He handed the fast food he had purchased to Serenity and whispered, “The boss has been working tirelessly lately and hasn’t been eating properly. Whenever we send him food, he keeps forgetting to eat p>
Serenity accepted the fast food and replied, “Understood. I’ll remind him p>
Jim expressed his gratitude.
Once she closed the door, Serenity took a few deep breaths to manage the heartache and anger she was feeling. As she entered the kitchen, she noticed Zachary pressing one hand against his stomach while the other supported him against the counter, clearly in distress.
An angry voice filled the room.
Zachary didn’t need to turn his head to know it was his beloved wife.
He straightened up instantly, but the pain from his stomach twisted his expression.
Seeing this made Serenity’s heart ache, and she rushed to support him. She guided him out of the kitchen and onto the sofa, asking, “Does your stomach hurt p>
“Seren, I—I just need to endure it for a bit, and I’ll be fine. I might just be hungry… I—I forgot to eat p>
Faced with his wife’s fury, Zachary felt incredibly guilty.
He hadn’t intended to skip meals; he simply lost track of his body while concentrating on work.
This wasn’t just a recent issue; since Valentine’s Day, he hadn’t eaten properly. Even when he did remember to eat, he didn’t enjoy it. The most satisfying meal he had recently was the lunch at the Stones’ residence earlier.
Serenity opened the takeout bag Jim had brought. She first removed a bowl of soup, offering it to Zachary before the pasta.
hospital visit for medication, the Yorks had a family doctor, but it was unlikely that this man would allow the family doctor to see him. “There’s no need to see a doctor. I’ll feel better after I eat,” he insisted. Lately, he often only realized he hadn’t eaten when his stomach hurt from hunger. “Hurry up and eat!” Serenity ordered coldly. Once he began eating, she went into the kitchen to turn off the stove; the hot cocoa she had requested was ready.
As she carried the steaming drink from the kitchen, Serenity noticed that Zachary had already finished his meal. “If you have gastric issues, you should eat more slowly. Don’t rush,” she advised. “Once I finish this, I’m taking you to the hospital p>
“Seren, there’s really no need for that,” he replied. Serenity shot him a glare and firmly stated, “I said we’re going, so we’re going p>
Zachary stole a glance at his wife’s expression, realizing he could no longer protest about going to the hospital. “I heard you’ve been working excessively lately,” she remarked.
Zachary responded cautiously, “I’ve always been very busy. I—I’m not intentionally using work to distract myself.” Serenity understood how busy he was. When they first registered their marriage, she often returned home late, only to find he arrived even later. As the head of a large corporation, his days were crammed with back-to-back meetings, where every minute was precious and costly.
Recently, possibly due to their relationship challenges, he seemed to be working harder than usual. She recalled his earlier words about his commitment to earning more money. He had mentioned that if she cooperated and completed the necessary formalities, she could easily become the wealthiest woman in Wiltspoon. Serenity felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
As her anger and resentment faded, she realized that her heart ached even more for him. Serenity glared at him in silence. Zachary felt quite nervous. He clasped his hands together, stealing glances at his beloved wife’s expression. Perhaps due to his heightened anxiety, his stomachache persisted, even after eating, sending waves of discomfort through him. Serenity picked up her phone, retrieved her car keys, and, maintaining her icy demeanor, said, “I’m taking you to the hospital.” “Seren, you still haven’t finished your drink,” he replied. “I’m not the one in pain right now; you are,” Serenity countered, yet she still sipped her hot cocoa.
