Toph recounted everything from the beginning, causing Zuko to squint slightly. “So, you’re saying you took Pammy’s
mug?”
“Yes, I took it without anyone noticing, and I made sure to handle it carefully. The sample on it is definitely hers,”
Toph confirmed.
“And then you sent the sample along with Uncle Nicholas’?” inquired Zuko.
“Yes!” Toph raised an eyebrow. “Getting his sample was easy. I sent it to our hospital, keeping everything within our
control!”
Zuko contemplated for a moment. “You mentioned visiting Pammy at the hospital. Did she make any calls while she
was there?”
Toph had a sudden realization. “Hmm? Was she calling someone in the hospital during her illness?”
Zuko nodded, his eyes filled with depth. “We can’t jump to conclusions before we find out the truth. Besides, she
was adopted before returning. It’s possible she was calling her adoptive mother out of habit.”
“You’re always so cautious, bro!” Toph stretched his body and spoke casually. “What more is there to find out? The
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttruth is right in front of us!”
“Our father taught us to be thorough, didn’t he?” Zuko stated matter-of-factly.
“Hehe… You take everything our father says so seriously!” Toph grinned, leaning closer to Zuko. “Did he also teach
you to hide your true identity and pursue a romantic relationship?”
“You!” Zuko snarled.
“Bro, where are you guys now? Have you done anything other than kissing her?” Toph teasingly asked.
“Toph Hamerton!” Zuko thundered.
Soon, sounds of chaos erupted from Toph’s room.
The maids giggled while standing on the stairs. Wendy, who had raised the brothers, couldn’t help but feel
sympathy for Toph.
“Zuko always hits Toph whenever he’s back. He’s merciless… How will Toph find a wife if he breaks him!?”
“Don’t worry, Wendy!” someone said while smiling. “Toph has been close with the Thompson princess lately. They’re
perfect for each other!”
Zuko walked out of the room while they continued their discussion. He coolly adjusted his collar and sleeves as he
descended the stairs.
The servants, who had been smiling moments ago, quickly put on respectful expressions and greeted him, saying,
“Sir!”
They then resumed their tasks.
As Zuko made his way down, he could hear Toph groaning intermittently from the room.
Pursing his lips, Zuko smiled and headed straight to his parents.
Cordelia was seated next to the floor-to-ceiling window, sipping tea and engrossed in a book. Zephyr sat beside her,
feeding her slices of orange and gazing at her with an affectionate smile.
Cordelia turned around and rewarded Zephyr with a gentle caress on his face, her own smile warm and tender.
While watching their intimate moment, Zuko’s mind drifted to a certain someone. He couldn’t help but recall Lina
burying her blushing cheeks in his embrace, her sweet fragrance, and her pout when she was jealous.
A pang of longing gripped Zuko’s heart. He wished Lina were by his side at that moment.
“Zuko?” Cordelia exclaimed, pleasantly surprised to see her son standing at the door. She pushed the slice of
orange Zephyr had offered aside and beckoned him with a bright smile. “When did you come home, son? Come
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhere!”
Zuko smiled and swiftly approached his mother. Taking a seat, he glanced at his father expectantly.
“Why are you frozen?” Cordelia nudged Zephyr playfully. “Our son wants to have a slice of orange. Feed him! Didn’t
you already peel it?”
Zephyr’s expression darkened, but he reluctantly fed the slice of orange to his son. “You’re a grown man, yet you
want your father to feed you!”
Zuko couldn’t help but feel smug, adding fuel to the fire. “Look, mom. Dad is complaining about me again!”
“You b*satard! Zephyr was complaining but placed the peeled orange on the transparent plate as he spoke. “Eat
more if you like. They’re flown from Southeast Aciatic this morning!”
Zuko smiled. He sat between his parents and grabbed their arms as if he were back when he was young and worry-
free.
“Did you just return today?” asked Zephyr
Zuko nodded. “I went to Toph. I’m sorry for not having greeted my parents first!”
Zephyr and Cordelia looked at each other and smiled. They knew he had not returned just to visit them. There must
be something else.
