Lina gave him a gentle nudge. "I know."
"I really love you."
Her grin grew even brighter. "I know!"
"Honey, I..." Zuko wanted to say something even more affectionate, but Lena knocked on the door.
"Lina!"
Zuko took a deep breath with a helpless expression.
Lina smiled and let Lena in, but she noticed a few people accompanying Lena.
"Mr. Chriss?"
Elijah nodded, and Kasey also greeted them warmly.
Nala hopped around Lina's bedside. "Where's the little baby?"
"Hey, Nala!" Elijah hurriedly stopped her.
"It's okay." Lina smiled and patiently explained to Nala, "The baby is in the baby room next door. But she's asleep right now. How about you play with her when she wakes up?"
Nala clapped her hands excitedly and ran over to Lena.
Elijah looked somewhat helpless and frowned, chiding Kasey in a hushed tone, "I told you not to bring her along. Look, she's just causing trouble!"
"What's the harm in that?" Zuko said warmly, "It's in a child's nature! Mr. Chriss, I have a daughter now too, and I wouldn't want to see anyone mistreat their daughter!"
The playful Nala made a face at her father and hid behind Kasey and Lena.
Elijah chuckled and had to surrender. He handed over a congratulatory gift and also his resignation.
"This is..." Zuko and Lina exchanged glances in slight surprise.
