Chapter 676
"Do you want some water?"
"I don't feel like drinking any. I don't want to rush to the loo so often. It's not very convenient for me to go to the loo right now."
Serenity had no words.
Since Zachary did not want to sleep, Serenity stopped watching videos on her phone and chatted with him. She did most of the
talking while he listened intently.
As she blabbered on, Zachary's eyes grew heavy until he finally drifted into slumberland.
Once the bag of IV fluid hooked to Zachary was empty, Serenity rang the nurse to change a new bag before returning to the
dependent's bed and getting on her phone.
However, her eyes began to grow heavy as well. She could barely stay awake.
In case she fell asleep, Serenity put down her phone and got out of bed to head to the loo. She removed her mask and splashed
her face with cold water to freshen up.
Serenity waited until the last bag of IV fluid was
emptied before waking Zachary up for his medicine. It was only then she caught up on sleep.
The following day, Serenity was woken up by her ringing phone.
It was her sister.
"Liberty."
"Seren, how is Zachary doing?" Liberty asked with concern.
Sitting up, Serenity looked at Zachary who was in bed. He was still asleep. She went over and felt his forehead.
Realizing it was hot, she said, "His temperature went down to thirty-eight degrees Celsius before I went to bed. He's feverish
again."
"Isn't he in the hospital?"
"He's caught the viral flu. The doctor said his fever will come and go. It's okay, Liberty. Don't worry. Is Sonny up yet?"
"Not yet."
Liberty urged, "Take care of yourself too. Don't overtire yourself."
"I will, Liberty."
The sisters chatted for a while before ending the call. Serenity looked at the time and woke Zachary up for another round of
medication.
By the time the doctor made his rounds, Zachary's temperature went down once more. He looked better too.
Mr. Tank dropped by to deliver a hot breakfast to the couple. Mr. Tank's wife made breakfast for them. Serenity continued to feed
Zachary spoon by spoon.
She believed she should do a better job in Mr. Tank's
presence since she was taking a salary from him. Otherwise, Mr. Tank would think she was not worth thepay.
Watching the scene unfold, Mr. Tank thought the CEO's wife was really good to Mr. York.
She was considerate and gentle.
No wonder Mr. York doted on his wife.
Gentleness could soften a hardened heart.
Plus, Mr. York was kinder in attitude toward him. Mr. York did not object to the doctor's recommendation to
remain in the hospital.
Mr. Bucham was right.
With the CEO's wife around, she would have everything covered and save their *sses.
"Doctor, can my husband's medicine be switched to a jab instead?" Serenity asked the doctor.
Zachary was rendered speechless.
Did he really need a shot?
Why did he have to bring up the side effects of the medicine?
The doctor replied, "He can take a shot, but injections
tend to be potent and can cause adverse reactions like nausea and sores."
Mr. Tank jumped in, "It's okay, doctor. Just give Mr. York the best cure."
Zachary immediately gave Mr. Tank a dirty look.
Mr. Tank was dumbstruck by the glare.
Did he say something wrong?
Mr. York did not want to stay in the hospital, and the shot could be his answer out of the place.
The doctor uttered, "Since you requested a shot, I'll arrange to replace the pills with one."
Zachary wanted to scowl but was afraid his wife might catch his expression.
All he could do was curse Mr. Tank in his mind.
