Resurrecting the Genius Within 

Chapter 431 An Intruder 

She felt utterly exhausted, devoid of any energy. 

George helped by stooping down, moving nearer to her, and using a hand to shut her unfastened clothes over her chest. 

Summoning a surge of energy she hadn’t recognised she possessed, she grasped his torso and whispered gently, “Storm Shadow… it hurts… embrace me… 

” 

Beside her, George lay quietly, pausing briefly before softly replying, “Certainly.” 

In the dimly lit room, he affectionately enveloped her, unable to decipher the emotion in her gaze. As she murmured, “Storm Shadow …” 

George comforted her, saying, “I’m by your side.” 

Encountering her vulnerable condition for the initial instance, George, accustomed to her resolute demeanour, experienced a sensation of discomfort and apprehension. 

Yet, she bore numerous injuries, preventing him from embracing her closely. 

Comprehending that an incident had transpired in the desert, likely involving the person known as Storm Shadow, he realised the gravity of the situation. 

He understood that this assassin known as Storm Shadow occupied a special position in her affections, separate from her sentiments toward Yves and Jim. 

He conjectured that if Storm Shadow remained alive, he would have no opportunity. 

Unintentionally, Isabelle begged, “Stay with me…” 

Gently, he vowed, “I’ll stay.” 

With his words comforting her, she slowly eased into his embrace. 

The room descended into quietness, her fingers faintly clutching his attire, uncertain if she had slipped back into slumber. 

A couple of minutes passed. 

Unexpectedly, her voice broke through his embrace, gentle yet distinct, “George 

George’s gaze softened, and he bent down to press a tender kiss to her warm forehead. 

He replied, “It’s me.” 

Their gazes met, and he said, “Rest for now. I’ll stay right here.” 

Briefly roused, she cautioned him, “We mustn’t stay long. Dark Shadow possesses remarkable tracking abilities, and their members might have traced us here.” 

Having relayed her warning, she slipped back into a profound sleep, her hold on his clothi easing.

George proceeded to fasten her clothes securely. 

The hotel’s inadequate soundproofing allowed footsteps from outside to resonate clearly within George stayed watchful, never relaxing his vigilance. 

He checked on Isabelle regularly, using a cotton swab to moisten her lips and mouth, remaining steadfastly by her side. 

The cooling methods yielded some results, slightly lowering her fever, but it surged again late into the night. 

Her injuries were severe, resulting in frequent bouts of high fever. Any inflammation could pose a serious risk to her life. 

Recognising the urgency, George arranged for new clothing and a car from the hotel staff. After dressing Isabelle in new attire, he guided her through the rear exit, heading towards a hospital further away. 

Shortly after, Isabelle was settled in a hospital bed, receiving fluids. 

George was on the brink of exhaustion, yet he couldn’t allow himself to rest. 

Each time medical staff entered, he stayed vigilant, anxious they might bring weapons instead of aid. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Fortunately, they passed the night without incident. 

Isabelle continued to battle a fever, though its intensity had waned from the previous night, keeping her in 

an unconscious state. 

As mid–morning approached, George had initially intended to depart later in the evening. However, his plans were abruptly altered when his men informed him of Dark Shadow’s presence in the city. 

Without hesitation, he swiftly left the hospital, bringing Isabelle. 

Upon the doctor’s return to the room to check on her, he discovered that she had disappeared without a 

trace. 

George relocated to a different hotel, strategising to leave unnoticed under the cover of night. 

Isabelle was unconscious due to serious injuries. So, George had to constantly move and switch hiding spots to escape from those chasing them. 

Coming across someone as proficient as Dark Shadow, whom he had previously encountered in Alcott, could result in a deadly outcome. 

Returning to Taragon City with Isabelle was too risky for them. 

Besides the difficult journey ahead, how could they ensure a safe return? Even if they reached Taragon City without harm, escaping Dark Shadow’s assassins would be challenging, despite the Harris family’s formidable defences. 

With the awareness of Isabelle’s location, the concealed Dark Shadow possessed numerous means to execute an assassination. 

The entire city was shrouded in darkness.

George paced between the door and the bed.

Then, he approached the window and softly drew back a portion of the curtain. 

At that instant, a mysterious silhouette clandestinely slipped into the hotel. 

The hotel receptionist was dozing off, while the surveillance cameras inexplicably stopped working. 

The figure meticulously searched the hotel, finally arriving at the door of George’s room. 

Facing the electronic lock, the intruder used a technique that quickly unlocked the door for them. 

Quietly, the intruder stepped into the room. 

Around the corner, George cradled Isabelle, who lay unconscious. 

Once the intruder entered the room, George immediately carried her and left via the stairs. 

He rapidly descended the stairs, carrying Isabelle in his arms.
