Chapter 1107


    Zuko felt his throat tighten, and he licked his dry lips. After a moment of silence, he finally spoke up.


    “I… I have a question I’d like to ask you,” he said, his voice faltering.


    “Mm-hmm, go ahead and ask,” Lina replied.


    “Lina, are you… happy in this home?” Zuko asked, his expression filled with uncertainty.


    Lina was taken aback. She sensed that something was off about Zuko today, but she couldn’t quite put


    her finger on it. His eyes seemed more mysterious, and he sometimes appeared hesitant to meet her


    gaze.


    Could it be that there were more secrets to his identity?


    “What do you mean by that, Zuko?” she inquired, her tone cautious.


    Zuko gently held her shoulders and pleaded, “Please answer my question honestly.”


    “Why would you need to ask that? Of course I’m happy!” Lina replied, her eyes searching his face for


    any signs of concern.


    “But how would you feel if you had to leave them one day?” Zuko pressed on, his gaze intense.


    Lina’s eyes widened with alertness. “What are you trying to do? Are you suggesting that if I marry you, I


    won’t be allowed toe home? Are there so many rules in your wealthy family? I won’t marry you


    then!”


    “No, no, that’s not it,” Zuko hurriedly reassured her, reaching out to hold her arm and then embracing


    her tightly from behind, afraid she might run away.


    It would be a disaster if he failed to confirm her identity and lost her as his wife.


    Lina patted his arm and turned around to face him. “Tell me exactly what you’re trying to ask.”Books

    Zuko began to fabricate a story. “Well… I suddenly thought of a friend. He was separated from his


    family at a young age but was fortunate to be adopted by a loving family. Now, his biological parents


    want him back… He asked for my opinion, and I don’t know what to tell him.”


    “I see…” Lina responded, her suspicions still lingering as she studied his face.


    “Lina, would you return to your biological parents if you were in his shoes?” Zuko asked, hoping to


    gather more information. “His real parents are wonderful people who deeply love him. They were


    forced to give him up… They had no choice!”


    He added, “Moreover, his biological parents are well-off. They could provide him with a luxurious life


    and a brighter future! So, what would you do if you were in his position?”

    Lina furrowed her brows, her eyes reflecting aplex mix of emotions. She took a moment to


    seriously contemte before answering, “I don’t know.”


    Her response took Zuko aback.


    “I really don’t know!” Lina rified patiently. “It hasn’t happened to me, so I can’t decide for someone


    else! Besides, I can’t even imagine leaving my parents and Dave… It would devastate me!”


    “Really…” Zuko muttered, feeling conflicted.


    “Yes! Would you be willing to leave your family just like that?” Lina questioned, her tone gentle.


    Zuko shook his head mechanically, indicating his hesitation.


    Lina smiled warmly. “Exactly! I can tell that your family must be amazing since you’re so close to your


    brother. It’s just like my family!


    “There’s a saying, ‘The unfortunate ones spend their whole lives healing their childhood, while the


    fortunate ones spend their childhood healing their whole lives,’” Lina shared, her arms reaching out to


    embrace Zuko. Happiness radiated from her face.


    “Zuko, I consider myself fortunate,” she said with a genuine smile, her expression as pure and sweet as


    moonlight shining through a window.


    He looked at her, his thoughts filled withplexity, as he recalled her courage and indifference when


    confronting Fred.
