Cordelia’s heart lurched. “Carter… tell me properly, how’s mom?”

“Mom hasn’t been feeling well the past two months. I don’t know what illness it is in particular…” Carter’s voice wavered. “Dad said that you were giving birth, so he didn’t let me tell you. Cordelia, can you come?”

Cordelia bit her lips. Fear engulfed her like a monster with a wide, bloodied mouth.

Zephyr hugged her and took the phone, calmly telling Carter they would be back in Southeast Aciatic soon.

“Darling…” Cordelia was at a loss.

She had just been thinking about the hardship in the past, not expecting that the shadow those days left could never be wiped away.

“Don’t worry,” Zephyr comforted her softly. “Dad’s a good doctor. He’ll take good care of mom. I guess Carter’s calling because he’s so young and gets too nervous. It’s always been you when mom was sick in the past. Now that you aren’t around, he’s lost his support.”

Cordelia’s eyes were rimmed red with glistening tears.

Zephyr hugged her, feeling his heart ache for her. He knew that no amount of comfort or coaxing would work. She would only be soothed when she was taken back to Southeast Aciatic for a visit personally as soon as possible.

Two days later, Cordelia and Zephyr arrived at the airport with Zuko.
