Then he passed the fast food he had bought to Serenity 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.”
Serenity took the fast food, and said, “Got it. I’ll remind him.”
Jim was extremely grateful.
After closing the door, Serenity took a few deep breaths to suppress the heartache and anger she was feeling. When she walked into the kitchen, she saw Zachary 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.
Zachary stood up straight in a flash, but the pain emanating from his stomach twisted his expression.
Serenity 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-I forgot to eat.”
Facing his wrathful, beloved wife, Zachary 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.
Serenity opened the bag of takeout Jim had brought. There was a bowl of soup and Serenity took that out first, letting Zachary 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!” Serenity 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.
