"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.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
So he acted.
Bonnie's tears finally fell uncontrollably, seeing Ivor smiling despite his severe injuries.
"Ivor, you big idiot! Why did you run out to save me?"
"Do... I need to explain? You're my wife. If I don't save you, who will?"
Ivor extended a shaky hand to touch Bonnie's cheek, but as soon as he saw his hand was stained with blood, he retracted it.
Bonnie immediately grabbed his
hand and pressed it against her face when she noticed his movement. She suddenly remembered that she was still wearing a mask. To let him feel her warmth more truly, she discarded all concerns and pulled off her mask in front of everyone.
Bonnie revealed her face to the astonished crowd after removing her mask. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she pressed Ivor's bloodied hand to her skin.
"It's really you..." Ivor whispered, a faint smile playing on his lips despite the pain.
Bonnie nodded, her eyes filled with emotion. "Yes, it's me. And you're going to be okay, Ivor. Just hold on a bit longer."
The scene around them was
chaotic. Professors and students were either frozen in shock or
scrambling to help. Emergency
l
services were called, and the chaos intensified as they rushed to the stage.
Bonnie kept her focus on Ivor. She said in a steady voice, despite her fear, "Stay with me, Ivor. Help is on the way."
Ivor's breathing was labored, but he tried to keep his eyes open to focus on Bonnie. "I... knew it was you. Even when I wasn't sure, I hoped..." Bonnie pressed his hand tighter against her cheek. "Don't talk. Save your strength."
When paramedics came, they evaluated Ivor's injuries quickly. Bonnie reluctantly released his hand as they worked to stabilize him, but she stayed close, her presence a comforting anchor for him.
As they prepared to transport Ivor to the hospital, Bonnie turned to the professors and staff. "Make sure everything here is taken care of. I need to go with him."
The professors nodded, understanding the urgency and gravity of the situation. Bonnie followed the paramedics, her heart heavy with worry but her resolve strong.
In the ambulance, she held Ivor's hand and refused to let go. "You're going to be fine," she whispered, more to herself than to him. "You have to be."
Ivor managed a weak squeeze of her hand, a small reassurance amidst the pain. Bonnie's determination only grew stronger. She would do whatever it took to make sure Įvor recovered, even if it meant revealing everything she had kept hidden for solong.
