Cordelia had yet to breastfeed as she had just given birth. She was hurting from her swollen breasts.
The doctor carried Zuko to her. It was a baby’s instinct to drink milk. She would feel less uncomfortable after she
breastfed.
However, it failed after a few attempts.
Newborn babies were too weak. Zuko kept crying from hunger, worrying Cordelia.
“Maybe…” Zephyr licked his lips. “I should help our son?”
“What?” Cordelia was stunned.
They were the only ones in the ward. He placed their son in the cradle while he sat before his wife and removed her
shirt.
Cordelia was shocked. “What are you doing?!”

“Zen…”
Cordelia was flushing—even her ears were red.
However, that sounded like a legitimate solution. They could not just let the baby keep crying.
“Wifey, I’m not trying to take advantage of you!” Zephyr explained with intention. “I-I just want to feed our son…”
Of course, it had been a long time since he last touched her. Thus, he had his intentions of doing it…
Cordelia removed her shirt with her eyes looking down. “Okay, do it quickly…”
Zephyr smirked mischievously.
As he was inching closer, someone knocked on the door.
His expression changed. Janine came in the next second, holding something.
She was stunned when she saw what Zephyr was doing. “W-What are you doing?”
Cordelia looked away shyly.
However, he remained calm. “My son can’t drink her milk, so I…”
The new Acmes that Janine had bought came in handy as she slammed his back.
“Zen!” She glared at him. “Don’t you know there’s something called the breast pump in the world?”
Cordelia could not stop laughing. She got the breast pump from Janine.
Soon, Zuko fell asleep after being fed.
Cordelia’s milk was plenty, and it was of good quality. She stored the leftover milk properly. They would pour it into
the milk bottle and heat it up before feeding Zuko at night.
Zephyr slept next to them.
As soon as the baby cried, he would wake up before Cordelia did.
Heating up the milk, feeding, burping the baby, getting him to sleep… He did it clumsily at first. Their son had such

“Practice makes perfect.” He soon mastered it while Cordelia could sleep through the night.
…
Zephyr had been taking care of Zuko throughout the two days.
He was growing and did not look as ugly as when he was born. He still had some jaundice, but it subsided after
being under the sun.
Zephyr loved him and would smile at him daily, teaching him to call him “daddy”.
“Daddy, daddy… Say ‘daddy, darling…”
Zuko was confused.
‘Hmm? This is strange. Why does this man keep calling me “Daddy”?’
“Hubby!” Cordelia thought he was being silly. “He’s so young. He’s just drinking and sleeping every day. How would
he know what you’re talking about?”
Zephyr smirked. He had to train him young.
Moreover, he was a little selfish. He hoped that his darling son’s first word would be “daddy”.
