Zachary forced a laugh and said, “Is my wife taking control of me now? I don’t have an appetite and don’t want to eat. I’m working so hard now because I want to finish work early and go back to you.”
“Even if you want to come back soon, you have to take care of your health. Are you staying at a hotel now? If you don’t have an appetite, then just eat something light.
“Pick up your phone, Zachary. I want to see you.”
Zachary did not move.
Serenity got angry. “Zachary York, I’ll give you till the count of three. If you don’t let me see you, I won’t talk to you for the rest of the year. I won’t answer your calls or reply to your texts either. One…”
As soon as she started counting, Zachary’s face appeared on the screen.
He looked miserable. His usually cold and indifferent face was flushed an abnormal red. Serenity was startled and asked, “Didn’t you go see a doctor? You must be running a high fever now. Are you trying to worry me to death?!”
Zachary propped his head up with his hand and forced himself to say, “I took a cold medicine I bought from the drugstore, but it’s not very effective… Maybe it’s treating the wrong symptoms.”
“Are you still in the office?”
“I’m not in the office. I’m in the apartment. The company has a few apartments for people from the headquarters to stay in when they travel over.”
The apartment he was staying in had a study, and he was currently at his desk in said study. He thought his cold would soon clear up after taking the medicine.
Unexpectedly, his temperature continued to rise after a few hours.
He was feeling more uncomfortable as well.
Zachary’s body had always been healthy and he rarely had colds. As a result, the rare cold that he caught this time was making him suffer.
He overestimated his constitution.
He thought he could pull through.
“Get yourself to the hospital now. Right now! Don’t drive the car your company prepared for you. Take a taxi!”
Serenity ordered him, “Do you hear me? Go to the hospital immediately!”
She was so anxious.
A fully grown man like him did not know how to take care of his cold.
Did he not feel uncomfortable that his temperature was rising?
“I think… Seren, I’ll hang up first.”
Zachary could no longer hang on and hurriedly hung up the phone, afraid that Serenity would be frightened if she saw him faint.
He then called the general manager of the branch, trying to ask the latter to send him to the hospital. However, before the call could get through, his vision went black and he collapsed on the table.
On the other side, Serenity was startled when Zachary suddenly hung up on her. She wanted to dive into her phone and fly to his side along the radio waves.
She sent a voice message to him but he did not reply.
She called him again, but he did not answer.
“Did he faint?”
Thinking of his high workload and how he did not have a good rest the past few days because of their quarrel, Serenity felt that he might have actually fainted from fever.
She suddenly got up and ran outside.
She had to find Zachary!
She was worried about him.
However, she stopped when her hand fell on the doorknob.
There was something more urgent to attend to now.
Zachary’s fever would fry his brain before she got there.
She immediately called Jasmine. When the call connected, she quickly said, “Jasmine, what’s Josh’s number? I need to talk to him.”
Josh and Zachary were colleagues, and Zachary had connections with him. It would be faster to contact people connected to Josh and let them send Zachary to the hospital.
“What’s wrong, Seren? Wait, Josh is here now. I’ll put him on the phone.”
Jasmine handed the phone to Josh, who was sitting opposite her. “Mr. Bucham, it’s Seren.”
Josh thought she was calling about the recording.
“Mr. Bucham, Zachary has a cold with a high fever. He may have fainted. Can you contact someone over there to take him to the hospital? Also, can you make arrangements for me to go over there now?”
