Toph, known for his carefree personality, felt sentimental today, appreciating a parent’s love and effort.
…
Unaware of the noises outside, the people in the room remained focused.
After changing into two outfits, Lina stared at Zuko, her heart heavy with a question. Before she could ask, he
preemptively handed her his phone.
Lina froze, unsure of what to make of the gesture.
Zuko ruffled her hair, wearing an indulgent smile. “I know you want to call your parents.”
“You…”
“Use my phone.” Zuko chuckled. “I didn’t want them to worry, so I didn’t tell them about your disappearance. When

unexpectedly, you sent a signal at that very moment.”
Lina silently gazed at him, her emotions intertwining within her.
“If you use my phone to call, it will prove that we’re together, and they can rest assured.”
“Okay.”
“By the way, Melvin was arrested, but he still has some influence outside,” Zuko explained, saving a landline
number on the phone. “This is the phone in the guest room at home. The internal line is more secure and won’t be
monitored. For safety reasons, it’s better to call this number.”
Grateful for his thoughtfulness, Lina tiptoed and gently kissed his cheek.

Lina’s heart skipped a beat. “Dave? Is that you?”
There was a brief silence before a sudden shout, “Sis!?”
“Dad, Mom! Come quickly! It’s… it’s Lina! It’s Lina!”
Lina froze before bursting into laughter.
She heard the commotion through the phone—Dave’s loud voice, Jesse and Melissa’s eager attempts to grab the
phone.
The three of them competed to speak to Lina, prompting Dave to shout, “Stop fighting! Let’s put the call on
speaker!”

The previous clamor transformed into shaky voices expressing concern and greetings.
“Lina, where have you been these past few days?”
“Yeah, our parents were so worried about you, you know?
“Sis, where are you now? Mom was so worried that her pants were almost on fire when you didn’t answer her
calls!”
“Brat, only liars’ pants catch fire. I’m your mother!”
Lina laughed as she listened, tears streaming down her face.
She took deep breaths and fought to contain her welling tears and softly called out, “Dad, mom!”
The words came naturally and with genuine emotion, but they seemed like a mocking taunt from destiny to Linda’s
ears.
Linda’s expression shifted, and her fingers involuntarily clenched, digging into her flesh with force.
