Chapter 1213


    Zuko furrowed his brow. “The birthmark on you? The crescent-shaped one?”


    “Yeah.” Lina smiled sheepishly. “I didn’t tell you earlier because I was a bit worried… Aren’t men usually


    against girls getting stic surgery?”


    “Not at all.” Zuko gently stroked her hair. “Men have a high level of eptance for the women they


    love. But why did you remove the birthmark?”


    Lina paused for a moment and spoke softly. “It was Gia who convinced me to have it removed. She


    said that… the mark on my waist wasn’t attractive and affected my appearance in certain clothes.

    “To be honest, I was quite foolish back then.” She chuckled. “I mean, how often will I wear outfits that


    expose my waist and stomach? Does it really matter if it’s aesthetically pleasing!? But I got carried


    away and listened to her and had the birthmark removed.”


    Zuko’s gaze darkened.


    Gia had been in contact with Melvin for a long time, so her actions were definitely part of a scheme—


    and the scheme was clear. It was to prevent Lina from returning to the Thompsons!


    “Why are you lost in thought?” Lina waved her hand in front of him and smiled sweetly. “Are you


    hungry? Let’s eat together!”


    “It’s okay, I’m not hungry.” Zuko felt sad for the naive and innocent girl and gently embraced her.Books

    The security guard downstairs called to inform them that someone from the Hamertons had brought


    medicine. Lina asked them toe up. However, she was taken aback when she saw the table filled


    with various types of medicine.


    “These…”


    “These were all gathered by Mr. Zuko,” the butler said with a smile.


    Zuko looked down and realized that he had identally sent the voice message to a group chat in his


    haste…


    “Mr. Zuko, is there anything else you need?”


    “Well… it’s sufficient.” Zuko pursed his lips.


    Thetest medicines would be sent from Southeast Aciatic every year. There were also Zennie and


    Seth… so the Hamertons were never short of medicine.


    The old butler respectfully left the room.


    Zuko casually picked up a bottle from the table and nearly stumbled upon seeing thebel.


    “What’s wrong?” Lina approached curiously.


    Zuko quickly hid the bottle behind him, but she still noticed it.


    “Ult-Alpha?” Lina was puzzled. “What is this?”


    Zuko forced a smile, unsure of how to respond.


    Why did Toph find the pills their grandfather gave their father?


    “Oh, this… This…” Zuko quickly snatched it away, stuttering and unable toe up with a reasonable


    exnation. “This is a type of pill… from Southeast Aciatic that can cure various ailments!”


    “Really?” Lina suddenly remembered Jesse. “My dad used to feel pain in his waist, and you treated him


    with acupuncture. Can he take this?”


    Zuko looked horrified in an instant.


    His phone buzzed. It was a text from Toph.


    [Bro, the pills aren’t expired yet. Feel free to use them!]


    There was even an emoji with its tongue sticking out at the end.


    Zuko’s head started buzzing along with his phone, and his blood pressure shot up. He struggled to type


    a response.
