Chapter 948
Chapter 949
After enduring three fierce bites, Serenity seized the opportunity while Zachary was in pain to forcefully escape his embrace. She quickly got up to retrieve the vial of medicine for the injection. Handing it to him, her lovely face turned stern as she commanded, “Take it p>
Though Zachary’s face and lips bore the marks of her bites and he was experiencing pain, he had no choice but to accept the vial. His dark eyes met hers as he did so.
“Don’t act so pitiful. I won’t give in,” he retorted.
Zachary chuckled, recognizing her prickly exterior masked a softer side.
As he took the jab, he focused on her. Although the injection was quite painful, having her watch him made the discomfort feel minimal, even somewhat pleasant.
In no time, Zachary finished the injection.
Once he was done, Serenity took the used syringe and went into the kitchen to dispose of it properly.
The moment his wife left, Zachary began searching frantically around the living area.
The pain was intense!
He desperately needed some painkillers to alleviate his discomfort.
“What are you looking for?” Serenity asked as she noticed him searching.
Zachary quickly removed his wedding ring and hid it under the coffee table, responding, “I dropped my wedding ring, so I’m looking for it p>
“I found it! It was under the coffee table,” she exclaimed.
He retrieved the ring and stood upright, casually placing it back on his finger.
Serenity remained silent, leaving him uncertain if she believed his excuse.
Zachary acknowledged her with a sound, then, once she was inside and the door was closed, he quietly crept into the kitchen like a thief. He couldn’t find any ibuprofen, but there was…
He reached for some cough syrup. Taking a small spoon, he opened the bottle and poured a little syrup into the spoon before swallowing it. The rush of relief chased away the pain. Why were needles so painful?! He truly despised them. The doctor had been so unkind—without asking how he felt, she immediately prescribed injections. After taking the cough syrup, Zachary felt a bit better.
After washing the spoon and returning it to its place, he turned to leave the kitchen. That’s when he spotted his esteemed wife leaning against the doorframe, her hands tucked into her pockets as she simply watched him.
Zachary was momentarily taken aback, but he admitted, “The injection was too painful, so I had some cough syrup for relief p>
“The vials aren’t sufficient. Once you’re finished, I’ll ask the doctor for more and let you take them for a bit longer to help your stomach heal p>
Zachary remained silent. After Serenity finished speaking, she pulled her hands from her pockets and turned to walk away.
“Seren p>
Zachary followed her. “Seren, my stomach heals based on what I eat. As long as I have three proper meals a day and choose gentle foods, I can gradually recover even without medication p>
“I don’t have the time to help you recover that way p>
“Yes, yes. My wife is very busy p>
“Why are you following me p>
“Your room is my room too. I’ll sleep wherever you do p>
Zachary fully embraced his playful side. After closing the door, he pulled Serenity close and leaned down to capture her lips, eager to claim the benefits that came with being her husband. It was unfortunate that she was on her period, preventing them from making babies.
Spending the night with her in her room was more than enough for him.
No matter how dark Serenity’s mood became, Zachary refused to leave her side. If she got angry, he would clutch his stomach and moan, “It hurts! It hurts so badly!” This would prompt his beloved wife to stop trying to kick him out, allowing him to remain by her side and fall asleep holding her in his arms.
Though Serenity didn’t explicitly say she forgave Zachary, her every word and action indicated that her anger had dissipated.
The following morning, when Zachary awoke, Serenity had already prepared breakfast for him, which consisted of pumpkin oat porridge.
