Hannah watched Lewis with a quiet and analytical gaze, taking in his behavior and mannerisms.


    He was an enigma-brilliant and talented, but challenging to handle.


    She had seen him in theb before, usually yful and light-hearted, but when it came to research, he transformed into a focused, driven scientist.


    Lewis’s family situation was also troubled.


    As a matter of fact, it was perhaps the most dire of all the students’.

    However, Lewis’s father had be addicted to gambling, squandering the money and losing the apartments in quick session.


    The gambling debts he had incurred reached $3 million, and in the end, he took his own life by jumping to his death.


    Lewis’s mother had worked tirelessly to support his education, in addition to caring for his younger sister, who was still in middle school.


    But when she fell ill, the creditors began to hound Lewis once more.


    Saul, generous as ever, provided the family with $1 million to save Lewis’ mother’s life and help them keep their heads above water.


    Eventually, Lewis managed to pay off the remaining $2 million, leaving his family more financially secure than ever.


    It just couldn’t be him.


    Or could it?


    Lewis waved his hand in front of Hannah, a roguish smile on his face.


    “Hey, Hannah, why are you giving me that look? Do you have a crush on me or something?”


    “Bah!” Judy immediately stepped in, her voice full of disdain.


    “Don’t be so gross, Lewis.


    Hannah already has a boyfriend.

    Lewis Laughed it off, his amusement undeterred.


    “I’m not even allowed to joke about it? You’re so touchy!”

    As soon as Hannah left, the rest of the team shifted their focus towards her retreating figure.


    “Don’t even think about flirting with Hannah,” Judy warned, pointing a finger at Lewis.


    “She just got back.


    Watch your tongue!”


    She then gave Lewis a light punch on the shoulder.


    “Ouch!” he cried out, rubbing his shoulder.


    “So what’s up with her? When did she even return?” he continued.


    However, Judy didn’t let up.


    “You ask too many questions! We’ll know when Hannahes back.
