The next day, Zinnia and the others were driven to school by Jackson.

Isaac walked her to her class first before heading off himself. As Zinnia entered the classroom, her classmates greeted her warmly. “Zinnia, good morning.”

“Good morning,” she replied. After a night, Zinnia had managed to adjust her mood.

“Zinnia, did you not sleep well last night? Your dark circles are really bad.” Ethan noticed as soon as she sat down.

Zinnia’s pale skin made any tiny blemish stand out starkly.

His comment drew the attention of Brian and Lydia as well.

“I went to bed late,” Zinnia explained.

After chatting with Jackson the previous night, Zinnia had started to feel better.

She’d known how Maelis and the others felt about her for a while, but actually facing the reality of being abandoned made

it tough emotionally.

After Jackson left, Zinnia had a rare bout of insomnia. She thought about many things, not knowing when she finally fell asleep. But by then, she had only thought, ‘All ties with the Shaw family are severed.

‘From now on, I won’t let the Shaw family’s affairs bother me. They won’t matter to me anymore.’

Early that morning, Zinnia noticed her dark circles and ended up worrying Sofia and the others for quite a while.

These days, young people staying up late is common, so no one probed further. Ethan continued the conversation with another topic. “Zinnia, did you finish the homework?”

At the mention of homework, Zinnia’s expression froze with worry. “No.”

She pulled out her workbook from her bag and barely any questions were answered. She’d finished her language arts assignments, but hadn’t even touched the math or physics questions-they were totally beyond her.
