Toph recounted everything from the beginning, causing Zuko to squint slightly. “So, you’re saying you took Pammy’s mug?”

“Yes, I took it without anyone noticing, and I made sure to handle it carefully. The sample on it is definitely hers,” Toph confirmed.

“And then you sent the sample along with Uncle Nicholas’?” inquired Zuko.

“Yes!” Toph raised an eyebrow. “Getting his sample was easy. I sent it to our hospital, keeping everything within our control!”

Zuko contemplated for a moment. “You mentioned visiting Pammy at the hospital. Did she make any calls while she was there?”

Toph had a sudden realization. “Hmm? Was she calling someone in the hospital during her illness?”

Zuko nodded, his eyes filled with depth. “We can’t jump to conclusions before we find out the truth. Besides, she was adopted before returning. It’s possible she was calling her adoptive mother out of habit.”

“You’re always so cautious, bro!” Toph stretched his body and spoke casually. “What more is there to find out? The truth is right in front of us!”

“Our father taught us to be thorough, didn’t he?” Zuko stated matter-of-factly.

“Hehe… You take everything our father says so seriously!” Toph grinned, leaning closer to Zuko. “Did he also teach you to hide your true identity and pursue a romantic relationship?”

“You!” Zuko snarled.
