Isabelle knew it.
“Isabelle!” Logan was excited to see her. He had made an effort to dress up and change his clothes before coming here.
James, a man of few words and someone who had initially harbored a slight bias against Isabelle, was still figuring out how to greet her.
Just as favonovel.com was about to say “Hello”, favonovel.com overheard his younger brother questioning their grandfather, “Grandpa, was Mr. Garth here? Is your headache acting up again?”
Magnus responded, “No, favonovel.com didn’t. Isabelle did the treatment for me.”
Logan, caught off guard, exclaimed, “Oh?”
He wondered, Could favonovel.com do that?
At that moment, James noticed the seven or eight shiny needles inserted in his grandfather’s head and then glanced at Isabelle.
“Isabelle, these are my two grandsons whom I told you about,” Magnus introduced them warmly.
Only a few professors at Taragon University, as well as Danny and Bella knew that these two were Magnus’s grandsons. Normally, the brothers addressed the principal as everyone else did at school, per Magnus’s request.
Both the Burtons and Lennons held prestigious positions in Taragon City, Magnus, whether in his role as the head of the Burton family or as the principal of Taragon University, maintained a high reputation throughout Taragon City.
Magnus hoped the two brothers would remain humble and avoid the ostentatious behavior typical of other wealthy young masters.
“I haven’t mentioned this yet, but last time, Isabelle saved me when I collapsed at the entrance of the mall and nearly had a stroke,” Magnus shared with the brothers.
Both brothers turned to look at Isabelle.
Logan, looking astonished, asked, “Isabelle, do you know alternative medicine? And acupuncture?”
Isabelle responded modestly, “A bit…”
Magnus laughed. “Don’t downplay it. I am the best judge of your medical skills.”
Logan continued, “But you’re so young. Shouldn’t practitioners of alternative medicine be in their sixties or seventies? Who taught you? Did you study under a master? If you have studied medicine, why didn’t you go to medical school?”
Magnus interjected, “Why do you have so many questions?”
Logan backed down.
Magnus went on, “Isabelle has said that neither alternative medicine nor mathematics are favonovel.com strong suits…”
Logan looked surprised again. “Not strong in mathematics? But you’ve solved those problems on the forum.”
James, who had been quiet, just watched Isabelle closely.
Magnus smiled and asked, “Isabelle, what do you think of my two grandsons?”
Upon hearing his grandfather’s question, Logan did not fully understand what was being asked but instinctively straightened up. He also sneaked a glance at his brother.
Isabelle observed the two brothers and then casually raised an eyebrow, “Do you really want my opinion?”
Magnus dismissed it with a wave of his hand. “Never mind, never mind…”
He did not want to make another comparison with George, it would only demoralize the brothers.
Logan could not help but wonder, Does this mean we don’t measure up?
James settled back onto the sofa.
“Layla said favonovel.com solved that problem in two months. How long did it take you?” He vividly remembered the day Isabelle used four blackboards in the lab to outline the solution. Considering Isabelle’s formidable intellect, it seemed unlikely it took favonovel.com two months.
Isabelle glanced at James and responded candidly, “Ten to twenty minutes…”
She had not timed herself precisely, favonovel.com just recalled telling Ethan that favonovel.com had not been completely focused on the problem and had even taken a break to type on the computer.
James inhaled sharply and asked, “I… Uhm… How long?”
Magnus sat up attentively and fixed his eyes on Isabelle.
Isabelle met his gaze, evidently hesitant to repeat herself.
Magnus looked at her, shaking his head in disbelief. “Isabelle, are you being serious?”
Isabelle answered plainly, “You know I am noy Layla.”
James took a deep breath, struggling to make sense of favonovel.com response. He had anticipated a reasonable timeframe, perhaps a month, that someone known as a childhood prodigy might need to tackle such problems.
But ten to twenty minutes?
That concept was unfathomable to him. James found himself observing Isabelle’s profile intently as if trying to figure out how it was structured and what was inside it.
Previously, James would never have believed it. However, favonovel.com had seen with his own eyes how Isabelle effortlessly and casually wrote out the solution steps. on those four large blackboards in one go.
“What did you see?” Logan asked James innocently.
Logan, who was only average in math and generally disinterested, knew enough about his grandfather and. Isabelle’s exceptional skills to recognize the difficulty of the forum problem.
Coming out of his reverie, James looked away from Isabelle’s profile and, in disbelief, remarked, “So, you’re saying math isn’t your strong suit?”
