Zinnia remained in deep slumber for what seemed like an eternity, only stirring awake as dusk began to fall.

“Awake now? Anywhere still hurting?” Yannis had been keeping vigil by the bedside all this time. Now he rose to his feet, worry written across his face.

Zinnia’s thick, curled lashes fluttered as she opened her eyes, and Yannis‘ face, etched with worry and tenderness, suddenly came into view.

“Yannis?” Her voice was faint and weak, hoarse from illness.

Zinnia weakly pushed herself up, attempting to rise from the bed. Yannis immediately reached out to steady her.

With Yannis‘ help, Zinnia sat up and leaned against the nightstand. There was still a dull ache in her chest. Her brows knitted slightly in discomfort.

“What’s wrong? Still not feeling well? Let me call the doctor.” Yannis tensed up at the slightest frown from Zinnia.

After getting Zinnia back to her room, Yannis immediately called in a cardiologist to examine her.

Zinnia’s condition was far from reassuring. This cardiac episode marked a turning point. Zinnia’s attacks would now occur with increasing frequency.

A heart transplant was her only hope, but her fragile condition made the surgery too dangerous at this stage.

The best option would be for Zinnia to wait until she turned eighteen for the heart transplant. That would be safest for her condition.

It was not that the surgery couldn’t be done earlier, but doing it ahead of time still carried significant risks.

If Zinnia’s condition remained stable, they’d prefer for her to wait until she turned eighteen for the heart transplant.

“Yannis, I’m uncomfortable.” Zinnia’s voice came out faint and whispery as she instinctively grabbed Yannis‘ hand and pressed it against her chest.

“Right here, it hurts so much,” Zinnia whispered, but she had no idea how to ease the pain.

After her illness, Zinnia had grown unusually fragile and docile. She lowered her gaze, her eyes clouded with
