Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 290 Seeking Revenge

‘Since the morning…” Ethan began, then silently turned the camera to show George in the hospital room, hoping George would persuade Isabelle to return.

It was now afternoon, a workday, and George wasn’t at the office but at the hospital.

The two of them stared at each other through the screen. George didn’t speak, just looked at Isabelle, and they were at a loss for words for a moment.

Just moments ago, she had heartlessly refused his offer to come find her at the bar. Now, meeting like this, Isabelle felt an unusual sense of awkwardness.

It was a feeling that was hard to put into words.

George was the first to break the uneasy atmosphere, cautioning, “Be careful.”

He didn’t show any signs of being upset or emotional. His eyes only showed concern.

“Okay.” Isabelle nodded slightly, not saying much more.

After ending the video call, Isabelle felt a bit down. Would George still worry so much if he knew I was Blood Shadow?

The next day, Isabelle went out leisurely, holding the badge. She could enter places that were usually restricted to the public.

It was like she was just touring around.

Even though she sensed someone watching her, Isabelle didn’t take the initiative to strike. She waited for the other side to make the first move.

For two consecutive days, Isabelle spent her days sightseeing, shopping, and evenings relaxing at bars. She neither searched for Jack herself nor allowed Liam to help, seemingly completely forgetting about Jack.

Dark Shadow couldn’t decide and finally showed up on their initiative.

In the bar.
