Lina’s ears buzzed, doubting if she had misheard. Her gaze was fixed on Zuko, lips moving but unable to utter a
sound.
“Lina…” Zuko felt helpless witnessing her distressed reaction. He didn’t know how to comfort her, hold her, or
explain everything.
“You… you’re joking, right?” Lina’s lips twitched. “Zuko, don’t make things up…”
“It’s true.” Zuko locked eyes with her. “You’re not Lina Jenner. You’re Pamela Thompson.”
“How is that possible!?”
“If you don’t believe me, look further back.”
Zuko turned the album to later pages.
The deeper they delved, the clearer the image of the little girl became.

At her one-year-old celebration, she laughed joyously, captivated by someone’s antics.
At two years old, she sat up, clapping her tiny hands, gazing in a particular direction.
At three years old…
Lina’s heart pounded violently!
Zuko slowly opened a drawer, retrieved the photo Melissa had given Cordelia, and placed it in the middle of the
album for comparison.
“Lina, look.” His voice turned hoarse. “Don’t these two little girls look identical?”
Lina stood motionless like a statue.
One girl wore a beautiful fluffy dress, sporting a princess hairstyle and a delicate crown.
The other girl was held by Melissa, being coaxed to face the camera, her face scrunched up with tear-stained
cheeks.
“You were kidnapped then,” Zuko whispered. “The kidnapper cut your hair, changed your clothes, and intended to
take you away from Centrolis on a boat… but that’s when you encountered your current parents.”
Lina felt trapped in an unreal dream.
Her soul seemed to drift away, observing herself being gently embraced by Zuko from mid-air. His voice sounded
distant, ethereal.
“They searched for you for a long time. I searched for you for a long time… Pammy.”
Lina’s heart took a heavy blow, causing her pain but rendering her voiceless.
Zuko’s eyes reddened, his large hand tenderly tousling her hair.
“I’ll take you home, alright?” His voice strained. “Pammy, will you let me take you home?”
Lina stood dazed for a while before regaining her senses. She inhaled deeply, then suddenly pushed him away!

Zuko was taken aback.
Lina clutched her ears tightly and shouted, “I’m not Pammy, don’t lie to me! I’m my parents’ daughter. I’m Lina
Jenner!”
Zuko clenched his hands and pulled out a document from the deepest part of the drawer.
“In secret, I conducted a DNA test between you and your biological father back in Jangasas!” He stared at her.
“Lina… you truly are the Thompsons’ daughter. You’re the little Pammy who always followed me and called me
Zuko!”
Lina leaned against the table, feeling her strength wane. Tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.
“You were lost for 20 years, and the Thompsons have been searching for you for 20 years!” Zuko’s voice quivered.
“Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda never stopped looking because you’re their only precious daughter… Their love for
you is as strong as that of your current parents!”
“Stop! Stop talking!”
