Lina sighed and looked at Fleur. "Aunt, you..."
"I'm okay," Fleur managed to force a smile, even though she appeared quite unwell. She straightened up, wrapping
her shawl around herself.
"Oh, that child..." A glint appeared in her eyes.
Only after she mentioned it did everyone notice the wound on Alexander's head.
Nala rushed out immediately, her distress evident as she saw blood dripping from his head. She hugged him tightly,
reluctant to let go.
"It doesn't hurt, really!" It was the first time so many people had shown Alexander care, especially a princess

"Get Alexander to the hospital and use my car," Harold chimed in as he approached.
"Take him to the Hamertons' joint hospital," Zuko said, "I'm calling the doctor now. Make sure his wound is tended to
and conduct a thorough check-up."
"I'm going with him!" Nala cried out like a baby, still clinging to Alexander. "Brother, I'm going to the hospital with

a few steps, he turned back, surprised to see them.
"Mister and Madam Chriss?"
"Hello, Dr. Sheridan," Elijah greeted, shaking his hand.
When Nala returned safely, they had brought her to the joint hospital for a comprehensive check-up. Dr. Sheridan
was in charge of her care.
"Why are you here? Is your daughter here too?"
Elijah pointed toward the ward.
Dr. Sheridan adjusted his glasses, and his expression changed subtly.
