    Linda looked at her daughter, holding her breath nervously, almost whispering, “What… What did you


    call us?”


    “Testing me, huh?” Lina held back her tears, wanting to lighten the somber atmosphere. She smiled


    and said, “Of course it’s mom and dad! Mom, you don’t still see me as a one-year-old, do you?”


    Linda stared nkly before tears suddenly streamed down her face.


    “C-Can you call me one more time?”


    Lina’s voice choked as she softly called out, “Mom.”


    “I want to hear it again…”


    “Mom!”


    Linda opened her arms and tightly embraced her daughter, crying heartbrokenly.


    Nichs also sniffled, holding back his tears, and approached to embrace his wife and daughter.


    “Alright, stop crying.” He smiled through tears. “This is a happy moment! Lina will call us mom and dad


    from now on… We’ll get to hear it every day!”


    Linda asked tearfully, “Nichs, could it be that I’ve taken too much medication and started


    hallucinating?”


    “Mom, the doctor said your dosage has already been halved,” Lina gently said, holding Linda’s hand.


    “Maybe you can stop taking the medication after persevering for a bit longer… I’ll be by your side, and

    On his way home, Zuko sneezed twice and felt his ears getting hot. As he reached the doorstep, a


    sudden cool gust of wind made him shudder involuntarily.


    It was strange!


    He had always been healthy, and it was summertime. How could he feel chills?


    As he thought of Nichs’ icy gaze from earlier, he instantly understood what was going on. He shook


    his head helplessly, chuckling to himself. As he stepped into the living room, he was startled to find


    three pairs of eyes staring at him!


    “Uh…” Zuko was taken aback. “Mom, dad, Toph, you’re… still awake?”

    However, Cordelia and Zephyr seemed to have been struck by something tonight. They had made rose


    jelly dessert for ate-night snack and were sitting side by side at the table, happily enjoying a bowl

    Zuko smiled, realizing he was a bit hungry. He wanted to see if there was a bowl for him, but Toph

    Zuko was rendered speechless.


    “Zuko, are you hungry?” Zephyr finally regained his senses. “Wendy made some snacks for you.


    They’re in the kitchen. Go eat!”


    “Dad, I want dessert…”


    “What dessert?” Zephyr red. “Do I look like dessert to you?”


    Zuko restrained his temper and turned to the kitchen to find his snacks.


    Tophughed so hard that his face turned red.
