Serenity said, “Okay. We’ll do as the doctor said. We’ll keep him in the hospital for a few days until he’s well enough to be discharged. His work… His salary…”
With Zachary in the hospital, Serenity was hoping to get him to rest for a few days.
His boss owned the company. The company was not Zachary’s, so why must he devote his everything when he was sick?
The manager jumped in. “Don’t worry, Ms. Hunt. We’ll take over Mr. York’s work. We promise that we won’t bother him about work while he’s in the hospital. Mr. York is on a business trip, so his salary is not affected.”
York Corporation belonged to Mr. York. Yet, the CEO’s wife was asking about Mr. York’s salary. She was worried whether his salary would be cut since he had to remain in the hospital.
“Thank you.”
Serenity expressed her gratitude, under the impression that she got her man a few days of paid leave.
“Ms. Hunt, do you need us here to look after Mr. York?”
Serenity asked, “How many bags of IV fluid does he need to be on?”
“One more bag and he’s done.”
“I’ll stay with him. I came here to look after him anyway.”
The manager uttered gratefully, “Thank you for coming all the way to take care of Mr. York. It makes things a lot easier for us.”
They had intended to assign their secretary to look after Zachary, but Zachary had a thing against young women getting close to him. In the end, they gave up on the idea of getting the secretary here.
With the CEO’s wife here, it showed that she felt deeply for Mr. York. The manager and deputy manager were envious of their relationship. Although they had no idea when Mr. York had gotten married, the woman must be the CEO’s wife because Mr. Bucham said so.
Another thing was that they did not have to face Mr. York, who hated the hospital so much, all day every day.
“Here are a few desserts Mr. York got for you, Ms. Hunt. We have fresh fruit and milk too. I’ll pay you for your time to come here and care for Mr. York. Come to the office to see me when Mr. York is discharged from the hospital.”
Serenity did not refuse the manager’s offer to pay for her time.
She mentioned Mr. York’s salary.
“Mr. York told me to buy some fruits and desserts when he found out that Ms. Hunt was on her way over. I can tell from these gestures that Mr. York is good to Ms. Hunt.”
The deputy manager complimented, “You have a keen observation, Mr. Tank.”
Serenity was in the dark about the conversation between the managers. She stared at Zachary who was in bed and felt his head from time to time. With each touch, the frown on her face deepened.
Zachary’s temperature had not gone down.
After feeling his temperature once more, Serenity sat down on a chair by the bed. She pulled out her phone to send her sister and the others a text message to inform them that she was at the hospital with Zachary.
She told her sister about Zachary’s condition.
Serenity then sent Jasmine a message.
