Married at First Sight Novel Chapter 675 – Seeing that Zachary was still staring at her,
Serenity put her phone aside and got up. She drew close and kissed him on the cheek. Tenderly she uttered, “Go on to bed now.”
Serenity then touched his head. “Is there a thermometer here? I’ll check on your temperature. You still feel hot.
You’re on IV drips and the pills already, but the fever hasn’t really gone down.” Zachary replied in all honesty,
“I don’t know if there’s a thermometer here too.” “I’ll ask for one at the nurse’s station.” Serenity grabbed her phone and took off.
Zachary’s phone happened to ring when she left the room. It was Josh. Zachary took the call. “Why aren’t you asleep this late in the night?”
“I have the habit of checking my phone when I wake up. I saw the message from your wife that she made it there safe and sound.
Since I was awake, I thought I might as well call to check on you. Has your fever gone down?” Zachary faintly said, “Not completely.
The doctor said I had to stay in the hospital for a few days. They’re just making more money out of me.”
That was the mentality of patients. Patients themselves believed they were not sickly, and the doctor’s orders to be kept for observation in the hospital
were only a ruse to make more money. The great Mr. York did not care about money, but he hated to lie on his back in the hospital all day.
hated to lie on his back in the hospital all day. He would have discharged himself first thing in the morning if Serenity had not come over.
Now, he would be bound to the bed for days. Zachary had never been hospitalized since he was born.
“It’s not like you don’t have the money. Just listen to the doctor. I sent your wife over to take care of you.
You can use the time to patch things with your wife.” Zachary grimaced. “Patch things? Things are fine between us.” “Heh.”
Josh had grown accustomed to Zachary’s stubbornness. A certain somebody got into a huge fight with his wife because of something small.
That somebody even gave his wife the snub. Yet, he flew back the second he heard his wife go drinking at a bar.
Zachary had been contradicting himself since day one. “Did the Stones give you an invitation to their party?”
“Yeah. I intend to attend the event. Don’t worry. I won’t betray you.”
Zachary replied, “Seren will think there are sparks between us if she were to hear you. I’ll beat you up if you come between us.”
“How can I come between you when you guys are solid? I don’t even have a wife yet, but I’m working on it.
I’ll be the one in trouble if Ms. Sox thinks I swing the other way and have a thing for you. “The Stones also invited Ms. Sox to the party.”
Josh added the last sentence to explain his attendance at the event. “My wife’s coming back. I’m going to end the call.”
With Zachary’s ears picking up on the familiar footsteps outside, he added to Josh, “Don’t call me unless it’s an emergency while I’m trying to get my health back.” “Your wife coming back doesn’t interfere with our phone call, no?” “I’m a patient now. My wife is strict and wants me to rest.”
Josh was speechless. Why did he get the feeling that Zachary was showing off his relationship again? The guy was flaunting that someone was caring for him during his time of sickness. Zachary hung up and put the phone back before lying down like nothing ever happened and closing his eyes.
He only opened his eyes when Serenity entered the room. Serenity brought the thermometer over and checked on his temperature.
She also noted the time. Serenity then sat on the bed and whipped out her phone to watch videos.
A few minutes later, Serenity took the thermometer from his armpit and looked at it before uttering,
“Your temperature is down to thirty-eight degrees Celsius.” She could rest a little now.
