Maisie’s words made Yannis instantly recall that the man had shouted outside that Nathan had been disabled.

‘She must have heard it,’ Yannis thought, his heart clenching. He strode over and pushed open the VIP room door behind him. Seeing Zinnia hunched over, retching violently, he rushed inside. “Zinnia!” he cried.

“Zinnia!” Maisie, panicking, frantically pulled out her phone to call for help.

Zinnia vomited violently, her whole body wracked with convulsions. There’s a saying: when the pain in heart reaches its limit, your body will start to rebel.

“Zinnia. Zinnia. Listen to me, okay? Try to stay calm–your Master will be here any minute.” Yannis called out anxiously. He reached out and, following what Nathan had taught him, began applying pressure to the acupressure points on Zinnia’s back.

Zinnia forced herself to focus on his words, and after a moment’s delay, she managed a weak nod. As the pressure in her chest eased just a little, she felt the suffocating tightness in her heart beginning to disappear.

She closed her eyes, struggling to not think about what that person had said.

‘Disable. Not long for this world, she thought desperately. ‘Master can’t possibly be disabled. No way. He’s so strong. He even saved me–how could he not save himself?‘

But as these thoughts flashed through her mind, Zinnia doubled over and retched again, unable to control herself. Yet there was nothing left in her stomach.

“Zinnia.” Yannis took some tissues to wipe her lips, feeling upset seeing her vomit so violently.
