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

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

“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

“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

Zuko casually picked up a bottle from the table and nearly stumbled upon seeing the label.

“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

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.
