“How is she?” Yannis rushed forward, his eyes clouded with worry. Ever since he learned about Zinnia’s condition, his heart had been in his throat.

If he weren’t afraid of disturbing them by barging in, Yannis wouldn’t have been able to just wait outside.

“Thanks to your quick action, she’s stable now. You really don’t need to worry too much,” Nathan said, his voice heavy and hoarse.

Clearly, the fact that Zinnia found out so suddenly had made things complicated.

She had just woken up, silent, refusing to speak or even acknowledge him, just staring at him with red- rimmed eyes.

Honestly, Nathan would rather she lost her temper at him than just sit there staring in silence.

“Nathan, I’m so sorry. I failed to take good care of Zinnia last night,” Maisie said guiltily.

“Maisie, don’t blame yourself. What happened to Zinnia was just an accident.” Nathan forced a gentle smile.

“Nathan, may I go in to see Zinnia?” Maisie asked, her worried gaze drifting toward the room.

“Yes.” Nathan gave a nod. Maisie hurried into the room.

Yannis also wanted to follow her in, but Nathan called out to him, “Yannis, come with me for a moment.”

Yannis stopped in his tracks and, with no choice, followed Nathan to the side.

Yannis asked anxiously, “Nathan, how’s Zinnia doing? Is she stable?”

“I told Zinnia everything about my condition.” Nathan let out a sigh, an uncharacteristic worry clouding his usually composed features. “But after hearing it, she wouldn’t vent at me or make any fuss.

“Could you talk to her later? At least help her let her feelings out. Bottling everything up like this isn’t good for

her.”

Sometimes, Zinnia was easy to comfort, melting at the slightest coaxing. But when she dug in her heels, even Nathan felt helpless.
