Resurrecting the Genius Within
Chapter 315 What Do I Receive in Exchange?
Joshua stopped abruptly, waited for a brief moment, then pivoted and exited the narrow alley.
Isabelle followed him closely.
She took the lead in initiating a discussion, “What’s the story with those people?”
Joshua answered, “That’s not something you need to worry about.”

Isabelle replied, “I take pleasure in helping others, especially my classmates. Maybe I can lend a hand.”
Joshua countered, “It’s not needed.”
Noticing his attitude, Isabelle pondered silently. His character seems quite alike.
Storm Shadow emitted a comparable vibe, reserved and aloof, lacking faith in others, only revealing a glimpse of emotion later.
Guiding Isabelle away from the alley, Joshua halted near a noodle restaurant, signalling for her to observe.
Isabelle glanced in his direction and inquired, “Do you need to go to the hospital?”
Joshua tersely responded, “That’s none of your concern.”
Taken aback by his tone, Isabelle retorted, “You’re so unappreciative.”
With that, she pivoted and departed.
He observed her entering the noodle restaurant before he turned and made his way back into the alley.
A sleek black Rolls–Royce was stationed at the southern entrance of Taragon University.
George had arrived to pick Isabelle up following her evening self–study session.
As students slowly streamed out of the school gate, the passenger–side car door swung open, and Isabelle got inside.
Meanwhile, a taxi on the opposite side had just begun to pull away.
It was clear that she had opted for a taxi to reach the university.
George glanced at her with a puzzled expression. “You weren’t at school?”
Isabelle clarified, “I went out to grab some food.”
George questioned further, “Then why didn’t you go straight home?”
Returning via taxi suggested a significant distance. Given her prior departure, what prompted her to loop back to school instead of heading straight home?
Might it be due to me? George sensed a rush of exhilaration.
Isabelle stated plainly, “Shall we depart?”

George voiced worry, “Following a packed day of lessons and aiding classmates, you should rest your eyes
more.”
Isabelle cast a glance his way. “You’re constantly fixated on the forum. You should prioritise your eye health too.”
George chuckled in a helpless manner, rendered speechless.
“What did you buy to eat?”
Isabelle passed him the bag.
George opened the bag, uncovering a box of tender and chewy ravioli.
Isabelle extended, “Care for a taste?”
Following Joshua’s departure, Isabelle left the noodle restaurant and received a message from George to pick her up after the evening self–study session.
George commented, “Of course. I’m hungry. I haven’t had dinner yet.”
Upon opening the box, George extended it to Isabelle first.
Isabelle declined. “I’m not feeling hungry.” She also wasn’t particularly fond of them.
George held the ravioli, questioning, “Were these purchased specifically for me?”
Isabelle then turned to Dylan, inquiring, “Would you like some?”
George glanced at Dylan and commented, “He most likely doesn’t indulge in them, does he?”
Dylan responded, “Thank you, Miss Jenkins, but my stomach isn’t feeling well. I can’t stomach these soft items.” Though he outwardly expressed gratitude, bitterness simmered within.
How dare I compete with Mr. George for food? I still want my mouth.
Simply convey to him: “Yes, I bought them specifically for you.” A straightforward statement, ensuring everyone’s content, correct?
Those two scheming individuals, persistently teasing him without cause.

Upon returning to the mansion, following the acupuncture, medication intake, and bidding farewell to George, Isabelle received an electronic file from Danny.
It encompassed all the details regarding Joshua and his parents.
Danny messaged: ‘Boss, I understand your loyalty, but it’s simply about a plate of sweet and sour spare ribs. No need to go to extremes.‘
Danny Holmes added: ‘Boss, simply knowing you care suffices for me!
Isabelle replied: ‘My dog also enjoys playing ball. When are you available to come and match wits with it?‘
Bewildered, Danny held his phone and replied: ‘???‘

The next day at noon, Joshua completed his shift in the cafeteria and opted to tackle his homework there. Having missed numerous semesters of classes, he not only had to make up for the content from those semesters but also stay abreast of the current coursework.
