Betty pushed Anne out of nowhere. No one knew what had happened before that. The doctor explained that Anne was already in a dazed state before the fall.

The impact, combined with insuflicient blood supply to her brain, caused a blood clot to form, compressing her nerves and leaving her unable to wake up.

The doctors had considered surgery, but the compressed nerves were in an extremely dangerous location. A single misstep could lead to brain death, with no chance of recovery. They were searching for a safer approach, but hadn’t found one yet.

Anne’s father, Daniel, made a public announcement in elite circles: anyone with connections or means to cure Anne would be handsomely rewarded by the Carson family.

Zinnia frowned as she listened to Anne’s condition. She thought, ‘A hematoma compressing the nerves? Prolonged compression could cause brain damage. If it’s not cleared in time, the pressure might rupture blood vessels, making recovery even harder.’

Zinnia decided to find a chance to visit Anne. They were not really close, but she just couldn’t stand seeing an innocent person get dragged into all this.

That afternoon, when Zinnia got home, she didn’t see Yannis. He had already texted her to inform her that he had been very busy and wouldn’t be back for the next couple of days. But he said he would have someone bring her dinner.

Zinnia had intended to give Yannis the herbal pills, but since he wasn’t home, she decided to wait until he returned.

The days drifted by, and before she knew it, the weekend had arrived. Zinnia still hadn’t run into Yannis. He’d been swamped lately, leaving her no chance to give him the herbal pills she’d prepared.

Still, every night without fail, Yannis had someone deliver dinner to Zinnia, always her favorite meat dishes. She couldn’t help but feel a little pampered.

As soon as the school break started, Sofia asked Zinnia to go back to the Lynn residence for dinner.
