I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard )
Chapter 769

Bonnie sighed helplessly, "I want to do that, but we're hitting the most important milestone in the research institute. I can't afford to leave right now."

"I know you're busy. It was just a joke. Don't let it bother you." He said. Then, he held her shoulders and pecked her slightly swelled-up lips.

"I'm leaving now. Keep me in your mind, Bonnie."

"Alright. Just go already." She might've sounded impatient, but her eyes had a sense of longing.

'He has constantly bugged me and loves fooling around with me. Sometimes, I wish I could be left alone to enjoy peace.

'However, the thought of not seeing him for so long makes me feel a little sad. I'm reluctant to see him leave.'

"Remember, Bonnie. Keep me in your mind." He leaned in close again before kissing her cheeks intensely. Then, he walked out the door and met up with Floyd.

She watched as he left in a hurry.

'I'll miss you.'

In the blink of an eye, Ivor has left for Everpeak for three days. In the meantime, she has made a significant breakthrough in the augmentation research for the latest nanomaterial.

'I think we'll finish developing the important technology soon.'

Toby read the research information. His eyes were filled with shock. "You did it, Ms. Bonita. We've been working at it for many days but are not even close to making a breakthrough. You came in and showed us how it's done in two days. Impressive. You're badass, Ms. Bonita!"

She smiled humbly. Reaching out, she patted Toby's shoulder and encouraged him, "Just keep working at it, Toby. I believe that, someday, you'll be able to do everything I can. Who knows? You might even supersede me."

"You've got a high opinion of me, Ms. Bonita." He scratched the back of his head, feeling embarrassed. "I would've been happy if I could do one-tenth of what you can do. Regardless, I'll give it everything I've got and contribute to the world of scientific research in Arvandor."

She nodded in approval. "Great. I like that you're ambitious. Keep at it, Toby."

It was six in the evening when she took a quick dinner outside before returning to Lenfield Resort. She took a bath and read some documents on her phone.

Then, she pulled up Twitter. To her surprise, Ivor merely sent her a few texts today. Under normal circumstances, he would've sent her more texts and a video call.

'This is a little unusual for him. Could it be that he was too busy, though?

'Forget it. Instead of making wild guesses, why don't I just give Ivor a video call and find out what's going on? After all, he has always been the one who calls or texts me. I should take the lead this time.' At the thought of it, she made a video call to him.

On the other side, Ivor was lying on the bed. His face had turned pale from his recent sickness, and he was coughing nonstop.

"Cough cough cough..."

Floyd noticed it and handed him a glass of warm water. "You've been coughing for days now, Mr. Ivor. The medicines aren't working either. Your cough is worsening by the day. Maybe you should get yourself checked at a clinic."
