The doctor paused momentarily, then said, "Just a while ago, Mr. Chriss' sister came."
"Sister?" Chris suddenly felt something was amiss. "What sister?"
The doctor didn't elaborate. He managed to smile at Chris and departed.
Lena whispered, "Did you forget? Didn't they mention that the Chrisses have an illegitimate daughter..."
Chris frowned. "So... this illegitimate daughter turned out to be a bone marrow match for Nala?"
Lena remained silent and turned toward the ward. Nala's emotions had steadied, but she still lay curled up on the
bed, softly weeping. It was a heart-wrenching sight.
But what did her reaction just now signify?
She mentioned hating her aunt. Didn't she used to say her favorite person was her aunt? -

One day, the group gathered at a lesser-known outdoor restaurant, relishing delicious food and the warmth of the
spring sun.
Chris playfully suggested they should have enough children to form a soccer team, a boost for the Hamerton
population.
Zuko paled and hastily clutched Lina's hand, glaring at Chris. "You rascal! You only know how to talk nonsense! My
wife won't put up with this!"
A little later, Toph and Arya arrived.
Seeing them holding hands, they all smiled knowingly.
Toph had just completed details for a new comic and was starving. As soon as he sat down, he dug into his food,
earning a light tap on his head from Arya. She seemed to scold him, but her eyes brimmed with tender affection.
They discussed the recent comic exhibition. It had been a tremendous success, and their new collaboration had
received rave reviews. Several major production companies had even expressed interest in buying the rights.
"So, did you sell the rights?" Chris handed drinks to Toph.
Toph shook his head. "No way! Arya and I have been working on this project for over three months. We can't just
sell the rights like that. Plus, Jon Snow is coming back soon! He's returning to invest in this project. Keeping the
rights in the family is the better choice!" "Cough!" Arya corrected him. "My brother's name is Graham!" Lina
grinned. "Arya, didn't you hear Toph? You're like family! He's just being friendly!" Arya smiled and blushed.
Zuko raised an eyebrow. "Are you planning to join the Bayer family soon?"
"It's in the Hamerton genes, isn't it?" Lina beamed. "You guys have a tradition of marrying into your wives' families!"

"Hahaha!"
Chris asked again, "So when will your marriage resemble your comic?"
Toph was usually carefree, yet he began to fidget, his cheeks turning pink.
Arya pretended to eat nonchalantly, but she was clearly flustered.
"Why are you two so serious? It's a joyous occasion!" Zuko interjected. "We've had many Hamerton- Bayer
marriages over the generations."
Zuko turned to Toph and said solemnly, "We've already prepared your wedding gift!"
"What?" Toph's eyes widened.
Zuko started listing, "We have half of our great-grandfather's boxes of gold each, and your shares are still in the
bank. I'm not interested in Grandpa Henry's antiques and calligraphy, so our parents said they're all yours. Grandpa
Rowan and Grandma Xyla have already arranged something for you in Southeast Aciatic, and—"
Chris burst into laughter, continuing Zuko's words. "And you can inherit your dad's pocket money!"
"Let's skip that part," Zuko deadpanned. "It's a small amount, so he can keep it!"
