Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Toph had a slightly red face from drinking. He danced and laughed with the Baker men, who were also dressed in traditional kilts.

Zuko's eyes widened in surprise. The Baker kids had studied in Zkotland and were familiar with the local customs. In Zkotland, men wore kilts characterized by large tartan patterns in bright colors. With the voluminous pleats, Toph became the most eye-catching figure at the entire wedding! While this was normal in Zkotland, it seemed unconventional to the other guests.

Zuko lowered his head, trying to avoid the situation and have someone take Toph away quickly "Bro, don't | look good in this outfit?" Toph laughed carefreely. "Stand right there! I'm about to play a bagpipe tune for youl" "Nol" Zuko gestured hastily.

Toph looked disappointed. "Zuko, why not?” "Well... Oh, this is your reserved act! What will you do later if you perform all your acts now?" Toph realized the point and smiled again, continuing to have fun with everyone Zuko smiled too, relieved that Renee wasn't there to see Toph like this. Renee had been taking care of Linda and Nicholas all the time, knowing that Lina might not handle everything perfectly today.

"Good girl, you don't have to stay with us!” Linda patted her hand. "Go hang out with Toph! Look how crazy he is!" Renee smiled gently and shook her head. "Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda, I'm taking care of you today on behalf of Lina. Oh, and also Uncle Jesse and Aunt Melissa. You four are my biggest task today!” Linda looked at her affectionately and patted her small face. After spending so much time together, there was hardly any emotional difference between Renee and her own daughter.

"ls your mother feeling well?" Linda inquired.

"Yes, everything is fine," Renee replied with a nod. "There are just too many people today, and she couldn't handle it, so she didn't come. She misses Lina a lot, though. She even asked me to wish her a happy wedding!" Cheers erupted from nearby as Lina stood in front of a row of people, back tured, and tossed the bouquet into the air The playful group eagerly rushed forward to catch the bouquet! Renee watched and laughed. She couldn't see who caught the bouquet, but someone stumbled while trying to catch it, setting off a chain reaction as others fell like a stack of dominoes.

The joyous peals of laughter echoed in the clear blue sky.

Early the next morning, sunlight streamed through the window, casting warm hues in the bridal room Inside, clothes were scattered on the floor, and the couple slept on the bed in each other's arms. The sweet romance from the previous night had continued into the present moment Zuko moved and slowly opened his eyes, fully awake. He looked at Lina in his arms, her shoulders still exposed. Carefully, he pulled the blanket over her and gently kissed her forehead, smiling contentedly.

Echoes of her pleas from the previous night seemed to linger in his ears.

Zuko blushed with a smirk. Actually, he wanted to let her off the hook, too. As much as his mind wanted that, his body was honest in its defiance. It was not his brain that controlled him then, but a certain part of him As Lina woke up, she felt lie she was leaning against a gentle and solid chest. However, when she moved her body, a sharp pain spread throughout her entire being as if her bones were falling apart "Zuko..." Her voice lazily called, making Zuko's heart race.

This time, reason won out. She definitely would not be able to bear it if he went on "Yeah, I'm here.” He gently inquired with a deep voice, "Stil... hurting?" Lina shot him a slightly annoyed look. "Of course it hurts.” "Where does it hurt?" Was that even a question? Lina playfully nudged him. "Come onl Tell me where it hurts!" Zuko smirked and replied casually, "If | ever fell or got hurt as a child, my mom would hold me and gently rub the pain away... Do you want me to give you alittle rub, too?" Lina blushed crimson but couldn't tell if he was joking or being serious from his eamest expression. She pulled the blanket over herself, turing away and ignoring him Zuko also slipped under the covers and embraced her from behind, wanting to ensure she was comfortable.

"What are you trying to do, Zuko?" Lina asked, her curiosity piqued "I've told you before, haven't 1" Zuko chuckled in a husky voice. "| want to... do some morning exercises!” When they finally went downstairs, it was already lunchtime. The servants were busy clearing unnecessary things and setting up for lunch Lina felt her head heavy, with no appetite and too lazy to even pick up the cutlery.

Fortunately, Zuko was there to feed her.

"Babe, where do you want to go for our honeymoon?" "Honeymoon?" Lina chuckled lightly. "Work is my priority right now. | haven't even thought about the honeymoon.” "Well." "The Thompson Group is expanding into real estate, and several projects are at a critical stage. | need to pay more attention to that.” What else could Zuko say? He could only agree. Otherwise, the washboard in the corner would have to come into play.

"Promise me that once you're less busy, we'll make up for the honeymoon!” Zuko requested.

“Alright” Lina's eyes formed smiling crescents. "Not only the honeymoon, but I'l also give you your golden chamber!” “Its a deal.” Zuko extended his pinky finger, and they sealed the promise.

Lina's heart stirred, recalling how they used to hold hands as kids. It felt just like now.

She wondered if litle Pammy had stuck to little Zuko in the same way back then.

Life had its twists and turns, but it eventually brought the person from their memories right by their side.

Feeling grateful for the kindness of fate, Lina leaned her head on Zuko's shoulder, smiling As they enjoyed their lunch, Zuko's phone suddenly rang "Zuko, I'm really sorry... | know | shouldn't be bothering you at this time, but I..." Toph's voice sounded apologetic.

Knowing his younger brother well, Zuko understood that Toph wouldn't disturb him unless it was something important.

"What happened?" Zuko inquired “It's Renee's mom. Her illness has relapsed!”

