Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 42 George Asked, “Is the College Entrance Examination Today?" "What is this?" Ethan took the large bag from Isabelle and immediately smelled the strong scent of medicinal herbs.

He quickly opened it and confirmed that it was indeed medicine. Then, the words Maven Apothecary on the bag filled Ethan with even more hope.

He could not hide his excitement as he looked at Isabelle.

Isabelle then explained to Ethan how to decoct the medicine, which ones were for drinking, and which ones were for soaking his feet.

Ethan listened carefully, making sure to remember all the instructions.

"Remember, the water should cover your knees when you're soaking your foot. Only soak your left foot, and make sure the water temperature is as high as you can tolerate. You should cover the bucket with a towel during the soak to keep the steam in, and soak for half an hour each time." "Isabelle, these medicines must be expensive, right?" "It's not that expensive. Only the two ginsengs were a bit expensive, but she did not spend any money on them.

"The muscles in the injured part of your left foot haven't necrotized yet. So you should soak it for a while and then I'll give you acupuncture." "Acupuncture?" "You'll know when the tcomes." After saying this, Isabelle took her acupuncture kit and went back to her room.

Ethan set aside his homework and carefully took out two sets of medicine from the bag before going to the kitchen.

As he smelled the fragrance of the herbs, Ethan's face turned slightly red with excitement.

He eagerly anticipated the day when he could walk normally. Just the thought of it made his heart beat irregularly.

Perhaps no one could understand the emotions he was experiencing at this moment.

Ethan had undergone a transformation after he had seen a glimmer of hope. He used to be silent, gloomy. and would keep himself. Moreover, he hardly spoke to anyone at school and would sit at his desk all day.

Despite being as handsas the school heartthrob Mike, he was always ignored by his classmates. To them, Ethan was that cripple in Class 1. A more polite way to describe him was the top student with a limp in Class 1.

It was not until a few days ago, when he fought with the son of the chairman of the Starspring Group, that the unknown Ethan becthe second most well-known person in the entire school, after Isabelle.

1 Pearls Chapter 42 George Asked, “Is the College Entrance Examination Today?" "Did you hear? Harry has been transferred!" "Transferred? Why? The other students who started the trouble only had to write self-criticisms, and besides, his family is very rich. Why would he transfer? Did he go to a better school?" "I heard that Harry's parents brought several bodyguards to the school and went straight to the principal's office, while Ethan was all alone.

"Everyone thought Ethan was doomed, but guess what? Harry was carried out on a stretcher to an ambulance in the end!" "Wasn't his injury minor? Or did something else happen in the principal's office?" "I heard that Isabelle went to the principal's office later. She's the one who got us the new principal." "Who would have thought that Ethan is Isabelle's younger brother?" "That cripple is Isabelle's brother?" "How dare you still call him a cripple!" If Isabelle's transformation from a poor student to a top student, surpassing even Mike, and making the principal and teachers apologise in front of the whole school, leading to their dismissal, was not enough to prove that she was extraordinary, then Ethan, Isabelle's younger brother, getting into a fight with the son of the chairman of the Starspring Group certainly did. In the end, Ethan did not receive any punishment or have to write a self-criticism, while the wealthy and influential Harry was forced to transfer schools. This made people believe that Isabelle truly had a powerful background! Today, as Ethan walked around the school, he attracted more attention from the girls. Many people also noticed that he was in a good mood.

Although he did not smile or initiate conversations with anyone, it was clear that even his eyes were different.

"I just realised that Ethan is just as handsas the school heartthrob Mike!" "I noticed that a long tago. It's a shabout his foot. Otherwise, Mike might not be the school heartthrob." "So what? He's smart, good-looking, and has such a powerful sister. So, he's definitely going to have a bright future." The college entrance examination was approaching- So, Layla returned to Norward City a few days before the exam.

Both mother and daughter were beaming. They did not look like they had attended a relative's wedding, but rather like they had won skind of prize.

They had changed their clothes and were dressed to the nines, especially Eleanor, who looked like a woman from a big city. Despite the hot weather, she was wearing a scarf and her eyes were almost closed from laughing.

"Fine." Layla decided to keep it for herself.

Ethan took the gift from his second sister to Isabelle's room.

“Isabelle, I don't think Mom and Layla went to a wedding." Isabelle responded, "What they do has nothing to do with me? Ethan felt that something was off, but he could not quite put his finger on it, In the evening, as Ethan was preparing the medicine, Eleanor smelled it and made her way to the kitchen. Upon learning that Isabelle bought the medicine for Ethan's foot treatment, Eleanor becfurious and wanted to pour it away.

"You can't just take any medicine! It could be fatal if something goes wrong. Are you trying to kill yourself? "That girl is trying to poison you! Gosh!" William cout of the room to restrain Eleanor, explaining. This medicine was specially prescribed by Mr. Garth from the Maven Apothecary in Taragon City" He pointed at the paper wrapping the medicine with the words Maven Apothecary. "Mr. Garth prescribed it for her? Have you lost your mind?" Eleanor, who was not very educated, knew about Mr. Garth's fame. She did not believe that Isabelle could obtain medicine prescribed by Mr. Garth, and was convinced that it was a counterfeit from Maven Apothecary.

"Did Isabelle go to Taragon City? When?" Layla noticed this detail.

"Yeah, when did she go to Taragon City? How cI didn't know?" Eleanor chimed in.

"The day after you guys left," William clarified.

Eleanor remained sceptical and persistent. She argued that Ethan's foot had been in bad condition for so many years, so it could not be cured by simply taking smedicine. She insisted on preventing Ethan from taking it and attempted to grab another packet of medicine that had not been prepared yet to throw it away.

"Ethan has been taking it for several days now. Isn't he doing well?" William initially shared the sDulu doubts, but upon seeing Ethan's m improved spirits in recent days, he allowed him to continue taking the medicine.

Although he knew that his son's foot was unlikely to improve, he still wanted to give it a try even if it could only provide a slight improvement.

During the struggle, the medicine/was scattered all over the floor.

Ethan looked at the medicine scattered on the ground, slowly squatted, and picked up the medicine in his hand.

"Ethan." William felt heartbroken and quickly squatted down to help pick them up.

Isabelle, keeping track of the time, gathered her exam supplies and left the house. As soon as she stepped out, she saw Ethan waiting for her at their usual meeting spot before going to school.

Ethan was on break during the exam.

m Right now, he was wearing the clothes Isabelle bad bought for him. Compared to his gloomy appearance when they first met, he finally looked a bit more lively. "I'll take you to school," Ethan said.

There's no need, Isabelle thought.

I'm free anyway." Ethan said and walked ahead.

To Ethan, the college entrance examination was a significant event in one's life. Other students had their parents and family members drop them off. Although he knew that the exam was not stressful for Isabelle, he did not want her to face it alone when he could accompany her. Isabelle was assigned to take the exam at her own school, so Ethan escorted her to the school gate.

Isabelle arrived quite late, and Ethan urged her to enter the examination room.

Then, Isabelle waved at him and leisurely strolled into the school gate.

The parents at the gate shook their heads as they observed Isabelle's relaxed attitude, convinced that she must be a poor student who was bad at her studies.
