Chapter 191

“Impossible!” Maelis stared, dumbfounded by Zinnia’s words. “You can’t just pick a random name with no connection to the Lynn family! You’re faking it!” Her voice grew frantic, breathless. Before she could say more, she gasped and collapsed.

The farce came to an abrupt end.

But for the Shaw family, this was far from over. A series of devastating blows were about to rain down upon them.

Sofia ignored Maelis, her worried gaze fixed on Zinnia. “Get Zinnia to the hospital,” she urged,

Everyone respected her name change, and they could still call her Zinnia.

Jackson noticed the exhaustion on Sofia’s and Henry’s faces. “Grandma and Grandpa, you go home and rest. I’ll handle Zinnia’s check–up,” he said gently.

Sofia and Henry were already up there in age. After everything they’d been through today–the accusations from Maelis, the weight of that decision–it was gotta be eating them up inside.

Jackson instructed, “Isaac, take them home.”

In the end, Jackson, Yannis, Charlie, and Maisie accompanied Zinnia to the hospital. Despite her protests, they insisted on a full check–up.

The commotion died down. Adrian watched from the shadows as Zinnia was surrounded and led away. His mind swirled with complicated emotions and anger. ‘The Shaw family, just wait,‘ he thought darkly.

“No serious injuries,” assured one doctor. “The facial swelling will fade with this ointment.”

“I’ve checked the X–ray of her tailbone. It shows no fracture,” said another doctor.

Zinnia was shuffled between X–rays and consultations. By the time everything was done, it was well into the afternoon.

After all the commotion today, there was no time left for the family dinner. Zinnia wore a white medical mask covering most of her face, leaving only her dark, clear eyes visible. Even so, she looked clearly exhausted.

“I’ll take her home. The rest of you go back,” Yannis said as they walked out of the hospital. The hospital was close to Cloud Harbor.

“Alright, call us if anything comes up,” Jackson said. He had to deal with the fallout and he worried about Sofia and Henry. He needed to check on them.

“How about I stay and keep Zinnia company?” Maisie offered, her voice laced with concern.

“No need,” Yannis said. “Just go back and reassure Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins,”

“Maisie, I’m fine. See you at school tomorrow,” Zinnia’s voice came through the mask, thick with tiredness.

Yannis turned to Charlie and said, “Drive Maisie home.”

Jackson didn’t plan to go back right away. The Shaw family’s days of comfort were numbered. How dare they disregard the health of the two elders and provoke them like that? He’d make them pay.

“Got it,” Charlie agreed. “Zinnia, if you ever need anything, just call me, alright?”

“Okay,” Zinnia nodded.

Chapter 191

A black Bentley waited outside the hospital. Yannis took Zinnia’s hand and led her toward the car. The driver stepped out and opened the door for them –

Zinnia slid into the back seat, and Yannis took his place beside her.

Opening the armrest compartiment, Yannis pulled out a cup of orange juice. He handed it to Zinnia and said softly, “Here, take this.”

Zinnia hesitated. She was only allowed three cups a week, and she’d already finished her quota a couple of days ago.

“Poor Zinnia, you must be tired today,” Yannis murmured, stroking her hair. His eyes held pure sympathy. “I’ll cook your favorites tonight. This will tide you over for now.”

Zinnia accepted the juice. She removed her mask. The ointment had worked. Her cheek’s swelling had faded, just a faint redness remaining.

Since the chaos, Zinnia had been withdrawn and quiet. The bright, vibrant girl from the morning seemed gone, replaced by the silent, reserved girl she was when they first met–speaking little and keeping to herself.

After downing nearly half her orange juice, Zinnia finally felt the tightness in her chest ease a bit. “Yannis, how could they be so shameless?” she turned to Yannis and asked.

Her sudden turn brought her face–to–face with his gaze. His eyes, deep and expressive, had been fixed on her the whole time, filled with undisguised

concern.
