Chapter 671
Serenity said, "Okay. We'll do as the doctor said. We'll keep him in the hospital for a few days until he's well enough to be
discharged. His work... His salary...”
With Zachary in the hospital, Serenity was hoping to get him to rest for a few days.
His boss owned the company. The company was not Zachary’s, so why must he devote his everything when he was sick?
The manager jumped in. "Don't worry, Ms. Hunt. We'll take over Mr. York's work. We promise that we won't bother him about
work while he's in the hospital. Mr. York is on a business trip, so his salary is not affected."
York Corporation belonged to Mr. York. Yet, the CEO's wife was asking about Mr. York's salary. She was worried whether his
salary would be cut since he had to remain in the hospital.
‘Thank you.”
Serenity expressed her gratitude, under the impression that she got her man a few days of paid leave.
"Ms. Hunt, do you need us here to look after Mr. York?"
Serenity asked, "How many bags of IV fluid does he need to be on?"
"One more bag and he's done."
"I'll stay with him. I came here to look after him anyway."
The manager uttered gratefully, ‘Thank you for coming all the way to take care of Mr. York. It makes things a lot easier for us."
They had intended to assign their secretary to look after Zachary, but
Zachary had a thing against young women getting close to him. In the end, they gave up on the idea of getting the secretary
here.
With the CEO's wife here, it showed that she felt deeply for Mr. York. The manager and deputy manager were envious of their
relationship. Although they had no idea when Mr. York had gotten married, the woman must be the CEO's wife because Mr.
Bucham said so.

Another thing was that they did not have to face Mr. York, who hated the hospital so much, all day every day.
"Here are a few desserts Mr. York got for you, Ms. Hunt. We have fresh fruit and milk too. I'll pay you for your time to come here
and care for Mr. York. Come to the office to see me when Mr. York is discharged from the hospital."
Serenity did not refuse the manager's offer to pay for her time.
The way she saw it, her man had to go off on a business trip for the company during the weekend and ended up in the hospital
from a nasty cold. Serenity had no qualms about accepting the pay for taking care of Zachary.
"Ms. Hunt, we got to go. Call us if you need anything."
The manager said before leaving together with the deputy manager.
Once out of the ward, the deputy manager said to his boss, "Mr. Tank, Mr. York is pretending to be asleep?”
"Pretending?"
Mr. Tank was puzzled. "I thought Mr. York was asleep."
"Mr. York can play pretend all he wants. Mr. Bucham said that we can leave Mr. York to the CEO's wife when she gets here. The
missus will have everything covered. We're safe once she's here."
‘Though, I never heard from headquarters that Mr. York was married."
The deputy manager gossiped as they walked away.
Mr. Tank turned his head and replied, "Whatever Mr. Bucham says can't go wrong. We're far from Wiltspoon. It's a two-hour
journey by flight, so of course, we don’t know about Mr. York's marriage. Based on my observations, the missus doesn't seem to
know about Mr. York's real position in the company.”
She mentioned Mr. York's salary.
"Mr. York told me to buy some fruits and desserts when he found out that Ms. Hunt was on her way over. I can tell from these
gestures that Mr. York is good to Ms. Hunt.”
The deputy manager complimented, "You have a keen observation, Mr. Tank."

Serenity was in the dark about the conversation between the managers. She stared at Zachary who was in bed and felt his head
from time to time. With each touch, the frown on her face deepened.
Zachary's temperature had not gone down.
After feeling his temperature once more, Serenity sat down on a chair by the bed. She pulled out her phone to send her sister
and the others a text message to inform them that she was at the hospital with Zachary. She told her sister about Zachary's
condition.
