Lina froze as she recognized the license plate—it belonged to Gia's car. She bit her lips, ready to confront her, but the car quickly drove away, turning a corner and disappearing.
Zuko heard the noise and rushed outside. When he saw Lina drenched, he felt both distressed and guilty. "I should have picked you up from the hospital!"
"It's alright." Lina chuckled lightly. "Who would have expected a car to appear out of nowhere in broad daylight?"
"Did you see the license plate?"
Lina's gaze dimmed, and she whispered, "It was Gia's car."
Zuko was startled, finding it strange. Was Gia trying to target Lina? Was splashing water on her worth making such a fuss about? There must be another reason behind it!
"Zuko, I really don't understand... Why would she treat me like this?" Although Lina was not as heartbroken as before, this incident still cast a shadow on her and left her unable to let go. She had treated Gia sincerely as a friend, but it all seemed to be wasted.
"Don't think too much about it." Zuko looked at the soaked woman in front of him. "Go back, take a hot shower, change into clean clothes, and then..."
Then, he suddenly froze.
When Lina turned around, her wet clothes clung to her body, revealing a glimpse of her clean waist. Zuko's heart seemed to skip a beat as he stared at her in a daze.
"Zuko?" Lina turned to look at him. "Why are you standing there like that?"
Only then did Zuko come to his senses.
This was the purpose behind Gia intentionally splashing water on Lina!
"Zuko?"
"Oh, what's wrong?" He regained his composure and gently took her small hand as he smiled at her. "Let's go back quickly. After you change into clean clothes, have a good sleep at home. I'll go to the hospital and take care of your mother for you."
