It doesn\u2019t sound good when you stretch out your creaky voice. You\u2019re trying to be cute, but it\u2019s not working. You sound like you\u2019re going through puberty. Fine, I\u2019ll kiss you, okay? Just stop the cute act; it\u2019s giving me the creeps.\u201d <\/div>\n<div>Zachary looked at Serenity with a reluctant expression.<\/div>\n<div>It wasn\u2019t that he wanted to act that way.<\/div>\n<div>He didn\u2019t even know how to be cute, to begin with.<\/div>\n<div>Fortunately, his voice had turned hoarse. Without the raspy tone, Serenity would have called him out for using a high-pitched voice.<\/div>\n<div>Never mind; he could forget the cute act.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity gave Zachary what he wanted and gently kissed him on the cheek. She asked, \u201cAre you happy now?\u201d<\/div>\n<div>During the kiss, Zachary closed his eyes and felt the warm affection on his cheek. Although he couldn\u2019t feel her warmth due to her mask, he could sense the love she had for him.<\/div>\n<div>That was right\u2014love.<\/div>\n<div>Zachary felt content.<\/div>\n<div>It left him feeling more satisfied than when she flirted with him and their tongues danced together. The way Serenity kissed him now lacked the usual playful banter.<\/div>\n<div>Serenity reached out to caress his face, her eyes reflecting heartache. She said, \u201cYou\u2019re thirty now, and yet you still don\u2019t know how to take care of yourself. You\u2019re making me worry. Just look at you; you\u2019ve lost a lot of weight. I bet you\u2019ve been skipping meals during your business trip.\u201d <\/div>\n<div>Grabbing her arm, Zachary held her hands against his face as he locked his gentle gaze on her stunning features. He whispered, \u201cThe last thing I expected was to catch a cold. I never meant to make you worry about me. I just haven\u2019t had an appetite since you weren\u2019t around.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou should eat with me,\u201d he said. However, the stress from work and his lack of appetite led to some weight loss. Truth be told, he hadn\u2019t actually lost any weight. Still, if his wife claimed he had slimmed down, then he must have. He was what his wife said he was. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWho would have expected to get sick? You should wear layers; it\u2019s colder here than in Wiltspoon,\u201d she remarked. <\/p>\n<p>Zachary replied, \u201cI showered in cold water\u2026\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou showered in cold water? No wonder you got sick!\u201d Serenity exclaimed. She placed her hand on his face and then pinched him playfully. \u201cAre you trying to show off? Taking a cold shower in the middle of winter? Should I pour a bucket of ice on you while you shower? I can assure you it will be more than refreshing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary gazed at her with intense eyes, filled with passion. At first, Serenity didn\u2019t understand, but his expression reminded her of the time he helped her change clothes\u2026 That must be why he took a cold shower. <\/p>\n<p>Pulling her arm back, Serenity pretended nothing had happened and reached for the pills on the bedside table. She glanced at them and asked, \u201cWhen are you supposed to take these? Is it time for your medicine?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think I need to take them in about an hour. Since I\u2019m still on IV drips, I don\u2019t need any more medicine right now. Pills have side effects, you know.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s true,\u201d Serenity replied. \u201cI\u2019ll ask the doctor to give you an injection when he comes for his rounds in the morning. Injections work faster, and you usually only need to take them once.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary was at a loss for words. He despised medicine, but compared to injections, he would prefer the pills. Just the thought of getting a jab made him uneasy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s some fruit and desserts, Seren. Would you like some?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not hungry right now.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Serenity glanced at the time before sitting on the bed next to her family members. Pulling out her phone, she said to Zachary as she prepared to pass the time watching videos, \u201cGet some sleep. I\u2019ll wake you when it\u2019s time for your medicine. I\u2019ll sleep once you\u2019re done with the IV drips.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ll keep track of the time. You can sleep. I just woke up, so I don\u2019t feel like sleeping right now.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary felt guilty about keeping his wife awake all night. <\/p>\n<p>Serenity shifted her gaze from her phone to his face and scolded him, \u201cAre you the patient, or am I? I\u2019m here to take care of you. You better be snoring, or I\u2019ll feel bad for accepting a salary from Mr. Tank.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Zachary was left speechless.<\/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 674 Serenity immediately raised her arms in surrender and exclaimed, \u201cZachary, please don\u2019t speak that way.
