Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 174 Revealing Dr Seely
George carried her out of the bathroom, through the bedroom, and out.
The hallway outside was crowded with the Harrises members, each anxious to know Old Mr. Harris‘ condition. When they saw George carrying the person out, who was still asleep, they all held back their questions and remained silent.
George carried the person into his room next door, placed her on the bed, and then sat beside the bed.
He reached out and pulled up a thin blanket, gently covering Isabelle.
George quietly looked at the girl’s tired, sleeping face with a slight frown. After a moment, he gently held the girl’s hand.
He said softly but solemnly, “Thank you.”
This was the first time
needed more traininabelle had worked so intensely since her rebirth. Her body’s endurance still
Unable to withstand such intense mental and physical exhaustion, Isabelle did not sleep soundly.
Not only did she dream about the inhuman torture in Brookhaven’s basement for nearly half a year, but she also dreamed about her deceased partner from the last mission.
Perhaps they couldn’t be called partners, as they hadn’t executed many missions together. Still, he was her only friend in the shadows.
Isabelle woke up startled by the final explosion.
She opened her eyes and looked up. Before her eyes, there was still a sea of flames from the explosion in her dream. After a moment, she could finally see the unfamiliar ceiling.
She closed her eyes again, turned to her side, and buried half of her face into the pillow, cushioning herself.
The familiar scent came from the tip of the nose.
Isabelle didn’t look, but she knew where she was sleeping.
After a while, she opened her eyes again. In front of her was a half–sized target with bullet holes in the bullseye.
The target, with concentric red rings, was leaned against the left side of the balcony door. Regardless of its colour or aesthetic appeal, it looked particularly out of place in the bedroom’s black, white, and grey minimalist decor.
Isabelle sat up and surveyed the spacious bedroom.
It was George’s style.
At this moment, the bedroom door was pushed open.
“You’re awake.” Seeing her awake, George no longer tiptoed around, quickening his pace.

Chapter 174 Revealing Dr Seely
“How’s your dad?” Isabelle, just awake, spoke slightly hoarsely, giving a lazy impression that was hard to describe.
George replied, “His complexion has returned to normal, and the poisoning symptoms have disappeared. Mr. Garth is watching over him.”
Isabelle murmured in response, lowering her head and pressing her temple with one hand.
Suddenly, the warm palm of the man’s hand pressed against her forehead, and he sat beside her on the bed.
Her forehead felt cold, and George asked with concern, “Feeling unwell? Are you tired? Do you want to rest a little more?”
Isabelle opened her eyes and lifted her head, and he withdrew his hand.
“I just didn’t sleep well, Isabelle replied.
George looked at her pale face and still couldn’t rest easily…
“Then let’s go have breakfast first, okay? You didn’t eat dinner last night, and it’s important to take care of your body.”
Upon hearing this, Isabelle looked towards the balcony. The curtains weren’t tightly closed, allowing light to filter in–she had slept through the entire night.
“Let’s eat later,” she said, feeling too hungry and not wanting to eat right now.
“Why didn’t your dad come to me with this issue?” Isabelle asked him now. “Do you think I can only treat menstrual pain, impotence, and premature ejaculation? Can I also treat a headache?”
George nodded silently. “I thought that besides Dr. Seely, no one else could perform this surgery.”
Isabelle asked him, “Dr. Seely? Do I not look like her?”
George raised his gaze, and both calmly locked eyes with each other.
George gazed into her eyes and said, “But I found Dr. Seely has another identity.”
Isabelle raised an eyebrow slightly in response..
