Zinnia was in a coma. She was already in poor health when the blood draw triggered a heart attack.
Had Yannis and the others not kept a team of cardiology specialists on standby outside, Zinnia wouldn't have
received timely treatment. The consequences would have been catastrophic.
The situation remained grim. She showed no signs of waking up. Zinnia’s body was completely drained. She
couldn't take any more abuse.
“Zinnia’s condition worsens. We must schedule the surgery immediately.” Nathan wheeled himself slowly into
the hospital room, his pale, gaunt face etched with grave sorrow.
Nathan gazed at Zinnia lying on the bed, her complexion ashen, the lively spark in her eyes extinguished, lips
colorless, long lashes resting limply.
An IV drip was attached to her hand. The monitor emitted a cold, relentless beeping.
A week ago, after receiving the antidote, the deterioration of Nathan's body gradually cto a halt.
This universal antidote formula worked wonders, even slowly restoring his depleted body.
When Nathan woke up, he was told that Zinnia was in a coma. In that instant, it felt as if his heart was being torn
apart.
Nathan thought, ‘Zinnia must have anticipated this outcome. No one knows her condition better than she does.
In her current state, giving blood was practically trading her life for it.”
After waking up, Nathan checked Zinnia’s pulse and found her body had reached its breaking point. The strain
had triggered a heart attack, leaving her in a comatose state.
Her body and her heart could no longer hold on. Zinnia remained in a comatose state solely because Nathan
performed acupuncture to temporarily stabilize her condition.
But given her critical condition, the surgery presented only two possible outcomes. One, she died on the
operating table. Two, the surgery succeeded, and she survived.
Zinnia’s life hung by a thread, sustained solely by Nathan's efforts. But that fragile thread could snap at any
moment. This time, even Nathan was powerless to help a lot.
One shock after another these days had pushed Zinnia’s heart to its breaking point.
At those words, Yannis and Jackson's breathing grew labored.
Yannis’ voice was hoarse, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Zinnia. “Is surgery the only option left?” he asked.
He gazed at Zinnia lying on the bed, consumed by guilt. ‘Had | not agreed to her request, she wouldn't be lying
here in a coma now,’ Yannis thought bitterly.

Surgery was now imperative, Zinnia’s life hung by a thread. Only two choices remained, life or death.
Nathan's voice was strained. “We can’t delay any longer. If we keep waiting, things will only get worse, and the
risks will skyrocket.”
There was no more tto lose. Jackson frowned and asked, “What about the heart donor?”
Nathan's voice was hoarse. “I'll handle the Evans family.”
“Yannis, Zinnia, how could this happen to her?” Maisie walked stiffly into the ward, and the moment she saw
Zinnia lying on the bed, her eyes instantly filled with tears.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘It’s only been two months. How could her condition have worsened so much?‘ Maisie thought, overwhelmed by
the difference.
“Why don’t you stay and talk to her for a while?” Yannis stood outside the door, listening to Maisie crying, and
turned his gaze away. Neither of them could accept what was happening.
“Zinnia, it’s me, Maisie. Please wake up, won't you? Talk to me, please?” Maisie stood beside the hospital bed,
bending forward to grasp Zinnia’s ice-cold hand, her voice trembling with tears.
Yannis told Maisie that Zinnia might never wake up. When she got his call at school, her mind went blank with
shock. Without a second thought, she skipped class and had her mother arrange a private jet to rush her over
immediately.
But no matter how much Maisie pleaded, the figure on the hospital bed remained unresponsive.
“Zinnia?” Tears finally spilled down Maisie’s cheeks as she broke down completely.

Lydia and the others went upstairs but hesitated in front of the tightly closed hospital room door, none of them
daring to push it open.
“Zinnia’s inside. You have thirty minutes,” Yannis said flatly as he opened the door.
Lydia’s usually calm and rational eyes were fixed intently on Zinnia, unconscious in the hospital bed. She froze
completely.
‘How could this happen in just two months? The girl who was once so full of life is now lying here in a coma,’
Lydia thought, disbelief washing over her.
Zinnia was such a skilled doctor herself, yet even with all the top specialists and the best medical team, no one
could save her.
The three of them entered with stiff, hesitant steps.
Yannis took in the sight of Maisie, Lydia, Ethan, and the others in the hospital room before slowly closing the door
behind him.

Chapter 569
“Lydia, why are you all here?” Maisie had been keeping vigil by the bed, her eyes swollen from crying. When she
saw Lydia and the others enter, her voice cout hoarse.
“We noticed something was off when you left this morning, so we cto check on you.” Ethan's gaze fell on
Zinnia lying in the hospital bed, and, for a moment, his throat tightened..
Earlier that morning, Maisie received a phone call and rushed off in a hurry. Ethan and the others sensed.
something was wrong and texted her, but she never replied.
Later, Lydia suggested they go look for her. Since Zinnia had previously given Lydia the address, they managed
to get there.
To their surprise, instead of going to Zinnia’s place, Lydia brought them to the hospital.
The hospital was on high alert, and it was clear something serious had happened.
Just as they arrived outside, they ran into Yannis. Yannis then escorted them upstairs. They followed him all the
way to the entrance of the VIP ward.
The entire floor they stepped onto was eerily silent, so deathly quiet it sent chills down their spines. The
oppressive quiet set their nerves on edge.
As they finally stepped into the hospital room and saw Zinnia lying motionless on the bed, all their worst fears
were confirmed. Something had really happened to Zinnia.
Lydia dragged her numb legs over to the bedside and bent down. In a trembling whisper, she pleaded, “Zinnia,
didn’t you say you'd be going hsoon? Why are you lying tonow?”
Lydia took Zinnia’s hand, which was already cold, but Lydia’s hands were even colder, a chill that seeped straight
from her heart. As she gazed at Zinnia on the hospital bed, fear flickered in her eyes.
Not long ago, Zinnia had promised she might be going to school soon. Now, that hope felt like a cruel lie.
Brian stammered, “My brother knows a leading heart specialist. I-I'll ask him for help.”
Brian gazed at Zinnia on the hospital bed, pulled out his phone, and started typing, but his hands were shaking
so much that he kept hitting the wrong keys again and again.
“Zinnia was always so kind. Why? Why did things have to turn out like this?” Brian choked out, his voice
trembling with emotion.
Ethan and the others standing behind him couldn't help but feel their eyes well up with tears.

After everyone had left and night had fallen, Yannis finally entered the room.
His gaze lingered on Zinnia lying motionless in the hospital bed. He quietly sat beside her, first tenderly

Only then did he settle into the chair by her bedside, keeping silent vigil in the deepening quiet.
Yannis held Zinnia’s lukewarm hand resting on the bedside, his gaze lingering on her still form in the hospital
bed.
