Resurrecting the Genius Within

Chapter 457 He Loved You

Isabelle looked at the rain and calmly stated, “I always thought that I was the first test subject, but in fact, Storm Shadow had been there long before I was taken to that lab. He endured much more suffering than I did. And I had no idea of it.” 

Although her tone was calm, the emotions in her eyes proved otherwise. 

George listened quietly. 

“He knew my temperament, and he didn’t dare tell me. Once the genes are extracted, Dark Shadow will kill the person. 

“He was destined to die, so he used his death to help me escape. I had no attachment to Dark Shadow. I only wanted to follow Storm Shadow wherever he went. He also wanted me to leave, so he volunteered to accompany me on a mission.” 

Isabelle’s mind drifted back to that moment. 

“He told me to leave Dark Shadow once he passed away, but I didn’t take his words seriously.” She paused before continuing. “Until I see his corpse …

Isabelle was lost in her memories. “He suggested we split up. He told me to go first. I was quite far ahead and looked back to see him still standing there, watching me … If only I had noticed his odd behaviour…” 

Storm Shadow’s feelings for Isabelle were stronger than anyone else’s. He has been by her side for over twenty years. 

They shared familial bonds, friendship, and perhaps even love. He had even died for her. 

George understood that Isabelle would never truly move on from Storm Shadow’s death. 

Isabelle continued, “I thought his death was an accident, so I made a deal with Dark Shadow. I traded eighty percent of my genes for freedom. 

“Strom Shadow had always wanted to live an ordinary life. He had everything planned, down to the kind of house he wanted to live in I wanted to fulfil his wish after leaving Dark Shadow.”

However, Storm Shadow’s passing made her stay willingly in the laboratory instead of leaving Dark Shadow. 

Raindrops continued to hit the window, and George remained silent. 

However, Isabelle took the initiative to ask him, “Aren’t you curious about the relationship between Storm Shadow and me?” She looked at George. 

George looked into her eyes and shook his head slightly. He hadn’t intended to ask, but in the end, he couldn’t resist saying, “He loved you.” 

Isabelle was silent for a moment. “I know.” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

George probed further. “What about your feelings for him?” 

Isabelle thought for a moment and said honestly, “If he had asked me to marry him and have children with him, I would gladly accept it. I always wanted to spend my life with him.” 

George felt a surge of emotions, but he accepted it quickly. Isabelle’s and Storm Shadow’s bond was so strong that it was understandable if they ended up together. 

Moreover, from what she said, George noticed that she was a step away from developing romantic feelings for Storm Shadow. 

George was secretly relieved about that. 

Isabelle’s willingness to confide in him was her way of reciprocating her feelings for him. 

What more could he ask for? 

She recounted everything calmly, from her rebirth to taking revenge against Dark Shadow. 

But after that, Isabelle remained silent. 

She had been sitting in the room for almost four hours now, and the rain was still pouring. 

The small room was dimly lit by a single desk lamp. She was enveloped in 

shadows.

George, who was still processing everything, didn’t dare disturb her and silently stayed by her side. 

Isabelle, who had been staring blankly at a spot, suddenly turned her gaze to him. It took him a moment to realise she was looking at him. 

He asked gently, “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” 

After a while, Isabelle said, “I was thinking of a way to convince you to return to Taragon City.” Her tone was flat. 

George’s expression changed slightly, and he immediately said, “I’m not going back.” 

He firmly told her, “Wherever you are, that’s where I’ll be.” 

Isabelle continued, “I originally planned to leave you behind.” 

George was speechless. It was hard for him to accept it. After a pause, he asked, “Then why didn’t you do that?” 

Isabelle replied bluntly, “I was afraid you’d be foolish enough to search for Dark Shadow for me.” 

George would definitely do that. 

“Where is Dark Shadow’s base?” He asked. 

“Why do you want to know that?” 

“I’ll go there if you ever go missing.” 

“Are you threatening me?” Isabelle asked. 

“Yes,” George said. 

Isabelle smiled faintly. 

“You have to return to Taragon City … ” Isabelle paused. “You’ll be fine as long as you are away from me. If you push them too hard, they might really kill you.”
