But later, I saw her chatting and laughing with Toph when she arrived home, and she instantly became guarded when she saw us… I don’t understand this child.”

Linda let out a sigh. Lately, she had been troubled by this situation. “Cordelia, I’ve tried many approaches, even humbling myself to please her… But why does she keep her distance? She’s my daughter! I didn’t abandon her willingly. If I could turn back time, I would trade my life for her safety…”
