Realizing that Bonnie had diagnosed his condition, Ivor saw no more reason to hide it from her anymore.
"Frankly speaking, I felt feverish the first day I touched down in Everpeak. I took smedicine then. I didn't think it was too serious, so I ignored it.
"Then, my coughing got worse on the second day, and I haven't been doing better since then. I was worried that I might make you worry. So, I didn't tell you about it." Then something occurred to him. He asked, "Didn't you say your research is hitting an important milestone? How do you find the tto visit me, then? Did you put it aside for my sake?" A hint of guilt flashed in his eyes.

I guess I hadn't told you about it," she said as she pulled out silver needles from her pouch. "I've made a major breakthrough in my research. They're wrapping it up as we speak. I think we'll be able to develop the augmentation soon." His eyes sparkled. It seemed he was happier about it than she was.

"I'm thrilled you flew all the way here just to see me, Bonnie. I'm so glad that you're doing this for me." She rolled her eyes at him. "Do you think you're the only one who can be concerned about his fiancé around here?" "That's not what I meant. I just want you to know I'm very happy to see you here." The mere sight of her renewed his vigor. His sickness even felt more bearable.
"That's enough. Just lie down and stop talking." She shook her head helplessly.
'He looked so weak and vulnerable earlier, but now, he's so full of life that he's still the smart mouth be had always been. Geez. I just can't with him sometimes.' S "Alright." He responded and shut up.

'What I have to do now is neutralize the cold in his body and treat him. He should be recovering well in about three days.' Several minutes later, she wiped the sweat from her forehead and sat down next to him.
