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.
