Chapter 1043
Zuko regained hisposure and nced at Fred, scoffing slightly. “Didn’t you ask me if you’re okay?
I was just telling the truth…”
“Okay, okay!” Fred was sweating nervously. “Um… Zeke, can we talk about my illness alone?”
Zuko considered it for a moment and stood up. He followed Fred to his car, which was parked at the
entrance of the alley. He had brought a needle with him.
Zuko repeated everything he had discovered from checking Fred’s pulse inside the car.
After listening, Fred nodded in understanding.
In truth, beforeing to Zuko, Fred had visited a holistic doctor. He had sought Zuko out to verify if
the rumors about his abilities were true. Additionally, Fred had heard that the president of the
Southeast Aciatic Medical Association doted on his grandson. Not only had he passed on his
knighthood to him, but he had also taught him everything about holistic healing…
Fred wanted to test whether Zeke was truly Zuko!
As he listened to Zuko naming his illness and exining its causes, Fred was taken aback. He couldn’t
believe that everything Zuko said aligned perfectly with the diagnosis from the holistic doctor he had
seen, despite Zuko being so young!
If Zuko hadn’t inherited his knowledge from somewhere, which young holistic doctor could possess
such abilities?
Fred’s frown deepened, and doubt grew in his eyes.
He then asked in a testing manner, “Zeke, what should I do about this?”
“Don’t always be angry, and take care of your health. Eat well, sleep better, and you should recover,”
Zuko replied with a smirk. Suddenly, he recalled a pill from Irwin Pharmaceuticals in Southeast Aciatic.
Rowan used to send them to Zephyr from time to time. When Zuko was young, he didn’t recall seeing
them, but as he grew older, the packages from Southeast Aciatic became more frequent. His father
also started throwing away the pills more often.
Zephyr would always exim, “Why would I need these?” and then instruct the maids to dispose of
them as far away as possible.

Zuko sighed. He wasted so much good stuff back then! His father did not need them, but many men in
the world did, such as the person in front of him.
Zuko looked at Fred and noticed that he had been staring at the box with the needle in his pocket.
Zuko was alert and shoved the box deeper into his pocket subtly.
“Mr. Grist, in reality, there are many things you should let go of. 80% of illnesses are caused by
emotions,” Zuko calmly stated.
Fred scoffed. “Ha! I’d like to be happy too! I’ve been shouldering all the burdens in the family for years.
I’ve put in so much effort, and that damned girl Violet has ruined everything! Tell me, how can I not be
mad and hurt my liver?”
Zuko’s eyes flickered withplexity as he replied in his deep voice, “Since you feel it’s unfair, try
doing something about it. Mr. Grist, you’re superior to Violet in terms of connections and abilities, so
why are you tormenting yourself?”
Fred’s eyes lit up. “Zeke, you’re not just a simple truck driver to be so wise!”
“But I’m just an ordinary man.” Zuko smiled. “To my Lina, I’m just a regr husband. and impulses like
any normal person… Mr. Grist, do you understand what I’m trying to say?”
Fred’s heart tightened. Was Zuko referring to the fact that if Fred crossed his boundaries, Zuko would
respond with “impulse” without hesitation, even resorting to violence?
In shock, Fred nodded while Zuko smiled and exited the car.
Before Zuko reached home, he received a call from Toph, asking if he coulde home for a while.
Zuko furrowed his brow. He had to, as he needed to make an effort to obtain some of his mother’s
antique jewelry for Lina…
Thus, he agreed.
On the day Zuko arrived in Centrolis, Toph informed him, “Pammy was sick earlier, so I used the
excuse of acting as a caregiver to visit the Thompsons. I finally managed to enter the princess’
room!”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…
Zuko furrowed his brow. “Do you even know how to be a caregiver?”
Toph scratched his head and smiled innocently. “That’s not the point. I… I stole her mug, but she didn’t
notice!”
“You got her sample?” asked Zuko.
“I did, but something strange happened…” Toph’s expression turned serious as he handed over a DNA
report.
Zuko reviewed the report and saw that the result was—a 99% match. “W-What is this?”
“What else? She’s the real Pammy!” Toph pouted. “Bro, do you think we got it wrong from the
beginning? Maybe Pammy couldn’t get used to it, which is why she avoided me?”
“Impossible!” Zuko stated firmly.
In truth, Zuko had a peculiar feeling ever since he first saw Pammy.
“So what do we do now, bro?” asked Toph.
“We stop the investigation.” Zuko pondered for a moment and then had an epiphany. He grabbed his
brother and asked, “What if… someone tampered with the DNA report?”
Toph’s eyes widened. “What are you suggesting?”
“I’m saying there might be someone with malicious intent trying to hinder us from uncovering the truth.
What do you think?”
“Bro, do you mean…”
Zuko looked into Toph’s eyes and nodded.
“So the investigation must continue.” Zuko spoke with a deep voice. “But we need to reconsider and
change our strategy. It might still work.”
Toph furrowed his brow deeply, and something suddenly came to his mind after a brief silence.
“Oh, yeah!” Toph grabbed his brother. “When Pammy was drifting in and out of her illness, I stayed with
her. I heard her calling out ‘mom’!”
“So, she was calling Aunt Linda?” asked Zuko.
“I don’t think so…” Toph lowered his voice. “Right after that, she mentioned something about a kidney
donor… Bro, does Aunt Linda need a new kidney?”
