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 regret the quarrel with Lena. After all, she’s a girl, and arguing with her was ungentlemanly!”

Just as he finished speaking, he tried to look fawningly at Lina.

“Besides, Lena saved Grandma Janine! It did feel a little ungrateful of me to treat her that way, right, Pammy?”

“Alright, we’re all family!” Chris laughed. “Look at Mr. Toph Hamerton here. Have you ever seen him so humble? Let’s turn the page on this incident, okay?”

Zuko wanted to say something but just patted Chris’ shoulder instead.

Chris continued. “Is Lena still at the Thompsons’? If so, we can go there now. Toph said he wants to admit his mistakes to her in person, haha!”

“Chris!” Toph shot him a look with an awkward chuckle.

“Hold on!” Zuko stopped them. “Lena… isn’t at the Thompsons’ anymore.”

“What?”

“She left.” Lina stood up and said calmly. “She left a letter for me and disappeared. I’m searching for her.”
