Nathan also saw the reminder on her phone. “Zinnia, do you want to go back? | can manage on my own. You

don’t need to worry so much about me,” Nathan said softly, his voice gentle and sincere,

Zinnia stared at the reminder on her phone in silence for a few seconds before closing it. “No. Go to rest. I'll keep

reading” She helped him clear the dishes and gently guided him outside the medicine room.

Nathan's body couldn't endure hard work anymore, so Zinnia prepared nourishing medicine for him. Though it

couldn’t detoxify his body, it could gradually help a little.

“Let's stop for now and rest.” Nathan stood outside the door, grabbing her wrist, unwilling to see her keep

overworking.

“Nathan, we don’t have much tleft. | refuse to believe that none of these books contain a cure for the

poison.” Zinnia turned and headed back inside.

“Zinnia...” Nathan sighed helplessly. He had already gone through these books hundreds, even thousands of

times-if a cure existed, he would have used it by now.

“All right, just go now. I'll prepare a medicinal bath for you this afternoon. It'll help you sleep better at night.”

Zinnia pulled away from his hand, pushed him outside, and then closed the door behind her.

Nathan stood outside the door, watching it close before sighing. He knew he couldn't persuade her anymore, and

she: mply wouldn't listen, fearing he might deceive her.

Nathan carried the dishes slowly downstairs. Feeling unwell and low on energy, he sank onto the sofa, resting

one hand against his forehead as he closed his eyes to rest.

The phone on the table rang. Nathan opened his eyes, saw the message, and a cold smile curved his lips. He

thought, “There's actually someone pulling the strings behind this.

Upstairs, Zinnia sat back down at her desk but didn’t rush to read. She unlocked her phone, still showing

calendar reminders, along with numerous messages from Maisie and Lydia.

Since Zinnia’s return, she rarely appeared or replied to messages. Every day, she immersed herself in searching

for herbs, preparing medicines, reading, and studying them repeatedly. She blocked out all outside noise.

Zinnia brushed her fingers over her phone. Yannis’s birthday party must be in full swing. Right now, Yannis was

probably caught up being styled by Layla and Devin. He'd likely been swamped these past two days.

Just a few days ago, Zinnia would get messages from him every day. Even if her replies were slow or brief, Yannis

still kept texting. But these past couple of days, his messages had dwindled. She wondered what he was so busy

with.

Zinnia lowered her gaze, pushing the thought aside. One glance at the towering shelves reminded her how much

she still hadn't read. She set her phone down and picked up the book she’d been reading, diving back into its

pages.

Even though she’d read these books before, it had been so long that most of it had faded from memory. Holding

the book, she read each word carefully studying them one by one with focused intent.

But her mind suddenly grew foggy. Zinnia’s vision blurred as drowsiness crept in. She shook her head, trying to

chase away the sleepiness clawing its way out.

Before she could fight it off, her head dropped onto the book. Her brows were tightly furrowed, and even in

sleep, exhaustion was etched across her face.

The door creaked open quietly. Nathan stepped inside, moving slowly. Seeing her fast asleep, her head resting on

an open book, he let out a barely audible sigh.

He walked over, his steps light as a whisper, and gently bent down to lift the exhausted girl into his arms. Since

Zinnia refused to rest, Nathan had no choice but to give her a mild sleeping remedy.

Her body couldn't handle such intense strain. Her complexion visibly worsened; her face looked sharper and

thinner. Only when she slept did the exhaustion truly show; with her eyes open, she always forced a facade. “Not

tired, not sleepy

Nathan carried her to the window's couch where warm sunlight poured in, making the spot cozy, Nestling on the

soft couch, Zinnia almost instinctively curled up. Nathan sat nearby and gently draped a light blanket over her.

Gentle, soft sunlight bathed her, casting a bright and tender glow on her face. Feeling the warmth, her furrowed

brows gradually relaxed.

Seeing that, Nathan's tenderness showed plainly in his eyes as his fingertips gently touched her soft, delicate

skin.

He said gently, “Zinnia, What should | do with you? Knowing it’s a lost cause, why are you still so persistent?”

If it were possible to save himself, Nathan would have done so already. However, after over twenty years of

medical practice, he fully understood his condition-it was nearly beyond cure. As for Florivive, he held little hope.

When Zinnia woke up, dusk had already fallen outside. Vast stretches of colorful clouds filtered through the sky,

and at that moment, her previously tense mind finally felt clearer. The heaviness in her body also lessened

considerably.

These past days, Zinnia got up before dawn every day to read and only returned to her room near midnight. She

had never been this diligent before. Her health was not great, and such intense exhaustion was too much for her

body to handle

The couch belonged exclusively to Zinnia. Sometimes, when she and Nathan grew tired from studying in the

pharmacy, she would curl up there to rest. The couch faced the window, which looked out onto a vast, vibrant

A sweet fragrance drifted into the room. She turned her gaze toward the door. Nathan pushed it open, carrying a

wooden tray with two drinks, cookies, and sliced fruit.

This scene felt so familiar-just like when Nathan hadn't left and they lived together in small town. In the

afternoons, Zinnia always read in the pharmacy, and when she got tired, Nathan would prepare snacks and

drinks for her.

But they both knew things had changed, and they couldn't go back to the past. With Nathan's health worsening

day by day, those old days were gone forever.

“Awake,” Nathan said gently as he saw her, a smile on his face.
