I Love You, Miss Genius

"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.

In order to distract herself, she made a playful remark at Bonnie. "B-But, the pain is more bearable because you're here with me." "Really? That's wonderful!" Bonnie pulled out a dagger from her pouch.

Yasmine was calm and collected most of the time, but even she was spooked by Bonnie's actions.

"W-What are you going to do?"Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

'He might not have looked like a bad

guy. On top of that, he's so

handsome that it's impossible for him to be a bad guy. However, Ljust can't understand what he's doing. It unnerves me a bit that I have no idea what he's about to do next.

"I'm going to take the bullet out of your thigh, of course. It didn't bury itself too deep into your foot, so we have to seize this opportunity and do it now. Otherwise, we won't have the time to do something like this if Billy's bodyguards catch up to us. "More importantly, you're in danger of losing your foot. The bullet might not have penetrated your bone, but it lodged itself in a critical spot. Your foot is going to lose its function if

we don't take it out while we still

can."

UMS

Bonnie was going to perform the crude, minor surgery, but she saw the expression on Yasmine's face and stopped in her tracks.

"With that said, this is your foot. Now that I've told you about the consequences, it's your call. I'm not going to push you to do it."

Yasmine gritted her teeth and took a couple seconds before she made up her mind. "G-Go ahead and take the bullet out! I'll bear with the pain!"

"No worries. This isn't going to hurt much." Bonnie soothed her.

For a moment there, Yasmine wasn't sure if she should cry or laugh in response. "Have you forgotten how you told me that the powder wasn't going to hurt me? Well, guess what happened?!" "It's different this time." Bonnie waved the dagger on top of her thigh.

"How is it different?" Yasmine asked, puzzled.

At the same time, Bonnie had already taken the bullet out with perfect precision.

"There we go. I've gotten the bullet out."
