Chapter 25: Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Monstrous IQ Mason was keenly aware of her reaction and was a little surprised. If it were someone else, they would have rushed to curry favor with their young master when they knew that their young master had such a distinguished status. However, this Ms.

Armstrong seemed to only be surprised and did not overreact. She quickly recovered. He was a little puzzled. Did she not know what this identity meant? Although he was puzzled, he did not want to appear like he was showing off. Having been in the business world for a long time, he knew that they had to keep a low profile. At this time, Emily had already finished inserting the needles. She looked carefully for a while to make sure that each needle was correct. She breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

“It’s done. Don’t touch the needles on his back. I’ll come in half an hour to remove them.”

Emily smiled gracefully and said to Mason. Then, she ordered the two children, “Sofia, come with Mommy to prepare the medicine. Ethan, you stay here and watch the time, call Mommy when it is time.” The two children nodded obediently. She held Sofia’s soft little hand and left the bedroom.

Ethan watched them leave. After that, he went to the hall.

When he came in, he had a stopwatch and a toy in his hand.

Ethan put the stopwatch on the bedside table and sat on the chair next to him.

He held the ten-a-side Rubik’s Cube in his hand and played with it, not talking to anyone.

His speed was very fast, and the colors of the Rubik’s Cube moved in a blur. Lucas, who was lying on the bed, was also a little bored, so he looked around and saw the little fellow’s movements. He narrowed his eyes and took a closer look. The speed of a child was astonishing. It looked like Ethan was mixing the sides randomly, but actually, he moved in a calculated manner, each move highly exact. Mason’s eyes were already wide open, and he was dumbstruck. Even adults might not be able to completely restore the complete chaos of the ten-a-side Rubik’s Cube.

This kid, in three minutes, had completely solved it. What kind of monstrous IQ was this! Ethan didn’t notice at all. He smiled and put the Rubik’s Cube aside. In his opinion, this was nothing. It wasn’t something to be surprised about. Lucas asked him, “How long have you been playing this for?” Ethan thought about it and replied calmly, “A few months.” Oh? Lucas was slightly shocked. “Who taught you this?” Ethan was a little confused. He looked at him and said, “Do you need someone to teach you this?” “It’s just a toy. I played with it a few days and I could put it back.” Mason did not hide his surprise. Was this kid for real?

“Don’t... don’t you need to learn some sort of technique?”

He had never been able to solve puzzles like the Rubik’s Cube. Ethan shrugged and said, “As long as you find the pattern it’s easy. There is no need for any techniques.” After saying that, he added, “My sister knows how to do it too.” Mason suddenly felt a little ashamed. He couldn’t compare to a pair of 5-year-olds? Lucas felt that this child was very different from other children. He seemed to be too precocious and wise. Hy He did not expect to meet such an interesting child here. He could not help but smile and continue to chat with Ethan. “If you feel that the Rubik’s Cube is boring, you can play with something else more difficult. For example, Lego, building blocks, and jigsaw puzzles.” Ethan was also bored, so he simply chatted with Lucas to kill time.

He curled his lips. “I know all the simple ones. I have also done more difficult puzzles. My godmother gave me a 10,000 piece puzzle of the famous painting ‘Qingming River Diagram’ which I put together.” Mason had heard that the ‘Qingming River Diagram’ was a very difficult puzzle. He had actually tried it before himself. “What about Lego? Have you played with that before?” Lucas raised his eyebrows and asked him.

Ethan puffed up his cheeks and shook his head.

“Don’t you want to play? Lego is very interesting.” Mason asked curiously. With Ethan’s IQ, Mason guessed that he would be very good at Lego.

“I want to, but Lego is very expensive. My mommy works very hard to support our family. We don’t have any extra money for that.” Ethan sighed. He felt sorry that he couldn’t play with Lego. He was also worried about his family’s financial situation.

Lucas and Mason were speechless. The whole room was silent. They couldn’t help but look at the house in front of them.

Although the decoration was warm and cozy, nothing was new. Since they entered the house, they had not seen any luxury items. The furniture was also just functional, obviously nothing expensive. When they came up, they had climbed the stairs, and there was no elevator. There were also luxurious residential buildings in the city. If Ms. Armstrong and her family chose to live here, it was obvious their finances were tight. Mason couldn’t bear it, but it was a poor environment to raise such smart children.

If they were properly nurtured, they would definitely do great things. Lucas’ heart softened, and he couldn’t help but say to Ethan, “Next time, when we meet again, I’ll bring you a Lego set.” Mason looked at his young master curiously and then looked away.

Ethan’s eyes lit up. That was the Lego he had wanted for a long time! But he thought about it and shook his head. “Mommy said that we can’t accept gifts from others.”
