Chapter 1183


    “Really?” Cordelia smiled, genuinely happy.


    The family of four sat back on the sofa.


    While ying his game, Toph said, “Aunt Zennie’s medicine is really effective. Renee’s mom is much


    better nowpared to before. As long as she continues with the medication and rests, maintaining


    the current situation won’t be a problem.”


    “I heard that maintaining the current situation is already considered an improvement for her condition.”


    Zephyr chuckled. “Can she be discharged from the hospital now?”


    “Yes, she can!” Toph raised an eyebrow. “I’ve arranged a ce for her to stay and hired someone to


    take care of her. Renee will move out from the Thompsons soon and live with her mom. But the new


    house is close to the Thompsons, so it’ll be convenient for her to visit Uncle Nichs and Aunt Linda.”


    “Renee’s a good girl.” Cordelia looked at her son. “You better treat her well. She’s suffered so much


    since she was young!”


    “Don’t worry, mom!” Toph smirked as he put down his phone and went over to Cordelia. He started


    massaging her back and shoulders.


    “But don’t you think you should give your future daughter-inw a meeting gift?”


    Cordelia was taken aback. “What?”


    “Le Esse was given to Zuko, so my future wife should also have a family heirloom, right? Mom, you


    need to be fair!”


    “I know!” Cordelia patted her son’s head and smiled gently.


    They chatted for a while longer, but Cordelia and Zephyr went to their room to rest as drowsiness set


    in.


    Toph watched them walk away and gestured to his older brother, indicating for him toe to his room.


    Zuko followed.


    As soon as they entered the room, Toph leaned in mysteriously and whispered into Zuko’s ear.


    Zuko showed a hint of disgust and pressed a finger against Toph’s chest, gently pushing him away.


    “Give me some space.”


    “You’re really clueless!” Toph retorted with an equally disdainful look. “Didn’t you use to cuddle up to


    me when we were little? Have you forgotten about that?”


    “Get to the point!”


    Toph licked his lips and lowered his voice. “Abigail’s back!”


    Zuko’s expression froze, and all traces ofughter disappeared from his eyes.


    “The news is probably urate.” Toph stroked his chin. “Because our mother has been going to


    Imperial Media quite often recently… Think about it, with our mother’s status, would she personally


    intervene unless it’s a big-name celebrity?”


    Zuko furrowed his brows. “You mean Abigail… is a big-name celebrity?”


    “Bro, she’s the Alluring Gail!”


    Zuko’s gaze slightly darkened.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

    The nickname ‘Alluring Gail’ was given to Abigail by the public, even though Zuko couldn’t appreciate


    her beauty. In the eyes of countless fans and the media, Abigail was a born femme fatale—fair-


    skinned, beautiful face, long legs, and an hourss figure. She had perfect features and stunning body


    proportions.


    Coupled with her divine acting skills and the ability to immerse herself in any role in an instant, she


    gained widespread poprity at a young age. Numerous people praised and admired her, including the


    veteran actress Millie and the renowned director Trinity.


    However, since that incident, Abigail gradually faded out of the public eye…


    “I heard she’s nning aeback recently.” Toph cleared his throat twice. “Her agent has


    approached our mother several times, and she is also considering it. After all, Abigail is only 24, which


    is the best age for a female actress.


    “That incident between her and you… happened two years ago. Her exposure in the past two years


    hasn’t been as high as before, but reruns of her previous dramas still generate good ratings. So you


    can imagine her poprity!”


    Toph saw that Zuko still hadn’t reacted, so he nudged him with his elbow. “Bro, what do you think?”


    Zuko’s brows furrowed as he nced at him with a troubled heart. What else could he think?


    He and Abigail were practically strangers!


    What his younger brother said about “that incident” between her and him… What did it mean?


    “I have nothing to do with her whatsoever!” Zuko growled lowly.


    “I know.” Toph looked at him sympathetically. “But the gossip-loving masses don’t know that!”


    Zuko sighed heavily, resting his forehead on his hands as he sat on the sofa.


    That year, when he attended the royal event in Southeast Aciatic, Abigail, who had nothing to do with


    him, suddenly appeared in the hotel where he was staying.
