Timothy had thought about that too.
But he shook his head, “Big brother, Mommy said that the adult world is very complicated, and many things may not be what we see. So, Mommy will deal with the big bad guy, and we should not worry about it!”
“Our mommy is very powerful, believe in her!”
Richelle Dunn’s education for Timothy and Tifanny was never a greenhouse model.
She would tell them about the real world within an acceptable range, and then, as much as possible, teach them step by step how to survive in this complex world.
Because her children were different from others.
When other children were still learning some basic knowledge, her children had already learned a bit of everything from astronomy to geography.
Since they knew more than others, it was easy for them to develop a proud mentality, and then, act recklessly.
But they didn’t have enough ability to protect themselves. What they knew was just theoretical knowledge from books. They did not understand the hardest part – the human heart.
Thinking about Mommy’s confident look, Timmy slowly nodded.
“Okay, I trust Mommy!”
Richelle was busy in the bedroom until 2:15 a.m., washed her face, came out to warm up the milk, and prepared snacks and fruit before knocking on the children’s bedroom door.
“Babies, time to get up.”
The three children quickly came out in single file. As usual, they carried small stools to sit around the coffee table, laughing and joking while eating.
Originally, according to the schedule, Richelle would give the three children a foreign language class today.
As they were eating, the three little ones raised their hands together, “Reporting (Mommy)!”
Richelle, who was checking the email from her master, looked up at the three children.
“Babies, what’s the matter?”
Timothy glanced at his brother and then at his sister.
“Mommy, we would like to apply for a day off today.”
The three children were always smart. Every time they made a request, they would take turns reporting depending on the request.
Richelle looked at the three children seriously, “Oh? What’s the reason for applying?”
Although she was just an amateur teacher, she always required her children to follow strict rules when taking classes at home.
Exceptions were not impossible, but they needed legitimate and persuasive reasons.
After all, even if her children were extremely intelligent, they would still have to enter society and live with ordinary people. Society’s rules and frameworks would not change or exempt them just because they were smarter than others.
So, Timothy and Tifanny always knew that they were different from other children, but also knew that they were the same.
The difference was their thinking, acceptance, and capabilities.
The similarity was the world they faced and the rules of survival were the same.
Timothy immediately answered loudly, “My big brother and 1 want to study some programs today, and my sister wants to draw, so can we switch Saturday’s day off with today’s class?”
Richelle looked at Timmy and Tifanny. The two siblings nodded immediately. One said, “Yes, Timothy and I have a difficult program we want to study thoroughly.”
The other said, “Mommy, yesterday my brother and I saw a lot of cute kittens sunbathing in the community garden, and 1 want to draw them.”
After listening to the children’s requests, Richelle thought for two or three seconds and then nodded.
“Okay, we’ll switch today with Saturday, but then we’ll have to do Saturday afternoon’s chores on Sunday afternoon, okay?”
The three children made an OK gesture together, “OOK, no problem!”
After a while, Timothy suddenly remembered something.
“Mommy, didn’t you say Uncle Kendrick was coming on Friday? Tomorrow is Friday!”
As soon as the name Uncle Kendrick was mentioned, Timmy immediately looked up, showing some alertness in his eyes.
Richelle didn’t notice her older son’s expression and just said.
“He was temporarily assigned some work by Granny. He’ll come over once he’s done.”
Timothy and Tifanny looked disappointed, while Tiffany pouted and said, “What? He promised to come!”
Timmy, however, visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
After the three children finished their milk and snacks, they carried the tray back into the kitchen, put the chairs back in the corner, washed their hands, and returned to their bedrooms to do their own thing.
Richelle always struck a balance in educating her children. Since she had promised them that they could use their free time, she let them do whatever they wanted.
As for her, it was an excellent opportunity to deal with the unfinished business at hand.
Her master had just sent over a case report that was somewhat similar to Roy Lewis’s situation.
Before the surgery, the surgical team conducted a thorough assessment and concluded that the worst-case scenario would be the patient falling into a coma.
However, the patient died halfway through the surgery due to a sudden incident.
When Sonia Seaton sent the case report to Richelle, it was to help her make a proper assessment and prepare for Roy Lewis’s condition and surgery.
Richelle was always very focused when it came to work.
So once she sequestered herself in the bedroom, she asked Mrs. Walker to keep an eye on the three children in the other room from time to time.
Though Mrs. Walker had not been with them for a long time, she already treated Richelle and her family as her own.
She loved the three children wholeheartedly.
“Alright, I’ll keep an eye on them. You focus on your work.”
Therefore, every half hour, Mrs. Walker would open the bedroom door to check on them.
Each time, she would find the three children sitting on the carpet near the balcony, each with a small table in front of them. On Tifanny’s table, there were oil paints and drawing papers.
Timmy and Timothy had their laptops on their small tables.
Seeing that the three children were busy with their tasks, Mrs. Walker did not disturb them and closed the door gently.
A while later, Timmy asked Timothy, “Little brother, how is it going? Any progress?”
Timothy scratched his head with a troubled look, “There are still two more barriers that I can’t crack, no matter what 1 try. How about you, big brother?”
Timmy also scratched his head, “I also have two barriers left. It seems that Dad has recently updated the system, making it even more challenging than before!”
Just as the girl had finished drawing a picture of a cat chasing its tail, she triumphantly held up the drawing and said,
“Brothers, come look at the kitten I drew!”
The two brothers, who were deeply worried, glanced at their sister’s drawing. In the picture was a little calico cat, its tail and body curled into a circle with its head turning towards its tail.
Apparently, the little calico cat was attracted by its tail and was playing with it!
“How about it? The kitten is adorable, right?”
Timmy nodded with a smile, “Yes, it’s very cute, but a little bit silly.”
Timothy agreed, “Yeah, it’s just a silly little kitten!”
Tifanny didn’t mind her brothers calling the kitten silly. In her dictionary, silly wasn’t a derogatory term at all.
Mommy and her brothers always called her a silly girl, but she knew that only those who were loved could afford to pretend to be silly.
“Hehe, yes, it’s quite silly, but lively and cute, right?”
The two brothers fully agreed with this.
The little girl finished her presentation and lowered her head to draw another kitten, this one chasing a butterfly.
For people and kittens alike, many joys come from these silly little things.
After looking at their sister’s drawing, Timmy and Timothy stopped their work and fell into deep contemplation. A few minutes later, the two brothers raised their heads simultaneously.
“All, brother (little brother), I’ve figured it out!”
The brothers were both amused by each other’s words, and they laughed together for a while. Then Timmy spoke up first,
“Little brother, you tell us first. What did you think of?”
Timothy pointed to the gibberish code on the computer.
“No wonder 1 could never break through this barrier. I’ve been chasing my tail in circles, just like the kitten! Big brother, how about you?”
Timmy nodded and laughed, “I’m just like my little brother, chasing my tail all this time. No wonder I couldn’t break through.”
The brothers exchanged smiles and Timothy even pouted a little.
“Hey, it turns out we’re both big fools! We’ve been tricked by Daddy’s cunning fox!”
