“Zinnia, let’s go,” said Maisie.

After Zinnia had lunch with Maisie and some other classmates, they had fun outside for a while in the afternoon before heading home.

When Zinnia got back, Yannis was cooking in the kitchen.

Watching the busy figure in the kitchen, Zinnia felt a twinge of guilt. She wondered what Williamn had told Yannis.

The moment the grades were released, Zinnia was called into William’s office.

Back then, William seriously asked her if she b

I any issues with teachers and suggested talking it through. Zinnia couldn’t help but feel embarrassed

when she recalled this.

She certainly wanted to do well, but her brain wouldn’t cooperate. She just couldn’t learn certain subjects well.

William wouldn’t have asked that question if Zinnia had performed averagely across all subjects, but she was outstanding at language, as well as reading and writing.

Her physics and chemistry teachers had even consulted the teachers of the above subjects, hoping to learn some tips on effective teaching.

Her history, social studies, and biology teachers worked overtime to compile study guides for Zinnia. With enough effort, they could improve Zinnia’s grades in these subjects.

William also analyzed Zinnia’s test paper. Even with Lydia helping her predict some of the questions, she only managed to get two of them right.

Out of all the multiple–choice and fill–in–the–blank questions, she only got four right. William couldn’t help but wonder if there was something wrong with the way he was teaching.

Yannis saw Zinnia’s reflection in the glass door and turned to face her. “You’re back. Dinner’s ready.”

“Yannis, what did Mr. Baker say?” Zinnia began to study his expression.

Yannis replied, “Nothing much. He just told me to pay more attention to your studies and asked about your future plans.”

Zinnia was carefully studying his expression, which Yannis found amusing.

He said, “Get ready for dinner.”

Zinnia sat down, and Yannis took his place right beside her.

Somehow, Yannis no longer sat across from her, but right beside her.

As usual, the table was set with their customary three dishes and a soup: coleslaw, salad, bacon, and tomato soup.

Zinnia first picked some bacon, the very dish she had been craving since last night.

“Eat some greens as well,” Yannis said as he placed some vegetables on her plate.

“Yannis, how can you let this delicious meat touch these icky greens?” Zinnia said.

Zinnia pulled her plate away and shot Yannis a defiant look.

Zinnia didn’t mind other vegetables much, but found these leafy greens downright disgusting. Even Yannis’s cooking couldn’t make them tolerable.

“I’ll make you some meat dishes tomorrow,” Yannis toaxed.

Yannis picked up his own plate and moved his fork toward her mouth.

Zinnia’s plate held the bacon she loved, and she didn’t want those greens anywhere hear her favorite dish.

“Really?” Zinnia asked.

Zinnia wrinkled her nose at the greens in front of her and found them still as awful–smelling as ever. But the thought of having more meat dishes

tomorrow made the ordeal seem bearable.

She barely chewed the greens before swallowing them down and then immediately stuffed her mouth with bacon.

As the meat flavor flooded her mouth, Zinnia finally felt the relief wash over her.

“Yes, but you should eat at least three pieces of the greens.” Yannis nodded.

Zinnia absolutely detested leafy greens. If Yannis didn’t keep an eye on her, she wouldn’t touch a single bite.

If she should only eat what was in front of her, and all she had were leafy greens, she’d rather just eat bread and leave the greens untouched.

But the doctor had said she needed to eat more greens, so every day, Yannis racked his brains to coax her into eating them.

“You liar. You hadn’t said I had to eat three pieces.” Zinnia glared at Yannis. With her bright, fierce eyes, she looked like a bristling little hedgehog.

“But I didn’t say you could only have one piece,” Yannis teased, barely holding back a smile as he leisurely enjoyed his food.

“But you never said it had to be three pieces,” Zinnia shot back.

Yannis replied, “I’ll cook fish for you tomorrow.”

“I want salmon,” Zinnia blurted out.

“But three pieces of greens,” Yannis said.

“Fine. Deal,” Zinnia grumbled.

Zinnia stuffed two more pieces of vegetables into her mouth.

They only had dinner together. At lunchtime, Zinnia usually ate at the school cafeteria or went out with Maisie, On weekends, unless she went out, Yannis would have someone deliver meals to her.

“Zinnia, have you thought about which college you’d like to attend?” Yannis asked as he helped her with another bacon.

“With my grades, no way I’d get in.” Zinnia’s eyes crinkled into little crescents as she happily munched on her meat.

Zinnia wasn’t the type to stress over grades. Worst case, she thought she could go back to the small town and grow herbs, treat patients when they came, and just tend to her plants when they didn’t.

Once her master came back, she would ask him what she should do next.

Yannis recalled what Maisie had told Yvette when she got home. He glanced at Zinnia and asked, “I heard you want to go to Mealini. Why is that?”

“I just want to go out and look around.” Zinnia’s chewing paused briefly before she quickly resumed as if nothing had happened.

She thought, ‘I can’t very well say I suspect Master is in Mealinia. But he’s not the type to randomly ask if I want to go there without a reason.

Her master disappeared without a trace, and she had no leads at all. Zinnia wondered if he was in Mealinia, so she wanted to go check.
