NovelEnglishNina said, "But only Kane knows how to modify the robot. None of us have a clue, and he's not here right now. How are we going to
do it?"
Kane replied, "No worries. Let's assemble it first, and we'll modify it when Kane gets back."
"Alright then," Nina nodded in agreement.
Skyler brought over a large blanket and spread it out on the grass. Everyone then began to piece together the building blocks.
Kane was quietly focused on his blocks. Skyler sat beside him, occasionally glancing his way.
It was unlike William to have gone twenty minutes without speaking. My goodness, he was close to breaking his personal record. If
it weren't for his familiar face, one might have mistaken him for Kane.
Kane was a man of few words, especially when engrossed in a task, he was the epitof concentration. William, on the other
hand, was the restless type, always chatting, breaking into song, or even getting up to pace around and doing a few somersaults
on the ground.
In short, he was lively and couldn't sit still unless he was under the weather.

"William, why so silent today? You're not feeling sick, are you?" Nina asked.
Kane shook his head, "Nope, just focused on building with the blocks."
After saying that, he returned to his intense concentration on the task at hand.
Skyler scratched his head in confusion.
Darn, why the silence again? It was usually William who started the conversations.
Nina blinked and chuckled, "William, you're not as talkative today. You're acting a bit like Kane."
"He must be missing Kane. Those two are inseparable," Mira said with a laugh. "Only when Uncle Arnold returns does he ever leave
his side."
Kane inwardly broke into a sweat.
He was trying so hard to act like William.
Mimicking someone was no easy feat, particularly in front of those who knew you well.
Although he knew William like the back of his hand, their personalities were polar opposites. Old habits died hard, and change was
difficult. Worse, a poor imitation would only raise suspicions. The more you spoke, the more mistakes you would make. The more
you did, the more you slipped up. Sometimes silence was the best option.
"I... | threw the covers off last night and caught a bit of a cold. Feeling a bit dizzy, so | don't feel like talking much."
"That explains it," Skyler said, sticking out his tongue. He knew something was off. William only ever went silent when he wasn't
feeling well.
"You should pop a Vitamin C and drink plenty of water to boost your immune system."
"Will do. I'll take ssoon," Kane nodded.
The butler brought in a fruit platter. The Stirling family had a dietitian who tailored the healthiest food combinations for the kids,
including a daily selection of five different fruits.
Kane wasn't picky and would eat anything. William, however, was fussy about food and didn't like pears or dragon fruit...
Kane speared a piece of dragon fruit with a toothpick, about to eat it.

Skyler's voice cfrom beside him, "William, that's dragon fruit. You don't like that."
Kane internally panicked and had forgotten.
"I... I've got a cold today, and dragon fruit is high in Vitamin C, so | thought I'd have some."
"Oh," Skyler smiled. "I just wanted to make sure you didn't eat it by mistake and spit it out."
Kane said earnestly, "The dietitian mentioned it's not good for kids to be picky eaters. I'm trying to kick the habit and eat
everything."
Mira grinned, "I'm not picky at all. | love to eat everything."
Nina rolled her eyes at her, "That's because you're a foodie. It's all that eating that's slowing down your brain."
"Ugh, Aunt Aurelia won't leteat too much now. She says I've put on weight. The dietitian even made a diet plan forto lose
weight," Mira sighed dejectedly, a picture of sorrow.
Nina clicked her tongue, "If you get any heavier, you'll turn into a little piggy. Girls can't afford to be overweight, you know. Getting
fat can even stunt your growth. That's why Aunt Aurelia wants you to slim down."
