“Be careful of Donald. He might have been taken by those people. Make sure your brother assigns you
bodyguards,” Maelis said, her eyes filled with worry.
After hearing Maclis’s words, Zinnia’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. She rose to her feet, ready to leave.
Maclis’s gaze followed Zinnia to the door, her hand hovering over the doorknob. Through the glass, Maelis saw
Yannis waiting outside. “Zinnia.” She called, her voice trembling with emotion. Zinnia hesitated, her steps
faltering at the sound of Maelis’s voice.
“I'm sorry. From now on, forget aboutas your mother. | hope you never meet someone likeagain,” Maelis
said softly. Her gaze lingered affectionately on Zinnia’s slender and graceful figure.
She had grown up just as Maelis had always imagined, but Maelis hadn't been the one to raise her. That was a
debt she could never repay.
As a mother, she had failed Zinnia-perhaps even left her with psychological scars. With so little tleft, Maelis
just wanted to make up for it, even if only a little. For example, to heal the wounds caused by this so- called
mother.
At the very least, she hoped Zinnia wouldn't think all mothers were like her. She wanted her to believe there
were other moms out there who would truly love her.
Hearing the sorrow and calm in Maelis’s voice, Zinnia felt a strange, indescribable pang in her chest. Zinnia
didn’t turn around. “Serve your sentence well,” she said quietly. Her voice was steady, showing no emotion.
Leaving those words behind, she opened the door and walked out.
Maelis watched as Zinnia stood beside Yannis. He took her bag from her with practiced ease, his eyes full of
concern. ‘Yannis is really good to her, Maelis thought.
As someone who had been through life’s ups and downs, she knew exactly what Yannis thought. ‘With Yannis
protecting her, no one would dare bully her again,’ she mused.
The Perkins family stands by whoever they recognize. If Yannis protects her, her future will be smooth. Maelis
gazed at Zinnia’s face, her eyes lingering, as if to forever remember Zinnia.

“What did she tell you?” Yannis asked, his voice laced with concern. Zinnia stepped out of the visiting room,
letting out a heavy sigh as she tried to shake off the suffocating tightness in her chest.
“Let's talk outside first.” She murmured. ‘I really don’t want to stay here any longer, Zinnia thought.
“Alright,” Yannis said gently. Noticing Zinnia was feeling down, Yannis rummaged through his bag, unwrapped a
creamy milk candy, and handed it to her.

for walked out together. “Wait here a moment,” Yannis said as they reached the car. He held the door open
Zinnia to get in first.

Zinnia wasn’t sure what he was up to, but she softly murmured. “Okay.”

Yannis watched as Zinnia picked at the pom-poms on her scarf, then quickly headed to a nearby juice stand.
Zinnia didn’t have to wait long before the driver's door opened, letting in a rush of cold air with a faint hint of
mint.
She turned to see his slender, fair hand holding out a cup of orange juice. Seeing the orange juice, she
reached out her hand. But her hand was covered in tiny soft fibers from the pom-pom. She just held out her
hand, not moving.
Amused, Yannis set the orange juice on the armrest and took out a wet wipe to clean her hand. “Little
lazybones.” He teased.
Zinnia didn’t argue. Once the little fibers were wiped away, she picked up the orange juice from the armrest and
started sipping.
Zinnia took a sip of her orange juice, trying to soothe the tightness in her chest before speaking softly. “Yannis,
Maelis said a mysterious organization with skull insignias on their shoulders once approached Donald. She
believes he might have been taken and hidden by them.
“She also mentioned that someone had interrogated her before, asking about me. But she didn’t tell them
anything,” Zinnia added.
Maelis did have sleads on Donald. She told Zinnia that when the Shaw family was surrounded by wolves and
on the verge of bankruptcy, smysterious people had approached Donald.
Maelis hadn't known about this before; it was only when Donald begged for mercy and promised that if she let
him go, he could revive the Shaw family and they could return to their old life, that she found out.
That was when Maelis learned the truth. But at the time, she was in a frenzied state and didn’t believe a word he
said.
Later, on the day they were taken away by the police, Maelis strangled Donald half to death. A doctor gave her a
sedative, and after she was sent to prison, Maelis beceerily calm.
It was only then that she heard from the police that Donald had gone missing. Maelis and her two sons were
already in police custody; only Howard was still outside. Donald would never lay a hand on Howard.
She knew Donald all too well. Even she had once pinned all her resentment on Zinnia, so after being cuckolded
for over a decade and suffering such humiliation, Donald must be desperate to see Zinnia dead.
Not long ago, someone interrogated Maelis, but the questions weren't about her. They were all about Zinnia.
“What is she afraid of? What is she allergic to? Does she have anyone she cares about?” they asked.
Maelis instantly sensed something was wrong and pretended to be out of her mind, rambling nonsense. Besides,
she barely knew anything about Zinnia in the first place. She’d never really paid attention to Zinnia.
It wasn’t until the interrogators left that Maelis calmed down and realized something was off. Worried Zinnia
might be in danger, she begged the police to let her call Zinnia, hoping to warn her.
