Yannis strode purposefully toward the ward.

“Hi, Yannis, Spotting the man at the door, Mike, who was being scolded by Devin, looked up and spoke in his soft,
sweet voice.
Devin shook his head and said, “Calling for Yannis won't help you now. He’s not here to bail you out.”
“Hi, Devin, Millicent,” Yannis greeted as he pushed the door open.
Devin stiffened and explained, “Yannis, Mike wouldn't listen. Despite his poor health, he insisted on going out to
play and ended up with a fever. What's worse, he told the butler to keep it from us.”
In his adorable baby voice, Mike said, “Yannis, the weather was nice today. I-I only played in the garden for a
little while.”
At just three years old, Mike sometimes struggled to string words together, though his pronunciation was
remarkably clear for his age. The Perkins family had hired private tutors for him since infancy.
Millicent gently pinched his chubby cheek and teased, “So now that Yannis is here, you've got your protector,
huh?”
Mike had known how to latch onto the strongest support since birth.
“Devin, Mike's just a kid. It’s only natural for him to be curious,” Yannis said, his voice hoarse behind his mask as
he stood in the doorway. He didn’t dare go in, not wanting to risk spreading his cold.
Yannis frowned at Mike and said sternly, “Mike, how could you hide this from Mom and Dad? That was wrong.
Understand? They'd be really worried about you.”
Mike was born premature and had always been frail and sickly. Being so young and with a weak immune system,
even a slight breeze or chill could easily make him ill.
“Yannis, I'm sorry.” Hearing Yannis‘ voice, Mike lowered his head and said in his tiny voice, “Mom, Dad, I'm sorry
Devin’s face was stern. “This won't happen again.”
With a gentle smile, Millicent looked at Devin and Mike, then turned to Yannis. “Yannis, do cin.”
Yannis stood at the doorway and said, “I've caught a bit of a cold, so I'd better not cin.”
“Is your cold bad? Have you seen a doctor?” Millicent asked. At his words, both Devin and Millicent’s eyes welled
up with worry.
“When did you catch this cold? Have you taken anything for it? Since we're already at the hospital, I'll take you
to get checked out.” Devin walked to Yannis.
Mike's wide, round eyes brimmed with concern as he looked at Yannis and called softly, “Yannis-"

Yannis shook his head reassuringly. “It’s nothing serious. I'll be fine if | just go hand get srest.
Millicent said, very concerned, “Yannis, let Devin take you to see a doctor since we're already at the hospital.”
“No need, Millicent. I'll just go hand have water.” Yannis looked at Mike and gently reminded him, “Mike,
focus on getting better while you're in the hospital. Once I'm well again, I'll cvisit you, okay?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMike cooed in his soft, adorable voice, “Yannis, get better first. Take care of yourself. No need to hurry to see
me.”
“Alright,” Yannis said, his voice softening.
Devin walked over to Yannis. “Letwalk you out,” he offered.
The two of them headed out together, side by side. Devin asked, “Did you find Zinnia?”
Devin knew Yannis had resumed his search for her just days earlier.
Yannis‘ gaze was empty. “No.”
Devin’s eyes filled with pity. “Yannis, after all those false leads, what if Zinnia’s already—"
Over the past four years, Yannis had probably been deceived more times than he could count in his search for
Zinnia.
In the early days after Zinnia went missing, Yannis was constantly falling for false leads. Sometimes, he'd race
between over a dozen places in a single day without a moment's rest.
He searched relentlessly, his eyes bloodshot, his cheeks raw, and he lost nearly fifteen pounds in just one week.
Given Zinnia’s condition back then, even if she hadn't gone missing, her survival odds were slim at best, let
alone that she disappeared. Her fate was likely sealed.
But Devin would never voice that thought.
Yannis’ search for Zinnia had becan obsession, the only thing keeping him alive.
If it weren't for Zinnia’s wish for Yannis to live on, Devin and the others couldn't even imagine what he would
have turned into.
Four years ago, after they left that island, the emptiness in Yannis‘ eyes still haunted Devin to this day. It was as
if Yannis‘ entire world had crumbled into ruins. Yannis drifted in a haze, utterly lost.
Everyone needed something to hold on to.
Yannis’ voice was calm but carried an unmistakable stubbornness. “Devin, Zinnia is alive. She's out there,
waiting forto find her.”
‘Zinnia must be alive, Yannis told himself firmly. ‘I will find her-no matter what. As long as she’s alive, I'll never
stop searching!

The Perkins family was nothing if not stubborn. Once they had set their minds on something, they would charge
ahead without ever turning back, even if it meant getting battered and bruised.
Devin knew it was pointless to talk Yannis out of it, so he said earnestly, “Yannis, | know you won't listen, but
next tyou go looking for her, at least have someone vet things first.
“What if it's our enemies? Dad isn’t getting any younger. He can’t bear another scare like this.”
Yannis nearly got himself killed twice, which so enraged James that he was hospitalized. Afterward, James flew
into a fury and pulled strings with the higher-ups to purge those responsible.
Yannis‘ life was the Perkins family’s red line. Business rivalries were one thing, but laying hands on Yannis’ life
was absolutely forbidden.
The Perkins family wouldn't stop Yannis from searching for Zinnia, but risking his life was absolutely out of the
question.
They had saved Yannis twice, but if it happened a third time, their hearts simply couldn't bear it. Yannis’ worst
injury landed him in the ICU for seven days.
Yannis lowered his eyes. “Don’t worry. | won't let anything happen tobefore | find Zinnia.”
‘If 1 did, she'd never forgive me,’ he thought. He dreamed of Zinnia crying. Her last words were for him to stay
safe.
At the elevator, Yannis turned to Devin and said, “Go back. My assistant’s waiting downstairs. I'll visit Mike when
I'm better. And try not to scold him so much.”
Devin said, “All of you spoil him rotten. If | don’t scold him once in a while, he'd be running wild by now. Don’t
worry. | know how to handle him.”
Devin patted him on the shoulder and added, “If you need anything, just givea call.”
The elevator arrived, and Yannis stepped inside. There were two doctors already inside the elevator.
“Hey, did you hear? That top cardiologist is coming to our hospital tomorrow for a surgery.”
