He was still asleep. In just a few days, his face had sunken, and his lips were pale. His thin body was wrapped in a light blanket.

The hand sticking out from under the blanket looked like just skin and bones, with bluish veins clearly visible.

Zinnia watched him for a while, and her eyes turned red. She pressed her lips together tightly, trying not to cry out loud, afraid it would worry Nathan if he heard her.

She walked to the side of the bed, crouched down, and placed her fingers on his wrist to check his pulse. Her fingertips were shaking uncontrollably.

She felt completely useless. All she could do was watch as Nathan grew weaker by the day. Now, he spent most of his time unconscious, and she still couldn’t help him.

She had no cure for the poison. All she could do was ease his pain a little with each round of needles.

A hot tear dropped onto his bony wrist. Nathan’s long fingers twitched slightly, then he opened his eyes and saw her crying silently.

His breath grew heavier. His voice was weak and broken. “Zinnia, d–don’t be scared. I’ll wait for you…”

Nathan was still just as gentle as always. He struggled to lift his hand to wipe her tears, but he was too weak- he couldn’t even raise his arm. The sleepiness in his eyes faded, replaced by frustration.

Seeing he couldn’t even lift his hand, Zinnia bit her lip and grabbed it.

“Master, I’m useless. I can’t find a way to save you,” she said between sobs. “The Florivive didn’t sprout.”

She buried her face in his palm, tears falling nonstop. Soon, his hand was soaked.

Zinnia couldn’t hold it in. Her slender body trembled. She looked completely helpless.

Ever since Nathan got sick, she’d tried not to show her feelings in front of him. But today, she couldn’t hold it anymore. She was scared. She needed to cry.
