Yannis lowered his gaze, his eyes lingering on Zinnia’s lips. Her lips looked pale, as if all the color had suddenly drained from them. And her eyes weren’t right either–there was a hint of moisture in them.

Yannis‘ gaze darkened slightly.

Zinnia felt a bit nervous as Yannis‘ searching gaze lingered on her for too long. She lowered her head and whispered, “Yannis, I’m hungry.”

“Here you go,” Yannis said, placing the bowl in front of her. He had made a creamy sweet corn soup that was not only delicious but also good for her health.

Zinnia wrapped one hand around the bowl and gently stirred the steaming soup with a spoon in the other.

Yannis took a seat beside her.

Zinnia blew on the soup to cool it down, then scooped some corn and popped it into her mouth.

“Yannis, why do you keep staring at me like that?” Zinnia couldn’t ignore his intense gaze, no matter how hard she tried. She spoke as she chewed the corn slowly, taking her time.

Yannis smiled and said, “Because you’re my precious girl.”

He looked at her, his gaze shifting to the hand holding the bowl. The style of the bow on her wrist had changed.


Yannis remembered tying it for her. The right loop had been bigger than the left but now the left was bigger than the right.

‘She’s retied it, and the medicinal scent on her hand has grown stronger,’ he mused.

“Don’t say it like that–as if you’ll never see me again.” Swallowing the bite in her mouth, Zinnia scooped up another spoonful of sweet soup and met Yannis‘ gaze.

Yannis didn’t want to hear her talk like that. He said firmly, “Don’t say things like that.”

“Alright, I won’t say it,” Zinnia murmured. She ducked her head and focused on her food.

Having drained some blood, Zinnia felt unwell.

She had no idea how much more blood it’d take to get the seed to sprout. ‘For now, I need to take care of myself; I can’t let my health fail,‘ she thought.

Zinnia had barely eaten anything at lunch today, her appetite completely gone.

But now, as she saw the first signs of progress after such a long standstill, Zinnia felt she could finally breathe a
