Zuko hesitated, unsure of what to say. In fact, Lena had returned last night and had been waiting outside the delivery room. After learning that Lina and the baby were safe, she quietly left.Lina had just given birth, and her incision had not healed yet. The doctor had advised against emotional fluctuations at this time to avoid affecting her recovery. As such, Zuko smiled and said, "Don't worry. Lenny's been concerned about you.""Really..." Lina sounded a bit disappointed. "She's concerned about me but hasn't replied to any of my messages?""Didn't Chris say that the signal is poor in the mountainous area? Even if she replied, you might not receive it.""Oh," Lina said, lowering her gaze. She was exhausted after giving birth and just wanted to get some rest.Zuko kissed her forehead and whispered, "Rest well. I'll be here with you and the baby."Lina closed her eyes, feeling at ease.She did not know how long she had slept, but she suddenly heard a baby's cries. Her eyelids f

Zuko forced back a laugh. "Uh, dad… Actually, mom isn't entirely wrong...""Hmm?"Zuko began a serious explanation. "You really can't breathe directly before a newborn. She's still so tiny, and what you breathe out is carbon dioxide, while she needs fresh oxygen, so...""You ungrateful brat!" Zephyr finally used his mother's words against his son.From then on, though, Zephyr developed a talent for holding his breath. When facing his granddaughter, he could not only stop breathing but also maintain a loving and radiant smile simultaneously.The most wonderful part was that he could hold his breath while he cradled his granddaughter until she fell asleep. Afterward, he'd gently put her in her crib and release a long breath.Toph watched in amazement and whispered to Zuko, "Dad's skills are good enough for him to enter an ancient tomb! He doesn't even need to breathe!"Before Zuko could laugh, they saw Zephyr glare at them.No living creature was allowed to make any noise while t

Lena giggled.It seemed to possess some kind of magic as it instantly quieted Elijah down.Elijah watched her in silence. There seemed to be a resemblance to someone in the way her eyes looked, like a familiar acquaintance. The strange feeling he had for her increased a little more.Elijah said in a low voice, "Lena, I've resigned."Lena nodded. "I just heard in the room. Are you really not planning to continue at the Thompson Group?""I have my own things to do.""Alright." Lena shrugged."You seem... not to care whether I stay at the Thompson Group?""Why should I care?" Lena looked at him sideways. "As long as you don't go against Lina, you can be anywhere. But if you dare to pick on the Thompsons, I'll bring you back from the ends of the earth."Elijah was at a loss for words.Originally, he wanted to ask Lena if she would be willing to go to his family's company and work with him. After all, he needed help now. Instead of looking for someone else outside, it would be bet

Lena lowered her head and remained silent, a faint blush creeping onto her face.Persephone had fallen asleep, so Zephyr and Cordelia invited Nicholas and Linda to hang out elsewhere.Zuko stretched, preparing to go to his study to deal with some work.Chris patted his shoulder and gave him a signal with his eyes."What's up?" "I need a favor." Chris grinned. "Let's talk in your study.""But..." Zuko's gaze turned to Lena.Lena chuckled. "I'll go chat with Pamym for a bit.""Something's… not quite right with you two." Zuko immediately noticed the issue. "Chris, is what you're going to talk to me about the same as what Lena will discuss with my wife?""Get over here!" Chris grabbed and dragged him into the study.Lena knocked on the door.Lina had just woken up and greeted her with exceptional joy."Sis, don't move!" Lena hurriedly pressed her down. "You have a surgical wound!""It's healed already!" Lina smiled wryly. "It's been a month. Can't I move a bit?""I've had wo

Before going to meet Chris' parents, Lena had already heard Lina's introduction. Chris' father was Marco Hamerton—not particularly outstanding among the Hamerton descendants, but far from mediocre.Marco was knowledgeable and gentlemanly. He had little interest in business and had dedicated his life to archaeological research. He was also an honorary professor in the Ancient Literature Department at the University of Centrolis.His wife, Fleur Warnock, also had quite a background. The Warnocks were a prominent military family, with ancestors stationed on the border that continued to this day. Many members of the Warnocks held important positions in the military, especially in border areas. Fleur's family played a significant role in maintaining peace on the border.On their way to the meeting, Chris said, "Lenny, my mom's been pampered since childhood. Besides, my grandfather has several sons, but she's his only daughter. As such, she's been doted on. Her temper is a bit... Well, it
