While they were having dinner, Chandler had already arranged for someone to tidy up the house.

Since it was usually kept clean, after today’s thorough cleaning, it was ready for them to move in right away.

Zinnia helped Nathan settle onto the sofa, then leaned over the coffee table to pour him a glass of water. Nathan took the glass from her and sipped it slowly.

“Is there really no other way to help you? Do we really have to find the Florivive? Isn’t there any other antidote?” Zinnia sat beside him, her eyes filled with concern as she noticed the unnatural pallor of his lips.

Even Nathan, a peerless healer, couldn’t find a cure, let alone Zinnia possibly succeeded.

The real reason he asked her to treat him was simply to give her something to focus on, to keep her from getting lost in her own emotions, and to help her pull herself together.

Nathan was suffering from multiple organ failure caused by poisoning, a condition that had baffled even the best doctors.

Even if they eventually found the Florivive and cured the poison, the toxins would have already caused irreversible damage to his body. His lifespan would still be drastically shortened.

“That’s it. This poison is incurable. Even that so–called antidote–no one knows if it’ll work in the end.” Nathan shook head gently and said, “Zinnia, I’m telling you this because everyone has to face life and death.

“In the worst case, I might not be able to stay by your side much longer.”

Seeing Zinnia’s expression darken, Nathan gently stroked her hair and said, “Don’t worry. There’s still hope. I would never give up. I could never bear to leave you all alone.”

“Stop with that depressing talk. I won’t hear it–not one bit.” Zinnia turned her gaze away, her eyes welling up again. She just couldn’t bear to hear about Nathan’s condition.

“Alright, I won’t say it then,” Nathan sighed, lips curving into a gentle smile.

“We’ll find it. I know we will. You’re such a good person, Nathan. God will show mercy. They couldn’t bear to take you away,” Zinnia said, her voice muffled but resolute.

In her heart, Zinnia was certain. Someone as kind as Nathan–surely, fate wouldn’t dare claim him.

“May your sweet words bring me luck, Zinnia,” Nathan smiled again. Beneath the mask, his eyes were soft and clear, lit with a gentle smile, radiantly beautiful.

“Zinnia, go fetch the medical books from the archive room, okay? Let me see if you have been studying hard.” Nathan gently tilted his chin toward the archive room, signaling her to go get the books.
