“That’s right! You’re so smart, brother!” Toph’s eyes lit up, and he almost threw himself at Zuko, wanting to give
him a hug.
However, Zuko looked at him with a frown and lifted his hand to block him with a look of disgust on his face.
“What!” The second grandson of the Hamertons felt wronged. “We always hugged when we were young. Did you
forget that?”
“What nonsense are you talking about!?” Zuko glared at him. “Stay away from me!”
“I don’t wanna!” Toph grinned and kept trying to shove himself toward his brother.
It was inevitable that the brothers would end up in a fight, which made Renee laugh. Only then did Zuko realize it.
This bastard did it to his brother just to make his girlfriend happy! Did he put on an act for her?
“Okay, stop it!” Zuko asserted his authority as the elder brother. “The most important thing now is to run the test at

Toph and Renee looked at each other, smiled, and nodded. The three of them headed to the hospital.
…
It took less than two days to get the test results since they had submitted the sample. On that day, Toph asked to
meet Zuko at the same cafe and showed him the test report as soon as they met.
“Look at the number, bro!”
Zuko flipped directly to the last page: Similarity – 0%.
He was stunned, his heart sinking.
“I’m sorry, Zuko…” Renee felt guilty. “It’s my fault. I thought Gia was Pamela. I-I should’ve gotten more information
from my dad…”
“We’re not blaming you!” Toph quickly interjected. “Renee, without you, it would have been impossible for us to get
this far!”
“That’s right.” Zuko chuckled. “Now we can at least prove that Gia isn’t Pammy.”
“Then how did she get Pammy’s DNA to my dad?” Renee asked.
Zuko’s expression instantly changed, and he and Toph locked eyes, realizing something simultaneously.
Gia was not Pammy, but she had her DNA sample. Thus, the real Pammy must be someone around Gia, someone
whom Gia could easily approach!
Could everything really be… what he thought?
Zuko stopped breathing and clenched his fists tightly, determination flashing deep in his eyes.
Toph asked cautiously, “Bro, maybe you should check with… sister-in-law?”
Zuko suddenly lifted his eyes to look at him.
At that moment, Lina walked over with a bag of snacks.

extra cute. “Toph, Renee, our supermarket is right there! These are the new snacks. Try them!”
Toph quickly responded and took the snacks, smiling at Zuko. “Bro, isn’t it your ‘working hour’ now? Nobody is
watching the store while the two of you are out!”
“Don’t worry. I’m just delivering these snacks. I’m going back right away.” Lina waved, still smiling. “You guys carry
on. I won’t be a bother!”
“Lina!” Zuko suddenly stood up, his lips moving as if he had many things to say that were stuck in his throat.
Meanwhile, an awkward atmosphere settled as Toph nervously watched the two of them.
Zuko suddenly grabbed Lina’s hand. “I… I want to go back with you.”
Although she thought he was acting strange, she didn’t think too much into it. Instead, she advised with a smile,
“You should stay and chat with them. There aren’t many customers in the store today. It’s good enough to have me
there.”
“Lina, I…”
