Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1498

"Exactly," Asher replied, lifting his chin proudly.

Nathaniel smiled and praised, "That's a great idea. Immortal jellyfish are beautiful. That's very creative of you."

Despite the compliment, Asher snorted dismissively.

"Don't get too excited. I'm not that easy to please."

Nathaniel knew how cunning Asher could be.

After all, he was an exact copy of Elliot.

Hence, he took the plan more seriously.

"You want to build an artificial glacier and ice lake in the left section of the aquarium to house penguins, crocodiles, and polar bears?"

Nathaniel's lips twitched as he looked up at him.

Asher nodded confidently.

Nathaniel had to gently explain, "Asher, polar bears aren't marine animals. They don't really belong in an aquarium. Also, crocodiles can only survive in temperatures around twenty degrees Celsius. The glacier would be too cold for them. They wouldn't survive such extreme temperatures. Meanwhile, penguins are the least aggressive of these animals, they wouldn't last more than a few days if they were in the same exhibit as polar bears."

Asher frowned, purposely making it hard for Nathaniel.

"Whether they survive or not is your problem. You said the aquarium was my gift to do with as I please. Now you're giving so many excuses? Are you going to go back on your word?"

Nathaniel could not argue and reluctantly agreed, "Okay, I'll do my best to make this work."

Asher was finally satisfied, saying, "Good, there's more."

Nathaniel took a deep breath and continued reading carefully.

"I don't want your best. I want you to do it."

Asher lifted his small head and glanced at the IV drip beside him, his tone calm but piercing.

"Nathaniel, I should be in kindergarten like Adora and the other kids, but because of what you did, I'm stuck in a ward."

He looked down at his hand, where the IV needle was inserted. These past years, my hands have been poked so many times they're covered in scars. When there's no more available spot, they switch to my arms and elbows. I've gotten used to the constant pain. The tiny virus in my body keeps me from running around like Adora. Even a short walk exhausts me… and all of this is because of you."

His childlike voice was indifferent, but every word struck Nathaniel's heart, leaving it shattered and bleeding.

Each sentence was a dagger, twisting painfully in his chest.

Overwhelmed by guilt, Nathaniel's face turned pale, and his eyes reddened.
