Chapter 894
Married at First Sight
A few minutes later, Zachary arrived in a hurry.
âSeren.â
There was only Serenity in his eyes. He did not notice Remy sitting to the side chatting with Elisa.
Zachary quickly walked to Serenity and looked at the IV drip, then he crouched and gently held up Serenityâs injured finger. His heart ached as he asked, âDoes it hurt?â
âWhy donât you try for yourself?â
Zachary blamed himself. âIâm sorry, Seren. I was wrong again.â
Serenity pursed her lips and said, âIt has nothing to do with you. I hurt myself accidentally.â
Zachary looked up at her. She met his eyes for a moment and then looked away.
His heart clenched.
He stood up, and said after a moment, âThe infusion is finished. Iâll send you home.
Rest well and donât touch cold water for the next few days so the wound doesnât get infected.â
âYouâre busy with work, so you donât need to send me. Elisa will send me home.â
It was a Saturday, but his whole company was working overtime. It was clear that work was up to their necks.
Zachary stared at her.
Elisa and Remy, who were watching from the side, exchanged glances.
Remy cleared his throat.
Only then did Zachary notice him.
âWhy are you here, Mr. Johnson?â
Remy smiled wryly. âIâm a fully grown man who has been sitting here the entire time. Youâve been here for several minutes but havenât seen me. It seems I have the ability to turn invisible.â
âWhat happened, Mr. Johnson?â Zachary did not get offended by Remyâs sarcasm. He only saw Serenity when he entered and did not notice anyone else.
He did not expect to see Remy here.
âI donât know why, but I suddenly got a stomach bug. I came to the hospital because I couldnât handle it anymore.â
Zachary glanced at Elisa.
He seemed to have a sudden feeling that Elisa and Remy were a good match.
âSerenâs infusion is finished. Call the nurse over and help her remove the needle,â
Elisa instructed Zachary to call for the nurse.
Zachary did not like Elisa talking to him in a commanding tone, but he had to endure it as he went to call the nurse.
After the nurse pulled out the needle, he instinctively wanted to help Serenity press the puncture wound, but Elisa was faster than him and pressed it first. She also said in a warm voice, âSeren, you need to keep pressure on it for a few minutes so it doesnât bleed.â
Zachary could not steal the spotlight from Elisa. He could not argue with Elisa now.
He asked with concern, âHas Seren gotten her medicine yet?â
âNot yet. You go to the pharmacy to get it for her. There is no oral medicine. Itâs all topical medication for dressing wounds.â
The one who answered was naturally Elisa.
Zachary pursed his lips and turned around to go to the pharmacy to help his wife get her medicine.
As soon as he did, Elisa helped Serenity walk out.
âSeren.â
Zachary quickly walked over. âLet me take you home, okay?â
He then said to Elisa, âThank you for taking care of her, Ms. Stone.â
Serenity did not want to come to the hospital. It was Elisa who dragged her here.
This was something Zachary was thankful to Elisa for.
Serenity and Zacharyâs relationship as a couple warmed up a bit but fell back to square one because of Elisa. Zachary was especially displeased with that and was even jealous of Elisa, but he could not deny that Elisa genuinely cared about Serenity.
Zachary also knew that he could no longer treat Elisa as coldly as before.
She was Serenityâs cousin! Serenity cared about her.
Zachary thought about how Serenity seemed to care about everyone except for him, and his heart felt bitter again.
