NovelEnglish"Judging by your tone, you sound like you're underestimating the competition," Toby remarked. "You're overthinking it. I just wanted other people to have the opportunity," Bonnie said truthfully. Toby asked solemnly, "What's the difference between that and underestimating the competition?" Bonnie's brow knitted as she pondered her words. She said, "You'll see why I didn't participate once you visit the research institute." "What are you trying to say?" he asked in puzzlement.
"You'll know when you con the weekend." Bonnie did not want to argue anymore and looked at Avril, saying, "Con, let's go to your place." "Sure, let's go. Mom can't wait to see you." Ivor caught up to them and said, "I'm coming with you guys." Avril turned and blinked. "Y-You want to cto my place, too?" "What's wrong? Am I not welcome?" "N-No, not at all! After all, you're the CEO of the Knight Group. Of course, I'd love to have you as my guest." Avril sighed discreetly.
'I have a hunch that I won't live to see tomorrow if I told him he's not welcome.' Ivor approached his car and was about to open the passenger door for Bonnie when his phone rang. After answering the call, his expression fell.
Bonnie noticed it and assumed something must have gone wrong. "What's wrong? Did something happen?" Ivor replied solemnly, "Grandpa passed out. They sent him to the hospital." "What?! Is Granpa Sigmund okay?!" Bonnie turned and told Avril, "I can't visit your place tonight. Please tell your mom I'm sorry." "It's okay, Bonnie. Your grandpa should be your priority. Hurry to the hospital, okay? My mom will understand." "All right, we should get going, Ivor." Bonnie was distressed and anxious during the drive. When Ivor stopped at a red light, he placed his hand on hers and said, "Don't worry. Grandpa's a good man-I'm sure the universe will look after him. Everything will be okay." Bonnie felt much calmer when she felt his palm on her fist. "You're right. He's done plenty of good, and the universe will protect him. He'll be okay." Twenty minutes later, the couple rushed to Sigmund's ward. When they opened the door, they heard his booming voice, "Hahaha! Checkmate, loser! You lost!"
"I didn't lose shit! You think I didn't see it, but you changed the chess piece's position when looked away earlier," Russell said, exasperated. Bonnie entered, dumbfounded, as she said, "Y-You seem fine, Grandpa. Why?" Russell asked, "What did you think would happen to him? He'll outlive us and make everyone's lives more miserable." "You say that, but didn't he pass out?"
Although it was usually no big deal when people fainted, the scould not be said for older folks. Bussell for smirked and said, "Do you know why he passed out?" Sigmund blushed. "I don't need you to tell them, you blabbermouth."
"That's why I have to tell them. This old coot fainted because he gotm worked up over accidentally breaking his favorite clay teapot." 'That's all this is about?' Bonnie and Ivor exchanged glances.
