Now that he had calmed down and analyzed it carefully, he realized that Ivor wouldn’t be speaking so calmly if Bonnie’s injuries were severe. And he even had the presence of mind to ponder the unusual relationship between Jim and Bonnie.
“You don’t need to tell me. Because I trust Bonnie, and I believe she will tell me one day.” Ivor’s words relieved Jim.
“So, how is she?”
“A dagger has cut her arm, but as for other issues, I’ll tell you once the results are out.”
“Other issues?” Jim’s voice rose again.
Ivor held the phone away as his eardrums ached.
At that moment, the door to the examination room opened.
“Bonnie’s coming out. We’ll talk later.” With that, he hung up the phone.
As soon as Ivor saw Bonnie’s figure, he immediately approached her.
“Are your eyes feeling better?”
“The doctor said it’s not serious, but I need to rest for about a week before my vision fully recovers.”
“A week? That serious?” Ivor felt his heart drop.
Then Sigmund called him.
“I heard that wretched McLeod girl ambushed Bonnie. How is she now? It’s nothing serious, right?”
“She’s got a little injury on her arm.”
“What?!” Sigmund asked loudly, “Is it bleeding?”
“Yeah.”
“How dare they provoke my granddaughter-in-law?! They’re asking for trouble!” Sigmund’s
fingers trembled with anger. “I’m et
calling your dad and all your uncles right now. I’ll have them bring their families to the McLeod home. They must give us an explanation today!”
Ivor had initially intended to travel there alone, but Bonnie needed someone to look after her, given her current state. Moreover, his
grandfather had personally
intervened. With Sigmund’s
domineering personality, the
McLeod family would face consequences today.
Before the call could be completed, Jim’s call came in urgently.
“What’s Bonnie’s situation exactly?”
Ivor didn’t beat around the bush and replied, “Her eyes were sprayed with a stronger version of pepper spray. It’ll take about a week for her vision to fully recover.”
“A week to recover her vision? That serious!” Jim punched a nearby tree out of sheer rage.
‘Bonnie is the backbone of the
country’s scientific research! Her eyes can’t afford even the slightest mishap! Today, the McLeod family must be held accountable for what they did to the country!’
Jim immediately called the relevant departments in the country. “Hello, Ms. Bonita has been attacked and temporarily blinded…”
The person who received the call was deathly terrified. “Who? Who dares to attack Ms. Bonita?”
“It’s the McLeod family.”
Sienna returned home with her arm freshly bandaged, grumbling the whole way.
“Damn Bonnie! What did she do to make Orpheus so infatuated? To the extent that Orpheus had to ask Ivor for help.”
