“Zinnia’s living with us now,” Jackson said simply. He didn’t explain more since Zinnia was right there. He didn’t want to upset her.

Yannis, who wasn’t dumb, got it right away. Something must’ve happened that made Zinnia unhappy while living with the Shaw family. After Jackson found out, he brought her to the Lynn residence.

Yannis glanced at Zinnia, who was happily chewing on a chicken leg, and thought she looked kind of silly and clueless.

“Zinnia, we’re heading back now. Say goodbye to Yannis and Perry,” Jackson said. He was happy to see her so full that her stomach was round. Seeing Zinnia enjoy herself made them all feel good.

“Bye,” Zinnia said, her face glowing with joy. She hadn’t eaten that well in a long time.

“Um… Zinnia, let’s swap contact info too. That way if I ever feel sick, I can come to you for help,” Yannis said, pulling out his phone.

Zinnia didn’t say no. She turned around and got her phone from her small bag. They added each other on WhatsApp. Yannis smiled even wider.

“Make sure you go home and sleep,” Zinnia said again, still frowning at him. She didn’t trust him to behave like a proper patient.
