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! nity 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?"

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 However, his duties had soon been replaced by a group of nannies hired by the family.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.
When Zuko went to visit his parents that particular day, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Zephyr was on the floor dressed in a tiger costume, allowing his granddaughter to ride on his back. He crawled
forward and mimicked a tiger, entertaining her with playful, growling sounds.
Cordelia was on the side, cheering them on and ensuring Persephone did not fall off.
Zephyr was panting with exhaustion but still wearing a joyful smile. He wanted to stand up, but Persephone was in
high spirits and refused to allow it. He cheerfully lay back down, ready for another round of "adventures" with his
granddaughter on his back.
While Zuko was in shock, Toph came running over dressed as a bear.
Toph was about to put on the bear headgear when he suddenly noticed Zuko. He grinned and said, "Bro, you're
back!"
"What's all this?"
"Our parents wanted to make the best of their time with their granddaughter and asked me to dress up as a bear
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand play 'hunting' with her!"
"Uh..."
"Sephy is the hunter, I'm the bear, and she's supposed to 'shoot' me."
Zuko was exasperated. This was a treatment he had never enjoyed when he was younger.
Toph patted him. "Never seen our dad like this, eh?"
Zuko had a wry smile. Who would have thought that his parents, who used to be strict and dignified, had turned into
big kids now just to entertain their grandchild?
Certainly, his precious daughter would not be going home with him today, either. She definitely preferred her
playful grandparents and Toph to her boring old father.
"Bro, what are you thinking?"
"Nothing," Zuko replied lightly. "Just let our parents know that I'm heading back. There are some things I need to
handle at the company."
"Oh." Toph nodded. "By the way, have you heard that Elijah Chriss has been secretly searching for someone
recently?"
