Zack, who was about to get up and walk away, could not help but say, “Seren, we’re husband and wife. Don’t be so courteous with me.”
A couple who interacted with each other so courteously was not in love.
Serena pursed her lips and remained silent.
Zack looked deeply at her for a long moment before getting up and going into the small kitchen to make her hot cocoa.
Beep beep!
Serena received a new message. She took out her phone to look at it and it turned out to be from Jim.
“Missus, the boss hasn’t eaten yet.”
Serena replied to Jim, “Got it.”
She put down her phone, got up, and entered the kitchen too.
Due to the fact that the sisters constantly ate out, there was nothing much to eat in the kitchen. Serena looked in the fridge and silently closed the fridge door.
“Seren, what are you looking for? What do you want to eat? Tell me and I’ll make it for you.”
“It’s nothing. I’m just checking to see if there are still any groceries left in the fridge. If not, I’ll have to go to the supermarket to buy some tomorrow morning.”
Serena said, then turned around and left the kitchen.
Returning to the sofa, she picked up her phone and texted Jim, “Jim, please buy some fast food for your boss and send it over here.”
Jim very quickly replied, “Missus, I’ve bought the fast food and I’ll send it up ASAP.”
Serena could not help but praise Jim in her heart for being quick–witted.
Soon afterwards, the doorbell rang.
Serena got up to open the door and there Jim stood. Seeing her open the door, he respectfully said, “Missus.”
Then he passed the fast food he had bought to Serena and whispered, “The boss has been working like mad lately. He hasn’t been eating properly. Whenever we send him food, he keeps forgetting to eat.”
Serena took the fast food, and said, “Got it. I’ll remind him.”
Jim was extremely grateful.
After closing the door, Serena took a few deep breaths to suppress the heartache and anger she was feeling. When she walked into the kitchen, she saw Zack pressing a hand against his stomach with his other hand supporting him against the kitchen counter, seemingly in a lot of pain.
“You’re having a stomachache, aren’t you?”
An angry voice filled the room.
He did not have to turn his head to know it was his esteemed wife.
Zack stood up straight in a flash, but the pain emanating from his stomach twisted his expression.
Serena felt her heart ache incredibly when she saw this and went forward to support him. She helped him out of the kitchen and pressed him down onto the sofa, asking, “Does your stomach hurt?”
“Seren, I–I just need to bear with it for a bit and I’ll be fine. I might just be hungry… I–1 forgot to eat.”
Facing his wrathful, beloved wife, Zack felt extremely guilty.
He did not starve himself on purpose. It was just that when he was focused on his work, he kept forgetting to pay attention to his body.
It was not just the past few days. Since Valentine’s Day, he had not eaten properly. Even if he remembered to eat, he did not enjoy it. The meal he had enjoyed the most recently was the lunch he had at the Stones‘ residence earlier.
Serena opened the bag of takeout Jim had brought. There was a bowl of soup and Serena took that out first, letting Zack first have some of that before the pasta.
“After dinner, I’ll bring you to the hospital to get some medication prescribed.”
The Yorks had a family doctor, but this man probably would not let the family doctor see him.
“There’s no need to see a doctor. I’ll be fine after I eat.”
Recently, he often only realized he had not eaten after he got so hungry his stomach.
hurt.
“Hurry up and eat!” Serena coldly ordered.
After he started eating, she entered the kitchen to turn the stove off. The hot cocoa he was preparing for her was done.
Carrying the piping hot drink out from the kitchen, Serena saw that Zack was already done with his food.
“If you have gastric problems, you should eat slower. Don’t eat too fast. Once I’ve finished this, I’m bringing you to the hospital.”
“Seren, there’s no need to.”
Serena glared at him and said coldly, “I said we’re going, so we’re going!”
Zack snuck a glance at his wife’s expression.
He no longer dared say anything like he was not going to the hospital.
“I heard you’ve been working like mad lately.”
Zack answered carefully, “I’ve always been very busy. I–I’m not deliberately using work to numb myself.”
Serena knew he was very busy. Back when they just registered their marriage, shel got home late and he got home even later than she did.
As the head of a large corporation, his schedule was packed to the brim every day. Every single minute was very valuable and cost a lot of money.
Lately, possibly due to their relationship, he worked even harder than normal.
She thought about what he said before, that he would work hard to earn even more money. Afterwards, as long as she was willing to cooperate with him and go through the formalities, she could become the richest woman in Wiltspoon at any time.
Serena’s heart ached.
After the anger and resentment subsided, she found that her heart ached more for him.
Serena glared at him in silence.
Zack was actually very nervous.
He clasped his hands together, glancing at his beloved wife’s expression from time to time. Maybe because he was overly nervous, he felt that his stomachache this time did not recede after eating and continued to emit waves of pain.
Serena picked up her phone, went to get her car keys, then said with a still icy expression on her pretty face, “I’m bringing you to the hospital.”
“Seren, you still haven’t finished your drink.”
“I’m not in pain right now. The one in pain is you.” Serena rebutted, but still drank her hot cocoa.
“Liberty, I’m sending Zack back.”
Serena said toward the direction of her sister’s room, not telling her that Zack was feeling unwell and that she was sending him to the hospital.
“Alright, be careful on the road,” Liberty answered from her room, not coming out.
Internally she thought to herself with relief that at least they had made up a little.
The troop of bodyguards waited downstairs and seeing that their boss wast accompanied by the missus, they were surprised, but very quickly realized something was wrong as their boss seemed unwell.
“Boss.”
Jim and the rest greeted them.
“Missus, what’s wrong with the boss?” the bodyguards asked, concerned.
Serena unlocked her car and said to Zack, “Zack, get in the car first.”
“Jim, can you support your boss? He’s having gastric problems.”
