I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 770

“That won’t be necessary.” Ivor took over the glass of water and drank half of it. He added, “This is the most crucial stage of the inspection. I can’t just leave now.

“Furthermore, the hospital is so far away. If I waste my time traveling back and forth, how long will it take to return to Pyralis and finally see Bonnie again?”

Floyd couldn’t help but sigh at that.

“So, you’re refusing to go to the hospital because you want to go back and reunite with Ms. Bonnie as soon as you can. However, your condition is so serious now, Mr. Ivor. Do you think you’ll be healthy to do anything if you keep postponing treatment?”

Ivor had been sick on his second day in Everpeak. His body couldn’t acclimate to the harsh environment on the plateau, and he started having a high fever in the middle of the night.

Now that he had finally recovered from the fever, he started coughing. Being sick also massively reduced his appetite. He practically couldn’t eat anything.

Coupled with his demanding work, he had grown much skinnier and paler.

“I’ll be fine.” Ivor shook his head. At the next moment, he started coughing fiercely again.

“Cough cough cough…”

Realizing that his boss was coughing badly, Floyd patted him on the back, trying to make him feel better.

He didn’t speak until after Ivor had stopped coughing. His expression was explicable when he said, “I didn’t want to say this, but I think I have to. You’ll break Ms. Bonnie’s heart if she sees you in this state.”

At the mention of Bonnie, Ivor raised his head and looked at Floyd. He said hastily, “Remember, Floyd. If she calls and asks you about my situation, just tell her that everything’s going swell. Don’t say a word about my sickness. Got it?”

“Why would you want that, Mr. Ivor?” Floyd looked puzzled. “You’ve always thought Ms. Bonnie never gave you enough care and attention normally. If I tell her about your condition now, surely she will be very concerned with your well-being. Isn’t that what you wanted?”

He looked at Floyd sideways. Right now, the latter was no different from a moron to him.
