Luckily, it was the weekend and Zinnia didn’t have to go to school. Otherwise, she’d be dead on her feet.

She pushed open her room door and stepped out, only to find the hospital room deathly quiet.

Zinnia’s appearance drew everyone’s gaze toward her.

Several pairs of eyes locked onto her, snapping her half–asleep mind into full alertness.

Instinctively, she took a step back, pressing herself against the door, ready to slip back into her room.

With James now awake, the room fell into an unnerving silence. Zinnia had no idea what they’d been discussing before.

“Zinnia,” James called softly, his voice gentle yet still rough from his recent illness.

Yannis stood up and walked over to her with a reassuring smile. “Hey, no need to run off. Don’t be scared. You’re the hero of our family right now.”

“Huh?” Zinnia blinked in utter confusion.

‘I just took a nap. What the heck happened while I was asleep?‘ she wondered.

Zinnia glanced around in bewilderment. Victor was beaming at her. Layla flashed her an enthusiastic thumbs- up, and even Devin, who was usually so stoic, wore a faint smile.


Zinnia had absolutely no idea what was going on. She was completely lost.

“What’s happening?” Zinnia asked hesitantly as she and Yannis took seats by the hospital bed.

‘Why am I even here, mixed up in their family affairs?‘ she thought.

“Zinnia, is there anything you desire? Just name it. If you want the stars in the sky, I will have Yannis fetch them for you,” James smiled warmly at Zinnia, who sat there a bit stiffly.

“Your promise? Why am I the one who has to do it?” Yannis shot James an annoyed glare,

James eavesdropped on their conversation in the middle of the night, and now James was trying to pawn him

off as a reward.

“I’m getting on in years. I might not be around much longer,” James said. “The doctor says I shouldn’t stress myself out. Can’t you do me a favor and show Zinnia our gratitude?”

James snorted.

“Gratitude?” Zinnia still didn’t get it.
