    “For whatever it’s worth, he shouldn’t know! Let’s keep it a secret until he officially marries Lina!”


    Jesse always listened to his wife, and this matter was no exception. He would keep it to himself if she


    didn’t allow him to tell others. He would even hold her down on the operating table if she refused


    treatment to stop the doctors from performing surgery. All he could do now was take care of her and be


    there for her on this final journey, ensuring she lived a happy and fulfilled life.


    Jesse’s heart ached, and he tightly clenched his fists.


    Soon, Zuko and Lina arrived. As Lina entered, she sweetly called out, “Mom!”


    Melissa weed her with a smile as if nothing was wrong.


    “I told you there was no need toe and pick me up from the hospital. I’ve already packed up,”


    Melissa said.


    “It’s Zeke who insisted oning for you!” Lina whispered in Melissa’s ear. “How about it? Isn’t your


    son-inw filial?”


    “Of course!” Melissa patted her face. “You’re all good and filial children. I chose this son-inw for you!”


    Lina smiled shyly, and Melissa quietly looked at her for a while as if wanting to remember her


    appearance forever. She had never felt this way before, but every time she closed her eyes today, all


    she saw was Lina from childhood to adulthood.


    Melissa thought she would spend the rest of her life in peace, but time passed so quickly that she was


    now about to leave this world.


    She looked at Lina and softly said, “Take your father to buy a pack of cigarettes! He hasn’t smoked for


    the past few days, and I don’t know where the shops are around here. He’s almost going crazy!”Books

    Lina nodded in agreement, but Zuko sensed that Melissa wanted to talk to him privately. When they


    were alone in the room, he asked, “Ma’am, do you need to talk to me privately?”


    “You’re smart, Zeke!” Melissa smiled. “Actually… it’s nothing much. It’s just what we agreed on before.


    We need to change your and Lina’s fake marriage certificate into a real one!”


    Zuko’s eyes widened, surprised by the sudden proposal.


    “What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy?” Melissa couldn’t stop smiling. “Zeke, I’m officially announcing that


    you’ve passed my test!”


    Zuko stood frozen, sensing something off about her smile but unable to pinpoint willing to make his


    marriage to Lina official.


    Suppressing his excitement, Zuko calmly said, “Thank you… mom.”


    Melissa became even happier upon hearing the address change.


    “But Zeke, I have one more thing.” She looked at him seriously. “No matter what, we should invite your


    parents toe and discuss your and Lina’s wedding ns with them! How about that?”


    Zuko felt both amused and exasperated.


    Just then, Lina returned with Jesse, mirroring Zuko’s amusement and exasperation upon hearing the


    conversation.


    “Mom, actually, he—”


    “Hey, Lina, just listen to your mother!” Jesse interjected, worried that his daughter wouldn’t agree. “Let


    Zeke’s parentse for a visit! Even if he’s marrying into our family, we still need to meet his parents,


    right?”


    “Zeke, don’t worry!” Melissa continued. “We won’t mistreat them when theye!”


    “That’s right!” Jesse chimed in. “We’ll cover their travel expenses! It’s several trips by train from


    Jangasas to Centrolis. We’ll get them first-ss seats!”


    “Dad, Mom!” Lina stomped her foot in frustration.


    Zuko gently held her hand, smiling sincerely as he looked at Jesse and his wife. He said, “Sir, Ma’am,


    why don’t… youe to Centrolis instead?”
