Resurrecting the Genius Within (Calypso Rain) novel Chapter 316

Resurrecting the Genius Within 

Chapter 316 Lucas 

It probably had something to do with Isabelle sitting across from Joshua during lunch

Finished 

Joshua didn’t pay much attention to it and sat down. After a while, some notebooks were placed on his desk. He looked up and saw it was Isabelle

The whispers among the classmates immediately grew louder

Joshua’s lips moved like he wanted to say thanks, but he couldn’t bring himself to do it 

Isabelle didn’t seem to care and went back to her seat

Joshua opened the top notebook, and saw the name of the student in charge of the classsubject on the title pageIsabelle had borrowed it

Early Saturday morning

Arlo came to check on Deborah

Last time, Arlo came with Magnus to see Deborah, but this time it wasn’t just them

Isabelle was there too

Joshua was mopping up Deborah Martinez, his mom’s vomit when they showed up

In the shabby little room with peeling walls and a nasty smell, anyone would feel embarrassed if they were! caught in that situation

Sorry, we saw the door was open and came in without knocking, Magnus said, trying to help Joshua keep a bit of his dignity

Joshua didn’t say anything. He buried his head in his work, wiped the floor clean, and walked out with the 

παρ

Isabelle stepped aside to make way for him

Joshua’s family lived on the fourth floor in a small apartment with one bedroom, a living room, and a tiny kitchen and bathroom that were cramped

The few dishes they had were placed on the dining table in the living room

The place had barely any furniture, and there were even knife marks on the door, deeply embedded and looking pretty unsettling

The only bedroom was for Joshua’s sick mom, so Joshua slept in the living room on an old bed with just one pillow

There wasn’t even a desk

It was shabby but tidy

When Joshua, came back after cleaning the mop, he saw Isabelle in the living room, checking out the small shabby place. She even flipped the calendar on the wall, which had been there for years and was totally out

She seemed like she was just bored and tagging along

After Arlo finished checking Deborah’s pulse, he called Isabelle into the room

69 

Finished 

Deborah was in really bad shape. She had overworked herself when she was younger, had all sorts of health problems, and had suffered a lot of abuse from her alcoholic husband

Two years ago, she was diagnosed with uremia. She relied on a small government subsidy for her medication and was now bedridden, suffering from the illness

All the household responsibilities had fallen on Joshua

Uremia can’t be cured, so they take it one day at a time

Arlo wanted to see if Isabelle could help ease Deborah’s pain and extend her life as much as possible

Isabelle wasn’t there just to hang out 

When Arlo saw her take out her acupuncture kit, he steppedaside

Miss Jenkins’s got better medical skills than me, so don’t worry.Arlo assured Joshua

Yeah, that’s true,Magnus added

Isabelle plopped down by the bed and told the others, You all can leave first.” 

With that, Magnus was the only one who left the room

Isabelle glanced at Arlo and Joshua, who hadn’t budged

Under Isabelle’s gaze, both Joshua, who wanted to help and Arlo, who was preparing to learn, also exited 

the room

Joshua headed to the kitchen to brew some medicine for his mom

Isabelle unbuttoned Deborah’s shirt and started giving her acupuncture

After a few needles, Deborah’s pained expression began to ease, and she looked at Isabelle with astonishment and gratitude

With a few more needles, Deborah said, Thank you, child.Her voice was tinged with the sickness- induced weakness

Isabelle stole a glance at her, still busy with the needles. Your son is very thoughtful.” 

She chatted with Deborah as if she were chatting with a patient in the hospital, aiming to case the patient’s nervousness, not abruptly

Deborah said, This child has had a hard life, following me without experiencing a single good day, and occasionally enduring beatings from his father.” 

Quickly, tears welled up in Déborah’s eyes, feeling like she owed her son

Isabelle asked, How many children do you have?”
