Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 376 New School Term

+5 Pearls

Isabelle knew about Joshua’s situation; they had been in contact all this time, though neither was very talkative.

Joshua’s front door was ajar. It could only close properly if locked, so it was usually just left slightly open.

Inside, the sound of rolling bottles echoed.

Isabelle pushed the door open and walked in. She headed straight to the inner room and found Joshua sitting on the floor next to his bed. He looked dejected, surrounded by the stench of alcohol.

In addition to the bottles on the floor, there was a pile of books.

He struggled with the desire to change and the temptation to give up.

Joshua was clearly drunk. He stared at Isabelle for a long time without recognising her. She walked up to him and kicked aside a bottle, the noise snapping him to some semblance of alertness.

Now somewhat sober, Joshua felt a pang of shame.

Isabelle said, “If you can still feel ashamed, you haven’t completely wasted away”

Joshua struggled to stand up but lacked the strength.

Isabelle added, “What’s the difference between you and your drunkard father now?” Despite her harsh words, she helped him to his feet.

She noticed a bottle of melatonin–sleeping pills–on the bedside table.

Isabelle’s words seemed to sting Joshua.

He leaned against the bed, silent for a long time.

With that, Isabelle turned to leave.
