“If we wait any longer, they won’t be able to resist,” Nathan said. “If we don’t give them any openings, they might resort to desperate measures. Emily’s team has noticed surveillance on them recently.”

Yannis learned that the underground syndicate was involved. He kept Zinnia under tight security. Emily and Stephen provided constant protection, escorting her to and from school every day. Once she was home, she didn’t step outside.

After Nathan returned, Zinnia headed straight home after classes without lingering. Cloud Harbor’s security was top–notch. There was no way they could have slipped in unnoticed.

With no chance to get close to Zinnia, they were inevitably growing restless. Once they got anxious, things were likely to go wrong.

“Let’s wait until Zinnia’s on break,” Nathan said as he continued preparing the food.

Jackson sliced the sausage, then looked over at Nathan. “How are you feeling?” he asked. His searching gaze swept over Nathan, looking for any sign of improvement. He couldn’t shake the feeling that Nathan looked even thinner than before. Jackson frowned slightly.

Nathan lowered his eyes, his expression calm. “I’m fine,” he replied.

Yannis winced as a sharp sting in his hand snapped him out of his thoughts. He glanced down and noticed a fresh cut on his finger.

Jackson turned his head to ask Yannis to pass him something, only to see blood welling from a cut on Yannis’s hand.

“Yannis, how could you be so careless? Put the knife down and grab some tissue,” Jackson said. As he spoke, he set aside what he was holding and quickly fetched a tissue to wrap the wound.

“It’s nothing, just a scratch,” Yannis said, casually wrapping it with a tissue. He’d been nicked by a shrimp while prepping them.

Noticing the cut on Yannis’s hand, Nathan set down what he held. “Let’s go to the living room. I’ll treat your wound.” Yannis followed Nathan into the living room.

“Have a seat. I’ll grab the first aid kit,” Nathan said, turning away. Yannis sat down on the couch.

Nathan quickly found the kit and turned around. In a gentle voice, he said, “Don’t show anything unusual in front of them.” His tone was soft.
