Cordelia's gaze darkened instantly. Zephyr patted her shoulder and gave her a subtle glance.

"Your mom didn't sleep well last night, so I'm taking her back to rest first," Zephyr said softly. "Zuko, take care of

Pammy."

"Don't worry!"

"Nicholas, Linda, join us?" Zephyr smiled. "It's been a while since we've all gathered. Let's go to my place for a

drink!"

Nicholas and Linda readily agreed.

Melissa gave Lina advice for quite some time before Jesse and Dave pulled her away. When leaving, she looked

back with lingering worry.

"Mom, I'm fine." Lina smiled. "You and dad, though, need to take good care of yourselves. After all, you'll have to

help me take care of the baby in the future!"

"Of course, of course!" Melissa regained her vigor.

In reality, she hoped Lina would have more children. Having experienced the pains of childbirth herself, however,

she did not want her daughter to go through it again, so it was a bit of a dilemma...

Now that most people had left, the room fell quiet again.

Zuko and Lina exchanged smiles. He touched her yet-to-show baby bump as if he could feel the growing life inside.

He felt a sudden urge to tear up.

"Hey, bro, isn't it a bit early to cry now?" Toph teased him. "You'll have plenty of time for tears when my nephew's

born!"

"What are you saying?!" Zuko looked at him disdainfully.

"Didn't dad say you nearly made him cry when you were just born? And when you first learned to walk, you sat on

his face and gave him a—"

"Toph! Get out of here!"

"Hahaha!"

Laughter once again filled the room.

However, Lena quietly left the room. She looked aloof, different from the busy and engaged person she had been

earlier.

Chris followed her, staying by her side until they reached the end of the corridor.

"Lenny, what's wrong?"

"Nothing." Lena smiled, but her eyes seemed a bit red.

Chris hugged her with concern. He knew she was happy for Lina, but she did not know how to express it. Just like

earlier, while everyone in the room was chattering and celebrating, she remained silent, busying herself for Lina.

When Lina did not need her, she quietly stepped aside. When Lina needed her, she was willing to go to any length

to help.

Sometimes, Chris found this rather perplexing.

He smiled, patted her back, and said softly, "If you don't go in, Renee might think you're scared of her."

"What?"

"Aren't you coming out because she's in there?"

Lena lowered her head slightly. She had to admit that Chris was pretty accurate in reading people.

She avoided Renee now whenever possible, but it was not because she was scared.

"Chris, I'm not scared of her," Lena said in a low voice. "Lina is pregnant now. I'll stay away from Renee as much as

I can. I don't want Lina to worry about us while she's pregnant. She should rest well now so she can give birth to a

healthy baby."

"You're quite silly." Chris lightly knocked her forehead. "Do you think avoiding her can solve all the problems?"

Lena looked at him in silence.

"Let me ask you." Chris' voice turned serious. "If you're on a battlefield and you're avoiding the enemy, does that

mean they won't try to kill you?"
