Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 299 Silent Understanding
Isabelle fought the urge to spoon–feed Liam.
He couldn’t stop talking, and as a result, Liam ended up in a mess. The cat he held seemed hungry. tapping the table with its tiny paws and meowing. Liam softly caressed the cat’s fuzzy head.
“You seem to be lacking in proper etiquette.”
It remained ambiguous whether he was addressing the cat or himself.
After that, he quieted down and began to eat his meal.

Following dinner, Isabelle passed her new phone to George, asking for his help in logging into WhatsApp.
After logging in, messages began pouring in.
Isabelle impatiently said, “Cut to the chase. George swiftly sifted through the messages from Jim, Yves, White Owl, Danny, the class group. Magnus, Arlo, and more.
He prioritised the crucial ones and remarked, “Ethan’s asking for Jack. I intended to visit him, too. Is his condition severe?”
Isabelle asserted, “Let’s go then.”
George questioned, “Can you find his room?”
Isabelle replied confidently, “Jack can.”
“Woof,” the dog Jack chimed in, leading the way immediately.
George gently took Isabelle’s arm and guided her upstairs. The castle unfolded before them, vast and majestic, with winding staircases and corridors stretching in all directions.
After a ten–minute walk, they reached Jack’s room.
George swung open the door, and Jack the dog eagerly rushed in, showing more affection towards the bedridden Jack than George, even though Jack had a grumpy expression.
“Mr. George,” Dylan called out from his position by the window, immediately turning around to face him. admiring the view shortly forgotten.
George inquired. “Weren’t you supposed to assist with preparing the medicine? When did here?”
you arrive
Dylan responded, “The medicine’s prepared. I followed the servant to Miss Jenkins‘ room and passed by Jack’s room. Since we’re all like family, I thought I’d pop in for a look.”
George didn’t respond to Dylan’s notion of family.
When Jack heard about the upcoming video chat with Ethan, he averted his gaze. “I’m not interested. There’s nothing worth watching,” he remarked, turning his face away.
George initiated a video call with Ethan using Isabelle’s phone, and Ethan promptly answered.

“I said I’m not watching. Jack reiterated, pulling the blanket up to cover his head directly.
George helplessly relayed to Isabelle with the phone in hand, “He’s taken cover under the blanket.”

Isabelle exclaimed, “What a contrast, Jack the dog is much more obedient he shares the same name.” Isabelle crouched down and affectionately stroked the dog’s head.
George shifted the camera’s focus onto the dog.
Initially worried about Isabelle and Jack, Ethan felt relieved when he saw Isabelle still enjoying playing with the dog.
Jack, concealed beneath the blanket, seethed with frustration as he heard Isabelle enjoying herself with the dog.
After some time, George prompted Isabelle to go back to her room for her medication.
Isabelle required daily injections, and with Jack unable to move, she intended to remain in Liam for a period to recuperate before returning.
Liam organised for George to be accommodated in the room next to Isabelle’s.
Upon finishing her medication, Isabelle suggested, “After such a long journey, you should retire early.”
George passed her warm water for rinsing her mouth, voicing concern, “You haven’t showered yet. Can you manage by yourself?”
Isabelle arched an eyebrow, responding promptly, “Are you volunteering?”
No matter how well–spoken one may be, confronting someone like Isabelle can easily catch one off guard. George stumbled, “I meant assisting with fetching a change of clothes and some water.”
“We have servants, Isabelle pointed out.
George settled onto the sofa, remarking, “I’m not ready to call it a night, and the evening is still young. I’ll linger a while longer.” He is stealing a glance at Isabelle.
A moment of silence ensued between them. It was uncertain whether one was ignoring the other while the other gazed back, yet no discomfort was apparent.
George quietly observed her, concerned she might be growing bored, so he broached, “Have you stored my number in your new phone?”
“No.” Isabelle passed him her phone.
George accepted it, navigating to the contacts, and recollected something. He asked, “Did you remember my number when you dialed me yesterday?”
Isabelle confessed candidly, “Yes”
George chuckled softly and commenced saving the number. Upon noticing the notes section, he inquired, “What did the note say? Was if ‘Mr. Harris‘ previously? Should I update it now or keep it as it is?”
