NovelEnglish"Ivor, you can tellif you're sick. I won't get mad unless you hide something important from me," Bonnie said.
Ivor's eyes shifted for a split second. "You knowtoo well, Bonnie. Do you think I would hide such a thing? I would've told you to indulge in your concern and attention." After sthought, Bonnie realized he was right. After all, it was uncharacteristic of Ivor to hide something like that. The former said, "I guess I can believe you if you put it that way." Still, she could not help but think something was amiss. Since she was not with Ivor, she could only trust him.

Even so, he tried his best to suppress it and forced a warm smile. "Bonnie, I have an urgent matter to tend to. I'll talk to you again soon." "Hey, are you-" Before she could finish, Ivor hung up.
Immediately after, Ivor stopped suppressing his cough and let it out vigorously, "Cough! Cough! Cough!" It was so bad that his face reddened. Then, he turned pale and felt like his lungs were about to explode.
Floyd noticed how unbearable the cough sounded but could do nothing about it. He said, "Wait here, Mr. Ivor. I'll ask your business partner if they have stablets. They stayed here for a long time. Maybe they know what medicine is more suitable for your cough." "All right." Ivor felt terrible. Instead of rejecting Floyd's suggestion, he let the latter do whatever was necessary. Meanwhile, Bonnie pondered on the video call and realized something was seriously off. She crossed her legs as she sat on the couch and rubbed her chin, formulating a theory, 'Tonight seems so odd.
'First, Ivor has always answered my calls instantly, but he took so long to answer this time. He said the signal was weak, but now that I think about it, he sounded a little forced. 'Secondly, he coughed and looked a little pale. Lastly, it didn't seem like he hung up because of an emergency. Instead, it looked more like Ivor was trying to suppress something.' Based on those clues, Bonnie could conclude that he must have gotten sick and did not want her to worry about him.
'He must've not wanted to waste my time, so he didn't want to tellhe was sick. Now that I think about.it, Ivor looked pretty awful. I thought it was because of the lighting, but he's sick.
Bonnie knew he would keep it from her for as long as possible if she did not question him. She felt heartbroken and annoyed when she picked up her phone and called him again.

When Ivor's phone buzzed, he felt so m terrible that he did not have the strength to check who the caller was. In a daze, he answered weakly and hoarsely, "H-Hello?"
Immediately after, Bonnie confirmed her theory. She was furious as she "Niurious questioned "NI Give you one more chance, Ivor. Are you sick?" Ivor becwide-eyed when he
heard her voice. He still tried to find an excuse, speaking huskily, "I'm not sick, Bonnie. I thought Dexplained myself just now. You have to believe me, don't have to lie to you over something like this." X
