Zuko quickly grabbed his phone to call Lina. But he worried that a few words might not adequately convey the situation, potentially causing her unnecessary worry. After a moment's thought, he remembered someone more suitable and made a call.
"Chris, head over to the Thompsons right away. Toph's emotions are unstable, and it's best to take Lena somewhere else for a while..."
"Huh?" Chris was confused.
Zuko didn't have time for a detailed explanation. "Just do as I say!"
"Okay, I'll go!"
Chris acknowledged and rushed to the Thompsons, but he realized he was too late upon arrival.
A commotion was coming from the courtyard.
"What do you mean by this?"
"You've gone too far! Stay away from me, Renee, and Aunt Kaitlyn in the future! We don't need you to guard us like we're thieves!
"Lena, answer me! What are you trying to do?"
Chris was taken aback. It was Toph's loud voice.
Toph was yelling at Lena, who stood to the side without saying a word, her expression still indifferent.
Chris felt his heart clench. He sometimes disliked Lena's personality as well. No matter how excited or furious others got, she remained expressionless and silent. It was as if she didn't belong in this world.
She seemed like an emotionless wooden figurine. The only times she showed any emotion were when she saw Lina, Nicholas, and Linda.
However...
Chris watched her stand in front of Toph, completely silent. He felt uncomfortable, so he took a few steps forward and stood in front of her!
