Chapter 674
Serenity immediately put her arms up in surrender as she exclaimed, “Zachary, don’t talk
that way. It doesn’t sound good when you elongate your creaky voice. You’re trying to act
cute, but it’s not working. You sound like you’re going through puberty. Fine, I’ll kiss you,
okay? Stop the cute act. It’s giving me the creeps.”
Zachary stared at Serenity begrudgingly.
It was not like he wanted to do it.
He did not know how to act cute anyway.
Thankfully, his voice had turned hoarse. Without the raspy voice, Serenity would call him
out for using the high pitch tone.
Enter title…
Never mind. He could forget the moé act.
Serenity gave Zachary what he wanted and tenderly kissed him on the cheek. She
asked, “Happy now?”
During the kiss, Zachary closed his eyes and felt the affectionate tingle on his cheek.
Although he could not feel the warmth as she had a mask on, Zachary could feel the
love she had for him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThat was right-love.
Zachary was content.
It left him more satisfied than when she flirted with him and their tongues danced along.
The way Serenity kissed him right now was without the usual banter.
Serenity reached out to caress his face while demonstrating the heartache in her eyes.
She said, ” You’re thirty now, and yet you don’t know how to take care of yourself. You
make me all worried. Look at you. You lost a lot of weight. I bet you’ve been skipping
meals during your business trip.”
Grabbing her arm, Zachary held her hands against his face as he locked his tender eyes
on her beautiful face. face as he locked his tender eyes on her beautiful face. He
whispered, “The last thing I expected was to catch a cold. I didn’t mean to make you
worry about me. I didn’t have the appetite since you weren’t here to eat with me. Plus,
the piling work and lack of appetite caused me to drop in weight.”
Truth be told, he did not lose any weight.
Nevertheless, he must have slimmed down if his wife
said so.
He was what his wife said.
“Who would expect to get sick? You should put on layers. It’s colder here than in
Wiltspoon.
Zachary refuted, “I showered in cold water…”
“You showered in cold water? No wonder you got sick.”
Serenity’s hand resting against his face immediately went for a pinch. “Are you trying to
show off? Taking a cold shower in the middle of winter? Do you want me to pour a
bucket of ice on you while you shower? I can guarantee that it will be more than
refreshing.”
Zachary looked at her with his eyes burning with passion.
Serenity did not get it in the beginning, but the look on Zachary’s face brought her back
to the time he changed her clothes…
That must be the reason for the cold shower.
Drawing her arm back, Serenity acted like nothing ever happened and grabbed the pills
by the bedside table. She took a look and asked, “When are you supposed to take
these? Is it time for your medicine?”
“I think I have to take them in another hour or so. I’m still on IV drips, so I don’t need any
more medicine. Pills have side effects too, you know.”
Serenity responded, “That’s true. I’ll ask the doctor to give you a jab when he comes for
his rounds in the morning. Injections work faster, and you usually only
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmneed to take it once.”
Zachary was speechless.
He hated medicine, but compared to jabs, he would
rather take the pills.
Injections were the worst.
It would kill him just to take one jab.
“There’s some fruits and desserts, Seren. Do you want
some?”
“I’m not hungry now.”
Serenity looked at the time before sitting down on the
bed for accompanying family members. Pulling her phone out, she said to Zachary as
she got ready to pass the time on videos, “Get some sleep. I’ll wake you when it’s time
for your medicine. I’ll sleep when you’re done with the IV drips.”
“I’ll watch the time. You can sleep. I just woke up, so I don’t feel like sleeping now.”
Zachary felt bad to let his wife stay up all night.
Serenity moved her gaze away from her mobile screen
and to his face. She told him off, “Are you the patient, or am I the patient? I’m here to
look after you. You better be snoring, or I’ll feel bad for getting the salary from Mr.
Tank.”
Zachary was lost for words.
