Chapter 1442
"I sent him to handle other tasks."
As Ivor entered, he quietly closed the hospital room door and locked it. Unaware of his small gesture, Bonnie looked worried.
"Do you not have a clear understanding of your condition? Why didn't you let him assist you in coming here?" Ivor asked.
"My injury is on the shoulder, not the legs. I can walk by myself," Bonnie replied.
As he spoke, Ivor approached Bonnie and then reached out to embrace her slender waist.
"Honey, are you hiding something from me?" Ivor asked.
Bonnie raised an eyebrow lightly. "Are you talking about the Shepard family coming to see me?"
Gresham and Vera had only just left when Ivor arrived. She didn't elaborate further, assuming he had noticed.
"No," Ivor denied outright.
This left Bonnie momentarily stunned. "Not that? Then what is it?"
"Imph..." Ivor emitted a faint snort from his nostrils. "At this point, you're still hiding things from me."
He playfully bit Bonnie's ear. "You're not being honest!"
His grip was firm, causing Bonnie to gasp in pain.
"Ah..." She raised a hand to cover her ear, turned away, and glared at Ivor.
"Whatever you want to say, that's no reason to act crazy like this
Ivor interrupted before she could finish. "Why didn't you tell me about being Master Kieran?" Ivor's sudden question caught Bonnie off guard, followed by a wave of unease.
"How did you -"Bonnie began but caught herself in time, switching her approach. "Wait, I know Master Kieran is famous, but I don't know who she is. Why would you say that?"
Ivor chuckled at her response. Cupping Bonnie's face, he got straight to the point. "Honey, I heard your parents talking about it. How long do you plan to keep this from me? After all, I'm your husband. Don't I deserve to know?"
After seeing the displeasure on his face, Bonnie knew she was in the wrong. She took his hand and explained earnestly, "Although I am Master Kieran, I'm not particularly fond of painting. So I didn't want more people to know about my identity.
"After all, being involved in scientific research keeps me busy enough. Revealing another identity as Master Kieran could only bring trouble."
"Why didn't you mention it when you gave me the painting?" Ivor could understand Bonnie's reasoning, but he still felt somewhat uneasy. He often felt like an outsider in these matters.
"Well..." Bonnie was momentarily tongue-tied. Then she continued, "I didn't want you to feel indebted to me. Besides, it was just a painting. What's between us needs no division."
This statement struck a chord with Ivor. He had always felt that Bonnie treated him like an outsider.
But it was clear she regarded him as her own.
However, the matter of Bonnie hiding things from him couldn't just be brushed aside. He needed to extract a little "benefit" from her.
So Ivor leaned closer to Bonnie and gestured towards his check.
"While we don't divide between us, you shouldn't have hidden this from me. Now let me see your sincerity.
Upon hearing this, Bonnie twitched her lips helplessly.
'This man isn't easy to deceive, and he can talk about taking advantage of others with such ease and grace.
