Zuko smiled. "Thanks, Uncle Nicholas."
Nicholas tidied his tie, looking proud. Linda then dragged him away, holding his ear.
Zuko knocked on the door, but there was no response at first. He became worried and was about to ask the maid for a spare key when the door opened.
Lina stood in front of him with her eyes downcast. She looked thinner, with dark circles under her eyes, but she didn't seem dispirited.
"Lina..." Zuko felt a pang of heartache and gently caressed her soft cheek, asking, "Is there anything else I can do for you?"
Lina smiled and leaned into his embrace.
During this time, Zuko had already done a lot for her. While Lina had been cooperating with the police investigation, he had been outside waiting for her. When Lina locked herself in her room, he had been analyzing the doubts and finding evidence.
If Lina asked what else he could do for her...
Lina said, "I'd like to take a walk. Would you go with me?"
"Of course!" Zuko was eager to do that. "Where would you like to go?"
She thought for a while but could not think of anywhere at all. In reality, she had been feeling down. Even if she had good psychological coping skills, it was impossible to act as if nothing had happened in a situation like this.
"I-I just want to go all out and have fun," she whispered. "As long as I can forget about this annoying matter."
"That's all?" Zuko chuckled, took her hand, and led her out. He said clearly, "I'm on it!"
-
After making a few phone calls, Zuko drove Lina to a hilltop. She didn't recognize this place but followed him through the bushes and discovered a hidden paradise in an open space. There was actually a helicopter stationed there!
The silver-gray helicopter glistened in the sunlight.
Zuko smiled as he explained, "This is my helipad. It's a gift from my mother when I graduated from university."
At that moment, several people walked over, wearing professional uniforms and nodding slightly in front of Zuko.
