“It’s not like you don’t have the money. Just listen to the doctor. I sent your wife over to take care of you. You can use this time to make amends with her.”
Zachary grimaced. “Make amends? Things are fine between us.”
“Heh.”
Josh had grown used to Zachary’s stubbornness.
A certain someone had a massive argument with his wife over something trivial. That same someone had even given her the cold shoulder. Yet, he rushed back the moment he heard she was out drinking at a bar. Zachary had been contradicting himself from the start.
“Did the Stones send you an invitation to their party?”
“Yeah. I plan to attend. Don’t worry, I won’t betray you.”
Zachary replied, “Seren will think there’s something between us if she hears you. I’ll beat you up if you come between us.”
“How can I come between you when your relationship is solid? I don’t even have a wife yet, but I’m working on it. I’ll be the one in trouble if Ms. Sox thinks I have feelings for you.”
“The Stones invited Ms. Sox to the party as well,” Josh added to clarify his presence at the event.
“My wife is coming back. I’m going to hang up now.”
With his ears catching the familiar footsteps outside, Zachary told Josh, “Don’t call me unless it’s an emergency while I’m focusing on my recovery.”
“Your wife coming back doesn’t interfere with our conversation, does it?”
“I’m a patient now. My wife is strict and wants me to rest.”
Josh was left speechless.
Why
Did he get the impression that Zachary was showing off his relationship again? The guy was boasting about having someone who cared for him during his illness. Zachary hung up the phone, placed it down, and lay back as if nothing had happened, closing his eyes. He only opened them when Serenity entered the room. Serenity brought the thermometer and checked his temperature, noting the time as well. She then sat on the bed and pulled out her phone to watch videos. A few minutes later, she removed the thermometer from his armpit, glanced at it, and said, “Your temperature is down to thirty-eight degrees Celsius.” Now, she could relax a bit.
