“Really?” Cordelia smiled, genuinely happy.
The family of four sat back on the sofa.
While playing his game, Toph said, “Aunt Zennie’s medicine is really effective. Renee’s mom is much better now
compared to before. As long as she continues with the medication and rests, maintaining the current situation
won’t be a problem.”
“I heard that maintaining the current situation is already considered an improvement for her condition.” Zephyr
chuckled. “Can she be discharged from the hospital now?”
“Yes, she can!” Toph raised an eyebrow. “I’ve arranged a place for her to stay and hired someone to take care of
her. Renee will move out from the Thompsons soon and live with her mom. But the new house is close to the
Thompsons, so it’ll be convenient for her to visit Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda.”
“Renee’s a good girl.” Cordelia looked at her son. “You better treat her well. She’s suffered so much since she was
young!”
“Don’t worry, mom!” Toph smirked as he put down his phone and went over to Cordelia. He started massaging her

“But don’t you think you should give your future daughter-in-law a meeting gift?”
Cordelia was taken aback. “What?”
“Le Esse was given to Zuko, so my future wife should also have a family heirloom, right? Mom, you need to be fair!”
“I know!” Cordelia patted her son’s head and smiled gently.
They chatted for a while longer, but Cordelia and Zephyr went to their room to rest as drowsiness set in.
Toph watched them walk away and gestured to his older brother, indicating for him to come to his room. Zuko
followed.
As soon as they entered the room, Toph leaned in mysteriously and whispered into Zuko’s ear.
Zuko showed a hint of disgust and pressed a finger against Toph’s chest, gently pushing him away. “Give me some
space.”
“You’re really clueless!” Toph retorted with an equally disdainful look. “Didn’t you use to cuddle up to me when we
were little? Have you forgotten about that?”
“Get to the point!”
Toph licked his lips and lowered his voice. “Abigail’s back!”
Zuko’s expression froze, and all traces of laughter disappeared from his eyes.
“The news is probably accurate.” Toph stroked his chin. “Because our mother has been going to Imperial Media
quite often recently… Think about it, with our mother’s status, would she personally intervene unless it’s a big-
name celebrity?”
Zuko furrowed his brows. “You mean Abigail… is a big-name celebrity?”
“Bro, she’s the Alluring Gail!”
Zuko’s gaze slightly darkened.
The nickname ‘Alluring Gail’ was given to Abigail by the public, even though Zuko couldn’t appreciate her beauty. In
the eyes of countless fans and the media, Abigail was a born femme fatale—fair-skinned, beautiful face, long legs,
and an hourglass figure. She had perfect features and stunning body proportions.
Coupled with her divine acting skills and the ability to immerse herself in any role in an instant, she gained
widespread popularity at a young age. Numerous people praised and admired her, including the veteran actress
Millie and the renowned director Trinity.

“I heard she’s planning a comeback recently.” Toph cleared his throat twice. “Her agent has approached our
mother several times, and she is also considering it. After all, Abigail is only 24, which is the best age for a female
actress.
“That incident between her and you… happened two years ago. Her exposure in the past two years hasn’t been as
high as before, but reruns of her previous dramas still generate good ratings. So you can imagine her popularity!”
Toph saw that Zuko still hadn’t reacted, so he nudged him with his elbow. “Bro, what do you think?”
Zuko’s brows furrowed as he glanced at him with a troubled heart. What else could he think?
He and Abigail were practically strangers!
What his younger brother said about “that incident” between her and him… What did it mean?
“I have nothing to do with her whatsoever!” Zuko growled lowly.
“I know.” Toph looked at him sympathetically. “But the gossip-loving masses don’t know that!”
Zuko sighed heavily, resting his forehead on his hands as he sat on the sofa.
That year, when he attended the royal event in Southeast Aciatic, Abigail, who had nothing to do with him, suddenly
appeared in the hotel where he was staying.
