Toph asked in a low voice, "Are you really sure that Lina is Pammy?"
"Yes," Zuko replied with confidence.
Toph knew his brother always spoke with absolute certainty.
"Previously, when Lina went to Southeast Aciatic, there was a medical report at Uncle Carter's place," said Zuko.
"What?" Toph exclaimed in surprise.
"It's quite a coincidence. A few days ago, Uncle Nicholas underwent a medical examination at the joint hospital due to work pressure and burnout. I secretly arranged for a sample of his test to be kept, and..."
Toph listened in astonishment from the other end of the line. "So, they're biological father and daughter?"
"99.99%," Zuko calmly stated. "Do you think any pair of non-biological father and daughter would yield such a result?"
Toph remained stunned for a while. After regaining his senses, he marveled at the unpredictability of fate, the wonders of destiny, and the arrangements of life.
After hanging up, Zuko contemplated telling Lina first or talking to Jesse and Melissa.
Just then, Lina entered the supermarket listlessly.
"What's wrong?" Zuko hurried over and took out the most expensive drink from the refrigerator.
Lina glanced at him and accepted the drink with a helpless smile. "This is the most expensive one! If you keep doing business like this, we might as well close up the shop!"
"I think we can." Zuko spoke earnestly. "Close the shop, and it'll be just the two of us. Then, I can do something I love—"
"Zuko!"
Lina's face turned red. She hated it when he wore such a serious expression while saying frivolous words.
Zuko laughed and hugged her waist, looking at her tenderly. "You look unhappy. What happened?"
"I'm not unhappy, just a little worried," Lina said softly. "My mom needs to do a medical examination before she's discharged from the hospital, and we'll receive the report today."
