Chapter 672
With the messages sent out, Serenity stuffed the phone back into her pocket.
Everybody must be asleep since it was late at night. She did not count on
receiving an immediate reply.
Zachary gradually came around.
Opening his eyes, Zachary deliberately made a bewildered face as if he could
not believe Serenity was here. He lifted his free hand and rubbed his eyes while
mumbling to himself, “Is the fever getting to me? Are my eyes deceiving me?
Why is my Seren here?” 1

Serenity pulled his arm away from his face and gave him a hard pinch on the
hand.

Zachary pulled those cute puppy dog eyes. “It hurts. It hurts so bad.”
“It’s good that you felt the pain. You’re not dreaming. This is reality. I told you I’ll
make my way here if you don’t get a doctor’s appointment.”
Zachary was about to sit up.
“Lie down. You’re in a hospital. You’re still burning up. I don’t know why you
want to tough it out.”
Serenity pressed him down. “Now lie yourself down. How do you feel now?”
“My temperature has gone down but not completely. My throat feels sore. Even
my voice is hoarse. Cough, cough…”
Zachary hacked his throat.
“I’m starting to cough. Seren, can you ask the nurse for a mask? I have a viral
cold, so you might get it from me.”
He reached out to press the call button above his head. Once the nurse
answered the call, he said to the nurse, “Can you give me two masks?”
“Why do you need the masks?” the nurse inquired.
Zachary answered in a raspy voice, “I have the viral flu, and my wife’s here to
take care of me. Can you give the masks to my wife? I don’t want to spread the
flu to my wife.”
The nurse ended the communication.
Soon, the nurse came knocking on the door and delivered two medical masks.
‘Thank you.”
Serenity expressed her thanks and put on a mask.
Zachary said, “You should grab a couple more packs of these marks from the
pharmacy when it’s morning. You better have a mask on around me before I get
better. I don’t want you to be sick while I’m sick too.”
“Sure. Is the chicken soup for you?”
Noticing the takeaway chicken soup, Serenity put her hand out to feel the
container. It was still warm.
“It’s mine. Mr. Tank bought it for me. I was asleep, so I hadn’t eaten.”

Raising his right arm, Zachary uttered helplessly, “My right hand is still on drips.
I can’t really eat with my left hand.”
Serenity helped him to sit up before taking out the container of soup. She
remarked, “I’ve seen you using utensils with both hands. You had no problems
then. You can just be straight that you want me to feed you.”
Zachary’s eyes were gleaming. “Did I? I don’t remember. It’s not convenient to
eat with my hands now. Seren, I’ll find the chicken soup a gourmet if you feed
me.”
“You should get a doctor to examine you if you don’t feel well next time. Work is
important, but it isn’t more important than your health. You work for your boss,
and the company doesn’t belong to you. Do you need to give your boss your
life?”
Serenity nagged while spooning him the soup.
