Zuko furrowed his brow. “The birthmark on you? The crescent-shaped one?”
“Yeah.” Lina smiled sheepishly. “I didn’t tell you earlier because I was a bit worried… Aren’t men usually against
girls getting plastic surgery?”
“Not at all.” Zuko gently stroked her hair. “Men have a high level of acceptance for the women they love. But why
did you remove the birthmark?”
Lina paused for a moment and spoke softly. “It was Gia who convinced me to have it removed. She said that… the
mark on my waist wasn’t attractive and affected my appearance in certain clothes.
“To be honest, I was quite foolish back then.” She chuckled. “I mean, how often will I wear outfits that expose my
waist and stomach? Does it really matter if it’s aesthetically pleasing!? But I got carried away and listened to her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtand had the birthmark removed.”
Zuko’s gaze darkened.
Gia had been in contact with Melvin for a long time, so her actions were definitely part of a scheme—and the
scheme was clear. It was to prevent Lina from returning to the Thompsons!
“Why are you lost in thought?” Lina waved her hand in front of him and smiled sweetly. “Are you hungry? Let’s eat
together!”
“It’s okay, I’m not hungry.” Zuko felt sad for the naive and innocent girl and gently embraced her.
The security guard downstairs called to inform them that someone from the Hamertons had brought medicine. Lina
asked them to come up. However, she was taken aback when she saw the table filled with various types of
medicine.
“These…”
“These were all gathered by Mr. Zuko,” the butler said with a smile.
Zuko looked down and realized that he had accidentally sent the voice message to a group chat in his haste…
“Mr. Zuko, is there anything else you need?”
“Well… it’s sufficient.” Zuko pursed his lips.
The latest medicines would be sent from Southeast Aciatic every year. There were also Zennie and Seth… so the
Hamertons were never short of medicine.
The old butler respectfully left the room.
Zuko casually picked up a bottle from the table and nearly stumbled upon seeing the label.
“What’s wrong?” Lina approached curiously.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm
Zuko quickly hid the bottle behind him, but she still noticed it.
“Ult-Alpha?” Lina was puzzled. “What is this?”
Zuko forced a smile, unsure of how to respond.
Why did Toph find the pills their grandfather gave their father?
“Oh, this… This…” Zuko quickly snatched it away, stuttering and unable to come up with a reasonable explanation.
“This is a type of pill… from Southeast Aciatic that can cure various ailments!”
“Really?” Lina suddenly remembered Jesse. “My dad used to feel pain in his waist, and you treated him with
acupuncture. Can he take this?”
Zuko looked horrified in an instant.
His phone buzzed. It was a text from Toph.
[Bro, the pills aren’t expired yet. Feel free to use them!]
There was even an emoji with its tongue sticking out at the end.
Zuko’s head started buzzing along with his phone, and his blood pressure shot up. He struggled to type a response.
