Chapter 1305


    Zuko quickly grabbed his phone to call Lina. But he worried that a few words might not adequately


    convey the situation, potentially causing her unnecessary worry. After a moment’s thought, he


    remembered someone more suitable and made a call.


    “Chris, head over to the Thompsons right away. Toph’s emotions are unstable, and it’s best to take


    Lena somewhere else for a while…”


    “Huh?” Chris was confused.


    Zuko didn’t have time for a detailed exnation. “Just do as I say!”


    “Okay, I’ll go!”


    Chris acknowledged and rushed to the Thompsons, but he realized he was toote upon arrival.


    Amotion wasing from the courtyard.


    “What do you mean by this?”


    “You’ve gone too far! Stay away from me, Renee, and Aunt Kaitlyn in the future! We don’t need you to


    guard us like we’re thieves!


    “Lena, answer me! What are you trying to do?”


    Chris was taken aback. It was Toph’s loud voice.


    Toph was yelling at Lena, who stood to the side without saying a word, her expression still indifferent.


    Chris felt his heart clench. He sometimes disliked Lena’s personality as well. No matter how excited or


    furious others got, she remained expressionless and silent. It was as if she didn’t belong in this world.


    She seemed like an emotionless wooden figurine. The only times she showed any emotion were when


    she saw Lina, Nichs, and Linda.


    However…


    Chris watched her stand in front of Toph,pletely silent. He felt ufortable, so he took a few


    steps forward and stood in front of her!


    Caught off guard, Lena froze as Chris pulled her behind him. Being petite and frail, she barely reached


    Chris’ shoulders, and with him blocking her, she remainedpletely hidden.


    Her heart jolted as she realized no one had ever stood in front of her like this before. Discreetly


    ncing up at him, she took in his broad back, outstretched arms, and strong, tan forearm with tight

    He resembled a hawk, while she felt like a little bird hiding under his wing. Her heart skipped beats, and


    her cheeks flushed hot involuntarily.

    “Chris, what are you doing?” Toph’s surprise was evident. “Get out of my way!”


    “Calm down, Toph,” Chris addressed him calmly. “There might be a misunderstanding between you and


    Lena. She—”


    “What misunderstanding? I think she’s up to no good!” Toph was agitated, not willing to listen, his


    emotions taking over.


    “If I’ve offended you in the past, Lena, I apologize. Can’t I make amends? And why do you keep fixating


    on Aunt Kaitlyn? She’s Renee’s mother and will be my mother-inw in the future!”


    Lena finally spoke with a smirk. “Is that so? Then, please ask your mother-inw to keep her distance


    from the Thompsons!”


    “You…”


    “I’m not targeting anyone, and I do hope Ms. Renee finds happiness.” Lena’s voice turned sharp, her


    clear eyes seeing through everything.


    “But if anyone intends to harm the Thompsons, I’m willing to fight them to the end, even if it costs me


    my life!”


    Toph widened his eyes, breathing heavily. He roared, “You’re insane! You’re utterly unreasonable!”


    “Toph!”


    Before Lena could say anything, a stern voice interjected.


    Chris’ brows furrowed slightly, anger flickering in his eyes as he stared at Toph.


    “Toph, be mindful of your tone and choice of words!”


    “You…”
