“Yannis,” Zinnia said gently, “go on back. Don’t worry about me. Nathan and I will return to the small town.”

Nathan only had three months left. Every single moment was precious. Zinnia and the others couldn’t stay in Jinston for long.

In his final days, Nathan longed to return to the small town where he and Zinnia had grown up together.

Whether he could be cured or not, Nathan wanted to spend his remaining days by Zinnia’s side.

The small town was better stocked with medicinal herbs for his treatment.

Yannis was in the midst of his busiest period, but he still wanted to accompany Nathan and Zinnia back. Both of them gently declined his offer.

Yannis said, “Have a safe trip. If anything comes up, call me right away. I’ve arranged for a top medical team to accompany you back.”

Though both Nathan and Zinnia were skilled in medicine, having a medical team on standby remained essential.

“Sure.” Zinnia replied. Both she and Nathan understood Yannis‘ good intentions and didn’t decline.

Without medication to suppress his symptoms, his frailty was painfully evident. His gait was unsteady, and his clothes hung loosely on his thin, hollow frame, as if they were empty sacks.

Nathan chuckled softly, “No need. Take your time saying goodbye to Yannis. We’ll come back when we can.” He gently ruffled Zinnia’s hair.

Nathan made his way onto the plane while Zinnia and Yannis watched him with concerned eyes.

They both knew Nathan didn’t want them treating him like someone who needed constant care.
