"I know you're sick, Ivor. Why do you insist on lying to me? Are you sure you want to keep it up?" Bonnie said sternly.
At that moment, Ivor recalled the earlier video call.

"You have to believe me, Bonnie. I'd never lie to you over something like that." Then, Ivor felt the urge to cough again. Although he tried to fight it back, he could not do it this time. "Cough, cough!" She stared at him through the screen and hung up without a word.
"Bonnie? Bonnie!" Ivor panicked and tried calling her again, but she outright rejected it. He knew she did not want to talk to him, but he thought he had done nothing to make her mad at him. With that in mind, something occurred to him, and he could not help but frown.
Floyd, who had gotten the cough medicine, returned and saw how serious his boss looked. The former asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Ivor? Why do you look like that?" Ivor turned to look at him while recounting his conversation with Bonnie. The former also remembered his fiancee hanging up on him wordlessly.
"Floyd, helpout. Consider Bonnie's response and tellif she saw through me." "Ms. Bonnie would never throw a fit like that for no reason, Mr. Ivor. That's unlike her-" Floyd analyzed the situation before looking at his boss. The former felt troubled, saying, "She knows, Mr. Ivor." A hint of uncharacteristic panic flashed in Ivor's eyes. Then he looked at his phone, thinking about how she had hung up on him, which only made him more panicked. "What should I do now? Should I call Bonnie back and explain myself?" Floyd's lips twitched as he thought, 'Con. He's been in a relationship longer thanbut still doesn't know what to do. What makes him think I'd know? I'm single for crying out loud. Still, Mr. Ivor looks troubled and concerned. I must do my best to give him a solution. After all, it's my job to solve his problems.' "You must explain the situation and apologize to Ms. Bonnie now. Then, you'll have to soothe her immediately. However, Mr. Ivor, you're so far apart now and can't see or touch each other. She might be so mad at you that she'd leave before you finished work here and return to Pyralis." Ivor sighed heavily. "All I did was spare her from worrying about me. I didn't think It'd blow up in my face." He lowered his head and texted her,
"I'm sorry for lying to you, Bonnie. I'm sick, but I didn't mean to deceive you.
I didn't want you to worry aboutand distract you from you from your research. I know I was wrong Can you forgive me, please? Content

home? Would you please reply to me? Cmean it. I shouldn't have on, Bonnie I kept it from you. Will you please forgive me? I'm sorry." He sent her more than ten texts in one go but had yet to receive a single reply.
Floyd witnessed everything and felt how helpless his boss was. "It looks like Ms. Bonnie's pissed this time. What'll you do now, Mr. Ivor?"
"What else can I do? We're in the middle of the inspection. I can't just leave now," Ivor rubbed his eyebrows and said, "The only thing I can do is keep calling and texting Bonnie until she forgives me." 'If I'd known this would happen, I would've told her everything. Gosh, what kind of mess did I get myself into?' X
