Despite the complaints, Zuko couldn't bear the thought of their daughter sleeping in a separate room. It was his
idea to bring the crib into their bedroom.
He gently approached, took their baby girl from Lina's arms, and began soothing her with tender words.
"Honey, you should go to sleep first. I'll hold her for a while," he said.
Lina's eyes glistened with tenderness.
Even before Persephone was born, Lina had read many posts about women's challenges after childbirth on
different websites. Some described husbands who offered little help, acting like absent parents. Others talked about
widow-style parenting, where women cared for their children and husbands, leaving themselves exhausted.
Zuko, however, was different.

tasks. He handled diaper changes, prepared bottles, washed them, and even took part in massages and skin-to-skin
contact. Despite having caregivers, he remained hands-on.
As Persephone grew, he made time for her every day, even amid his busy work schedule. He carefully selected her
tiny clothes and socks, showing more detail-oriented care than when signing contracts.
His devotion to Persephone didn't mean neglecting his wife. He became even more caring and attentive, ensuring
Lina didn't have to wake up at night. Although the maid brought soups and beverages, he tasted them before
letting her drink to ensure they suited her taste.
Sometimes, when Persephone cried at night, it was Zuko who would soothe and carry her around the room.
Lina watched him, determined yet fatigued, and felt a mix of heartache and happiness. She realized she had
married the right person.
"Honey..." Lina's voice quivered slightly. "You go rest. I'll take her."
"Are you trying to take her away from me too?" Zuko teased with a gentle smile. "I don't get to see my precious
during the day, so I cherish the moments we have together at night. Can you not be so cruel?"
Lina laughed and playfully punched him.
Gradually, Persephone's cries subsided. After a yawn, she peacefully fell asleep again in Zuko's arms.
In the quiet room, Zuko approached the crib with care. Persephone was like a ticking time bomb now. Putting her
down was a delicate task, requiring the right moment, angle, and force.
He adjusted his posture, ready to put her down when Lina's phone suddenly buzzed.
Persephone stretched her tiny hands and feet and smacked her lips a couple of times.
Quickly, Zuko patted her to keep her calm.

"Is it Lena again?" he asked with a wry smile. "Reply to her. Tell her that she's the culprit if I can't put down Sephy
tonight!"
"No..." Lina's expression changed slightly.
Zuko paused. "What happened?"
Lina hesitated but handed her phone to him.
The message was from her assistant.
Renee was on a hunger strike in prison, showing a stubborn attitude, and insisting on seeing Lina. The prison had no
choice but to contact Lina's assistant.
"She wants to commit suicide?" Zuko looked indifferent. "Hah, this isn't the first time she's playing this trick!"
"But if she wants to see me, there may be something important she wants to discuss, right?"
Zuko wondered. "If you want to go, I'll go with you. I'd like to see what tricks she can pull!"
