Chapter 1158


    When Lina finished changing clothes, she walked out of the room hand in hand with Zuko. However,


    before leaving, she couldn’t resist looking around.


    There stood Linda, motionless in that spot.


    Lina observed her thin figure, hunched over like an olddy as if a gust of wind could make her


    copse. The anticipation in her eyes had faded, reced by a sense of emptiness.


    An indescribable sadness filled Lina’s heart.


    Linda and Nichs were two unfamiliar names to her, but they were the two closest people to her in


    this world.


    Taking a deep breath, Lina lowered her gaze and remained silent. Zuko understood her emotions and


    gently embraced her, kissing her forehead tenderly.


    “Everything will be fine,” he whispered. “It’s not as difficult as it seems… They love you very much and


    have been searching for you for 20 years.”


    “I know.” Lina held his hand. Despite the tropical climate of Southeast Aciatic, her palms felt ice-cold.


    “Zuko, I… I need time.”


    “Mm, I understand.” He looked at her with tenderness. “I’ll always be by your side, helping you adapt as


    quickly as possible. Uncle Nichs and Aunt Linda have watched me grow up. For me, they’re already


    family.


    “Lina, I’ve told you before, I won’t let you be separated from your family.


    “What about me?” He gently caressed her face. “Don’t let my family down either, okay?”


    Lina bit her lip and looked up at him.


    Behind him, the starry sky of Southeast Aciatic glistened, reflecting the resolute light in his eyes, much


    like the stars themselves.


    She smiled faintly and stepped into the dreamy night, their fingers intertwined.

    That night, the pce was filled with liveliness.


    Apart from the Irwins, several other influential families from Southeast Aciatic were also invited. Most of


    the attendees were the younger generation of these families.


    The atmosphere of the banquet was not solemn or serious due to the presence of the king. On the


    contrary, Alexander enjoyed seeing the younger generation together, radiating their energy. After a brief


    opening speech, he stepped aside to y cards with Neil, leaving the scene to these yful and lively


    juniors.


    Toph held Renee’s hand as they wandered through the crowd. His outgoing nature made him


    particrly suited for such gatherings. After a few sses of wine, he quickly became acquainted with


    the heirs of the Southeast Aciatic noble families, proudly introducing Renee to everyone.Books

    He was only a step away from holding up a sign that said, “Renee is Toph’s future wife.”


    On the other hand, Zuko remained more low-key, constantly staying by Lina’s side. He anticipated her


    needs in advance, ensuring everything was prepared for her, be it food or anything else she desired.


    Although heiresses from various families approached, seeking conversations, Zuko never cast a nce


    in their direction, devoting his full attention to guarding the person in front of him.


    Lina stole a nce at him.


    His serious demeanor,bined with the smear of cake cream on the corner of his mouth, was


    somehow amusing!


    She chuckled and gently wiped it off for him.


    Zuko froze for a moment before suddenly holding her small hand, his eyes filled with affectionate joy.


    “So, you two are here!” A voice interrupted their little moment.


    Lina hastily pushed Zuko away, her cheeks slightly flushed.


    It was Carter who approached, holding a ss of wine in his hand. He looked at Zuko, then at Lina,


    and smiled approvingly.


    “Your medical examination report from when you were injured in Southeast Aciatic is still with me,”


    Carter said with a smile. “Zuko, your grandparents said that young people nowadays match their birth


    charts when dating, so they matched your DNA… Haha, who would have thought that the result of the


    match would turn out like this!”


    Recalling the incident from herst visit to Southeast Aciatic, Lina wanted to raise her ss in a toast.


    If it hadn’t been for this kind-hearted man, she wouldn’t know how long she would have been entangled


    with Violet and Gia.


    Carter smiled and epted her gesture, downing the ss of wine. “By the way, Lina, the matter from


    last time has been investigated and cleared up.”
