Chapter 313 Observing Joshua

“I just got wind of his circumstances, so I decided to make an exception and bring him in. I even thought- about covering his living expenses, but this kid has principles and declined. Instead, I permitted him to work part–time at the school cafeteria and library.

“As for his mother’s health, I had Arlo assess her. It appears she doesn’t have much time left, sigh …

“Isabelle, you wouldn’t believe it. I spotted him at the auto repair shop, swapping tyres on a vehicle. His arms were as slender as a wrench. A lad not even fully grown, barely scraping by for a meal,” Magnus’s tone was brimming with compassion. “And the client was there, adding to his troubles.”

Isabelle examined Joshua’s document, gazing at the picture of his familiar, sombre, and thin face, experiencing a sense of déjà vu.

How could he bear such a striking resemblance to Storm Shadow?

Even their physical forms were alike.

Magnus let out a sigh, then inquired with interest, “Isabelle, what’s got you checking out his profile?”

Isabelle responded, “Oh, just a passing thought. He seems oddly familiar.”

“Why not strike up a friendship with him? I recall your brother being quite reserved like him, perhaps you two could hit it off.”

“Do I appear to be someone who relishes performing acts of kindness?”

Magnus chuckled, “Certainly, I owe my life to your benevolent acts, Isabelle.”

Isabelle didn’t have many words to offer. It was merely Magnus’s good fortune. She had received the needle from Arlo, but at that moment, her curiosity about trying out the new needle outweighed any thoughts of saving someone.

After leaving Magnus, Isabelle stumbled upon Joshua working part–time at the cafeteria. It was easy to find, with Joshua stationed at the counter and a string of girls forming a line. Isabelle joined the queue.

“Why is Isabelle dining at the cafeteria? Doesn’t she usually dine at the restaurant? Is she here for Joshua?”

“Perhaps. Who doesn’t like charming guys?”

“That’s merely a preference for girls like you, Mr. George, with his polished and mature appearance, is the true charming guy, isn’t he?”
