Toph told Zuko about the strange incident he encountered at the hospital.
Upon hearing that, Zuko sneered, “It seems that Pammy’s being controlled by Melvin. If she’s the real Pammy, it
means Melvin’s involved in kidnapping her back then!”
“What if she’s fake?” Toph added, “Then it means that everything’s orchestrated by Melvin!”
“Keep it down for now.” Zuko lowered his voice. “Not only because we don’t have enough evidence, but also… to
consider Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda’s feelings. They believe they’ve found their daughter. Until the truth is
revealed, we shouldn’t dampen their spirits.”
“Yeah, I understand… Now that Melvin’s surely wary of us, we need to act low-key!”
“Cough, it’s you, not me.” Zuko laughed. “We can start tracking after your leg heals. If you keep hobbling around on
crutches, anyone with eyes and ears will know what you’re up to!”
Toph rolled his eyes. “Hey, aren’t you planning to come back anytime soon? My foot is injured. Won’t you come and

“Visit you… for what?”
“Are you really asking that? Isn’t there any brotherly affection left? Am I no longer your beloved little brother!?”
Faced with his younger brother’s questioning once again, Zuko struggled to hold back his laughter. He then
solemnly told him, “You only have a sprained foot, but I almost lost my love!”
“Damn it, Zuko!!” Toph was itching to strangle him, feeling goosebumps all over his body.
Lina came down from upstairs.
Zuko disregarded his brother’s shouting, hung up the phone, stood up straight, and smiled, waving at Lina.
When Lina saw him, she remembered how he had tried to “reason” with her and got even angrier.
She had not been speaking to him for several days now, and she did not plan to speak to him today either.
Lina treated him like air and walked past him expressionlessly.
“Hey, Lina…” Zuko quickly called out to her.
Lina stopped in her tracks, only tilting her head slightly.
Zuko hesitated. In fact, he had a lot to say to her, but after scratching his head, all the words converged into one
sentence. “Um… When can I move back to sleep in the living room?”
Lina felt like something had exploded within her that almost blew off the top of her head!
She turned around and glared at him. Without saying a word, she ran out of the house.
“Lina!” Zuko shouted loudly.
To be honest, he really wanted to give himself a slap… He was supposed to say, “I like you”, but why did his tongue
disobey him in the end?
“Lina, wait!”
“What?” Lina replied harshly.
“Where are you going dressed like this?” asked Zuko.
“How am I dressed?” Lina was stunned. She was just wearing her usual white T-shirt and jeans, except that there

“You… Don’t you usually wear loungewear at home?” Zuko stammered, “Now you’re dressed like this. Doesn’t that
mean you’re going out? Where are you going?”
Lina rolled her eyes and sneered. “Do you have the right to care?”
“I…”
Lina snorted coldly and headed straight for the lane entrance, disappearing without a trace after she flagged down
a taxi.
Zuko chased after her, his eyes fixed on the disappearing car, unable to resist kicking a small pebble off the road.
“Bro! Door Guardian!” Dave ran out of the house, giving him an address. “My sister’s going here!”
Zuko’s eyes lit up.
It turned out that Dave had been doing workbooks at home all morning. When he encountered a difficult problem
and wanted to ask Lina for help, he overheard his sister making a phone call in her room, saying she was going to a
restaurant.
