Cordelia continued, noticing Renee’s expression. “Zennie, if she doesn’t need a kidney transplant, does that mean
she’ll recover from her condition soon?”
“Not so quickly,” Zennie replied calmly. “Kidney dysfunction is a chronic and long-term condition that can be quite
challenging. Considering the patient’s weak physical constitution, we can only manage it through conservative
treatments.”
“Do you have a solution?”
“Yes.” Zennie nodded with a smile. “There’s a highly effective drug that has recently been released in Eropah. It has
undergone clinical trials and targets this specific condition… However, it comes with a high cost, and the patient’s
family needs to carefully consider it.”
Renee moved her lips, appearing troubled.
On the side, Cordelia chimed in with a smile. “No worries. If there’s an effective drug, we’ll find a way to afford it at
our joint hospital!”
“Aunt Cordelia…”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRenee’s voice choked, looking at Cordelia with a complex expression, unable to find the right words.
“I’ve already told you, as long as we’re here, your mother will be safe.” Cordelia turned to the girl and gently held
her hand, giving her a reassuring smile.
Renee’s mind went blank, her heart pounding. She felt like she was in a dream, but this dream felt so real.
Almost instinctively, she held onto Cordelia’s hand, afraid of waking up from this dream.
“Aunt Cordelia, I…” Renee’s eyes turned red. “I’m sorry, I’ve been lying to you all this time. I…”
“Don’t say a thing.” Cordelia gently patted her hand. “Go take care of your mother first. As for the drug, I promise
she’ll receive it in time!”
Renee looked at her in tears, and finally, accompanied by a nurse, she slowly walked into the hospital room.
Cordelia felt a sense of guilt as well.
Just then, a large hand gently pressed on her shoulder. The familiar presence of that person instantly eased her
tense nerves.
She habitually leaned against the man’s embrace with a slight smile on her lips.
“Now that I’m older, I really can’t bear to see the younger generation in distress.”
Zephyr hugged her and chuckled softly. “You often say I spoil the kids, but I think you spoil them even more than I
do!”
“It’s different!” Cordelia looked up at him. “You can’t spoil those two little rascals at home, but cute and lovely girls
like Lina and Renee, they need to be cherished! By the way… where are those two troublemakers?”
Zephyr smiled helplessly. “They’re in the director’s office, waiting for their punishment!”
Cordelia immediately perked up and briskly walked toward the mentioned location.
…
Zuko sneaked into the director’s office, hoping to gather information from Toph. However, as soon as he entered,
he saw his “favorite little brother” standing gloomily against the wall, resembling a punished elementary school
student.
He thought about leaving, but it was already too late.
Zephyr cleared his throat loudly, and Zuko forced a smile as he turned around to join Toph in line.
He had intended to rely on their mother to resolve this situation, but little did he know that their mother’s gaze was
even sharper.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Speak up!” Cordelia exerted her motherly authority. “Tell me everything, from the beginning to the end, without
leaving out a single word! If I find out that either of you has been hiding something, don’t bother coming home for
dinner anymore!”
Zuko’s mind went blank. “What should I say?”
Toph, being a quick-witted little devil, took advantage of his older brother’s daze and swiftly explained everything,
from how he discovered that Fake Pammy was actually Renee, to how he uncovered the relationship between
Renee and Melvin, and even the revelation that Lina was the real Pammy…
He laid out the entire story!
Even after he finished narrating the whole saga like a stand-up comedian, his older brother remained in shock,
unable to utter a word.
“Mm, Toph did well.” Cordelia nodded, her sharp gaze shifting to her eldest son. “Zuko! Hadn’t I asked, were you
planning to keep this hidden from us for the rest of your life!?”
“Mom… This…” Zuko was dumbfounded. He was going to tell them!
Back when they were at home, he had intended to disclose that Lina was Pamela!
It just so happened that Jesse and Melissa walked in at that moment! Could he be blamed for that?
