Chapter 811: Chapter 807: How to Be a Qualified Parent

Nathan Caroule was initially worried about Richelle Dunn, but seeing that she was even more open-minded than him, he breathed a sigh of relief.

“There’s really no need to deal with these trifles; otherwise, when it comes to bigger issues, no one will believe the truth anymore if we keep debunking the small ones.”

Richelle nodded, “I think so too, which is why I told the legal department not to get involved. These people are just idle and trying to stir up trouble!”

Those who tried to slander Richelle probably grouped her with the so-called internet celebrities, thinking she needed to rely on public opinion and appease others.

But that’s not the case with Richelle.

If she wanted to, the fee she charged for a single surgery would easily be higher than a television appearance by an average celebrity.

Not to mention, her character is spotless.

Even if there were any issues, those influential figures, who hope to save their own lives, wouldn’t care whether she was a devil or an angel. As long as she could save them, she would be regarded as a top-notch healer.

Richelle didn’t care about those pointless attacks and slanders on the internet. She just went about her business.

Feeling like their punches were landing on cotton, soft and powerless, those attackers eventually ceased after two or three days.

Perhaps their interest waned upon seeing Richelle’s lack of reaction.

Or maybe the media platforms decided not to push the issue further, realizing they couldn’t create a storm out of it. Better not to offend the wealthiest family without making any gains to themselves.

Life resumed its usual hectic pace, and the time for the parent-child event quickly approached.

When Roy Lewis returned home the night before the event, the whole family was already asleep.

Richelle woke briefly as he came to bed, reminding him with sleepy eyes,

“Tomorrow at 3 p.m. is the children’s parents’ event. Try to make time to attend.”

Roy gently kissed her lips, “I’ll try my best, go back to sleep …”

Richelle fell back to sleep.

The next morning, Richelle and the children awoke to find that Roy had already left the house.

On the living room sofa lay the matching sportswear sets specially designed for the family of five, which Roy had arranged to have made.

“Mummy, will Daddy come this afternoon?”

The three children excitedly put on their matching clothes, and Tifanny looked at Richelle with anticipation in her eyes.

Although Richelle had been half-asleep last night, she still remembered Roy’s words.

“Daddy will try to arrange it, but it’s not certain.”

She gave the children a glimmer of hope but didn’t dare raise their expectations too high.

Tifanny was still a little disappointed, but fortunately, she had her two handsome brothers to accompany her, which made her feel more special compared to her classmates.

Richelle, worried that the children might feel let down, decided to ask Nathan Caroule to accompany her and the children to school when she left the Lewis Group.

The principal and head teacher knew Roy, so they were somewhat surprised to see Nathan instead.

“This is the children’s uncle. Their father is busy, and I’m afraid he can’t make it, so I asked their uncle to come and accompany the children.”

Just as Richelle was explaining the situation, the three children spotted their loved ones and ran towards them happily.

“Uncle Caroule, are you going to be our stand-in parent today?”

Although Daddy hadn’t come, Mummy and Uncle Caroule had, so the children were still delighted.

Richelle felt increasingly relieved, both for the children’s ability to adjust psychologically and for their understanding and consideration towards their parents and elders.

“That’s right, I’m here to be your servant and earn you a big victory today!”

The children giggled joyfully. “We knew Uncle Caroule would be great at sports, we’re sure of it!”

At 3 o’clock, the parent-child event officially began.

The first activity took place indoors.

Parents and children had to answer questions about each other to see if their answers matched.

The first question was about the child’s most favorite and least favorite fruit.

Richelle quickly wrote down the answers: Timmy’s favorite fruit is an orange and least favorite is a mango; Timothy’s favorite is grapes and least favorite is a mango; Tifanny’s favorite is watermelon and least favorite is a mango.

The children’s answers matched Richelle’s word for word.

The second question was about the parents’ preferences.

Please write down the parents’ favorite and least favorite food.

Richelle wrote down her preferences and Roy’s, and the answers matched the children’s exactly.

This activity aimed to help parents and children understand each other better and recognize the extent of their knowledge about one another.

There were a total of twenty questions: ten about the children and ten about the parents.

Once all the questions were answered, most parents and children barely reached the passing line.

Only Richelle and the three children had all their answers the same, meaning a perfect score.

Understanding reached one hundred percent.

The teacher specifically praised Richelle’s family, which led other parents to seek their advice.

“Dr. Dunn, our child is a bit rebellious right now and communication is difficult. How do you normally communicate with the children? Do they share their thoughts with you?”

Richelle responded honestly.

“Try to think about things from their perspective as much as possible. Don’t force them to conform to our ideas; respect their ideas and choices. Communication will become much simpler.”
