Married a Secret Billionaire

Toph said, “Aunt Kaitlyn was discharged two days ago and looked much better. But she’s behaving differently toward Renee now. She pushed Renee away when she tried to help.

“After coming home, Renee wanted to unpack and get close to her, but Aunt Kaitlyn coldly rejected her. It’s like she doesn’t want Renee around at all. It’s not the same Aunt Kaitlyn we knew.”

Zuko and Lina exchanged worried glances. They had seen Kaitlyn before and knew she was kind-hearted and gentle, even when she was sick. This sudden change in her behavior was indeed strange.

Toph continued, speaking softly. “Yesterday, she scolded Renee until she cried. Renee cooked for her, but Aunt Kaitlyn got angry because the food was mildly flavored. With her kidney disease, she can’t handle heavy flavors.”

Toph added, “I tried to persuade Renee to come with me today, but she insisted on staying with her mom to take care of her.”

Lina comforted, “Don’t worry too much. Falling sick repeatedly and undergoing major surgery might have changed her mentality. It’s natural for her to act differently now.”

Zuko agreed. “Lina is right. Let’s not stress about it. Aunt Kaitlyn is Renee’s mom, and she needs our care.”

Toph nodded, and they all returned to enjoying their afternoon tea.

Meanwhile, Zuko gazed thoughtfully toward the distant sea.
