on my birthday, but before I could refuse, Zane rejected the idea."
"They have the audacity to invite you back home for a meal? Is that even considered family?" Bonnie truly detested Olivia and Martin's behavior.
They were clearly children of the Thompson family, but their treatment towards Yanis and Antonio was worlds apart.
Moreover, Antonio had benefited a lot from Yanis, especially from Zane's side.
"That day, I suddenly felt like they had aged."
Upon hearing Yanis' words, Bonnie turned her head and looked at her, "Do you feel sorry for them?"
Yanis shook her head, "Not really, it's just a passing thought."
Bonnie reached out and hooked her arm with Yanis', "No one decides that we must forgive someone. If we're unhappy, we can get angry and live our lives well. Sometimes even family members can stand against you, so don't expect anything."
Yanis murmured softly, "Let's go back; it looks like it's going to rain."
Bonnie looked up and glanced, "Seems like it might rain. Who knows if it will rain tomorrow."
