Chapter 1156


    “Mom, dad, Dave, I’m really sorry for making you worry!” Lina’s emotions got the best of her, making


    her talkative. To avoid scaring them, she decided to keep the part about being abducted onto the ship


    to herself.


    “Actually, these past few days… um, I’ve been with Zuko the whole time! We just arrived in Southeast


    Aciatic today.”


    “Sis, did you go to that pce again?” Dave said with envy. “I saw the photos from your study tourst


    time. It looked so beautiful there!”


    “I’ll take you for a visit there when you get into university!” Zuko took the phone and chuckled softly.


    Dave cheered excitedly on the other end.


    Upon hearing Zuko’s voice, Jesse and Melissa felt more relieved, knowing that Lina was with him.


    Melissa said, on the verge of tears andughter, “Lina, how have you beentely? I’ve had a bad


    feeling these days and felt anxious for no reason…”


    “Mom, you should take care of your health.” Lina spoke gently. “Don’t overwork yourself, whether at


    home or in the store. Let Dave handle what needs to be done. He’s grown up now!”


    “That’s right.” Jesse chimed in with a smile. “Let him take care of everything. He’s a boy, and he should

    “Bute back for a visit when you have the time, Lina. The old house and the supermarket are still


    waiting for you!”


    “Dad…”


    “Dad knows. You’re now part of a wealthy family, and these things are not that important.” Jesse smiled


    innocently. “But they’re a token from us, so you must ept them, understood?”


    Lina’s eyes welled up with tears, and the urge to cry surged again.


    Jesse lowered his voice. “By the way, uh… I know it’s inappropriate to say this, but remember, if you’re


    notfortable over there, we will always have a room for you here, understand?”


    “Mm…”


    “You old man, what nonsense are you spouting!?” Melissa punched him directly. “Lina, don’t listen to


    your father. This man smokes so much his brain’s fried!”


    “You old hag, am I talking nonsense? Weren’t you worried during that time too!?”


    “Shut up!”


    Even through the phone, Lina could imagine her parents causing a fuss, with Dave probably trying to


    break up the fight by holding onto their father while their mother threw a few more punches.


    She had felt like crying just a moment ago, but now she burst intoughter.


    “Mom! Dad! Stop bickering.” Linaughed cheerfully. “It’s my fault for not informing you in time this


    time. From now on, I promise to call you every day!”


    “Great!” Jesse replied.


    However, Melissa said, “No need!”


    They both spoke simultaneously, then fell silent, ncing at each other.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    Jesse held Melissa’s hand and sighed softly.


    He understood his wife’s feelings. She was sick and didn’t want to burden their daughter. Fortunately,


    their daughter had already found her biological parents.


    Despite that, Melissa was also afraid. She was afraid that Lina, in her ignorance, would sh with her


    biological parents and upset them one day.


    Therefore, it would be better to minimize their meetings in the future. It would be beneficial for


    everyone.


    It was just that their daughter… probably wouldn’t understand Melissa’s heartfelt intentions.


    “Mom?” Lina was puzzled. “What are you talking about? Why won’t you let me call you?”
