I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard )
Chapter 1307

Billy glanced at Francesco and asked, "Did you hear that?"

Francesco responded confidently, "I did, sir! Falcon said he's at the cave below us!"

Billy ran over to the hill and looked but could not see the cave. "Guys, lower your ropes!"

Francesco panicked and quickly pulled him back, saying, "Don't stand there, sir! It's dangerous. What if you fall? Here, I'll take two men with me, and we'll climb down to check the area."

"Okay, go." Billy stepped back and kept a safe distance from the hill.

Meanwhile, Francesco lowered a rope and climbed down. He had only reached halfway down when he saw Falcon and Bonnie. Francesco was startled, shouting, "Jeez!"

Billy heard his voice and leaned over. "What's wrong?! Did something happen? Do you see them?"

Francesco gathered himself before responding, "Y-Yeah, I see them. Nothing happened. I just got scared, that's all."

He jumped off the rope and stood at the cave's entrance. Then, he saw the severe injuries Falcon and Bonnie had sustained. Francesco quickly gave the rope to Falcon, saying, "You're hurt. Can you tie the rope to yourself for them to pull you up?"

However, Falcon tied the rope around "Bonnie" and said, "Here, you go first. I'll be right behind you."

She thought he would have been eager to leave first and did not expect him to prioritize her instead. Although surprised, she hid her feelings and said, "I appreciate it. I'll see you up there."

Billy felt better after seeing Bonnie. Then, he looked down again and asked, "Where's Falcon? Is he okay?"

"We're both hurt," Bonnie said as she showed Billy her arm. "My arm's injured, and Falcon has an injury on his leg."

Billy frowned as he looked at Bonnie's blood-stained shirt. "How'd you get hurt so badly?"

He was grateful that Bonnie and Floyd had escaped from the Nidhoggs, even though they had sustained severe injuries.

'At least they're competent,' Billy thought.

Bonnie was about to say something when the others pulled Falcon up. The latter heard Billy's question and replied, "Barrett got hurt protecting me."

"He protected you?" Billy looked at Bonnie in surprise.

The latter then briefly explained everything to Billy. The more he listened, the more surprised he felt. He admired Bonnie even more after hearing about what had happened. He said, "I can't believe you're so courageous despite your age."

Then, he turned to Falcon and said crudely, "Barrett put his life on the line for you. I don't know what to say if you're still suspicious of him."
