Married a Secret Billionaire by Breaking Wave

Zuko was doubtful as he listened to Toph.

The inpatient department?

Pamela had just returned to the Thompsons not long ago and was still unfamiliar with everything. Was she coming

to the hospital for her own medical appointment or to visit someone else?

If she was visiting someone, who could be so important to her besides her biological parents, Nicholas and Linda?

Zuko’s gaze darkened, a hint of coldness flickering in his gaze.

“I’ll stop here for now…” Toph’s injured leg was already inconvenient, so chasing after someone was even more

difficult. “I’ll catch up to her soon. You can rest assured that I’ll make her get a DNA test this time!”

“Alright, be careful,” Zuko replied before quickly hanging up the phone.

Despite his injured leg, Toph was physically strong, and the injury did not hinder him much. Pamela, being a girl,

walked slowly with small steps, so he quickly caught up to her.

Pamela appeared somewhat panicked and alert, frequently turning her head to look around. Each time she turned,

Toph had to hide behind a wall or hide his face behind another patient.

They continued like this, keeping some distance until they reached the third floor of the inpatient department.

By now, Toph had quietly approached her from behind…

“Ah!” Pamela was suddenly startled, her face pale as she uttered a piercing scream.

Toph was also taken aback, causing him to lose his balance and almost fall to the ground.

Pamela extended her hand to help him, but it froze in mid-air. Her expression turned extremely unpleasant, and a

complex emotion flickered in her eyes. Eventually, she stepped aside, pressing her back against the wall, still visibly

shaken by the fright.

When she habitually turned her head to see if there was anyone, she caught sight of a figure sneaking up behind

her, and that person’s hand seemed to be reaching for her hair!

Fortunately, she reacted in time, but it was a close call…

Pamela took deep breaths, her eyes fixed on Toph. “You… Were you following me?”

“Huh?” Toph tightened his grip on the crutch. He had nearly fallen just now, aggravating his twisted ankle, and it

was now throbbing in pain.

This girl did not even try to help him!

There must be something fishy going on.

He regained his composure, forced out a smile, and spoke in a naturally calm tone. “Do you think I can still follow

anyone in my current state? I injured my foot and came to the hospital today for a check-up… By the way, why are

you here? This seems to be the inpatient department…”

Toph approached her, carefully observing her face. “Pammy, are you feeling unwell?”

Pamela avoided his gaze and kept her hands behind her back, picking at the wall.

There was a certain aura emanating from Toph that seemed to have struck a chord deep within her, causing her

heart to beat faster.

“No.” Pamela’s voice was soft. “I… I took the wrong path.”

“The wrong path?”

“Yes…” She lowered her eyelids, anxiety and fear evident on her face. “Please move aside, I need to go home! If I

don’t go back soon, my parents will be worried!”

“It’s alright.” Toph smiled and took out his phone, handing it to her. “You can use mine to make Aunt Linda. Let

them know that you’re with me, and they’ll feel at ease!”

Pamela looked at the phone but did not reach out to take it.

Toph kept moving forward, and she kept sidestepping. She was trying to avoid any opportunity that could link her to

Toph. She was even cautious about using a phone, taking precautions to the extreme.

Toph became even more convinced that there was something wrong with this Pammy.

“Ouch!” He looked around and suddenly leaned to one side.

Pamela looked at him and asked softly, “What’s wrong with you?”

“I feel a lot of pain in my foot, Pammy. I can’t walk… Can you lend me a hand?”

Pamela hesitated but did not extend a hand.

Toph struggled to hold onto his crutch, nonchalantly smiling at her. “Pammy, it seems like you’re afraid of contact

with others, huh?”

Pamela’s expression changed, and her eyes dimmed.

“Is it related to your experiences over the years? Pammy, I’m considered your family too. If you hadn’t been taken

away back then, we would’ve grown up together…”

Toph began to appeal to her emotions. “If you have any difficulties that you can’t tell Uncle Nicholas and Aunt Linda,

you can treat me as someone to confide in!”

Pamela tightly bit her lip, looking nervous.

Toph noticed that her eyes occasionally glanced toward a room at the end of the corridor… Perhaps the person

inside could unravel this secret.

“Pammy.” He lowered his voice, getting closer to her, almost able to hear her heartbeat. “As long as you’re willing

to speak up, I promise not to tell anyone. This will be our secret… okay?”

Pamela’s eyes suddenly turned red, and they were filled with tears as she desperately shook her head.

“Pammy?” Toph was taken aback.

A powerful force suddenly grabbed his arm then!

Toph’s heart skipped a beat as he turned to look, only to find that it was Melvin holding onto him!

“What’s wrong, Mr. Toph?” Melvin chuckled. “For a foot injury, you should go to the orthopedic department. What

are you doing in the inpatient department?”

“Heh, Uncle Melvin.” Toph forced a smile. “Why are you asking me? Pammy’s also in the inpatient department!”

Melvin’s expression darkened, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. He soon smiled as if nothing was wrong and

explained, “Pammy missed some classes. Now that she’s back in Centrolis, she wants to apply for a medical

university. Coincidentally, there’s a doctor I’m familiar with in this hospital, so I brought her here to consult with

him.”

“Is that so?” Toph smirked. “But as far as I know, you haven’t been in Centrolis for long, Uncle Melvin. And this

hospital belongs to my grandfather. Well, how come you have acquaintances here?”

“Why? Do you not believe me?”

“Of course not.”

“That’s good.” Melvin smiled. “I’m not successful, but I’ve been working in the business world for these years and

have accumulated some connections. It’s normal for me to know someone in this hospital.

Melvin continued, grabbing Pamela’s wrist. “Toph, I’ll take Pammy to find that doctor to have a chat! Oh, by the

way, when I arrived, I saw your butler looking for you everywhere!”

Melvin did not allow Toph to speak and politely smiled before leaving with Pamela.

Toph looked at their backs… Pamela seemed to be leaving reluctantly. It also seemed like there were many things

hidden in her eyes.
