I Love You, Miss Genius (Bonnie Shepard and Ivor Knight) novel Chapter 1431

"Ms. Jody, watch out!"

Ivor's attention snapped to the commotion.

The chandelier above Bonnie was dangling precariously since the wind had loosened the cords. Bonnie noticed the imminent danger, but the chandelier was too large to dodge, forcing her to run as quickly as she could.

In the chaos, she briefly glanced to the side and locked eyes with Ivor. In that fleeting moment, a deep, unspoken sorrow passed through her gaze.

Ivor sensed a strange familiarity and felt a pang of pain from the sadness in her eyes, and he involuntarily mouthed, "Bonnie..."

The scene was chaotic. Professors, gripped by panic, tried to rush to Bonnie's aid, but the distance from the stage to the ground was too great. Neither the professors nor Bonnie could act in time.

Just when it seemed inevitable that Bonnie would be harmed, a figure dashed onto the stage with lightning speed, shielding Bonnie in their arms.

With a resounding crash, the chandelier fell and struck the man's back forcefully.

"Mmngh—" The man groaned in pain, and the scent of blood quickly filled the air.

Bonnie's eyes widened in shock. She looked up urgently at the person who had protected her—it was Ivor.

Upon seeing Ivor covered in blood, Bonnie abandoned all thoughts of concealing her identity. She supported his sliding shoulders. Her eyes filled with rare panic, and her voice was tinged with tears.

"Ivor, are you okay? Hold on, you have to hold on."

As she spoke, she quickly began massaging certain points to slow the bleeding.

The voice was so familiar. Ivor managed a faint smile despite the pain. "B-Bonnie, I knew... it was you."

When he rushed forward, he wasn’t entirely sure, just faintly suspected. But based on that slight suspicion, he still charged in. Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance that Ms. Jody was Bonnie, he couldn't take any chances.

So he acted.
