“Well…”
“For whatever it’s worth, he shouldn’t know! Let’s keep it a secret until he officially marries Lina!”
Jesse always listened to his wife, and this matter was no exception. He would keep it to himself if she didn’t allow
him to tell others. He would even hold her down on the operating table if she refused treatment to stop the doctors
from performing surgery. All he could do now was take care of her and be there for her on this final journey,
ensuring she lived a happy and fulfilled life.
Jesse’s heart ached, and he tightly clenched his fists.
Soon, Zuko and Lina arrived. As Lina entered, she sweetly called out, “Mom!”
Melissa welcomed her with a smile as if nothing was wrong.
“I told you there was no need to come and pick me up from the hospital. I’ve already packed up,” Melissa said.

filial?”
“Of course!” Melissa patted her face. “You’re all good and filial children. I chose this son-in-law for you!”
Lina smiled shyly, and Melissa quietly looked at her for a while as if wanting to remember her appearance forever.
She had never felt this way before, but every time she closed her eyes today, all she saw was Lina from childhood
to adulthood.
Melissa thought she would spend the rest of her life in peace, but time passed so quickly that she was now about to
leave this world.
She looked at Lina and softly said, “Take your father to buy a pack of cigarettes! He hasn’t smoked for the past few
days, and I don’t know where the shops are around here. He’s almost going crazy!”
Lina nodded in agreement, but Zuko sensed that Melissa wanted to talk to him privately. When they were alone in
the room, he asked, “Ma’am, do you need to talk to me privately?”
“You’re smart, Zeke!” Melissa smiled. “Actually… it’s nothing much. It’s just what we agreed on before. We need to
change your and Lina’s fake marriage certificate into a real one!”
Zuko’s eyes widened, surprised by the sudden proposal.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy?” Melissa couldn’t stop smiling. “Zeke, I’m officially announcing that you’ve
passed my test!”
Zuko stood frozen, sensing something off about her smile but unable to pinpoint willing to make his marriage to Lina
official.
Suppressing his excitement, Zuko calmly said, “Thank you… mom.”
Melissa became even happier upon hearing the address change.
“But Zeke, I have one more thing.” She looked at him seriously. “No matter what, we should invite your parents to
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcome and discuss your and Lina’s wedding plans with them! How about that?”
Zuko felt both amused and exasperated.
Just then, Lina returned with Jesse, mirroring Zuko’s amusement and exasperation upon hearing the conversation.
“Mom, actually, he—”
“Hey, Lina, just listen to your mother!” Jesse interjected, worried that his daughter wouldn’t agree. “Let Zeke’s
parents come for a visit! Even if he’s marrying into our family, we still need to meet his parents, right?”
“Zeke, don’t worry!” Melissa continued. “We won’t mistreat them when they come!”
“That’s right!” Jesse chimed in. “We’ll cover their travel expenses! It’s several trips by train from Jangasas to
Centrolis. We’ll get them first-class seats!”
“Dad, Mom!” Lina stomped her foot in frustration.
Zuko gently held her hand, smiling sincerely as he looked at Jesse and his wife. He said, “Sir, Ma’am, why don’t…
you come to Centrolis instead?”
