After the three vicious bites, Serenity took advantage of the time he was in pain to forcefully break out of his embrace and got up to bring over the vial of medicine to administer the injection. She handed it to him, her pretty face threatening, “Take it!”
Zachary’s face and lips had been bitten by her and he was now in pain, but he still had to take the vial of medicine. He accepted the vial as his dark eyes looked at her.
“Don’t pretend to be so pitiful. I won’t give in.”
Zachary chuckled. She was prickly on the outside but a softie on the inside.
He looked at her as he took the jab.
It was very painful, but with her watching him, he felt that it was not painful at all anymore and even felt good.
Very quickly, Zachary completed the jab.
Once he was done, Serenity took the emptied syringe from him and took it into the kitchen to dispose of properly.
The moment his wife left, Zachary immediately started searching everywhere for something in the living area.
It was so painful!
He wanted to have some painkillers to ease the pain.
“What are you looking for?” Serenity came out and asked when she saw him searching for something.
Zachary quickly took off his wedding ring and placed it under the coffee table, replying, “I dropped my wedding ring, so I’m looking for it.
“I found it! It was under the coffee table.”
He picked up the ring and stood straight, putting his ring back onto his ring finger matter-of-factly.
Serenity did not say anything and he could not tell if she bought the act.
“Go to sleep early,” Serenity said and returned to her room.
Zachary made a sound in acknowledgment and once she entered her room and closed the door, he crept into the kitchen like a thief. He could not find any ibuprofen but there was some cough syrup. He took a small spoon, opened the bottle, and poured a little cough syrup onto the spoon and then in his mouth it went.
The rush of relief chased away the pain.
Why were needles so painful?!
