Chapter 948<\/div>\n
The large needle, which promised great pain, hovered ominously in front of Zachary\u2019s face.<\/div>\n
\u201cCome here so I can give you your injection,\u201d Serenity commanded, her expression stern.<\/div>\n
Mr. York sat up, his face reflecting his dismay. Glancing at the large needle, he gulped and asked hesitantly, \u201cSeren, could you prepare some painkillers for after?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWhat do you think?\u201d<\/div>\n
Zachary dared not say more under the intense gaze of his esteemed wife. As he reached for the large needle, fear gripped him at the thought of the impending pain.<\/div>\n
\u201cSeren, it\u2019s too early. Can I do it a bit later?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s your choice.\u201d<\/div>\n
Serenity settled into the armchair, leaning back. She then pulled out her phone and sent a voice message to her sister. \u201cLiberty, make sure to lock the door from the inside. I won\u2019t be coming back tonight.\u201d<\/div>\n
Upon hearing this, Zachary\u2019s expression brightened.<\/div>\n
The corners of his lips couldn\u2019t help but curl upward.<\/div>\n
Even though his stomach ached and he still faced the large needle for a painful injection, the entire situation meant that Serenity would stay overnight.<\/div>\n
Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed Zachary\u2019s cheerful demeanor. Looking around, she finally picked up a pillow and tossed it at him, scolding, \u201cZachary, don\u2019t you dare starve yourself again! Do you think I\u2019ll care?\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cI won\u2019t care! Not at all! I\u2019ll take delight in your excruciating pain, and it\u2019ll be fantastic! You\u2019re in your thirties and still don\u2019t know how to take care of yourself. What\u2019s the purpose of a mouth? It\u2019s for eating!\u201d<\/div>\n
Even when she was angriest or saddest, she never skipped a meal.<\/div>\n
Zachary caught the pillow she threw. \u201cSeren, I\u2019ll be more careful in the future. I won\u2019t make you worry again.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cWho\u2019s worried?! I\u2019m not worried at all! You think\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cYou think you\u2019re all that?!\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cAlright, alright. I guess I do think I\u2019m all that. I\u2019ll get them to give me everything I need to keep thinking so,\u201d he replied. <\/p>\n

Serenity was left speechless. <\/p>\n

\u201cSeren.\u201d <\/p>\n

Zachary stood up and moved to sit beside his wife. He squeezed himself into the armchair with her, and despite her attempts to shove him away in frustration, he remained firmly in place, taking up most of the seat. <\/p>\n

The tight squeeze made her want to stand up and leave, but he wrapped his arms around her waist. With a show of strength, she suddenly tumbled into his lap. He pulled her close, resting his chin on her shoulder, and softly asked, \u201cSeren, will you please forgive me?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cThe days I couldn\u2019t search for you were incredibly difficult. I felt like a zombie.\u201d <\/p>\n

Even though he could track her movements at any moment, he still missed her desperately. <\/p>\n

\u201cI promise I won\u2019t lie to you again. If I do, I\u2019ll accept any consequences you throw my way.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity tried to pry his hands off her, but after failing, she pinched the back of his hand a few times with force. With a stiff expression, she said, \u201cI never said you couldn\u2019t come looking for me.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cNana wouldn\u2019t let me.\u201d <\/p>\n

Zachary added with a pitiful tone, \u201cOne night, I got drunk, and do you know how Nana woke me up?\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cShe poured a bucket of cold water over your head.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cNo, she had someone set up a deck chair by the pool and laid me on it. When I rolled over, I fell into the pool. It shocked me awake instantly\u2014partly from the cold.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity was left speechless. <\/p>\n

Only Nana would do something like that. <\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I sobered up, Nana wouldn\u2019t let me go find you. She insisted that I let you calm down. Only God knows how hard it was for me to go days without seeing you.\u201d<\/p>\n

I only immerse myself in my work. When I\u2019m busy, I don\u2019t miss you as much\u2026 I truly didn\u2019t mean to evoke your pity. <\/p>\n

\u201cI know I made you lose trust in me, and I deeply regret it. I want to prove myself through my actions and help you trust me again. I promise I won\u2019t even consider deceiving you again.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSeren, I\u2019ve thought this through. You can pursue whatever you want, and I\u2019ll support you unconditionally. If you feel out of place in my world, you don\u2019t have to force yourself. I\u2019ll adapt to you instead; it\u2019s much easier than expecting you to adapt to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe a simple life, where we live on our own terms, is quite good.\u201d <\/p>\n

Serenity turned to face him. <\/p>\n

Their eyes locked. <\/p>\n

In the next instant, Serenity grabbed Zachary\u2019s face and fiercely bit his lip, then proceeded to bite each of his cheeks as well.<\/p>\n
