After dinner, Zinnia slipped upstairs to make pills. Sofia was full of energy now, but constant anger wasn’t good for anyone. Zinnia decided to whip up more pills for Sofia.

“Jackson…” Zinnia murmured, her gaze fixed on Jackson as he climbed the stairs beside her. She bit her lip gently and called out.

“Huh?” Jackson turned, surprise and joy lighting up his eyes.

Zinnia hadn’t talked to Jackson much since arriving days ago. Now, hearing Zinnia call his name, he was over the moon. Suddenly, he wanted to tackle that stack of paperwork upstairs. That one word made him feel unstoppable.

“Why’d you give me this toy?” Zinnia asked, clutching the stuffed animal. She’d hardly let it go since she got it.

“You gave me the essence oil, so I wanted to give you something too,” Jackson said, chuckling softly. He was a bit thrown by her question. Then he added, “Plus, when I saw the toy at the store, I immediately thought you’d love it.”

He wasn’t great with girls, but his friends said they loved cute stuff. Zinnia was a girl, so he figured she’d like it.

“I love it. Thanks, Jackson,” Zinnia said, hugging the toy tighter. A warm feeling spread through her. Jackson bought the toy just because she loved it.

“Don’t mention it,” Jackson said softly. He really wanted to touch her hair. So, he gently messed up her silky locks. “Remember, I promised to look after you?”

Her hair was so soft. Jackson felt a fierce urge to protect her. “You’re safe with me,” he said firmly. “No one’s gonna hurt you again.”
