Chapter 454
Bonnie wanted to tell Ivor off by saying she would have no issues finding someone better than him,
especially with her qualities. Even so, a venomous snake had bitten him. If she had said that, he would get upset, and his heart rate would rise, causing the venom to circulate faster.
Ivor motioned to remove his pants and said, “Hurry, suck out the venom!”
Bonnie stopped him and said, “No way in hell am I doing that! Will you look where you got bit?!”
Since the fang marks were close to Ivor’s inner thigh, it would be highly awkward and embarrassing for
her to do it.
“Well, are you going to leave me here, Bonnie? You can’t be this heartless. If you had gotten bit, I would’ve
sucked out the venom from wherever you got bit.”
After some thought, she said, “Stay put while I look for some herbs and apply them to the bite. That’ll cure
it.”
“There’s no need for all that trouble. You just have to suck-” Ivor stooed when he noticed Bonnie glaring
at him.

She said, “I’ll leave you here if you keep this up.”
Jim was sleeping on the bed before he jolted awake from a nightmare. Benedict came over with some hot tea and said, “You’re awake, Master Jim. You don’t look well. Did you have a bad dream?”
“Mhm.” Jim nodded. He had a nightmare where someone assassinated Bonnie. He asked, “Where’s
Bonnie?”
“She’s out with Ivor.”
“Where did they run off to? Is it just the two of them?” His worried expression roused Benedict’s curiosity.
‘I know he’s a close friend of Bonnie’s, but does he ha
to be this nervous about her going off with Ivor?‘
“Yeah, Sis said her friend’s grandfather would have a birthday party soon. So, she went to the hill to pick
some horsetails for him.”
At that moment, Welma barged in, saying, “This is bad! Someone got hurt!”
To their surprise, Jim bolted out of the room. “Bonnie!”
Welma and Gerald exchanged glances, and the former asked, “Honey, don’t you think Master Jim cares too much about Bonnie?”
“Yeah, I sense that, too,” Gerald said as he watched Jim leave.
Welma’s eyes widened as she exclaimed, “I–Is Master Jim in love with Bonnie?! I would agree in a
heartbeat if he wanted to marry her. On the other hand, Ivor would make a fine husband, too.

“I’m not even talking about his wealth. He’s so in love with Bonnie, and I’ve never seen that look he gives her on another man’s face before.”
“Don’t you think you’re overthinking it?” Gerald did not think Jim harbored such a feeling toward his
daughter.
Welma insisted, “Isn’t it obvious? Just look at how much he cares about Bonnie! Why would he dash out of the house if he didn’t have feelings for her? Go on, tell me. Why else would he care so much?”
Gerald did not have a good answer for that. Still, he did not think Jim loved Bonnie that way.
Meanwhile, Jim raced out of the porch. He was tense the whole way up the hill. When he saw Bonnie, he picked up his pace and ran to her, scanning her from head to toe. “Where’s your wound? Tell me! I’m worried sick about you!”
“Well…”
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll hit you till you pass out and take you to the hospital for a full check–up.” After some thought, Bonnie said, “I’m not the one who got hurt. Ivor did.”
