Unconscious and carefully moved, Zinnia was safely transferred to Xyriel's room without encountering any problems. Following Xyriel's explicit instructions, only Sofia, Malone, a personal doctor, and Xyriel himself were permitted entry into his room.
He made it clear that no one else should go in or out without his explicit permission as it was crucial to keep Zinnia's presence there under wraps to prevent any unwarranted rumors from circulating among the staff.
In the midst of their collective wait for Zinnia to awaken from her deep slumber, Xyriel diligently attended to his daily tasks, periodically checking on her during breaks.
Night after night, he sat by her bedside, clasping her hands tenderly and softly conversing with her, despite the absence of any response. At times, he would lay down beside her, still holding her hands, and slowly drift into sleep, only to wake up the next morning and find Zinnia still in the same state of deep sleep.
