I Love You, Miss Genius

A hint of guilt flashed in Bonnie's eyes when she heard Ivor mention Sigmund. Then, she hid her emotions by clearing her throat.

She responded, "I've been too occupied with my research. That's why I couldn't find the time to visit Grandpa. I wouldn't have left him alone if I could find a little free time on my hand." "Just what research is it? How are you this busy?"

Ivor had never seen Bonnie this occupied with a particular research. She didn't even step outside for almost two weeks.

Obviously, he was still skeptical if Bonnie was at Pyralis at all while he was gone. So, he was looking at her inquisitively while he spoke.

Meanwhile, Bonnie realized that Ivor must've been suspicious about something. She might've felt a little guilty, but she didn't let it show.

"It's the research about the augmentation of the latest nanomaterial. We want to see if we can make a breakthrough and surpass our current technology. That way, we can develop an upgraded version." Then, Bonnie pretended to have a headache and rubbed her temples.

"I've overestimated myself. I researched it for a long time, but I just couldn't make a breakthrough. I can't develop a new version of the nanomaterial."

Ivor realized how crystal clear her eyes were and knew that she wasn't lying. Seeing her this troubled about the research, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken.

"The things you have developed so far are more than enough to impress the entire world. Relax. Take it easy. Given your capability, it's only a matter of time before you achieve what you set out to do." Bonnie pretended to be sad and sighed.
