Chapter 171
Zinnia’s eyelids drooped with exhaustion as she stifled a yawn. When she heard Yannis’s words, her eyes widened. She never imagined he’d ask her to stay.
Yannis bent down and said, “You can stay here with me, no rent. But in return, Zinnia, could you help treat my condition?”
The moment Yannis made this proposal, Maisie and the others all turned to stare at him in shock.
Meeting their astonished gazes, Yannis nodded and I said, “Zinnia can treat my insomnia and help regulate my health. Rest assured, she won’t be wronged while she’s with me.”
Yannis’s insomnia had always been a headache for everyone. As soon as he mentioned it, all eyes immediately turned to him.
The smile on Raymond’s face faded and was replaced by a look of grave concern. He stepped forward and said seriously, “Yannis, let me check your pulse.”
Yannis offered his wrist to Raymond.
After checking Yannis’s condition, Raymond turned to Zinnia. “Zinnia, have you been helping Yannis with his health?” he asked, a hint of surprise and approval in his voice.
The moment Raymond took Yannis’s pulse, he immediately noticed the subtle changes in Yannis’s condition. After all, no one knew Yannis’s health better than Raymond.
Raymond was at his wits‘ end with Yannis. He prescribed medicine, but Yannis refused to take it. He told Yannis to go to bed early, yet Yannis never listened.
Raymond often worried that one day, Yannis’s body would reach a breaking point and he’d completely break down.
Raymond thought, ‘Although Yannis’s health hasn’t improved much yet, as long as his insomnia can gradually be brought under control, his physical depletion can be restored. Once this problem is solved, everything else will fall into place.
‘That incident left such deep scars on Yannis, even hypnosis couldn’t erase those memories.‘
Zinnia replied, “Yes, his constitution is a bit weak, so I prepared some Soothing Soup for him.”
“Did Yannis drink the coup?” Raymond asked again, his voice trembling with barely contained excitement.
“Yes, he did,” Zinnia replied, genuinely puzzled by their surprised looks. She thought, ‘Why is everyone so shocked? Isn’t that what patients are supposed
to do?‘
If Zinnia knew how Yannis had resisted medicine, she’d probably understand why everyone was so shocked.
Yannis had always been resistant to taking medicine since he was a child, No matter how others tried to force it down his throat, beat him, and scold him, even after breaking his ribs, he would just clench his jaw and refuse to take it.
Even when he was sick, he’d rather tough it out than take any pills:
Upon learning that Zinnia could cure Yannis’s insomnia and that Yannis was willing to take the medicine prescribed by Zinnia, Raymond was very pleased. He wished that Zinnia could live with Yannis forever.
He said, “Henry, let Zinnia stay here with Yanniş. Yannis may seem a bit unreliable, but he is trustworthy. Just let Zinnia stay here. With Yannis around, the Shaw family won’t dare come and trouble Zinnia again.
“Zinnia is in her senior year now, with a heavy academic workload. Constantly moving isn’t good for her. This place is close to school, so she can get a bit more sleep in the mornings.

“If she ever needs help with her studies, Yannis can tutor her.”
Raymond listed all these advantages,
Wette and the others were equally
Henry asked gently, “Zinnia, would you
persuade Henry and others to agree to Zinnia living with Yannis,
that Zinnia could treat Yannis’s insomnia.
6 to stay with Yannis? Only if you want to.”
The Lynn’s were genuinely surprised that Zinnia could help with Yannis’s insomnia. They knew just how much Raymond worried about Yannis. Whether out of friendship or simply because they cared for Yannis, the Lynns didn’t want anything bad to happen to Yannis.
