Justin stroked Cherry's hair and slowly answered, "Cherry, while your mom and I—and even your brothers—will never leave you to fend for yourself in the future, I hope you can have the ability to solve your problems with your own strength."
Cherry was stunned.
It was a rare occasion when Justin smiled. He said to Cherry, "What you guys are learning now may not be useful in the future—you may not even use some of these things your whole life—but they form a foundation of knowledge.
"You may be interested in gaming now, but it's impossible that you'll only play games all your life. I don't want you to end up as someone who can only look on helplessly when you develop an interest in other things in the future, unable to do anything due to a lack of foundation.
"Cherry, you still have a long life ahead of you. All the hard work you put in today will build your confidence in the future."
Justin looked at Cheryl after he spoke.
