Nathan, you mustn't overexert yourself anymore, Quincey said. His worry deepened as he noticed Nathan's pale

lips

Given Nathan's current condition, he should focus on rest and avoid exertion. Staying in Jinston would be best for

his health, as the city’s excellent medical facilities could provide immediate care in case of any

emergency

But he couldn't bear to stay idle or waste precious trecuperating in Jinston. So he brought Zinnia back with

him, practically giving up on his own health, just to cherish every last precious moment he could spend

with her.

“Don’t worry. It’s manageable,” Nathan said, massaging his throbbing temples. His voice was hoarse, and his

breathing slightly labored.

His chest tightened with each breath, and sharp pain pulsed through him. He swallowed hard, gripping the

countertop even tighter as he fought back the heavy ache.

“You're not feeling well again.” Quincey said. He was exasperated by Nathan's neglect of his health.

Nathan shut his eyes, his throat burning. He didn’t want to speak.

Quincey glared at Nathan. “Manageable? It means the pain keeps getting worse. You're in so much agony that

you can’t even speak. Nathan, do you even care about your own health? Or are you only satisfied when you work

yourself to death?”

Quincey couldn't help but feel frustrated and angry as he watched Nathan, who was clearly in pain, yet

maintaining that calm facade.

No matter how dire the situation, even with his life hanging in the balance, Nathan remained utterly unflappable,

never showing the slightest trace of fear.

“Keep it down,” Nathan rasped, the words barely escaping his throat. Each syllable seemed to drain what little

strength he had left.

Nathan couldn't help looking toward the yard. Seeing Zinnia sitting safe and sound outside, he managed a

shallow breath of relief.

“Zinnia’s still young. She'll get scared and start crying,” Nathan whispered, and he looked so fragile that he

might vanish at any moment.

Quincey let out a helpless sigh. “You've always had that calm face since you were a kid. Honestly, | suspect

nothing in this world could scare you.”

In his over twenty years of life, Nathan had feared almost nothing, except for Zinnia, his one and only Achilles’

heel.

“How could anyone not be afraid of something,” Nathan murmured, his voice barely a whisper.

He added, “Zinnia is coming of age this year. With her beauty, there'll be no shortage of suitors. If you want to

Nathan said quietly. “Let’s not trouble her with this? His meaning was clear. He didn’t want to talk about it

anymore

Nathan, about Fiona Quincey trailed off. Ifis expression hardened as he noticed the chill in Nathan's eyes.

Given how sinart Nathan was, there was no way that he didn’t sense Biom'’s feelings. He kept silent, just as Fiona

did because they both knew that if they ever brought it up, their relationship would never be the same

Fiona was fiercely proud. If she ever left, Zinnia would be heartbroken.

For the past few years, Fiona had spent a lot of tin Germiland. She knew a romance with Nathan just

wasn't in the cards

Over the years, the two only met a handful of times on Zinnia’s birthday, Nathan's birthday, and during

Christmas Beyond those occasions, they barely interacted.

Beyond the obligatory holiday greetings exchanged over text, Nathan rarely interacted with Fiona Even when

their conversations ran a bit longer, it was always about Zinnia.

Kona had always known her boundaries. She had been friends with Nathan for many years, and she had never

overstepped or made inappropriate moves. That was why Nathan didn’t dwell on it. Their relationship was purely

platonic

Nathan looked up at Quincey, his gaze cool and detached. “You know | have no other intentions.”

He and Viona could never be more than friends. Their relationship was firmly set. Getting married and starting a

family had never been part of Nathan's plans. In fact, he'd never even given it a thought.

As for Quincey and Fiona, Nathan could only stay out of it. Matters of the heart were never something anyone

could truly understand.

Quincey could tell from Nathan's expression that he was telling the truth.

When it cto Zinnia, Nathan always did everything to pave the way for her future, wanting her path to be

smooth. Yet, he never considered leaving himself an escape route.

Sometimes, Quincey just wished Nathan would be a little more selfish and actually look after himself for

once.

To Nathan, Zinnia was truly one of a kind and utterly irreplaceable. Perhaps even he himself couldnt quite put a

For a rare moment, uncertainty surfaced in Nathan's eyes as he thought about a life without Zinnia.

Honestly, Nathan had never even considered being apart from Zinnia, not before his health declined, at least.

He would be there for her SATs and stay by her side through university. Even after she graduated, he'd still worry

about her future career. In all his plans, Zinnia had never once been absent.

Ever since his health declined, what concerned Nathan most was what would happen to Zinnia if he wasn’t there

to protect her anymore.

Just the thought of it consumed Nathan with worry. He was terrified he might have overlooked something.

However, he had to admit he'd never thought about the day Zinnia might not need him anymore or would leave

to live her own life. The idea made his chest feel tight.

Quincey asked, “Nathan, are you really willing to let Yannis have Zinnia? Have you ever thought about what you

truly feel for her?”