Linda glanced at Gia and said coldly, "Ms. Chapman, do you really think that using sweet words and sowing discord can fool everyone? You're still young. Use your time in prison to reform yourself. There may still be opportunities in your life!” "I think not" Suddenly, a crisp voice came from outside the door Lina's eyes lit up.

Abigail had told her that she would appear on the day of "harvest", and now she was there. She still wore her big sunglasses that covered half of her face and walked with an air of confidence. There was, however, another person behind her.

‘That person looked panicked with trembling legs. As soon as she entered, she knelt in front of everyone.

Linda frowned. "Who is she?" Abigail walked over to explain unhurriedly, "Mr. and Mrs. Thompson, this is Tina Yoe, a cosmetic doctor known in the entertainment industry, but she has done something even more notorious!” Gia looked at Tina, and both of them tumed pale at the sight of each other.

Lina stepped forward to show her examination report to the police officers. "This is the result of the detailed examination. | was injected with a certain drug, which causes pain in my waist." "What?" Linda was shocked "Mom, it's not serious,” Lina comforted. "| went to Dr. Yoe back when | removed the birthmark on my waist. Things have cleared up, and she admitted it herself. While removing the birthmark, she injected a foreign-produced drug without any production qualifications or safety assurance!” Nicholas was furious upon hearing that and almost pulled out his pistol. However, Ian held his hand tightly and shook his head at him while shooting glances at the police.

Lina continued. "Mom, dad, don't worry. The drug she injected left some aftereffects, but fortunately, the dosage wasn't significant. With proper care, | can recover” Linda was almost in tears. "Silly child, you were fine with that birthmark. Why remove it?"

"I remember it was a crescent-shaped one on your waist when you were born. It was light and looked rather cute." Nicholas chuckled lightly. "But why did you want to remove it?" Zuko sneered. "You'll have to ask Ms. Chapman about that. Also, Dr. Yoe seems to know quite a lot about these ‘matters of the wealthy’, right?" Gia and Tina sucked in cold breaths. Even without them saying anything, everyone could guess that Melvin was the one behind everything Removing Lina's birthmark was originally meant to block her way home. However, they did not expect her to meet Zuko. In the end, Zuko still managed to bring Pammy back home.

After the police thoroughly investigated the situation, Tina and Gia were taken away. They found Tobias, who had been beaten up, behind the hotel and took him away as well. All of them would face severe punishment.

Nicholas also gave instructions for those in the prison to take "good" care of these newcomers.

‘The matter finally came to an end.

Surprisingly, Melissa's condition improved Initially, the doctors had determined that her cancer cells had spread too rapidly. and the delayed treatment had made the situation bleak.

However, with Zephyr and Cordelia's notice, Zennie immediately rushed back from a medical seminar in Eropah with Seth.

Melissa's medical records were also sent all the way to Southeast Aciatic, and Carter had been busy studying them with top experts in the field for days. With the combined efforts of modern and holistic medicine, there were signs of the cancer cells in Melissa's body stopping their spread Additionally, Lina stayed by her side every day, taking meticulous care of her. Melissa was a cheerful and optimistic person, so her condition naturally improved with her improved mindset [ Zephyr and Cordelia came to the hospital with Zuko to visit Melissa. Just as they reached the door of the ward, Cordelia stopped the men and gestured inside. They saw Lina by Melissa's side, carefully opening a food container. She sterilized the cutlery before gently feeding her mother.

The scene of Lina and Melissa smiling at each other was moving, like a warm and beautiful painting.

Cordelia sighed with a smile. "Lina's such a good child who's grateful and devoted..." "Of course." Zuko said with a hint of arrogance, "Could my chosen wife be any less?" "How is It just your choice?" Zephyr frowned. "Back then, your mother and I took you and Toph to the Thompsons to attend Pammy's one-month celebration, and then..." "Then | held her little hand and got engaged, right?" "You bratt" Cordelia smiled, linking arms with Zephyr, and scolded thelr eldest son, "You have to wait until your father finishes speaking before you can talk" "Okay, got it" Zuko sighed.

Strange..." Zuko and Toph were the dariings of their mother's heart when they were children. How did their father end up the favorite the older they got? "Ah, women are so fickle! Zuko chuckled and was about to knock on the door to enter, but Cordelia stopped him and asked in a low voice, "By the way, has Lina already applied to study abroad in Denmaie?" "Yes," Zuko replied. "But she didn't apply for it. The school invited her, hoping she would further her studies there." "Is she still planning to study architecture?" yes "In that case, won't you two be doing long distance...” Cordelia expressed her concern. € ‘Young couples in love feared nothing more than being apart. Denmaie was in Eropah, not even in the same hemisphere as Centrolis. With such a great distance, anything could happen

"Mom, don't worry!" Zuko smiled, placing his hands on his mother's shoulders. "Lina and | won't be separated. I've already applied to go with her, so I'l be leaving with her" "Huh?" Zephyr was surprised. "You're leaving 00?" "The course is only one year." Zuko looked at his father, instantly adopting Toph's sweet coaxing ways. "Dad, you're still strong and vigorous, and the Hamertons can't do without you. But it should be fine without me, right?" Zephyr pursed his lips. That did sound pretty reasonable. "But what status are you accompanying her with?" Zuko replied without hesitation, "Her husband, of course!” "On." Zephyr nodded, squinting his eyes. "Your mother and | have no objections about you marrying Pammy. However..." He raised an eyebrow. "Have you gotten the consent of Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda?"
