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!
