Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 2039

Sheena and Elliot also heard the news, and the group quickly moved to the Nicholls residence.

Fortunately, Callum's fever was caused by a common cold, which was normal for young children and nothing to worry about.

After the pediatrician gave the diagnosis, Asher commented, "He's lucky that it's just a common cold. At least he doesn't have to endure the endless injections and medications I had growing up. Nathaniel, why isn't your son suffering for your wrongdoings back then?"

Nathaniel's face instantly went pale.

"I'm sorry. I'll work closely with the lab to develop a low-dose antidote suitable for your condition as soon as possible."

Asher was speaking privately to Nathaniel while Elliot and Sheena went to check on Callum, and he was delighted to see Nathaniel's distressed expression and self-blame.

Asher scoffed, concealing his petty thoughts and leaving the room.

…

Seasons passed year after year.

Nathaniel rarely mentioned Mavis in front of Callum.

He played the roles of both parental figures, taking great care of Callum's daily needs like a loving mother while also enforcing numerous lessons and rules like a strict father would.

The years flew by, and in the blink of an eye, Callum was already five.

One evening, in the study at the Nicholls residence, Nathaniel sat at his desk, carefully marking Callum's homework with a red fountain pen.

It was advanced math problems meant to prepare Callum for elementary school.

He silently prayed Nathaniel would not be too mad about it!

However, Nathaniel saw right through Callum's anxious thoughts.

Nathaniel was never lenient about his children's education, believing that boys needed strictness to avoid being spoiled and to ensure a better future.

"There are twenty math questions here, Callum. You got eight mistakes, two of which were repeated mistakes from last week. Callum, the problem is obviously you."

Callum clenched his little hands behind his back. He pouted, trying to deflect from the issue, and murmured softly, "I'm still a year away from starting school. Being able to get twelve right is already pretty good."

Nathaniel's gaze remained stern as he said, "When Asher was your age, he was already solving middle school math problems. You, on the other hand, can't even achieve an eighty percent accuracy on elementary school questions."

Out of twenty problems, eight were wrong, nearly half of them, with two mistakes repeated from the previous week's task.
