Elijah and Kasey had never been so close since their marriage.
"Elijah, I beg you..." Kasey grabbed his clothes. "I can't lose Nala. I want her to live well. I know you have many grievances about our marriage, and I've done things that embarrassed you. But as long as you find your brother and he goes for testing, Nala will have a glimmer of hope, right?
"As long as there's even a glimmer of hope, I won't give up!
"Elijah, have some pity on me! Πity me as a mother, okay?"
Kasey was sobbing, and Elijah found it hard to breathe, feeling like his heart was being shredded.
"With your family's influence, finding someone should not be difficult! If not, my father can also help."
Elijah remained silent for a long time. He then looked into her eyes and said softly, "Kasey… It's... It's not my brother."
"What?"
"That illegitimate child back then was a girl. In other words... Nala really has an aunt!"

Lately, Zuko had been feeling a bit depressed.
His daughter was nearly a year old, but he, as a father, had not been too involved with her.
When Persephone was little, he had taken care of her in the middle of the night, feeding her, changing diapers, and all those tasks. However, his duties had soon been replaced by a group of nannies hired by the family.
For the sake of child care, Cordelia had even brought in five to six people from the Hamertons. At the same time, Nicholas and Linda had dispatched several experienced and loyal servants from the Thompsons to Zest Garden.
With over ten people taking care of one child, including grandparents who came by occasionally, even Lina felt incredibly relaxed as a new mother.
Furthermore, Cordelia and Zephyr doted on Persephone. They frequently picked her up and took her to Zen Residence.
