“Mom, dad, Dave, I’m really sorry for making you worry!” Lina’s emotions got the best of her, making her talkative.
To avoid scaring them, she decided to keep the part about being abducted onto the ship to herself.
“Actually, these past few days… um, I’ve been with Zuko the whole time! We just arrived in Southeast Aciatic
today.”
“Sis, did you go to that palace again?” Dave said with envy. “I saw the photos from your study tour last time. It
looked so beautiful there!”
“I’ll take you for a visit there when you get into university!” Zuko took the phone and chuckled softly.
Dave cheered excitedly on the other end.
Upon hearing Zuko’s voice, Jesse and Melissa felt more relieved, knowing that Lina was with him.
Melissa said, on the verge of tears and laughter, “Lina, how have you been lately? I’ve had a bad feeling these days

“Mom, you should take care of your health.” Lina spoke gently. “Don’t overwork yourself, whether at home or in the
store. Let Dave handle what needs to be done. He’s grown up now!”
“That’s right.” Jesse chimed in with a smile. “Let him take care of everything. He’s a boy, and he should take on
more responsibilities!
“But come back for a visit when you have the time, Lina. The old house and the supermarket are still waiting for
you!”
“Dad…”
“Dad knows. You’re now part of a wealthy family, and these things are not that important.” Jesse smiled innocently.
“But they’re a token from us, so you must accept them, understood?”
Lina’s eyes welled up with tears, and the urge to cry surged again.
Jesse lowered his voice. “By the way, uh… I know it’s inappropriate to say this, but remember, if you’re not
comfortable over there, we will always have a room for you here, understand?”
“Mm…”
“You old man, what nonsense are you spouting!?” Melissa punched him directly. “Lina, don’t listen to your father.
This man smokes so much his brain’s fried!”
“You old hag, am I talking nonsense? Weren’t you worried during that time too!?”
“Shut up!”
Even through the phone, Lina could imagine her parents causing a fuss, with Dave probably trying to break up the
fight by holding onto their father while their mother threw a few more punches.
She had felt like crying just a moment ago, but now she burst into laughter.
“Mom! Dad! Stop bickering.” Lina laughed cheerfully. “It’s my fault for not informing you in time this time. From now
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmon, I promise to call you every day!”
“Great!” Jesse replied.
However, Melissa said, “No need!”
They both spoke simultaneously, then fell silent, glancing at each other.
Jesse held Melissa’s hand and sighed softly.
He understood his wife’s feelings. She was sick and didn’t want to burden their daughter. Fortunately, their
daughter had already found her biological parents.
Despite that, Melissa was also afraid. She was afraid that Lina, in her ignorance, would clash with her biological
parents and upset them one day.
Therefore, it would be better to minimize their meetings in the future. It would be beneficial for everyone.
It was just that their daughter… probably wouldn’t understand Melissa’s heartfelt intentions.
“Mom?” Lina was puzzled. “What are you talking about? Why won’t you let me call you?”
