Zinnia's life was spared, all thanks to Malone's swift action and ability to react promptly.
Had Malone not acted swiftly, the situation could have escalated, causing irreparable harm to Zinnia. Luckily, he managed to summon a doctor immediately, who administered an antidote just in time to counteract the poison.
With urgency, Malone hastened to inform the King and Queen, they then hurried to Zinnia's side upon hearing the grave news. Witnessing her frail state on the bed, the Queen was overcome with tears, gently clasping Zinnia's cold hands.
The doctor's diagnosis was grim, indicating that although Zinnia had received the antidote, the extent of the poison in her system suggested she might not regain consciousness anytime soon.
