Avoid cold drinks, and schedule a doctor\u2019s appointment after work. Why not go now instead? Don\u2019t delay. Do you have a fever?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary raised his arm to check his forehead. It was hot\u2014no wonder he felt lightheaded.<\/div>\n<div>However, he chose not to reveal the truth to Serenity. \u201cI don\u2019t have a fever. Don\u2019t worry. I\u2019m feeling fine. I\u2019ll pick up some medicine from the pharmacy later. How are things at your aunt\u2019s?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cAre your uncle and cousins treating you well?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou seem a bit flushed. Are you sure you don\u2019t have a fever, Zachary?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Serenity was quite observant.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMy uncle and cousins are great. I don\u2019t need to say much about Elisa. We get along really well. Zachary, there\u2019s something special about blood relations. Elisa and I had never met before and didn\u2019t even realize we were cousins, but we clicked instantly.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary smiled. \u201cPlease send my regards to your aunt since I can\u2019t visit her yet. I\u2019ll have time during the New Year\u2019s holidays, and I\u2019ll go with you to see her then.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>He planned to reveal his true identity to Serenity before visiting the Stones.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary was prepared to accept any reaction Serenity might have.<\/div>\n<div>As his nana always said, he deserved it.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cMy aunt understands. She mentioned that tomorrow\u2019s party is to introduce me and my sister to everyone. It would be wonderful if you could join us, Zachary. I\u2019m not really fond of these events; I feel more at ease when you\u2019re by my side.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>\u201cYou provide me with a sense of security. You always find a way to help me out of any trouble. To me, you\u2019re like a superhero, Zachary.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary laughed. \u201cI\u2019m just fortunate to be able to help you. Let me know if you ever find yourself in a situation\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a problem you can\u2019t solve,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry too much about the party. Your aunt is well-respected in Wiltspoon. Now that she has finally found you, she wants to take you under her wing and introduce you to everyone at the party. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone will be kind to you out of respect for your aunt. You shouldn\u2019t feel burdened.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI want you by my side\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n<p>That was why she expressed her feelings so openly. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sorry, Seren,\u201d Zachary replied. <\/p>\n<p>Beyond the apology, he was unsure of what else to say. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I feel reassured with Elisa and Jasmine there. At least I\u2019ll know some people at the party.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cZachary, you don\u2019t look well. You should go to the hospital. I\u2019ll let you go for now, and I\u2019ll video call you when I have time tonight. If you look worse than you already do, you must send me your address so I can drag you to the doctor!\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity believed Zachary was the type to tough it out, even when he was unwell. <\/p>\n<p>Many thought that taking medication could prevent illness, while others would refuse it and push through, which often only worsened their condition. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity might have sounded stern, but Zachary interpreted it as her concern and care for him. <\/p>\n<p>Despite feeling light-headed, he sensed his sickness fading away due to Serenity\u2019s affection. <\/p>\n<p>He smiled and replied, \u201cI don\u2019t have time tonight. You\u2019ll be busy tomorrow too. Let\u2019s have a video chat in two days. If I\u2019m not better by then, you\u2019re welcome to drag me to the hospital.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 654 Communication was essential. \u201cSure.\u201d Zachary\u2019s mind, which had been preoccupied, was now at ease. \u201cYou\u2019re not feeling well.
