This time, the "overtime" lasted until late into the night.Lina struggled to get up from the couch, picked up her scattered clothes from the floor, and felt sore all over her body."Let me help you."Zuko wrapped his arms around her from behind with a satisfied smile. Lina felt his warm chest and his heart beating right along hers against her bare back.She did not dare to let him help her. She quickly broke free and put on her clothes.Zuko smiled and got dressed as well. His hand instinctively reached into his pocket, but... there were no more cigarettes.He finally understood now what his father meant by the "cigarette money" he used to earn.Lina forced herself to finish reviewing the last bit of information, and then Zuko took her home.-The next day. They slept until almost 8:00 a.m., only to be awakened by their phones."Is it your phone?""It's yours...""Hmm?"They woke up, realizing that their phones were vibrating simultaneously.One was from Lina's secreta

Zuko looked at Nicholas again. "By the way, Dad, my parents have a gift for you. It's a bottle of fine wine. It's in my car, and they nagged me to hand it to you. How about you come with us to my car?"Nicholas and Linda agreed with enthusiasm.As Zuko led them out of the living room, he exchanged a glance with Lina.She understood and continued chatting with Kaitlyn."Regarding what we were talking about earlier..." Kaitlyn stopped briefly, speaking in a hushed tone. "Lina, that girl Lena who lives in your house... she's frequently near the study area. She even had a disagreement with me about it recently. Does that not strike you as odd?""Lenny?""Mom!" Renee sounded a bit anxious. "What are you saying?""It's just a casual chat!" Kaitlyn chuckled. "I always think these things get out because of someone from within. Our own family wouldn't betray us, but you can't be sure about outsiders!""Mom!" Renee looked at her mom, then apologized to Lina. "Lina, my mom didn't mean it

Lina's eyes were downcast, and she did not respond.Zuko remained silent as well, sitting quietly on the side."Bro, Pammy!" Toph appeared quite aggrieved. "Do you really have to be this unforgiving? I genuinely came here today to apologize."Chris pinched Toph from behind, prompting him to quickly blurt out, "I shouldn't have acted so thoughtlessly. I shouldn't have repeatedly caused trouble for Lena, and I definitely shouldn't have... Shouldn't have caused such a scene at Uncle Nicholas' place!"I'm sorry!"With that, Toph slapped his legs together, stood at attention, and performed a formal 90-degree bow!Zuko looked at him and smiled faintly."If it weren't for Chris dragging you here, would you have even come?"Toph scratched his head bashfully.Chris was not just anyone. Only under his militarized pressure did Toph obediently come to apologize."Even though Chris gave me a bit of a lesson..." Toph began to explain, "I genuinely came here to apologize! Actually, I do reg

Renee dialed the number, and a hoarse male voice came from the other end. "Kaitlyn, we didn't mean it. That stubborn girl is just too hard to handle! She's really tough!"But no worries. Despite Lena's capabilities, she's trapped right now... There are dangerous snakes and fierce beasts in that forest. She won't make it!"Renee held her hand over her mouth, almost stopping herself from screaming.At that moment, Kaitlyn's voice called from the living room. "Renee! Renee? What are you doing?"Renee almost fell off her chair but managed to note down the number. Sneaking into Kaitlyn's room as she passed, she placed the phone back, then casually went downstairs to the living room.Her heart raced well into the night.Kaitlyn had forbidden her from leaving the house or using her phone, except for Toph's calls. No one else was permitted to get in touch.Renee had grown to dislike this stifling life.After confirming Kaitlyn was asleep that night, she turned on her computer to trace t

Lena felt like she was trapped in a nightmarish place, surrounded by horrible creatures that seemed to be tearing at her body. The pain was excruciating, and she wanted to scream, but her voice felt stifled.After what seemed like an eternity, she sensed a faint coolness, and she managed to move her lips, finally mustering a few words. "Water... Water..."Then, someone dampened a cotton swab with water and gently touched it to her lips. It brought relief, and her intense feelings of agitation and anxiety began to ease. She struggled to open her eyes."You're awake?" A familiar voice reached her.Lena's heart raced. Her awareness gradually returned, and her surroundings started becoming clearer. "It's... you?"The man before her appeared somewhat different from the Chris she knew. Her image of Chris was that of a charming and honest person with a strong, rugged face projecting a tough and sturdy demeanor.But now, his eye sockets looked hollow, dark circles ringed his eyes, and hi
