Chapter 1116


    Toph asked in a low voice, “Are you really sure that Lina is Pammy?”


    “Yes,” Zuko replied with confidence.


    Toph knew his brother always spoke with absolute certainty.


    “Previously, when Lina went to Southeast Aciatic, there was a medical report at Uncle Carter’s ce,”


    said Zuko.


    “What?” Toph eximed in surprise.


    “It’s quite a coincidence. A few days ago, Uncle Nichs underwent a medical examination at the joint


    hospital due to work pressure and burnout. I secretly arranged for a sample of his test to be kept,


    and…”


    Toph listened in astonishment from the other end of the line. “So, they’re biological father and


    daughter?”


    “99.99%,” Zuko calmly stated. “Do you think any pair of non-biological father and daughter would yield


    such a result?”


    Toph remained stunned for a while. After regaining his senses, he marveled at the unpredictability of


    fate, the wonders of destiny, and the arrangements of life.


    After hanging up, Zuko contemted telling Lina first or talking to Jesse and Melissa.


    Just then, Lina entered the supermarket listlessly.


    “What’s wrong?” Zuko hurried over and took out the most expensive drink from the refrigerator.


    Lina nced at him and epted the drink with a helpless smile. “This is the most expensive one! If


    you keep doing business like this, we might as well close up the shop!”


    “I think we can.” Zuko spoke earnestly. “Close the shop, and it’ll be just the two of us. Then, I can do


    something I love—”


    “Zuko!”


    Lina’s face turned red. She hated it when he wore such a serious expression while saying frivolous


    words.


    Zukoughed and hugged her waist, looking at her tenderly. “You look unhappy. What happened?”


    “I’m not unhappy, just a little worried,” Lina said softly. “My mom needs to do a medical examination


    before she’s discharged from the hospital, and we’ll receive the report today.”Books Chapters Are Daily

    “Oh…” Zuko’s expression becameplicated. “What are you worried about?”


    “I’m worried that the result might say something… since my mom’s getting old. Ugh, forget it. It’s all


    nonsense!”


    However, Lina couldn’t shake off the feeling of uneasiness that rarely troubled her.


    It was as if her heart was hanging by a thread, and that thread could break at any moment, but she


    didn’t know when.


    Lina gently leaned against Zuko’s chest and reached out to hold his hand, listening to his heartbeat,


    which somewhat reassured her.


    Zuko caressed her hair and softly said, “It’s okay. The report wille out this afternoon. I’ll go to the


    hospital with you.”


    “Okay.”


    “Don’t worry. She’s usually healthy. All the indicators will surely be normal.”


    Despite what Zuko said, he had a nagging feeling that something wasn’t right.


    Perhaps everything would end this afternoon, and perhaps everything would start from this afternoon.

    Jesse followed the nurse to the doctor’s office. As soon as he entered, he broke into a cold sweat at


    the sight of the doctor’s serious face.


    “Mr. Jenner?” The doctor pushed the test report in front of him. “Your wife needs a further detailed


    examination.”


    “What… What does that mean?” Jesse stammered, thinking the hospital was trying to scam them with


    unnecessary tests.


    “Based on the medical report, her condition is not optimistic,” the doctor said, tapping on the table. “Of


    course, we need to wait for further examination results toe up with specific treatment ns.”


    “Huh?”

    The doctor continued, looking at Jesse. “Mr. Jenner, as long as your wife undergoes timely surgery and


    chemotherapy, her condition won’t be too severe.”


    Jesse’s ears buzzed, and his mind went nk.
