Chapter 674


    Serenity immediately put her arms up in surrender as she eximed, “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.


    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.


    That 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, “Thest 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 andck 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 onyers. 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 hees for his rounds in


    the morning. Injections work faster, and you usually only need to take it once.”


    Zachary was speechless.


    He hated medicine, butpared 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 apanying 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 sry from Mr. Tank.”


    Zachary was lost for words.
