I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1097

“I’m afraid I don’t believe you.” Yasmine stared at Bonnie with unblinking eyes.

“You’ve got such good looks that countless ladies must’ve tried putting their moves on you. I work in the entertainment industry. So, I’m perfectly aware of how important looks are.”

“Naturally, but I’m more intrigued by someone if they’re interesting to be around with.” Bonnie saw that the powder was about to seep into the bullet wound and couldn’t help but ask her, “How does it feel now? Does it hurt?”

Yasmine noticed where Bonnie was looking. So, she followed her gaze.

Blood was still oozing out of her wound. She didn’t feel anything a second ago, but suddenly she felt a great deal of pain.

“Ugh…”

She tried hard to hold it in. In the end, however, she couldn’t do it anymore and groaned painfully. Beads of sweat covered her forehead.

“I-It hurts a lot.”

Bonnie’s brows furrowed. “This shouldn’t be happening. The powder is supposed to help with the pain. Why did it do the opposite and intensify your pain this much?”

Holding Yasmine’s hand, she checked her pulse. Before long, she found the heart of the issue. “Did you take something to fight against the drug they spiked you with?”

Yasmine gritted her teeth, turned her head sideways, and clamped up. She might’ve been very grateful for Bonnie, but there were some things she just couldn’t say.

Meanwhile, Bonnie read her expression and got the answer she wanted nonetheless.

“I didn’t notice it because it has been a long time since you took that medicine. It wasn’t until after you felt an intense pain from my powder that I realized it.”

“W-What’s causing it?” The pain was so excruciating that Yasmine felt as if she could die at any moment. In fact, she had never felt this level of pain in her whole life.

“That’s because the medicine you took reacts negatively to one of the ingredients in my powder.” Bonnie said and soothed her, “With that said, there’s no cause for alarm. It will hurt a little, but it won’t damage your body or anything like that.”

“A little? I-I’m holding back tears as we speak.” Yasmine gritted her teeth as sweat continued to roll down the side of her forehead.
