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?”
