69. A Supportive Mother And Her Ambitious Son

Later that night, Helene found Leonard in his brightly lit room, hunched over his desk, his concentration fixed on the pages of a thick mathematics textbook. It was well past midnight, and the rest of the house was quiet, enveloped in the tranquility of the late-night hours.

Helene gently pushed the half-opened door, revealing her silhouette against the faint light spilling from the hallway. Concern etched on her face, she walked closer to him and spoke softly, "Leonard, my dear, why are you still up at this hour? The night has grown late, and you need your rest."

Leonard looked up from his calculations, his eyes shining with a mixture of excitement and determination. "Mom," he replied earnestly, "I'm preparing for the mathematics competition at school. I'm the one representing our school, and I want to make everyone proud."

His mother's brows furrowed as she considered his words. She admired her son's passion for academics, but she also knew the importance of a good night's sleep.
