I Love You, Miss Genius ( Bonnie Shepard ) novel Chapter 1360

Bonnie raised her brows. She had a terrible feeling in her gut. “What are you trying to say, Falcon?”

He grinned bitterly and said, “I’ll repay you in the afterlife if I can, Boyd.”

Suddenly, he snatched a gun from the nearest person and shot himself.

Bang!

Then, Bonnie heard a thud as Falcon’s corpse hit the ground.

“Falcon!” Collin stared at the man lying in a pool of blood in disbelief. He had thought of many ways things could have turned out after capturing Falcon, but he never expected Falcon to kill himself.

Although Collin sensed Falcon’s regret and sorrow, the former did not think Falcon would shoot himself like that.

‘Falcon was my friend for over a decade. Even though he betrayed us, I never thought he’d do something like that!’

Collin turned to Bonnie and muttered, “Chief, I—”

Bonnie continued to stare at Falcon’s corpse with a hint of anguish in her eyes. Of course, she was mad at him for what he had done, but she never thought he would take his own life. Moreover, Falcon was someone she used to entrust her life to.

With that in mind, Bonnie lowered her gaze to try to hide her pain. Collin noticed her trying to suppress her feelings and knew she felt much worse than he did.

He approached and soothed her, “Don’t feel bad about it, Chief. Falcon decided to do that, knowing it was the best ending for himself. We should let it go.”

Bonnie could only sigh. “Falcon’s dead. If I remember correctly, you used to visit him at his parents’ place. They were good to you and considered you their own, didn’t they? You should take good care of Falcon’s parents and siblings for him.”

After collecting herself, she added, “I didn’t say that to try and shove all the responsibilities on you. I just want you to spend more time with them while I take care of their financial needs and other things.

“Falcon’s death will break their hearts. They’ll have an easier time grieving with you around, Collin.”

Collin could not help but remember the good times he had with Falcon. They always chatted over a beer or two and wore their hearts on their sleeves around each other. Collin intended to become Falcon’s best friend, and they would support each other in the organization.

Collin never thought this would be how things ended between them. He glanced at Falcon one more time and sighed heavily. Then, he said with melancholy, “Leave that to me, Chief. I’ll treat Falcon’s family as my own. You didn’t even need to tell me to.”

A moment later, Collin approached Falcon’s corpse and knelt beside him to close the latter’s eyes.
