Their Villain, The Mogul's Beloved

Chapter 385

Zinnia had been living with Yannis for quite some time now, watching over him as he took his medicine every day.

Yannis really had no choice. If he hesitated even a little, those big eyes would look at him, silently saying, “You’re a grown man. Are you really scared of a little medicine?”

Her eyes were hard to ignore.

Another reason Yannis took his medicine was those worried comments Zinnia once made about his future. But he definitely wasn’t going to tell Raymond about that.

Yannis nodded without showing much emotion.

Yannis’s health looked better, and Raymond’s face lit up with happiness. “So, how about your insomnia? Is it still bothering you now?” Raymond asked.

“Much better now,” Yannis said with a small smile–meaning he still had it, but it was much better.

Yannis would be lying if he said he didn’t have insomnia. But since that night with Zinnia, whenever he got trapped in those dark, blood–drenched visions, her voice would always bring him back to reality.

This cycle kept going. He’d sink into those nightmares, then be pulled out again and again, all night until morning. During those short moments of relief, he could sleep a little.

Yannis hadn’t realized how much Zinnia meant to him. She could reach him in ways no one else could, even pulling him out of that darkness.

Even Roderick, who tried hypnosis for years, hoping to erase those memories, never managed to do that.

Whenever he remembered her soft voice saying, “I won’t leave you,” and that warm, comforting hug, Yannis’s heart would melt.

He thought, ‘Maybe I can’t ever forget those memories. But when I’m almost drowning in that inescapable past, Zinnia will reach out and pull me back.

“How did Zinnia treat you?” Raymond asked, really curious.

He knew how bad his insomnia had been. Even if it was not fully gone, any progress was a big step.
