“Linda, hurry up! Get the chef to make Yosef some soup–it’ll warm his stomach,” Maelis called out,

“Mr. Your Shaw, Mrs. Shaw, I’m afraid there’s no soup left,” Linda said hesitantly, stepping forward with an apologetic look.
“What do you mean there’s no soup? Don’t you know Yosef needs it regularly for his health Marlis’s tone sharpered, her ram display of angering her mounting frustration, it felt as though everything was conspiring against her.
“Mrs. Shaw, the ingredients for the soup were always provided by Ms. Zinnia Show, She knew Mr. Yosef Shaw had stomach issues, so she would prepune the ingredients for us to make the soup,” Linda explained, her head slightly bowed.
It wasn’t as if Yosef had always had soup to drink, it only became a regular thing aher Zinnia started providing the ingredients. Now that she’s been driven away, there’s no one to prepare them anymore.
They didn’t appreciate Zinnia when she was here, but now that she’d gone, everyone seemed to want something from her
“Zinnia provided it?” The group was completely taken aback by this revelation.
“My soup was prepared by Zinnia?” Yoser’s voice carried a note of disbelief, his expression stunned. He hadn’t expected the soup he relied on to be her doing.
His stomach had always been sensitive, making it hard for him to eat certain foods. With frequent social engagements and occasional drinking, his stomach often felt uncomfortable, leaving him restless at night.
But at some point, the house started serving soup that soothed his stomach and left him feeling refreshed. Yosef had grown quite fond of it
Every time he returned home, Linda would bring him a bowl of soup. After drinking it, he could finally get a good night’s sleep
The next day, he’d feel energized for work, and the soup even seemed to have some nourishing effects. He never imagined it was Zinnia who had been behind it all.
ways seemed so happy watching Mr. Yosef Shaw enjoy the soup,” Linda replied softly, her gaze lowered.
“Yes, it was Ms. Zinnia Shaw. She always
“Then why isn’t she sending it now? Couldn’t she have prepared extra partions for her brother? Maels blurted out, clearly surprised by Zinnia’s actions. Her expression turned awkward as she realized what she’d said.
“Yosef works hard for the family, ensuring we all live well. Why wouldn’t she prepare more for him?” Macks continued, her tone growing increasingly self- righteous
After all, Yosef worked tirelessly for the family, even earning the money for her allowance. It was only natural for Zinnia to treat him well.
Linda was speechless and she knew they got Zinnia away
“There were no extra portions. Every time, Ms. Zinnia Shaw personally brought the ingredients to us,” Linda stated honest
Timothy had just walked through the door when he overheard Linda in the living room, and it made him pause. So, even tosel’s health soup had been provided by Zinnia,
“Why can’t any of you remember these things? Now look, Zinnia’s gone, and what is Yosef supposed to drink? Honestly, this is just ridiculous.” Melis snapped, her imitation evident.
Linda kept her head down, not daring to respond. When the family was venting, it wasn’t her place to chime in. Besides, no one would’ve thought they’d manage to drive Zinnia away in just two months.
“Alright, Mom. Linda, please ask the chel to make me a bowl of soup.” Yosef said, his tone calm but firm.
“Yes, sir,” Linda replied before quietly leaving the room

Yosef eventually finished his soup and returned in his room. After spending some time working in the study, he had earlier left his stomach unsettled.

Yosef hesitated for a moment, then started typing. After some thought, he sent a message: [Zinnia, where do you get the ingredients for your health soup? Could you make another batch for me? I’m willing to pay!
He hit send, but a red exclamation mark appeared: You are not her friend Yosef froze, staring at the screen in disbelief. She had dalened him
Zinnia had no idea what was going on with the Shaw family. Her days were simple and peaceful–attending classes, finishing homework, and heading home, Soon, she received the news that a new place had been found for her.
Jackson worked quickly. Within two days, he had secured a house that was perfect for Zinnia. “Zinnia, let’s go check out the new place,” he said warmly
That weekend, Jackson took Zinnia to see the house.
“Zinnia, this place has great security, all the facilities you’d need, and it’s super close to school–just a five–minute walk. You can even sleep ina longer in the mornings,” Jackson explained as they strolled through the neighborhood.
The house was located in one of Jinston’s most exclusive neighborhoods, where wealth, status, and power were prerequisites for residency
Despite being in the bustling city center, the area was surprisingly quiet and serene, with the school conveniently situated right across the street
The property was a spacious 300–square–meter flat with a garden. Bright and airy, the interior had already been decorated in a cozy off–white palette thanks to Jackson’s arrangements.
“Jackson, isn’t this place way too big for just me?” Zinnia asked, her voice filled with surprise.
“Not at all. You deserve the very best, Zinnia,” Jackson replied with a firm yet affectionate nod
