I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1300

All Falcon knew was that he was happy with what Bonnie said. He couldn't help but smile and say, "That's right. We won't be able to make it far if we don't support each other."

Then, he realized her face grew paler by the second. Even her lips were turning pale. He couldn't help but worry about her.

"Your arm might be worse off than my calf is, Barrett. We have to stop the bleeding. Otherwise, your life might be in danger."

What Falcon didn't know was that Bonnie merely made her injury look worse than it really was.

She used her extensive medical knowledge and her expertise in human vital points to make herself look weak. Aside from that, she also made the wound on her arm look more deadly.

'How else am I supposed to make Falcon feel moved and win his complete trust?'

Bonnie brushed her thoughts aside and pretended to be brave. She said weakly, "I-I'm fine. I can keep going."

"I want you to wait for me here while I search for herbs around the cave entrance," he said, limping forward.

Bonnie stopped him. "The Nidhoggs are still lurking outside. You should stay put for now. We went through a lot of trouble to find this hiding spot. What if they saw you?

"There aren't a lot of options around here. If they find us, they’ll catch us and bring us to their base for torturing!"

"You have a point, but I must tend to your wound." Falcon frowned, genuinely worried about Bonnie. "Let me think. Maybe I can figure something out."

Bonnie didn't stop him. Instead, she let him dwell on his thoughts.

Falcon stopped when he heard that. Then, he nodded and admitted it. "Yeah."

Bonnie rested her chin on her hands and pretended to be puzzled. "Given what you told me, he must’ve treated you well. He taught you everything he knew. So, what prompted you to leave the Nidhoggs and change your allegiance to Billy?"

"I guess we wanted different things in life. I didn't get what I wanted from the Nidhoggs. Things worked differently from my expectations, too."

Falcon plucked the herbs. He found two rocks and proceeded to crush the herbs.

"Is it because you aren't satisfied with the level of power and wealth they gave you?" Bonnie knew Falcon had let down his guard around her, so she chose to be direct.

Falcon treated her like family. He was willing to answer anything she asked.
