Due to irreversible damage sustained in Zinnia’s childhood, Zinnia wasn’t suitable for a heart transplant; her
system simply couldn't withstand the procedure.
Zinnia had a peculiar heart condition that didn’t impact daily life or limit activities. Zinnia could run and jump
freely. However, no one knew when Zinnia’s heart might suddenly stop. If that happened no one around, it would
be too late.
“Really?” Zinnia’s lashes fluttered nervously. “But didn’t you say my body wouldn't be able to tolerate the
surgery?” Zinnia asked.
“Yes, | found an ancient medical text,” Nathan coaxed Zinnia. “When you grow up and your body stabilizes, we
can perform the surgery. After that, Zinnia, you'll be safe and sound.”
“But even if the surgery is possible,” Zinnia murmured, “finding a suitable heart donor won't be easy.”
Zinnia honestly didn’t care how much longer she had to live. She thought, ‘Finding a suitable heart donor is hard
enough, let alone one that’s actually a perfect match. And even if there was a donor, would | even live to see
eighteen?’
“Zinnia, I've found a heart donor for you,” Nathan said gently.
“Found one?” Zinnia asked, her eyes widening in surprise. ‘Everyone wants to live. Now that | have a real
chance, of course | want to survive too, Zinnia thought to herself.
“Yes, I've found one,” Nathan said softly. “Remember when | asked you to deliver medicine to the Evans family?
There’s a terminally ill person there who has agreed to be a heart donor. When you turn eighteen and have the
surgery, you'll be completely cured.”
“The Evans family?” Zinnia echoed, surprised. It had been a long tsince Zinnia last heard any news about
them.
“Yes, the Evans family; they have been rooted in Yinecrest for over a century. They possess great power and
enjoy a prestigious status. Their ancestors had close connections with the royal family.
“The Evans family’s financial reach extends across the globe. The Evans Group, under the leadership of Osborn,
is a titan in finance and investment, commanding a significant presence in global markets.
“The next heir, Adrian, is widely regarded as the most outstanding among the younger generation. They've
promised Master that they will take you in as their goddaughter. Once they've sorted out their affairs, Master will
bring you to meet them.”
‘The main line of the Evans family has only Adrian. By making Zinnia their goddaughter, Zinnia will be better
protected in the future, thought Nathan.
Recently, sproblems have cropped up in the Evans family, and Adrian has to go back to Yinecrest to deal
with them. After everything is sorted out, Nathan will take Zinnia there.

could they possibly agree to take in an unrelated girl likeas their goddaughter without any
reason?”

Nathan said gently, “Master treated them, and those were the terms they agreed to”

“Did you use the Flowing Technique again?” Zinnia’s voice trembled with worry. “Is that why you can’t get rid of
your coughing fits? Is it because your life force is completely drained and you can’t recover quickly?”
Master seldom used the Flowing Technique because it took too heavy a toll on one’s vital energy. Even someone
as resilient as Nathan needed a long tto recover after using it. This secret art was strictly reserved for life-
or-death situations, Zinnia thought.
“It's alright. I'll be fine after srest,” Nathan said with a gentle, warm smile.
“Don’t worry, Zinnia,” Nathan said gently. “As long as I'm here, everything will be okay. You just focus on being
happy. You don’t need to take on my burdens. All my debts have been cleared. Now, | just want you to live a
good life.”
Nathan gently patted Zinnia’s back to offer comfort. Nathan thought, ‘I didn’t want Zinnia to bear my troubles.”
As Zinnia listened to Nathan's words, she thought, ‘It’s as if Nathan's making his final arrangements. He
meticulously explained every detail to me.’
Nathan said softly yet insistently, “Zinnia, go watch sTV and take a rest for a while.” Nathan tried to
suppress the increasing itch in his throat. With a gentle nudge, Nathan guided Zinnia out of the kitchen.
The kitchen door snapped shut, completely obscuring the scene inside. The kitchen was so well soundproofed
that Zinnia couldn’t hear a single sound from outside.
Nathan doubled over, overwhelmed by uncontrollable coughing fits. A metallic tang rose in his throat, it was
blood. Nathan clutched the display stand, pressing a black handkerchief to his lips.
Nathan's lips turned pale from coughing. His eyes, brimming with unshed tears, were bloodshot. Taking medicine
to suppress his symptoms cat a cost; when the coughing started again, the backlash was far worse than
usual.
Feeling the blood in his palm, Nathan lowered his long lashes, gazing at the stains on the black handkerchief. His
eyes were calm as still water. A quiet sigh escaped him as he briefly closed his eyes.
This broken body, just hold on a little longer. At least letfinish everything, Nathan thought.
Zinnia sat on the living room couch, pretending to watch TV, but her gaze kept drifting toward the kitchen. She
couldn’t shake the uneasy feeling in her heart.
The place was very similar to the place where Zinnia had stayed with Yannis. However, the kitchen had been
specially renovated. The door was now opaque and even soundproof. Once it was closed, not a single sound from
the kitchen could be heard.
Since Zinnia couldn't stand cooking odors, she usually avoided the kitchen completely. Zinnia stood up,

Very few people knew their whereabouts. As they were still in Cloud Harbor, outsiders assumed that 1 was Being
with Yannis If anyone showed up here now, it could only be Yannis or Jackson, Zinnia thought.
Zamia sniffed downstairs in her slippers and made her way to the door. Instead of opening it immediately, she
peeked through the peephole.
When Zinnia saw the tall and imposing figure outside, her eyes lit up with recognition. Zinnia flung the door open
and exclaimed, “Quincey
Standing at the doorway was none other than Quincey,
“Zinnia, did you miss me? Quincey called out warmly. Stepping forward, Quincey’s eyes lit up at the sight of the

“Master, teach him a lewon. | feel like he’s hiding something from me,” Zinnia pouted playfully.
Quinery was a towering, muscular figure, easily big enough to be two Zinnias put together. “Umm, Nathan? Linde
Zinnia, you'll have to teach him a lewon yourself. | can’t help you with this one.”

To Zinnia and Nathan, Quincey was more than a friend; he was family, the third member of their circle.
