Chapter 402

The next morning, Natalie went down for breakfast after washing up.

She had just put down her fork when the four kiddos sat down at the dining table.

“Mommy, did you have enough to eat?” asked Xavian with a cheeky grin. “The week is almost up. You

should take Sophia in as your student!”

So, that’s why the four of them are behaving so obediently today. It is because of Sophia.

Natalie knew what was going on, but she pretended not to know. “You want to be my student? Sure.

But, do you still remember the requirement? Do you remember the poem that I wanted you to recite? If

you can do it at one go without a single mistake, then I will accept you as my student.”

“Mommy, back then, you only mentioned reciting it. You didn’t say she has to do it at one go!” Clayton

was worried for Sophia and voiced his objection.

Franklin chimed in as well, “That’s right. You didn’t say she has to get everything right too!”.

“I didn’t say that? Hmm… I cannot remember. Anyway, it’s the same even if I mention it now.” Natalie

propped her face on one hand and said disapprovingly, “If Sophia thinks that my request is too much,

and she can’t fulfill it, then it’s fine. I can pretend that none of these has ever happened before.”

At that moment, the three boys started to panic.

On the contrary, Sophia seemed very calm. “Fine.”

Natalie looked at Sophia with admiration.

Sophia might appear weak, but she was very strong internally. She reminded Natalie of herself when

she was younger.

Back then, her mother had every intention to teach her about medicine, but she would still make things

difficult for her. However, she would suck it up and never give up.

All of a sudden, Natalie felt that Sophia was similar to her in terms of her looks and height.

Sophia really looked a lot like her younger self!

Natalie shook her head and hurriedly cleared that thought out of her mind.

This is getting too ridiculous. How can I like Sophia so much that I start to think that she may be my

daughter?

Regaining her senses, Natalie said, “All right. Start then.”

“Okay.”

Sophia cleared her throat, but the three boys seemed to be more nervous than she was. They kept

their eyes on Sophia.

Sophia began reciting the poem as requested.

Her young and sweet voice might be reciting a poem that even grownups found it hard to fathom, but

there was no sign of struggle on her young face. Judging from her recitation, it was obvious that she

was not doing this from pure memorization. Instead, she could understand the meaning behind the

words she was reciting.

It was a long poem.

Natalie did not interrupt her recitation. She listened to Sophia in all seriousness.

Once Sophia had completed her recitation of the poem, Franklin, Clayton, and Xavian started

applauding. Even Gavin and all of the housekeepers applauded as well.

Sophia walked up to Natalie and asked with anticipation, “Was that okay?”

“Of course. From today onward, I will start teaching you the basics.” Natalie caressed Sophia’s tiny

face and continued, “Studying medicine is hard. But if you can withstand hardship, then you will be able

to learn well. When you get older, regardless of what is going on in your life, always remember that the

purpose of learning and practicing medicine is to help the injured and the sick.”

Sophia nodded. “I will keep that in mind.”

The three older boys were very happy for Sophia and went forward to hug her.

Looking at how close the four of them were, Natalie could not help but smile.

Although she had lost a boy and a girl, God had been kind and sent Franklin and Sophia to her.

Meanwhile, the atmosphere in the Nichols family was still gloomy.

The slap mark on Melissa’s face was still very clear. She had been bawling her eyes out till they were

red and swollen.

She felt that Yara was responsible for her sorry state. At that thought, she lost all control and dashed

into Yara’s room.

Melissa did not knock before entering. When she got in, she saw Yara getting her nails done.
