Yannis listened as Zinnia listed all her discomforts, then tapped her forehead helplessly. “Now you realize you’re unwell?”

“You’re still hitting me,” Zinnia murmured weakly, barely able to do more than roll her eyes at him.

‘What a meanie,‘ Zinnia thought. I’m already feeling so awful, and he still taps me on the head. When he was sick before, I had taken such good care of him.‘

She shot Yannis a look, but it was utterly harmless, more like a petulant pout than any real threat. After so long without speaking, her voice came out soft and whispery, making Yannis‘ heart melt with tenderness.

“Drink the soup first. Then I’ll get the doc to check on you,” Yannis said, eyeing Zinnia’s pout. He grabbed the bowl of onion soup from the nightstand, stirred it to cool, then held a spoonful to her lips.

Zinnia’s lips just brushed the spoon as she mumbled, “So hot.”

Yannis lowered his head and blew on it again until it cooled. Finally, Zinnia took a sip.

Zinnia always turned lazy when she was sick, acting all delicate and pampered. Leaning against Yannis, she peered into the bowl in his hands and pouted, “No meat?”

Yannis scooped another spoonful and fed her. “After treating your body so carelessly, you still have the nerve to ask for meat?”

He’d spent nearly two months carefully nursing her, finally getting some meat on her bones. But this ordeal had really taken a heavy toll–her cheeks were still paper–white, no hint of color in sight.

“My body desperately needs meat right now,” Zinnia said with exaggerated seriousness. “I need to eat more to replenish all the energy I’ve lost.”

“Not getting any,” Yannis teased nonchalantly.

“Then I’m calling Sofia. I’m going home to convalesce with Henry,” Zinnia exclaimed in disbelief, never expecting he could be so heartless when she was in this state. Even though she was weak, she still struggled to
