Zinnia’s eyelids drooped with exhaustion as she stifled a yawn. When she heard Yannis’s words, her eyes widened. She never imagined he’d ask her to stay.
Yannis bent down and said, “You can stay here with me, no rent. But in return, Zinnia, could you help treat my condition?”
The moment Yannis made this proposal, Maisie and the others all turned to stare at him in shock.
Meeting their astonished gazes, Yannis nodded and said, “Zinnia can treat my insomnia and help regte my health. Rest assured, she won’t be wronged while she’s with me.”
Yannis’s insomnia had always been a headache for everyone. As soon as he mentioned it, all eyes immediately turned to him.
The smile on Raymond’s face faded and was reced by a look of grave concern. He stepped forward and said seriously, “Yannis, let me check your pulse.”
Yannis offered his wrist to Raymond.
After checking Yannis’s condition, Raymond turned to Zinnia. “Zinnia, have you been helping Yannis with his health?” he asked, a hint of surprise and approval in his voice.
The moment Raymond took Yannis’s pulse, he immediately noticed the subtle changes in Yannis’s condition. After all, no one knew Yannis’s health better than Raymond.
Raymond was at his wits‘ end with Yannis. He prescribed medicine, but Yannis refused to take it. He told Yannis to go to bed early, yet Yannis never listened.
Raymond often worried that one day, Yannis’s body would reach a breaking point and he’dpletely break down.
Raymond thought, ‘Although Yannis’s health hasn’t improved much yet, as long as his insomnia can gradually be brought under control, his physical depletion can be restored. Once this problem is solved, everything else will fall into ce.
‘That incident left such deep scars on Yannis, even hypnosis couldn’t erase those memories.
Zinnia replied, “Yes, his constitution is a bit weak, so I prepared some Soothing Soup for him.”
“Did Yannis drink the coup?” Raymond asked again, his voice trembling with barely contained excitement. <fnc09e> Follow current nov?ls on Find~Novel</fnc09e>
“Yes, he did,” Zinnia replied, genuinely puzzled by their surprised looks. She thought, ‘Why is everyone <b>so </b>shocked? Isn’t that what patients are supposed to do?‘
If Zinnia knew how Yannis had resisted medicine, she’d probably understand why everyone was so shocked.
Yannis had always been resistant to taking medicine since he was a child. No matter how others tried to force it down his throat, beat him, and scold him, even after breaking his ribs, he would just clench his jaw and
refuse to take it.

Even when he was sick, he’d rather tough it out than take any pills.
Bo your har
Upon learning that Zinnia could cure Yannis’s insomnia and that Yannis was willing to take the medicine prescribed by Zinnia, Raymond was very pleased. He wished that Zinnia could live with Yannis forever.
He said, “Henry, let Zinnia stay here with Yannis. Yannis may seem a bit unreliable, but he is trustworthy, Just let Zinnia stay here. With Yannis around, the Shaw family won’t daree and trouble Zinnia again.
“Zinnia is in her senior year now, with a heavy academic workload. Constantly moving isn’t good for her. <b>This </b>ce is close to school, so she can get a bit more sleep in the mornings.
“If she ever needs help with her studies, Yannis can tutor her.”
Raymond listed all these advantages, trying to persuade Henry and others to agree to Zinnia living with Yannis.
Yvette and the others were equally astonished that Zinnia could treat Yannis’s insomnia.
Henry asked gently, “Zinnia, would you be willing to stay with Yannis? Only if you want to.”
The Lynns were genuinely surprised that Zinnia could help with Yannis’s insomnia. They knew just how much Raymond worried about Yannis. Whether out of friendship or simply because they cared for Yannis, the Lynns didn’t want anything bad to happen to Yannis.
But the Lynns felt it all depended on whether Zinnia was willing to stay with Yannis. With Yannis around, the Lynns felt reassured.
Yannis had no ties to the Shaw family, so the Lynns believed that the Shaws wouldn’t dare make trouble in front of Yannis.
No matter how vicious the rumors about Yannis were in their circle, calling him arrogant, sharp–tongued. even ruthless, in the eyes of the Lynns, Yannis was nothing but dependable.
Zinnia met Yannis’s eyes, recalling how he’d recently said he might copse at home one day and no one would even notice. She bit her lip.
She thought, ‘I don’t know when I’ll have to leave. Before that happens, I should help nurse him back to health. If <b>I </b>can get him better, maybe he won’t be in such danger anymore. The next second, she nodded.
Seeing Zinnia agree, a gentle warmth flickered in Yannis’s eyes.
Watching Yannis’s eyes brimming withughter, Zinnia felt herself being infected by his cheerful mood and found herself feeling a bit excited as well.

Seeing that it was gettingte, Sofia and the others prepared to leave. Her gaze lingered on Zinnia for <b>a </b>moment before finally turning to Yannis. “Yannis, we’ll entrust Zinnia to your care,” Sofia said gently.
“Sofia, you’re wee <i>to </i>visit Zinnia anytime,” Yannis said.

Sofia gave Zinnia’s hand another gentle squeeze and said, “Zinnia, if you ever need anything<b>, </b>just call us anytime<b>, </b>okay?”
“Alright, Sofia. You take care too,” Zinnia said, smiling gently as she met Sofia’s reluctant <b>gaze</b>.
“Zinnia, if anything happens, <b>just </b>call me and I’lle get you,” Maisie said before leaving. She wished she could take Zinnia home, but since Zinnia chose to stay with Yannis, Maisie could only <b>say </b>goodbye, her reluctance clear.
“Okay,” Zinnia replied.
With Zinnia now officially entrusted to Yannis’s care, the matter was temporarily settled.
<b>***** </b>
Zinnia nced at Yannis, who was bent over tidying up the table. Now that it <b>was </b>just the two of them in the living room, she finally asked, “Why did you ask me to stay? Jackson said you don’t like being disturbed by others<b>.</b><b>” </b>
Yannis paused briefly before saying, “Zinnia, you’re not a bother at all. You’re helping me get better, and I’ll provide room and board. Honestly, if you left, there’d be no one to eat my cooking. Food just doesn’t <b>taste </b>the same when I’m eating alone.”
Yannis was not one to tolerate disturbances. But he found himself not minding having Zinnia around. He couldn’t quite exin why he made this decision. Maybe it was just a spur–of–the–moment choice, but he didn’t regret it one bit.
Yannis thought to himself, ‘Maybe the house just feels too empty. I don’t want toe home every day and never see her petite figure again.
Zinnia said, “I’ll nurse your body back to health as soon as possible.” She thought, ‘Once he is better, <i>if </i>Master still hasn’te for me, I’ll move out. This is just a temporary arrangement. I won’t overstay my wee.’
Yannis replied, “No rush. I will show you to your room. If you need anything, just let me know.”
Since Zinnia had already packed her things, she didn’t have to go downstairs again. Yannis grabbed her suitcase and led her to the guest room.
Yannis said, “Zinnia, your room is right here. You’ll have to make do for now. Tomorrow I’ll have someone redecorate it to your liking and have your clothes delivered.”
Though it was just a guest room with simple decor, everything was of the finest quality. After all, Yannis demanded nothing but the best. Yet Yannis felt it was too in for Zinnia to live in.
Yannis pondered, ‘The color scheme is too monotonous. I will have it redecorated tomorrow; after all, <b>a </b>young girl’s room shouldn’t feel so cold and unweing.’
