Chapter 1536


    “Huh?” Lina had yet to react when she was pressed down on the bed by Zuko. With a nket covering


    them, they began their progress for a mini version…


    –


    Chris went to Lena’s ce early in the morning after buying groceries.


    Lena was enjoying a rare weekend, still in bed. Chris stood at the bedroom door and watched the sun


    rays shine on her through the window, making her look like she was gilded. Her lips were slightly parted


    as if she was murmuring in a dream.


    Chris smiled and ced the groceries in the kitchen. He then approached Lena and gently kissed her


    forehead. Lena slowly opened her eyes and nuzzled into his embrace like a cat.


    “Why did youe so early?” Lena asked.


    “Alexander mentioned he’sing for lunch, so I got the ingredients early,” Chris replied.


    Lena chuckled. “nning to show off your cooking skills to him?”


    Chris grinned. “Of course! I want him to see how capable his brother-inw is!”


    Lena beamed with happiness, and the gloomy days were finally over. Today was a new day.


    Lena being warm and safe in Chris’ arms was making him lose control. He held her tightly, and his


    hands started to wander, but he didn’t dare to be too bold, just gently caressing her waist.


    This made Lena feel ticklish, and she pushed him away, blushing uncontrobly.


    Chris said, leaning closer, “Lenny… How about… I just stay here from now on?”


    “Huh?”


    “I won’t take advantage of you,” Chris said seriously. “I just think you’re not good at taking care of


    yourself. If I live with you, it will be convenient for me to take care of you. And when Alexanderes


    over for meals, I can cook for you guys!”

    This excuse was a bit clumsy, making Lenaugh while blushing.


    “Speaking of Alexander…” Chris said softly, “That little guy folded many paper cranes and wants to


    give them to N.”


    “I got a message from Mr. Chriss a few days ago.” Lena stretched. “He said he won’t be back for a


    while.”


    “That’s not right.” Chris frowned. “Zuko and Toph told me that he didn’t actually take his wife and child


    abroad. He’s been staying in Centrolis the whole time, seemingly looking for someone!”


    Lena widened her eyes, puzzled. “Looking for someone? Even if he’s looking for someone, he doesn’t


    need to avoid us and lie about going on vacation! It doesn’t make sense!”


    “That’s the strange part.” Chris sighed, unable to figure out the reason either. “Maybe he’s facing some


    difficulties?”


    Just then, the doorbell urgently rang.


    Chris hurriedly opened the door and saw Alexander panting heavily.


    “Why are you here now? Weren’t you supposed toe at noon?” Chris asked.


    Alexander didn’t answer and rushed inside.


    Seeing his frantic appearance, Lena worriedly asked, “Alexander, what’s wrong?”


    “I… I saw N!” Alexander gasped for breath.


    Chris and Lena were taken aback.


    “It’s really… It’s N!” Alexander’s gaze was sad. “S-She’s in the hospital with very short hair, and her


    face is extremely pale!”


    Chris realized something was wrong and grabbed Alexander’s shoulder. “How do you know? Have you


    seen her?”


    “Yes!” Alexander nodded vigorously. “I saw her… at the hospital!”


    Chris still had questions. “Why did you go to the hospital?”


    Alexander’s throat felt dry. He drank arge ss of water and slowly began to exin the whole story.


    Initially, he hadn’t witnessed the scene at the hospital himself.


    One night, he was jolted awake by a nightmare. The N in his dream matched the description he had


    given earlier. He had woken up drenched in cold sweat, shivering, unable to fall back asleep. The same


    dream continued to haunt him.


    In the dream, N appeared helpless, as if she wanted to speak but couldn’t.


    Alexander’s curiosity grew stronger, and he couldn’t resist going to the hospital to learn more. The


    oue was surprising.


    “In the end, I really saw her,” Alexander said in a hushed tone. “At that moment, she was seated in a


    wheelchair, with a nurse pushing her. I didn’t dare approach her. I followed them until they reached her


    ward’s door. I called her softly, and she turned to look at me. It was exactly like in my dream!”


    Chris and Lena were in disbelief after hearing that. Maybe some mysterious force was guiding these


    two children. Alexander had saved N once—would he save her again this time?


    Alexander turned to Lena. “Sis, N is sick. Why didn’t her parents tell us?”


    Chris recalled what Toph had mentioned about the search. Given Alexander’s description, N’s


    condition seemed quite serious. Could it be that the person Elijah was searching for could cure her


    illness?


    “Don’t worry for now,” Lena reassured Alexander. “Maybe they don’t want outsiders to know about her


    illness. Let your brother-inw find out the details first, and then we can decide what to do.”


    “Okay…” Alexander agreed and suddenly realized something. “Wait! Who are you talking about?”


    At the same time, Chris stared at Lena with wide eyes.


    Lena smiled, maintaining herposure. “Your brother-inw.”


    Chris and Alexander were momentarily stunned before reacting differently.


    Chris was overjoyed and nearly jumped up, his excitement leaving him speechless.


    On the other hand, Alexander rested his chin on his hands and observed Chris thoughtfully. After a


    while, he nodded with a reflective hum.


    Although he quite liked Chris, his sister held a special ce in his heart. If Chris wanted to be his


    brother-inw… Well, there would still be tests ahead!


    –


    At the Chriss estate.


    Elijah and Kasey sat in the top-floor reception room of the vi. This room was spacious and secluded,


    reserved for special asions within the vast Chriss estate. It was used when Elijah hosted important


    business partners or when Harold had confidential discussions with his campaign team during


    elections.


    Today, they anxiously awaited the arrival of a particr individual.


    Suddenly, knocks resounded through the room, and a woman was ushered in.


    “Sir, Madam, this is her,” said the subordinate who brought the woman inside.


    Elijah and Kasey’s hearts skipped a beat.


    Kasey leaned forward. Her grip on the sofa tightened so much that her knuckles turned white as she


    fixed her gaze on the woman. After a moment of astonishment, she asked skeptically, “You’re… truly


    Elijah’s sister?”


    The woman nodded calmly.


    “Then why are you wearing a mask?” Kasey asked.
