Resurrecting the Genius Within 

Chapter 390 Joshua’s Trouble 

The conversation quickly dried up. 

Isabelle asked him, “How are you feeling? Any better?” 

Joshua replied. I’m fine.” 

Fine? Even a blind person could see he wasn’t. 

His pride kept him from wanting to discuss his mental issues, so he changed the subject. “I haven’t congratulated you yet.” 

“Thank you,” Isabelle replied.

Joshua turned his head to look at Isabelle’s soft profile. After a brief silence, he asked, “Can I take you to dinner tonight?” 

Before Isabelle could respond, he quickly added. “A new restaurant opened near the school. It seems pretty good.” 

“Sure.” Isabelle agreed. 

Joshua’s lips tugged into a slight smile. 

After school, they went to the restaurant. 

It was decent, with an average cost for each person less than a 100, totalling over more than 150 dollars for the two of them. Isabelle knew Joshua had a part–time job off–campus, but that money was still a high expense for him. 

She also noticed the fresh bruises on his arm. 

Since she met him, he’s never been free of injuries. 

Isabelle didn’t ask how he got them. 

She picked up the menu. Instead of ordering the cheapest items to save him money, she chose a moderately priced steak set. 

The waiter asked Joshua what he wanted. 

“The same,” Joshua replied. 

While waiting for their food, Joshua asked, “Do you know any hackers?” 

Isabelle responded, “Interested in this mysterious profession?” 

Joshua said, “Not really.” 

The atmosphere grew quiet again before he added, “I just wanted to find something to talk about.” 

Isabelle stared at him..

eyelashes trembling. He likely sensed Isabelle watching him, but he didn’t turn to meet her gaze.. 

“I don’t know much about psychology, Isabelle said. “It’s a tricky illness. It all depends on the patient’s mindset.” 

Joshua finally looked at her, his eyes gradually heating up. He nodded. “Yeah.” 

Soon, the steaks arrived. 

Isabelle noticed Joshua glancing at the utensils in front of him, then sneaking a look at her. 

She picked up her knife in her right hand and fork in her left, cutting into the steak. 

Joshua followed her lead. 

They ate in relative silence. 

After finishing, Joshua got up to pay the bill. Then, they walked back to Isabelle’s neighbourhood. 

Only a few days remained before they concluded their tutoring sessions. 

Joshua wanted to learn computer skills from Isabelle but hadn’t found the courage to ask. 

Isabelle spoke first, “After graduating from university, you could easily become an ordinary programmer. Are you interested in learning some other skills from me?” 

Joshua immediately looked at her and then nodded. 

He even asked, “Are you really going to start a company?” 

Isabelle smiled and said, “Maybe.” 

Isabelle could feel that Joshua’s mood had significantly improved. 

Under the moonlight, they walked side by side. 

As they walked, their pace suddenly slowed down. 

A group of about twenty young men appeared in front of them. 

The leader glared at Joshua from a distance. He spat on the ground after removing the cigarette from his mouth, looking like he wanted to rush up and beat Joshua to death. 

Joshua stopped. He grabbed Isabelle’s hand. 

Isabelle stopped as well. 

The next moment, Joshua tightened his grip on Isabelle’s hand and started running. 

Isabelle had no idea why he was running. 

“D“mn it! Get them!” the leader shouted. The group began chasing them. 

The gang pursued the two figures on the street as they dashed away.

Joshua didn’t give Isabelle a chance to speak; she was simply running against the wind.

The gang split up to catch them. When they saw the road ahead blocked, Joshua changed direction and kept running. 

Joshua led them into a park, with the gang following close behind. 

ཆོོ ཝཱ 

After searching without finding them, the gang left, cursing- 

Joshua and Isabelle had hidden behind a tree just ten metres away. 

When the gang finally left, Joshua’s tense body relaxed. 

He then realised they were standing very close together. 

Joshua took half a step back, then, unsure why, he stopped and didn’t move any further. They remained at that close distance. 

He looked down, gazing at her. 

The late–summer night air was a bit stifling. 

The next moment, Isabelle pushed him away. 

Joshua’s expression turned awkward. He said nothing. 

Isabelle started walking back. 

Joshua followed her. 

He didn’t join her for tutoring. After leaving the park, he said to her from behind, “I’m heading home.” 

Without waiting for her response, he quickly walked away. 

Because of what happened that night, Joshua ávoided her for the next few days. Even when sitting together for tutoring, he tried not to meet her eyes. 

Isabelle didn’t mind, but that didn’t mean others didn’t. 

George noticed that Isabelle was always tutoring Joshua when he came to see her in the evenings.
