Chapter 724: Chapter 720: Let Them Be Children for a Few More Years
The Lewis siblings are secretly plotting here.
Roy and Richelle, on the other hand, start planning their vacation after he regains his freedom.
Of course, they are actually very busy.
But that’s how people are; as long as there’s a sweet reward waiting in the distance, the busyness and hardship become insignificant.
“Actually, besides going on a cruise to see dolphins, I think climbing mountains and doing some extreme sports would be nice too?”
Richelle is a fan of extreme sports herself, but ever since she returned to Kindur, her hobby has been completely crushed by work.
Roy wants to participate too, but he fears that his current physical condition does not allow for such intense activities.
He voice his concerns.
Richelle laughed, “Then you can just watch us play!”
Roy shakes his head, rejecting the proposal, “No, let’s leave this for next year when I’m fully recovered and the kids have grown up a bit more.”
Richelle pouts and calls him “stingy.”
Roy hugs her and kisses her softly, coaxing.
“Honey, I’ll accompany you in whatever you want to do, but only if I can be with you.”
It’s not that Roy doesn’t trust Richelle’s abilities, but he prefers to be a participant in her precious memories rather than a spectator.
Richelle is not good at resisting soft approaches, so she can’t hold her ground against him.
“Alright, extreme sports are set for next summer vacation.”
Speaking of next summer vacation, Roy suddenly remembers something.
“By the way, how many years is the educational program for the high-intelligence class our children are attending?”
Richelle, reminded by him, thinks seriously for a moment.
Then, she can’t find any relevant information.
She shakes her head in surprise, “It seems there’s no indication of the duration!”
After saying that, she feels it’s unlikely and opens her email to re-read the initial electronic admission notice the school sent her.
After reading, she looks puzzled.
“The admission notice doesn’t mention the duration either…”
“Were we deceived?”
Roy shakes his head, “Unlikely, don’t forget that this high-intelligence class was initiated by the Supreme Ruler of the Federation.”
Richelle clicked her tongue, “But isn’t he just my uncle? Why can’t he just say it outright?”
Richelle says as she opens WhatsApp.
“I’ll ask the principal directly. I think no one knows better than him.”
Richelle: “Principal, how many years is the educational program for the high-intelligence class our children are attending?”
Principal: “Although the children in the class are highly intelligent, their levels vary, so the duration of the program is flexible.”
Richelle is not sure if this flexibility matches her understanding.
Richelle: “Do you mean the duration varies depending on the individual?”
Principal: “Yes, each child in the class has their own strengths. Our role is to discover the different potentials of each student and send them to the appropriate institution for further studies. Therefore, don’t worry about the duration of our program, it’s just a stepping stone.”
Richelle now understands that if her mentor proposes to admit Timmy at this point, he can graduate from the high-intelligence class directly.
Similarly, the situations for Timothy and Tifanny are the same.
Richelle conveyed the principal’s general idea to Roy, and Roy sighed.
“If we are willing, perhaps our three children can graduate soon.”
Roy says this because when their children joined the high-intelligence class, their basic cultural level was already at a level that could achieve excellent results in the high school entrance examination.
Richelle truly couldn’t bear the thought.
“The kids are too young to be separated and sent abroad; it’s like taking my life. As a parent, I’d rather have them remain children for a few more years.”
They say parents should learn to let go of their children.
But this letting go, as far as Richelle and Roy are concerned, should wait until they are at least in their teens.
Of course, the three children also don’t want to leave their mommy and daddy.
In this family, no matter how smart they are, they’re always their parent’s little darlings.
They can be willful, act spoilt, engage in some harmless little mischief from time to time, and even if they’re scolded by their parents, they won’t be overly criticized or expected to become perfect people.
But if they leave their parents, others will no longer see them as children.
They will be treated as superhuman, even godlike figures, capable of anything — an exhausting and cruel expectation for young children.
This is precisely why Richelle has repeatedly rejected the proposals of several professors to admit the three children directly.
Knowledge can be learned later, but the warmth of family and the companionship of childhood, once gone, is gone forever.
“Didn’t your mentor suggest the other day that Timmy goes to his place for some classes during the winter vacation? What do you think?”
Richelle has no particular thoughts, “Let’s see what Timmy wants first!”
Roy offers a choice, “In the meantime, can I return to normal work soon?”
Richelle nods, “As your doctor, I think your condition is OK. You’re the only one who knows the true status and efficiency.”
Shortly after his surgery, Roy felt a bit powerless at work.
At that time, he was also very anxious.
But thanks to Richelle’s careful treatment, as his body recovered, his work capability and efficiency gradually improved.
