I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1294

Falcon heard Collin's voice. It was as familiar as it was blood-chilling.

He was shocked. Gulping, he said, "H-Hold on. That's Collin. He's Boyd's most trusted henchman. We can't keep going down this path!"

"How did they find their way here?" Billy's face was dark.

'I intentionally chose the least known escape route to avoid being captured by the Nidhoggs. Aside from myself and some of the men I trusted the most, no one in my organization knows about it.

'That's why I didn't bring anyone else with me to this escape route, except Barrett and Falcon. Just as I thought we were out of danger, we bumped into the Nidhoggs the moment we came out of the tunnel.

'What are the odds?!'

Bonnie interrupted his thoughts and said, "This is not the time to think about this, Billy. We have to focus on getting out of here safely."

Falcon went along with her. "Barrett's right, Billy. What matters most now is to get out of here. We can think about everything else once we're safe and out of the Nidhoggs' reach."

"The thing is, this escape route only leads back to my base! So, where are we supposed to go now? We'll just get captured if we turn back!" The veins on the side of Billy's head twitched.

A strong sense of powerlessness rose within his chest. He had no idea what he could do to get out of this pickle.

Bonnie saw it and pretended to be in deep contemplation. Then, she made it look like she had made a decision and said to Billy,

"Hide, Billy. Falcon and I will draw their attention and make sure you're safe. We'll think about the rest later."

This was the last thing Billy and Falcon expected her to say. So, they were both stunned.

"Y-You're risking a lot to protect me, Barrett… Aren't you worried that things might end terribly for you?"

"Not at all!" Bonnie lifted her chin and said confidently, "You saved my mom, Billy. That means I'm indebted to you greatly. You need me now, so I'm not going to shy away from the danger!"

"Wonderful!" Billy's voice was brimming with admiration.

"I knew I was right about you! It turns out you don't disappoint me at all!"

With that, he looked at Falcon. He couldn't help but grow solemn. "What about you, Falcon? Are you willing to do it?"

"Um…" Falcon looked vexed, and his eyes were filled with reluctance.
