Chapter 666
Alice's uncle was a doctor who specialized in alternative medicine.
Whenever a family member was not feeling well, Alice would go to her uncle and ask for a remedy.
Clive really could not stand the awful taste of alternative medicine.
Hence, he looked after himself and tried not to get sick. He would hide from his wife if he had the occasional sniffles.
Serenity's worry for Zachary was like Alice's worry for him. Clive soothed Serenity, "Don’t let your nerves get the best of you. You
want to get to the Buchams' residence? I'll drive you there."
'Thank you, Clive."
Tilting his head, Clive told his wife, "Wait for me at home, Alice. I'll drive Serenity to the Buchams'. I don't feel good getting
someone else to drive her."
Alice replied, "Sure. Go ahead."
"Clive, Alice, the chauffeur can drive me if you have something to do."
"What's the matter?"
Liberty had just gotten her son out of the shower when she heard her sister talking in the hallway. With Sonny in her arms, she
walked out of the room and popped a question.
Noticing the bag in her sister’s hand, she asked, "Where are you going, Seren?"
"Zachary's sick. I need to see him, Liberty."
Following the mention of Zachary's name, Clive and his wife nervously looked at the stairway. It was a good thing their mother
and sister were on the first floor, so they could not hear Serenity.
"He's sick? Is it bad? Does he need to be hospitalized?"
Liberty asked worriedly, "Did he overtire himself?"
For her sister to rush there, stat, the man must be in the hospital.
Liberty's mind wandered far. What would her sister do if the unthinkable were to happen to Zachary?
The couple had only been married for a few months, and the wedding had not been organized.
"Don't worry, Liberty. It's only a cold. He tried to tough it out, but it got worse. I'm worried about him, so I need to see him. I’ll be
back once he's all better.
'Tm heading to the Buchams' residence now, Liberty. His colleague will arrange a private plane for me to get there."
Hearing that her brother-in-law caught a cold, Liberty did not feel as tense as before. She said, "Hurry there then."
Clive jumped in. ’Tm driving Serenity to the Buchams', Liberty."
"Alright. Thank you, Clive."
Clive and Liberty were born in the same year, but Clive was a few months older than Liberty.
"Don't mention it."
Clive, Alice, and Liberty walked with Serenity down the stairs.
"Aunt Audrey."
Serenity had to let Mrs. Stone know since she was leaving. Serenity uttered, "Aunt Audrey, my husband isn't feeling well. I need
to head there to take care of him for a few days. I might not be able to make it back for the party tomorrow night.
"I'm so sorry, Aunt Audrey."
The Stones was hosting the party just for the sisters.
Yet, Serenity would not be able to make it.
She felt sorry about it.
Mrs. Stone asked with concern, "How's your husband doing now? It's okay. You can go and care for him. Don't force yourself to
rush back to the party if you can't. I don’t want you to tire yourself out. Your sister and Sonny are here anyway."
"It's a bad case of cold and fever. He's a heedless and stubborn man. He likes to tough it out on his own. I fear his illness might
worsen if I'm not there to watch him."
Mrs. Stone answered, "It's the same for all the men. How are you getting there?"
