Chapter 670
“Mr. York, don’t try to adjust the drip. The nurse mentioned that you can’t rush
the IV drip.”
The manager stopped Zachary from adjusting the speed of the IV drips.
Zachary helplessly gave up.
“We’ll wait until your wife is here before heading home, Mr. York.”
Zachary abruptly lifted his head and stared at the two men.
“Is Seren coming over?”
The two men nodded in unison.
“Mr. Bucham said that your wife is worried about you and insisted on coming
here to take care of you. Mr. Bucham arranged for a private plane to fly her
here. She should be arriving any minute now.”
Zachary tried to get out of bed.
“The missus will give me a call when she gets off the plane, Mr. York. Mr.
Bucham has given her my phone number. Don’t worry, Mr. York. I’ll get the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmissus here safe and sound.”
Zachary sat back down and gave Serenity a call.
He intended to wait until dawn before contacting her.
It never occurred to him that Serenity would rush here.
It gave Zachary a feeling that Serenity put him first.
Since Serenity did not pick up the call, she must still be on the plane.
“Can you get chicken soup now? Plain soup would do too.”
“I’ll go out and check if it’s sold in any shop. Are you fancying some soup now?”
“Yeah. Get me some soup and some fresh fruit. Oh, get a few desserts too.”
The manager commented, “Mr. York… You can’t have desserts.”
“They’re for my wife.”
With realization hitting the manager, he said with a smile, “I’ll see if any shops
are open. The hospital is on a street of restaurants and cafes.”
These restaurants and cafes operated at midnight too. There was also a 24 –
hour bakery.
The manager exchanged a few words with the deputy manager before rushing
out to get Zachary some chicken soup, fresh fruits, and a few exquisite
desserts. He even made the call to buy a carton of milk.
He had just delivered the items to the ward when he received a call from
Serenity. Serenity had gotten off the plane.
The manager hurried back out to pick Serenity up.
Zachary told the manager not to call her the CEO’s wife when he met with
Serenity later.
“Um… How should I address the missus?”
“Her last name’s Hunt. You can call her Ms. Hunt or Mrs. York.”
Although the manager was puzzled by the request, he did as his boss told him
to.
Half an hour later, Serenity emerged in Zachary’s ward.
“Hello, Ms. Hunt,” the deputy manager got up and greeted Serenity.
“Hello, how is Zachary now? Is he not awake yet?”
Serenity’s gaze fell on Zachary the moment she walked into the ward. Seeing
that Zachary was asleep, she thought he was still out cold.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe deputy manager replied, “Mr. York might be drowsy from the medicine. He
fell asleep just before you arrived.”
The truth was, Mr. York went to bed about two minutes ago.
The deputy manager dared say that Mr. York was pretending to be asleep.
Serenity sat on his bed.
Reaching out, she stroked his face and said, “Is he still burning?”
“Mr. York has the viral flu. His fever will come and go. Plus, he fainted from the
high fever. The doctor recommended that he stays in the hospital for a few
days. He can be discharged from the hospital once the fever subsides and the
coughing stops,” the manager replied instead.
Zachary, playing the sleeping prince, had his eyelashes fluttered.
He could not believe that the doctor wanted to keep him in the hospital for a few
days.
It would prolong his business trip.
Who was the doctor that examined him?
It was merely a cold with a fever. Yet, he was asked to remain at the hospital for
days!
